Paul’s Experiences Is a Chapter Out of Life

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 25. Paul in Ephesus—Acts 19:23-34. By Wm. E. Gilroy, D.D., Editor of The CongregationaHst. EAUL’S experiences in Ephesus might be taken as a chapter out of life in almost any age. Self-interest and the highest religion are at opposite poles. But unfortunately eels-interest has often availed itself of the professed sanctities of religion to defend and attain its own selfish aims. Paul’s preaching concerning a God who could not be worshiped in the image of an idol “graven by art and man’s device” soon influenced idolatrous worship in this cultured, pagan city. When idolatrous worship lessened, naturally there was a smaller demand for idols, and in this way industry and trade were affected. So there arose that age-long conflict between self-interest and higher ideals. Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines for Diana, was evidently a leader among the craftsmen to whom he brought large profits. Seeing that these profits were con cerned, he called together the craftsmen and pointed out to them very plainly the effect that-Paul’s preaching was having upon "business.” The real point for Demetrius and hia fellows was that their craft was, as he expressed it, “in danger to be set at nought.” This was what really concerned them, but the Ephesians probably would not have been very vitally inteiested in the mere matter of the gain or losses of Demetrius and his fellows; so that they saw the need of a rather different appeal. Hence, though concerned about their own gains, they raised a great hue and cry about the worship of Diana. In this way they stirred up tumult in the city, and an agitation against Paul and his companions. Gaius and Aristarchus, two of these companions, they caught, and rushed with them into the theater. Paul had no intention of deserting his companions. He was anxious to go in among the crowd, but the Christian disciples would not allow him to do so. The excitement grew to such an extent that the whole city was in an uproar. For two whole hours, we arc told, the mob cried incessantly “Great Is Diana of the Ephesians.' It looked as if the clamor migh have very serious results, buEphesus fortunately had a city clei: with much ballast and good judg ment. He saw the absurdity of be

MANY NOTEB MEN TO SPEAK IN CHURCHES Dramatic Club to Present Three - Act Comedy Twice Sunday. St. Catherine’s Dramatic Club will present a three-act comedy in their hall, Shelby and Tabor Sts., Sunday at 2:15 p. m. and 8:15 p. m., entitled “Never Touched Me.” The story of the play is as follows: Edward Vanderberg, the wealthy, indolent son of a wealthy. Indulgent father, imagined he was born to be a Napoleon of finance. His ambition in life was to startle Wall Street. He realized his ambition one pleasant summer afternoon by strolling into the stock exchange and endeavoring to corner wheat. He dropped 12,000,000 with a thud and startled not only Wall Street, but several adjacent thoroughfares. When the play opens Vanderberg is penniless, in debt and in danger of arrest on a technical charge. In addition ot this he finds that the father of the girl he loves has been involved in the disastrous stock speculation and has lost his entire

coming so greatly excited over a religion which, if it was as good as it ought to be, should be able to defend Itself. This indecent uproar did not appeal to him as an evidence of faith in Diana, but rather as an indication of a lack of vital faith. He saw also that the city was liable to be called to account for this uproar by the Roman authorities, and it is to the credit both of his insight and courage that he defended Paul and his companions from charges of blasphemy. “These men,” he said, ‘‘are neither robbers of churches nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.” Surely this is a lesson that is full of profound meaning for the life of today. Much of the foolish clamor over religion is little removed from this anxiety of the Ephesians. Those whose chief interest is in truth, love and righteousness surely can afford to be large-minded and magnanimous. Truth is never helped by narrow and violent tactics. Also there is a profound challenge to every man to see that his religion lies above the

fortune. Napoleon has met his Waterloo! Just about this time Bill the Butch, a hard working burglar, breaks into tho action of the play. In ten words he offers a solution of the whole affair. He tells Vanderberg that the thing to do is—but you will have to hear Bill explain to appreciate the j wonderful simplicity of the scheme. There is a fresh set of complications in the second act. Vanderberg finds that ha has jumped out of the frying-pan into the soup. The outlook grows darker and darker. Near the end of the act ho is about to be arrested and taken to jail. Apparently nothing can save him. There is a policeman at every door, and a hurry-up wagon in the street below. A detective is in the act of putting handcuffs on Vanderberg when Joyce Barrett, the girl In the case, runs to the center of the stage and—but you must see it all happen to enjoy fully the novelty of the situation. Os course, all comes out right in the last act. Vanderberg proves that he is not guilty as charged, makes a couple of million dollars, marries the girl, and everything. That is to be expected. But it all happens in such an unexpected way. • * • BARTH PLACE CHURCH TO HAVE RALLY DAY Plans have been completed for one of the largest Rally Days ever held in any Sunday school, in this city at Barth Place M.

range of personal gain and self-in-terest. Every now and again a man comes to a point where allegiance to his faith and to his ideals may mean personal loss. How does the Christian meet that problem? In the spirit of Paul or in the spirit of Demetrius? Here in these two men we find the real contrast between the godly life and the godly way, and the worldly life and the worldly way.
