HEEBICK HOME FOE VISIT
New York, Sept. 4. Myron T
Herrick, American ambassador to
France, returned today on the lie de
France, to be in the United States
until late November. He declined to
say whether he planned to be active
in the presidential campaign. In
formed that press dispatches said he
was coming home to strengthen the
republican position in Ohio, Mr. Her
rick smilingly said: "That may have
grown out of the remark that I would
visit a number of my oil haunts."
The ambassador expressed a de
sire to convey to the American pub
lic the idea that the success of the
United States as a gigantic business
organization "was important not
alnnp tn thp United States hut alsn
to the rest of the world."
"America has become a creditor
J nation." he continued, "and our fi-
nancial interests are intermingled
with all other nations in a manner
that never existed before. Everything
depends upon our continuing and
saintainiss this relationship.
Paul Preached the Christ
Paul left Berea and went to Ath
ens, which was at that time one of
the most wonderful if not actually
the most wonderful city in the world.
The very name Athens is yet asso
ciated with learning, and notwith
standing that ages have passed since
Paul and Silas were there, the great
men in many lines are given promi
nent place in the history of the
world and are counted as among the
greatest men the ages have produced
in their particular lines.
Among the great statesmen of the
world will be found the Greeks. So
lon, Themistocles and Pericles, while
in the field of philosophers are Soc
rates, Plato and Aristotle. Demos
thenes, the great orator, and Phid
ias, the sculpturer and Pinder and
Simonides, the poets, maintain the
fame of Athens unto this day.
Athens was then and has remain
ed a wonderful city. But in those
days there were something over three
thousand different gods and dieties
whom people worshipped. With so
many separately named gods, the peo
ple were looking for something fur
ther to amuse them, so they erected
a pillar containing an inscription that
read: "The Unknown God.
After Paul and Silas had arrived
in Athens, they senator Timothy,
but ' Paul would not" wait for ' re
inforcements, as he felt he must con
tinue to press into the work for the
Master, and as he was. .becoming ac
quainted with the ,city and its cos
mopolitan populations, its philosoph
ers, its jesters and its varied types
of people, he engaged them in con
versation and challenged their at
tention to the Christ, whom he was
ambassador for and whose cause was
nearest his heart. He needed no in
troduction for he went where people
congregate and there he carried the
story of the Christ who had been
crucified and risen irom the dead.
This Christ he proclaimed unto the
peorle and directed them in the way
of salvation.
As Paul told of the Christ and of
his resurrection, the people were in
terested some laughed, others want
ed to be amused by the story and
they invited Paul to speak on Mars
hill, the great open air theatre, and
when the people were assembled, he
addressed ther.i with that familiar
opening to his speech, when he said:
"Men of Athens, I perceive in all
things -ou are too superstitious. For
as I passed ty and oeneid your de-
I found an altar with this
inscription: To the Unknown God.'
Whom therefore ye ignorantly wor
ship, him declare I unto you."
Beginning there, he preached the
true God unto them and the Christ
whom the Father had sent unto the
world with his message of love and
forgiveness, and made it plain that
there was no other name given un
der heaven and among men where
by the world might be saved. When
Paul preached of the resurrection of
Christ from the dead, many laughed
and mocked, while others said, "We
will hear you again." Still there
were some believed and . a church
was established. Paul stayed about
seven weeks at Athens and then went
to Corinth.
Another Notable City
Corinth was a city peculiarly situ
ated where the commerce of two por
tions of the world met, the east and
the west. It was located on a nar
row neck of land between two seas,
on a rocky ledge about three miles
wide with two good harbors, one of
them leading to the east and the
other to the west, and over thi3 isth
nias was carried on the traffic of the
then east and west world. Later a
canal has been constructed through
which large ships are passeJ. At Cor
inth the party stayed for a year and
a half and established a church.
They met here Aquilla, a Jew who
had become a Christian and as they
were both tent makers they worked
at this business and included the
making of sail cloth, thereby sup
porting themselves and were not de
pendent on any one. They preached
in tne synagogue for a time, but
when the Jews were dissatisfied, they
went to the home of one named Jus
tus, which was near the synagogue
and there they preached and conduct
ed a campaign which in the end es
tablished a very strong church.
' Preach to the Gentiles
When the Jews opposed and blas
phemed and did everything possible
to prevent the success of the preach
ing by the apostles, Paul and Silas
shook their garments and sailed from
Corinth and henceforth their travels
will take us among the Gentiles, for
such was the purpose of the sending
out of Paul, for he was to be an apos
tle to the Gentiles, like Peter, that
the gospel might go to the entire
world.
Notwithstanding widespread ob-
r jection. Crispes, the ruler of the
s" synagogue, believed on the Lord and
'his house also. Crispes was person
's! ally baptised by Paul, though this
Jiwas not the custom, for Paul has
s" 'generally delegated the administer
ing of this ordinance to some one
else. The church which was orga
nized was a strong one, for many of
the Corinthians believed and were
baptised.
Received Assurance from God
With all the opposition, Paul stood
faithful and steadfast and in a vis
ion by night he was assured by the
Lord, who testified to him: "Be not
afraid, but sneak and hold not thv
Incapo frtr T am uritti tAo o n A rn man
shall set upon thee to harm thee, for
I have many people in this city."
After a year and a half, the mis
sionaries left, returning to Ephasis,
where Paul left them and returned
to Jerusalem. On the way he was
met by one, Appollis, who did much
good work. Paul going on to Jeru
salem thus completed the second mis
sionary journey. The third mission
ary journey will be when he goes to
Rome as a prisoner, but we will not
study of this journey for many weeks
yet.

French Roads
Automobile Clubs of Paris Are Ex

Fostering Imporvement
Paris The roads of France arc
a special concern of the Government
at the moment. At the Ministry of
Public Works, officials' are busy
working on a scheme, which has not
been,- attempted '. for many years
namely, one which will embrace ?
program for work over a period of
five years or more.
Growth of automobile traffic is
forcing the pace of road repairing
The Romans laid out the main ar
teries, and Napoleon brought them
up,to date, in part to suit the exigen
cies of, his military campaigns. The
last war was a factor in the wearinp
out of. many of the roads leading to
lhefrohtclihfe And Th the building
up of others in the rear.
Needs of Automobilists
But if today the roads are smooth
for mila after mile, though theii
breath may be due to the Roman?
and their straightness to Napoleon
the condition of their surfaces is in
answer to the needs of the modem
automobilist. Where in 1913 there
were 100, 600 cars rolling along their
roads, there are now more than
1.000,000. Some statistics raise thi?
lotter number to 3,000,000, including
all wheeled traffic. During the same
period, the cost of road work har
mounted eight or nine times.
SI. Poincare has passed his budgetr
cn time; the franc is stablized, and;
a measure or prosperity looms ahead
Those interested, therefore, in the
condition of the roads hope to havf
Parliament accept a bill which will
assure a definite program echeloned
over a period of some years. There
is talk also of the creation of a sepa
rate roads office to deal especially
with matters pertaining to roads. The
Ministry of Public Works has even
now started in the right direction
as if assuming the first section only
of an elaborate scheme were being
begun. Of the 25,000 miles of so
called first-grade roads, about one
fourth has now been classified a
