resided at KphcMis Hourly throe ours,
A. U. ."it to ."0. Tin events of tlilx les
Mm occurred aliout three oars nftvr
our lust lcMiji iu Acts.
I. The Missionary Work of Paul
(vv. 1-10). I low loan Paul remained at
Atitlooh aft or1 his second Journey wo
ilo not know, hut having passed
through tin "upper coast" he eaniu to
thN city of i:phi'us, which' was an
Important city ami a groat mission
Held. In Kovolutlons 2 ami .'! Is a IK
of the churches which le evangel I oil
from this center. It was a groat ami
effectual door for lilm (I Cor. 0:1):
read also Acts '.20:17; 2 :.'?."). Iu this
city Paul found a religious guild of 12
members (see vv. 2-7), whose relig
ious experience needed the enrichment
of the Holy Spirit; a like need Is ever
nolo re the Christian church.
II. The Miracles Wrouoht by Paul
(vv. ll-'-'O). lIphoMis was a center or
magic nml witchcraft, and special
power was given Paul to work mira
cles which confounded the magicians
til this, their stronghold. The liuspcl
proves Its power most ami host hy
transforming the characters of men.
Heeds of loe anil service are the host
proofs of Christianity, and these are
tlje things which awaken heathen na
tions to sick after the Christian relig
ion. 'But such deeds are often 1ml
titled as In this case. (See v. l.'l.)
However, only the real spirit of Christ
can work the Irue workings of the
n!ospel,.and thus thejiume of the Lord
.TJ'fiis vrits niagnllled In Kphous. Imi
tation Is often the slncorest form of
lluttery.
III. The Mob's Attack Upon Paul's
Work (vv. 21-11). The first lesult of
Paul's work was the burning of the
books of magic (vv. 1S-20). Many who
laid been dupes of the magicians
ceased their secret practices and de
clared their wrongdoings In this pub
lic manner. Literally, book after book
was thrown Into the tire, much the
.same as In I'lorence Savonarola had
his "bonfire of vanities." Paul's won
derful success had t have Its testing
before he left. The Gospel "way." the
way of salvation, of true living, Is
sure, to create a stir .sooner or later.
Preach the Gospel faithfully and fully,
and it wltl-tlr up any community. It.
Is not necessarily a bad sign when
things begin to be disturbed. It may
simply Indicate that the lire Is get
ting hot. The good results of reviv
als do not hurt business but they do
hurt the devil. So that "big business"
was intensely stirred up In the city
of Kphesus. Demetrius, their leader,
uttered a striking and truthful com
mendation of Paul (v. 20), although
It was, entirely unlnjtijJitUinal,

rents from such business, or from Im
moral or unsanitary properties, and
whb cry out against any reform which
Interferes with trade and money mak
ing. There are many today who are
very enthusiastic religionists If they
can coin money out of It or get Into
nri'olllcc.
vAt this theater meeting (Paul was
not present, vv. 2!), ."1) Demetrius np
fiealed (1) to wealth, (2) to religion,
(flj to the honor and fame of the city,
and (1) he also made an esthetic tip
in;nl, (vv. 2,", 20, 27). The Jews put
forward one of their number, Alesan
ler, to make a defense unto the peo
ple, and to show that they were not
In, sympathy with Paul and his com
panions In their prenchlng against the
worship of Diana or that as Jewish
Christians they did not maliciously
hope to destroy the worship of Diana
and the business Interests of that city.
Their effort, however, only stirred the
', mob to a larger shout, "Great Is Diana
-( of the Epheslans," which lasted for
two hours.

The altraotlxe Mrs. Wldnor Is tired of
It. Tlie couple agreed to separate for
a polled of from throe to s months,
due, It Is sold, to the husband's Jea
Ioiisj of attention from his wife's dune
lug muster, and In r suspicion of a
woman who called up her husband fre
quently on the telephone, lie was to
go to Chicago ami stay tboie unless
she sent for him. This, mis MrH. Wld
nor, Is the way It worked out.
"He wanted to come back at the end
jf two weeks, and by that time I'd
.nude up my mind that there wasn't
;olng to be any permanent separation
n the wldnor family, nut l was iieier
itlned to stick out tlie three months, at
least. They are now up.

"It certainly wasn't that way with
me. 1 never was mi tied down In my
life, even before it leaked out that our
separation wis premeditated.
"Lots of places I wanted to go I
couldn't, hcc.iiiso I didn't have anybody
to take me. You can't always get even
your most agreeable men friends, you
know, every time you happen to want
them.
"I thought this part of It would bo
different after tbe tlrst couple of
weeks,-but It got worse Instead of bet

"Then there are lots of other llttlo

Many are not aware of the
ill effects of coffee drinking
until a bilious attack, frequent
headaches, nervousness, or
.some other ailment starts
them thinking.
Ten days off coffee and on

show anyone, by the better
health that follows, how coffee
