HUGH T. STEVENSON. PAUL IN EPHESUS. (Acts, xix.1-41; Ephesians, iv.1-16.), Golden text: “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.”—Ephesians, 1.10. Ephesus was a strategic center when at the period of his third missionary Jjourney Paul opened up a three-year campaign to win its inhabitants for the Lord Jesus. - Modern travelers stumble among ruins of. one of the most im- portant cities of the world when they visit Ephesus. Upon the'site of the ancient city of culture, commerce ‘and center for the meeting of all nations is a cluster of hovels and a mass of ruins. Although its marvelous and beautiful buildings, shrines and temples, includ- ing one that was the seventh wonder of the world, have crumbled into dust, the influence of Paul's missionary en- deavor and ministerial service in that crucial city, where the East met ‘the West, has abided in its spiritual power. Paul had spent’ore Sabbath in Ephe- sus; and preached in the synagogue. Returning for his work there, Paul found two former friends in Ephesus when he returned to open his campaign for Christ. They reported to-him the fact that 12 disciples of John were there. They: had accepted the teach- ings of the Baptist, but did not know anything about the full Gospel preached by Christ. - These he won for the Lord Jesus, and opened his work in the synagogue for three months. When his countrymen rejected - his message, then the apostle opened an evangelistic campaign the auditorium, or school room, of one Tyrannus, where he con- tinued preaching for about two years. In his létter to the Corinthians Paul spoke of the fact that “a great door and effectual” had been opened for him in Ephesus. The city was a deeply religious center, due to the presence of the Temple of Diana. It has the goal of periodical pilgrimages by the resi- dents of Asia, and was a source of revenue for the city. . The temple was not only a vast storehouse of.art.but it was a haven of security-and safety for criminals. The worship of Diana had attracted the . superstitious elements and workers of magic who filled the city. ‘They ap) to those who had failed to find the pagan worship of “the black doll of the temple” any spiritual help. Paul commenced his work in Ephesus at an hour of reac- tion, for many had turned their faces away from the worship of Diana in disgust as the half.drunken troops of emasculated priests and priestesses went by capering, howling, scouring their backs, in accordance with traditional heathen custom. Here he opened a work that made Ephesus a great Chris- tian center. John, the beloved disciple and apostle, would bring to an end the work of the apostles in connection with his ministry in Ephesus. The seven churches, addressed in Revelation as representative churches, were all in the district of Ephesus. Paul's Successful Ministry. Paul supported himself by working at his trade during the daytime, for he coveted no man’s gold. During the eve- nings he would go from house to house seeking to secure a congregation, and then would instruct them in connec- del Bac, near Tuscon, Arizona. the remaining missions of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California. St. Xavier belongs to the Moorish style and was built of brick and stone in the form of a cross, with the tran- sept forming on each side of the nave, and with a chapel about 20 feet square. There is only one nave, which is divided into six portions marked by as many arches. Above the transept is a cupola extending about 50 feet from the ground. Various frescoes and paintings adorn the walls, most of them products of na- tive are, though a few of them were brought from Spain in the eighteenth century. San Xavier flourished until about 1810, when the cry of “independence” was heard all over Mexico, the country to which this region owed allegiance at the time. Thereafter it suffered sadly i!rom varfous revolutions or from want of aid until Spanish secularization plnf;gl all missions under civil control in 2 Sunday School Lesson tion with the regular meetings of the church which he organized. It met in *| the schoolroom of Tyrannus, whom we presume to have been a member of the church. There everybody had an op- portunity to hear Paul present his Ee-rsuaslve appeals. From the meetings eld in -this famous schoolroom the gospel was carried until we know of at least seven churches being formed as a dir:et result of Paul's ministry in Ephesus. No doubt the truths the apostle preached were heard by men of other nations and continents and by them the seed of the gospel was scat- tered abroad. The evidence of his suc- cess Is seen in the sacrificial bonfire of books and manuscripts owned by peo- ple who gave up the practice of the black arts when they accepted Christ. No sooner had Paul finished his daily toil than his apron was carried to the sick room, where people were healed through their faith in Jesus ‘Christ, whom Paul preached as the Savior of men. The ndkerchiefs with which the apostle wiped his brow during his work were also carried to the sick room to drive out the evil spirits. These spe- cial miracles were wrought in the Mas- ter’s name and for His glory. The use of the apron and handkerchiefs simply testified to the fact that Paul's Lord had healed them. These mirecles were apparantly used to demonstrate the su- periority of Christianity over the false faiths and the use of black arts through which some cures were wrought. The miracles of Paul demonstrate that he possessed more power than any other Bible worthy, for when Elisha sought to raise a dead child by sending his staff to be laid upon it he failed. The ef- forts of Demetrius, the silversmith, against Paul prove the success that his ministry had attained in superstitious Ephesus. When the sales of idols com- menced to fall off and the cause of it was found to be Paul's preaching, an organized opposition of the silversmiths, whos2 pocket nerve had been feeling the effects of his attacks upon idol worship, developed. The failure of the efforts of seven sons of Sceva to heal one of the evil spirit had served to in- crease Paul's popularity and influence, but he was not able to stem the tide of opposition of the silversmiths’ union, who felt the loss of their business and revenue. He could not stop the riot. The town clerk did it, and through his intervention the apostle was released. His Teaching Ministry. ‘When he was forced to leave Ephesus, Paul left behind him a well established but not a perfectly developed church. It takes a long time to develop unity out of individual units. Paul followed the career of the Ephesian church with the heart passion of a true shepherd of souls. He loved all the churches that he had established. In all his episties he set forth his desire for them to have a greater unity, higher character, more trained intelligence “in full knowledge and all the perception to dis- tinguish the essential.” They must con- duct themselves “accurately” and wor- thily of their calling, in love as Christ has loved us, and as children of light. The more closely we study Paul's epistles, the more clearly appears the fact that he is seeking to develop a new world all remade by the power of the gospel of the Lord Jesus. Toward this end he sought to promote unity in the life of the church. He had three pictures of the church—the family, the human body and the temple of God— every one of them implying a new unity in design with a great diversity of func- Sunday School Lesson Acts 19:1-41; Ephesus 4:1-16 I S Jle oF idols w. emetrius called named Demetrivs. aching of Chnst &rs:fl El amob to attack Paul.

It is only as the various members cultivate the spirit of the XMaster and practice love toward one another that we will come to pos- sess the unily that the Lord desires to see among his followers and for which He prayed. The one hope of a new age and the transformation of the world from its bitter racial and religious an- tagonism, which breeds strife and fosters wars, is found in the gospel that Paul preached at Ephesus. He called upon the members of the Ephesian church in the chapter of his epistle to them, as- signed for our study, to walk worthily of their calling as Christians, to preserve Christian unity and to cease living in accordance with the standards of pagan Gentiles. Let us seek to follow the clear- cut way to peace, progress and pros- perity outlined by the apostle. Let us never forget that “we are his work- manship, created in Christ Jesus far en Paul heard oF a he determined pr.!vauled elf to be the city and continued elds of new endeavor. good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.” {Harlowe R.
