Old Asia’s Foremost City Set Agog By Evangelist — Great Excitement In Ancient Ephesus When Apostle Paul Proclaimed New Life — A Costly Bonfire Os Repentance.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS ,* 1 Dry rot, of stagnation and con-|' i ventionality and professionalism, 1 threatens the most vital instltu- 1 tion on earth, the Christian Church. * Much church membership and at- * tendance is an nnvital routine. Thousands of preachers are merely holding down jobs. In many com- 1 niunities the presence of a church < makes little difference in the life < of the people 1 Yet the Gospel was meant to be i sensational. Jesus was the sensa- I tion of His day. His apostles created sensations wherever they went. 1 The great Christian leaders of his- ’ tory--Bavonarola, Luther, Wesley, 1 Whitefield. Moody—were men who 1 s-Xtheir times agog. As an instance, the Sunday 1 1 Schools are studying this week the 1 experience of Paul in Ephesus. So restrained is the Scripture's Style of writing that the full sensationalism of the story does not appear) :at first reading. Closer examination reveals that a Billy Sunday campaign wa a small thing as compared with the great apostle's impact upon mighty Ephesus. Storming A Citadel First of all, it is to be recalled that Ephesus was the chief city of Asia, a great mart of culture, commerce and religion. Those of us who have repeatedly traversed its magnificent ruins have sensed the richness and greatness of this ancient capital. I know no ruined city that is so sumptuously strewn with carved marble as Ephesus, unless it be Baalbeek. Central to Ephesus’ many attractions was the Temple of Diana, one of the seven wonders of the world, a shrine of pilgrimage from everywhere. This made the city a citadel of paganism. Orators boasted that the position of Diana (a suc-j eessor of Asia’s ancient Mother Goddess) was impregnable, "whom all Asia and the world worshippeth” Nevertheless, the little Jewish weaver from Tarsus, a man of poor appearance and calloused hands, went up against this citadel unaffrighted. He spent more than two years in the siege. His forces i consisted of a small band of Chris- ♦ * * * » ♦ ‘The Sunday School Lesson for November 8 is “The Christian Life As A Warfare.’’— Acts 19: Eph. 6:10-21. I Hl,

tian believers, and a dauntless faith in the Gospel of Christ. His meth-', od was living and preaching. No ( battering rams of Caesar’s army , were ever so powerful as the spok- , en words of this all-afire evangel- , Ist. | Creating A Sensation I When the synagogues were no i longer open to him. Paul preached , dally Tn the lecture hall ot Tyrannus. No perfunctory, dead-and-al’ve , meetings were these. Luke does not go into details. We rather wish he had described the crowds that thronged the hall ot Tyrannus; the provision made for overflow meetings; the nature of the proceedings and the testimonies of some of the converts. How were i the evangelistic bands and prayer meetings constituted, that carried the mesage into outlying regions? , Pau! had no newspaper or radio publicity—but how he would have used it! | This we do know: “that all they which dwelt in Asia” (the modern Asia Minor) “heard the words of the Lord Jesus both the Jews and the Greeks.” Miracles attended the i apostle and the work. Ephesus and i Asia were stirred to their depths. Converts showed their contrition by deeds of repentance and restitution. All sorts of persons were made over into newness of life. Even the professional soothsayers and clairoyants and magicians got re-1 ligion. This last class brought together their books of magis and their conjuring apparatus, and made a huge bonfire of them in the public square, thus offering np to God, as a token of repentance, possessions worth fifty thousand pieces of sil-l ver. When reel Christianity gets] hold of a man he makes a clean, break with the ways of the old .life, and pays the price, whatever| it may be. of restitution and conversion. The greatest sensation that could happen in the entire : world today—as it is, thank God, happening in many communities—would be for men to accept wholeheartedly the Gospel and regulate all their relations and activities by it. Are Christians Soldiers? Pacifists lament the large space that the Bible gives to war. They are grieved that so often in the New Testament the Christian life is presented in the figure of a warfare. Part of today’s Lesson is Paul’s famous description ot "the whole armor of God.” which every disIciple ot Jesus is instructed to

Well, after an extensive period , I of service as a war correspondent, [ I and hating war as few pacifists | know how to hate it, 1 am nevertheless convinced that some form) of fighting must always constitute: 'ia part of life. Even heaven has its ■armies, the "Sabaoth.” So long as ( I evil coexists alongside of good, < J there must be conflict Perfect ] peace may be expected only when ; the Prince of Peace has complete ‘

reign over all human hearts. ( So closely wrought and signifi- ( cant in this passage in Paul's Let- ( ter to the Ephesians—the Christians who dwelt where he himself ( had wared so valiantly for God— ( written from a prison in Rome— , that instead of commenting upon ( its details, 1 quote it in full for i careful reading and re-reading:—!. I 1 "Wherefore take up the whole , armor of God, that ye may be able ( to withstand in the evil day, and.l having done all, to stand. Stand . therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with prepar-1 atlon of the gospel of peace; with-; al tiffKng up the shield of faith, | wherewith ye shall be able to i quench all the fiery darts of the | evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 1 with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all preservanee and supplication for all the saints, and on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make kno-wn with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it 1 may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." ! Whosoever would be a good sol- | dier in hie own times, for truth, for righteousness, for good will, for peace and for God, needs the full equipment prescribed by that great and glorious warrior, Paul of Tarsus, | SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS , Life develops from within.—Mrs. Browning.
