pel and Intellectual Curiosity. " xviii. 1-3. _Corinth_. Paul's earthly Home. " " 4-17. The Missionary's Discouragements and Encouragements. " " 23-28. A polished Shaft in God's Quiver. " xix. _Ephesus_. See the text. Also, Conflict of Christianity with Vested Interests and Mob Violence. 79. Howson's _Companions of St. Paul_. 81. A minute inspection of Acts xiii. 9 will confirm the view here given of the change of name, though it is difficult to get rid of the idea that the conversion of the governor, who bore the same name, had something to do with it. 84. On the worship of the synagogue see Farrar's _Life of Christ_, i. 220. 89. On the Council of Jerusalem, which took place between the first and second journeys, see ch. ix. 93. What is here said of the plan of the Acts explains still more strikingly the meagerness of the record of the third journey. 97. Beroea was to the south of the Via Egnatia. 99. Subject of class essay: The Influence of Christianity on the Lot of Woman. 103. Subject of class essay: Paul at Athens. 104. Subject of class essay: Paul and Socrates. 113. A strong argument against the mythical theory of the miracles of our Lord may be constructed from the paucity of the miracles attributed to Paul. If that age naturally wove miraculous legends round great names, why did it not encircle Paul with a continuous web of miracle? and why does the New Testament admit that the Baptist worked no miracle? 114. See Ramsay, _Letters to the Seven Churches_. 79. _Give a list of Paul's companions and friends mentioned in the New Testament._ 84. _What were the charges generally brought against him before the authorities?_ 91. _Where in his writings does he mention Barnabas and Mark?_ 93. _Give the places in Acts where the items of this catalogue are recorded._ 94. _Mention other classical associations of this region._ 98. _What two kings of Macedonia are famous in history?_ 102. _Expand these allusions to Greek history._ 103. _Give a number of the names associated with the golden age of Athens and mention what they were famous for._ 108. _Find out all the visions mentioned in Paul's life, and prove that they were given him at the crises of his history._ 110. _Distinguish our Asia and Asia Minor from the Asia of the New Testament._ CHAPTER VII
