PAGE TWO 1 —mKi scHoa ton CHRISTIANITY IN ASIA Intmutttonal Sunday School Lesson for July 13, IMI Golden Text: "So mightily new the word of the Lord and prevailed.”— Acts 19:20. Leeaon Teat: Acta 19:9-10; 23-32 Paul’s second missionary tour last ed three years and about one-half of the period was spent in Corinth, the western extent of his journey. It seems that he left this city, without jiriy great disturbance, turning lus way home-ward again. A short stop was made at Ephesus, where Paid preached, and promised to return later. Paul proceeded to Jerusalem, where he observed Pentecost and con ferred with various leaders of the church. Then he went to Antioch, to tell the Christians there the wonder ful story of the gospel extension at his hands into far-off regions. It was from this church that the great missionary journeys started. While at Antioch, some think, Paul wrote his Epistle to the Galatians. After a short rest Paul’s energy and enthusi asm impelled him to undertake an other journey. Timothy and Titus accompanied Paul on his third missionary tour. Journeying over land, pass i ng through the Cilician Gates, Paul re visited Derbe, Lystra, Iconium, and Pisidian Antioch, again strengthen ing and encouraging the Christian churches which he had established. He proceeded to Ephesus by a north ward route, finally reaching this city of Asia Minor where he was destined to stay longer than at any other missionary city. Ephesus was the capital of the Province of Asia Minor and one o the most important centers of the eastern Mediterranean, having ex tensive docks and a large commercial activity. It was well known for its literary and artistic expression, the latter being most famous for the magnificent Temple of Diana, which had required more than two centuries in the building and was ranged as one of the Seven Wonders of the ancien world. This building was 425 feet long by 220 feet wide, having one hundred and twenty-seven columns each 60 feet high, and constructed of very costly material. It was burned about the middle of the third century A. D., and was never rebuilt, although in the middle of the 19th century ex cavations by a British scientific ex pedition uncovered and located its site. On his way to Jerusalem, Paul left Aquila and Priscilla to work in Ephesus. While there they came in contact with Apollos, a disciple of John the Baptist, and a learned and powerful speaker, who was yet ignor ant of the fact that the promised Messiah had come, but he was open to instruction and the two Christians corrected his mental religious pic ture. In subsequent years he became useful and some think he was the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews. When Paul came back to Ephesus he found many believers who had re ceived no Christian baptism nor the gift of the Holy Spirit, and it was his task to instruct and acquaint the new members of the faith in these vital things. For three months Paul preached in the synagogue of Ephesus concerning the Kingdom of God, contrasting the purity, reason and holiness of this ideal state with the licentiousness, superstition and wrong of heathen beliefs and practices. He made pro gress in winning souls but because of opposition from some of the Jews finally abandoned the synagogue and went with his disciples to the school of Tyrannus where he taught two years. During this period Paul prob ably made frequent journeys into the outlying territory for we are told that all that dwelt in Asia Minor heard the word and various churches were established, seven of which are mentioned in Revelations. Paul’s ministry was blessed by va rious manifestations of divine ap proval, rewarding the faith of those who believed. These occurences led sorcerers and magicians to try to copy him and they sought to work their magical art with the name of Jesus. We have an account of the discomfiture of two such magician*. Under the influence of Paul’s work many of those who practiced these secret arts realized their insuffi ciency and inadequacy and staked a great bonfire of valuable books about The World’s News Seen Through | The Christian Science Monitor I An International Daily Newspaper b Tmthfal Ccaitroctiv Unhiaaed Pm ham SwmHwiiU o btu Editorial* Am Timely and Lmwdiw and Ita Daily Featnrea, Together math the Waakly Section, Malm tba Monitor an Ideal Nevapaper for the Hama.

Serious opposition was fomented by Demetrius, a silversmith, who In flamed the members of his craft against Paul and his teachings, be cause of the decreasing demand for statues of the Goddess Diana, was a case of true religion hurting selfish business. A mob seised two of Paul’s friends and a great uproar resulted, which was only quieted by a city official who reminded the mob that courts were open to it for‘any just grievances and that it would be held responsible for any disturbance of the peace. | CROSS ROADS 1 Mr. and Mrs. C.
