' M When St. Paul was at Epne sus his proclamation of the gospel caused such a stir that the idol makers, who were los ing money, protested until “the whole city was filled with con fusion.’’ Soon somebody started a chant; “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” Others joined and the chorus swelled until “all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesi ans’” (Acts 19;34) and the town clerk, referring to the religior which surrounded this pagan goddess, said confidently; “These thing cannot be spoken against” (Ver. 36). But later, at Rone, the apostle was informed, with re ference to those who had ac cepted the truths he had been proclaiming; “As concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against” (Acts 26:22). We wonder which sid* our reader would now prefer to be on; that of the superstitious "Awake, thou that sleepest," Eph. ~ ; 14. Whenever life seems routine arid dull to us, it is because we are drifting along in habits of thought and actr.it} that give us no real challenge. We are drifting along in a half-av.ake condition. We have lost, all sense of aurpcse in living. There is far more to all of us than we ever arouse arid utilize. We not only do not exert ourselves to *ull capacity, but we miss the .venders and joys that life has to give to us. To awake is to revolutionize the pattern of our lives. There is a responsive Divine Spirit wdth in each of us. When we take the attitude of arous ing ourselves to greater aware ness of all that we are and all that life is and has to offer to us, ve find ourselves cap able of greater joy in living. We awake to the variet;. of interesting things to be dot/e in our world. We awake to the needs of other persons. We awake to the spiritual richness of human associations. We a wake to appreciation of the creative efforts of others that lend so much Value to our personal lives. Church Chuckjes h y cartaykicht | A J! jjcMURCM <!
