McManus “HOME OF GOOD MERCHANDISE” — O’Neill — BIBLE COMMENT FOR SUNDAY, DEC. 12 EPISTLES OF PAUL STAND AS WORLD'S GREATEST LETTERS The Apostle Peter, while he commended “beloved brother Paul’s” Epistles (II Peter 3:15 16) said also that Paul had written “some things hard to be understood.” The New Testament contains epistles by Paul, Peter, James, John and Jude. Of these a greater number are by Paul. As far as their length, variety, subject matter, and historic glace and impact upon the hristian church, they are much the most formidable, even though the Epistles are all alike and bear much sim ilarity in their expression. If. we were to judge Paul's Epistles by those more ob scure and difficult passages | to which Peter referred or by the many references to local problems and contro vecies in the churches, we should hardly think of his letters as being the world's greatest. But think of the many pas sages in which Paul showed himself far in advance of his age and well abreast of mod 1 ern thought and movements1 in his conception of liberty. Think of his conception of church and society in which men are members one of another. Think of the clarity of his zeal for righteousness and the sound ness of his ideas concerning life and labor. And then you have reason to appreciate the greatness of Paul and his let ters. If Paul had written nothing but the 13th chapter of I Cor inthians, the “love” chapter,' that gem of spiritual and liter ary perfection would have marked his greatness. But that is only the finest of many richly beautiful chapters. And his prayer for his fel low-Chrislians in the clos ing verses of Ephesians 3 has an eloquence of words that matches the magnitude of his vision of the bound less possibilities of Christian attainment. These are but a few ex amples of the world’s greatest letters'. With the vigor and va riety of the Pauline concep tions was combined a rich vo cabulary and a high skill in the use of words. Men of action are not al ways articulate or forceful in expression, but Paul was as great in words, at least in the written word, as he was in deeds. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Grage left Saturday for Albion where they spent a few days visiting friends and relatives. Scenes Like This Seem A Long Ways Off...
