THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1931. Sunday School Lesson Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. PAUL IN EPHESUS. Acts, xix:1-41; Ephesians, v:5-11. Golden Text.—'‘Have no fellow- ship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.”—Ephesians, v:11. Armistice Sunday recalls the sacri- fices, sufferings and sorrow of the World War, that was fought to end all wars. ‘When we remember how that event was welcomed as the dawn of peace among the natlons, we are surprised to learn that “despite their pledge to renounce war, nations are not adequately prepar- ing for peace. They are spending $5,000,- 000,000 & year on armaments. They have enrolled for military purposes no fewer than 25,000,000 soldiers and reserves. If this great force of men, money and materials was turned into the channels of commerce, culture and community welfare, the world would quickly be freed from its burden of disappointment, depression and despair. ‘When Paul, in accordance with his promise, returned to Ephesus during his third missionary journey, from a human standpoint he faced greater difficulties than those who are seeking by prayer, at this moment, to make the coming Dis- armament Conference a success. Ephe- - | sus was one of the most strategic cen- ters in the world, where the commerce of the East and West met. It was not only the political and commercial center of Asia, but it was a center of art and literature. It contained one of the seven wonders of the world in the wonderful temple erected in honor of Artemis of Diana. Although this pagan worship had through this marvelous temple domi- nated the city, its influence for threehun- dred years had failed to satisfy men's desire for light in reference to the fu- ture. “Home and family life were al- most unknown; chastity was mentioned with & sneer, and justice was an empty word; benevolence was not in the vo- cabulary,” so that it was rapidly sinking into the lowest forms of sensuality and | vice. The great treasure of the temple was the image of Artemis, which in all| probability was a meteorite that had fallen from the heavens. “As a museum of art, its chief treasure was Apelles painting of Alexander, which was valued at twenty talents of gold, or about two hundred thousand dollars. As a bank, it contained immense quantities precious stones and of money. Its prin- cipal industry was the manufacture of et S herias o the temple bought ess. e them and carried them back home as mementos of their visit. Paul's Battles Successful. Paul had two helpers, Priscilla and Aquila, who had labored with him in Corinth. During the apostle's absence they had won Apollos for Christ and trained him in a knowledge of the Word, so that he went forth as a messenger | jost, of the Risen Lord. During his three years' ministry in Ephesus these two were faithful and loyal co-workers with Paul in his work. He preached for three months in thelr synagogue, reasoning with the large number of Jews in the city concerning the Kingdom of God. When they commenced to speak evil of the Way, which was the name they used in reference to the Gospel, Paul quit the synt in the school of Tyrannus. s able to teach daily, “from eleven to four,” hours free for house to house. on a successful evangelistic work during this time, for the seven churches men- tioned in Revelations were all located in the section near Ephesus, where Paul carried on a successful m He . had no and . Superstition was strong in Ephesus, and the evidence of | to make cures were exposed by the By the devil hiding himself in the mean- ness and antagonism of men to the truth was met here by the sick and those possessed of demons being cured | by the carrying of the headpiece and apron, that the apostle used in his work as a tentmaker, to the afflicted ones, who were healed by touching these gar- ments of the apostle. Strolling exorcists, who tried to use the name of “Jesus, whom Paul preached,” in their efforts demons themselves in such a manner | that the apostle’s prestige was increased among the people. The attack of the demons upon the | sons of Sceva resulted in “widespread terror. and they began to hold the name of the Lord Jesus in high honor.” A revival broke out, which Tesulted in a continuous coming out from the world of men and women who had accepted Christ as their Savior. They burned the books of magic upon which they had counted for help, just as convertzd pagans today burn up their idols. ™ney destroyed in the flames these bo’ks of sorcery, magic and fortune tellig, val- ued at ‘about $9,375, according w0 Mead, at one time. Perils of Success. Paul's success resulted in arousing the opposition of the vested interests, who depended upon funds received through the sale of the small shrines for their income. Demetricus, a silversmith, started a riot by adroitly pointing ont that the apostle’s gospel was resulting in people treating the temple of the goddess Diana with contempt. When | multitudes thronged into the city he succeeded in starting a riot by pleading with the people in connection with a great feast because they believed that there was really a danger that the wor- ship of Diana would be deposed as a result of Paul's preaching and teaching. It was not Demetricus’ love of Diana so much as it was his excessive love of money that started the riot and mob. Much of the evil in the world exists to- day because some persons are making money out of that form of iniquity. It required the appeal to reason, made by the public official called the town clerk, to quiet the mob. His “candid argument and judicious tact” revealed a sympathy for Paul. He told them that they were ghoufln? themselves hoarse in the face of the fact that the Chris- tian leaders had not performed any il- 1 acts. If any one had suffered he pointed out that it was Demetricus, who should have taken his case to the courts, then in session. He put Demetricus in a serious situation. Tactfully he suggest- ed to the mob that if they were aroused y any grievance that it should be brought before a legal assembly that had authority to act. The mob was not only not legal, but their uproar had flmd their liberty, conferred by Rome, serious danger of being taken from them. This resulted in his being able to dismiss the mob. Demetricus had . ‘The city rulers had helped to thor- oughl establish Christianity in Ephesus, with the result that 50 years later Pliny, writing to Trajan, said “that the gold- smith’s fires have died out, dust lles thick upon the altars of Diana and the Christ of Paul has triumphed.” Just as through the appeal to reason the riotous attitude of the people, who had been aroused by the attack of vest- ed interests upon the ministry of Paul, was quieted and peace restored, so the nations of the earth through arbitration and the cultivation of the spirit of brotherhood based upon love for the Lord Jesus and His kingdom can de- stroy the desire for war and substitute the spirit of peace with prosperity and progress. Unless we succeed in eradi- cat the nations of the earth the vi that “might makes right,” and substitute justice, equality and frater- lo we mus e life of purity that Paul A tpon followers of the Lord in Ephesus to pos- sess, Let us “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.” TABLEAU TO FEATURE CHURCH PROGRAM “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” to Be Presented Prior to Petworth M.

The night is dark and I am far from home, Lead thou me on.” So, in 1833, John Henry Newman. later to be English cardinal, penned the immortal lines of one of the most | loved and most familiar of our hymns. It was =2 series of circumstances which brought . about the writing of this hymn. The son of an English banker, . Newman was educated at Trinity and in 1822 elected to a fellow- ship in Oriel. After varied experiences he was appointed vicar of St. Mary's | at Oxford; and his estrangement from | the evangelical school dates from this | time. Resigning his tutorship in Oriel, he went to the south of France with Hurrell Froude. In Sicily Newman was stricken with | fever. For a time his life was de- spaired, and he calmly set about mak- ing peace with his fellow men and preparing himself for the inevitable. In a boat off Palermo, sick with fever, heartsick and sorely tried of mind, Newman selzed upon an inspiration and wrote the first famous line: “Lead, kindly light, amid the en- circling gloom.” The poem was finished at & sitting and when he returned it, it first ap- peared in a collection of similar verses by him. Soon after it was set to music and found its place in the hymnal, where it remains as one of the great- est_favorites of all time. Back in England Newman appear at St. Mary's, but was convinced that his duty lay in bringing back the Cath- olic spirit in the Angelican church. Eager for a reconcilliation between the Roman and Angelican churches, he wrote a series of tracts and retired to Littlemore, where he established a small religious community. In 1843 Newman resigned from St. Mary’s. In 1845 he was received into the Roman Catholic church. For a long | time he was at Edgaston, near Bir- mingham, and in 1854 was director of the new Catholic University in Dublin. Leo XIII made John Henry Newman & cardinal in 1879. He died in 1890.

And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” (Genesis, 1.31.) The lesson-sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science text book, “Science and Health | With Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Edd. “There went up a mist from the earth’ This represents error as starting from an idea of good on 3 material basis. It supposes God and man to be manifested only through the corporal senses, although the material senses can take no cognizance of spirit or the spiritual idea.” (Page 546.)

HELP the Individual attendant to worship God is the real object of every church service. toward God, it does not achi Unless the sermon turns the thought leve its purpose. Except the various rts of the order of worship give voice to that which is in the eart of the people in the pew, they are not worship at all. If the pastoral prayer does not make vocal the needs and aspirations of the con- gregation, it is only the minister’s individual prayer. Music in a church service must be judged by precisely the same standard. No music, be it organ number or anthem, is religious or non- religious per se. Its only use is to create an atmosphere in which worship 1s more natural and free. If it opens up those avenues which lead a soul to communion with God, it is religious music. If it does not, no words, Biblical 1t is at this point where lies or otherwise, will make it so. the value of a concert sych as has been given by the Westminster Choir this week under the a es of the Fed- eration of Churches. Our musicians, ministers and others who plan our orders of service were given opportunity to study the worship values of varying types of music, a subject worthy of our be st thought. Our choirs cannot all be Westminsters, nor can any one style of music be fitted to all types of people. Nevertheless, to be able to sit at the feet of & group who have made such a profound study of music in its relation to worshij ip and see the effect on ourselves and those about us of the churchly program rendered by them gives us a new gauge by which to mmuuy tg: results of what we are trying to do in our own churches, ed | supper.
