' LESSON FOR AUGUST 20
RIOT AT EPHESU8.
bbwun 1%AI?ACIB
GOLDEN TEXT?Th? love of money le
the root of all klnda of evil.?I Tim ?:10.
Teachers ought to hare good maps
and keep before the minds of their
classes both the ancferit and modern
names of the places Paul visited. Vaul
resided at Ephesus nearly three years.
1L D. S3*to 56. The events of this les
son occurred about three years after
our Inst lesson In Acta.
i I. The Missionary Work of Paul
(w. 1-10). How long Paul remained at
Antlooh after bis second Journey we
do not know, but having passed
through the "upper coast" he came to
this city of Ephesus, which wgs an
Important otty and a great mission
fleld. In Revelations 2 and 3 Is a list
of thn churches which he evangelised
from this center. It was a great mud
effectual door for him (I Cor. 6:9;
read also Acts 20:17; 2:35). In this
city Pldl found a religious guild of 12
members (see vv. 2-7), whose relig
ious experience needed the enrichment
of the Holy Spirit; a like need Is ever
before the Christian church.
II. Ths Miracles Wrought by Paul
(w. 11-20), Ephesus was a center of
magic and witchcraft and special i
power was given Paul to work mira
cles which confounded the magicians
In-this, their stronghold. The Oospel
proves Its power most and best by
transforming the characters of men.
Deeds of love and service are the best
proofs of Christianity, and these are
the things which awaken heathen.na
tions to seek after the Christian relig
ion. But such deeds are often 1ml- I
tated as In this case. (See v. 13.) |.
However, only the real spirit of Christ i L
can work the true workings of the j t
Gospel, and thus the name of the Lord , /
Jesus was magnified In Ephesus. Iml- L
tatlon bi often the slncerest form of ! L
flattery. L
III. Th? Mob'* Attack Upon Paul'* L
Work (w. 21-41). The first result of fl
Paul's work ? was the burning of the
books of magic (vt. 18-20). Many who
bad been dnpe* of the mngldans
ceased their secret practice* and de- v
clared their wrongdoings In this pub
lic manner. Literally, book after book
was thrown Into the fire, much the
same as In Florence Savonarola had
bis "bonfire of vanities." Paul's won
derful success had to have Its testing /
before he left. The Gospel "way," the ,
way of salvation, of true living. Is (
sure to create a stir sooner or later. t
Preach the Gospel faithfully and fully,
and It will stir up any community. It f
Is not necessarily a bad sign when a
things begin to be disturbed. It may (|
simply Indicate that the fire Is get- (|
tlug hot. The good results of rsvlv- f
als do not hurt business, but they do
hurt the devil. So that "big business"
was Intensely stirred up In the city
of Ephesus. Demetrius, their leader,
uttered a striking and truthful com- '
mendation of Pan! (v. 26). although
It was entirely unintentional. (See
I These. 1:9-10). Demetrius does not T
swin to seek to controvert the preach- "
Ing of Paul, or that It did not square
with the word of God. but rather that
It would Interfere with financial con
siderations. The modern world is full n
of descendants of the Epheslan silver- S
smiths,?politicians and business In- 1
tereets which, defend the saloon, and ; n
fairly respectable citizens who receive
rents from such business, or from Im
moral or unsanitary properties, and
who cry out against any reform which
Interferes with trade and money mak
Ing. There are many today who are ](
very enthusiastic religionists If they j g
can coin money out of It or get Into p
an office. His statement about all
Asia and the world worshipping Diana
wns not true, nor did he care the
least about Diana. I(
Some were enraged because they e
saw their business going to pieces; g
sotpe because they saw their religion g
going upon the rocks; and there was n
a considerable number who desired to
re-establish business and religion at
the same time. Therefore the united
cry. "Great Is Diana of the Ephe
slans." f<
At this theater meeting (Paul waf *
not present, vv. 29. 31) Demetrius ap- I1
pealed (1) to wealth, (2) to religion, '
(3) to the honor and fame of the city, ?
and (4) he also made an esthetic ap
peal, (vv. 25, 26, 27). Tfte Jews 1?t
forward one of their number, Alexnn- R
der, to make a defense unto the peo- A
pie, and to show that they were not R
In sympathy with Paul and his com
panions In their preaching against the T
worship of Diana or that as Jewish
Christians they did not maliciously N
hope to destroy the worship of Diana
and the business Interests of that dty.
Their effort, however, only stirred the
mob to a larger shout, "Great Is Diana
of the Epheslans." which lasted for
two hour?. A
i nose . wno yen ine louueat minx
they are sure to prove their point,
though In such a way the point does
not Way proved. Paul combine* fear
leaa courage and humble common i
sense, and. while he fain would ap- ?
peal to the mob (v. 30). he refrained, t
rbe mob must *oon awaken to the o
manliness and iplrlt of Paul'* aoul. I
It waa the town clerk who Interfered ?
(v. 85-41) and by skillful management 1
luelled the excited mob. He waa the
temple keeper and ahowed that the
worship of Diana waa so settled In
Kpheaus that no company of Jews
eould overthrow It, and that they did C
not have any real cause for violence. t
He also emphaslte* the fact that t
the Image of Diana, their chief god. o
bad been mlracnlensly sent to them 1
by Jupiter. He called attention to the k
Fact that Panl had not committed the t
wrong of Which be waa charged. Panl k
waa not a robber of eharches. He had ?
preached simply the gospel of Jeans f
Christ, and his converts had not '
shurohemed the goddam. 4
