“Only don’t mention it to Alix, because
I promised it would go earlier!” she
added.

her. They went to it together, and
he was within five feet of her while
she scribbled her note.
“Martin met me. Nothing wrong.

was standing in the doorway of the
little office, smoking. Quickly she ad
dressed the envelope. “Don’t read
that name out loud,” she said, softly
but very slowly and distinctly, to the
girl at the desk. She put a gold piece
down on the note. “Keep the change,
and for God’s sake get that to the

The girl looked up in surprise; but
rose immediately to the occasion.

and voice-, were enough to awaken her
I. John’s Disciples Become Chris,
tians (vv. 1-7).
These twelve disciples had only
been taught the baptism of repent
ance as a preparation for the kingdom
of God. Paul taught them to believe
In Christ, that is, to receive Him as
the One who had on the cross pro
vided redemption for them.
II. Paul Preaching in Ephesus
(vv. 8-10).
1. In the Jewish synagogue (v. 8).
His message is characterized by: (1)
boldness. He realized that Ged had
sent Him and that His authority was
back of Him. (2) Reason. He rea
soned with them. God’s message Is
never sentimental nor arbitrary, but
In accord with the highest reason. (3)
Persuasion. It is not enough to come
boldly with a reasonable message; it
must be accompanied by persuasion.
(4) Concerning the kingdom of God.
He did not discourse on current
events, literature, or philosophy, but
upon the message of salvation through
Christ.

the same, to her childish egotism; the
rest how different! The rest would
have been light instead of darkness,
joy instead of pain, dignity and de

the words, sounding softly through the
silence of the garden, died away on
the warm night air like music.

3. Gave up the practice of black

one can have fellowship with God and

burning their books. Though this
was an expensive thing—valued at
about $12,500—they did not try to sell
the books and get their money back.

4. Uproar of the Silversmiths at
Ephesus (vv. 23-41). (1) The occa
sion (vv. 23, 24). This was the pow
er of the gospel in destroying the
infamous business of Demetrius and
his fellows. It was clear to them that
idolatry was tottering before the pow
er of the gospel. They were not in
terested particularly in the matter
from a religious standpoint, but be
cause it was undermining the princi
pal business of the city. (2) The
method (vv. 25-29). Demetrius, a
leading business man, whose business
was the stay of others of a similar
nature," called a meeting and stated
that much people had turned from
idolatry and that the market for their
wares was materially weakening. He
appealed to his fellows (a) on the
ground of business, saying “This, our
craft, is in danger of being set at
naught,” (v. 27). (b) On the ground
of religious prejudice. He said “The
temple of the great goddess Diana
should be despised” (v. 27). He be
came quite religious when he saw that
his business was being interfered
with. His speech gained his end; the
whole crowd was enraged and yelled
in unison, “Great is Diana of the
Ephesians.” The mob was quieted by
the tact and good judgment of the
town clerk.
