But here is a lesson which has nar.r

in that Temple of Diana an expressiou
of what the world needs? 1t wants
God who can provide food. Diana va,
huntress. In pictures on mapy AZ
the stays she held a staff by the horn
with one hand and bundle of arrows
in the other. Oh, this is a hunprv
world. Diana could not givs
one pound of meat. or one mouth. 4
full of food to the millions of her
worshlppers. She was dead divinity
an imaginary God, and so in idolatrow
lands the vast majority of people never
have enough to eat. 1t is onlv in the 4
n fvsSo M hn Eol L n
earth is worshippea that the vast ma
jority have enough to eat Let Diana
have her arrows and her hounds: our
God has the sunshine. and the shower,
and the harvests. and in proportion as
he is worshipped does plenty relgn
So also in the Temple of Diana the
world expressed its need of refuge
10 it from all parts of the land came
debtors who could not pay their debts
and the offenders of the law that they
might escape incarceration But she
sheltered them only a little while. and
while she kept them from arrest she
could not change their hearts anu the
guilty remained guilty. But our God
in Jesus Christ is refuge into which
we may fly from all our sins ana all
our pursuers, and not only be safe for 4
time but safe Tor eternity. and the
guilt Is pardoned and the nature is
transformed. What Diana could not
co for her worshipers, our Christ ac
complishes for us.
Rock OF ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee.
Then, in that temple were deposited
treasurers' from all the earth for safe \
keeping. Chrysostom says it was the
treasurcr.house of nations: they
brought gold and silver and precious
stones ana coronets from across the /
sea, aud put them under that care OF
Diana of the Ephesians. But agaln
and again were those treasures ran
sacked, captured or destroyed. Nero
robbed them, the Scythians scattered 1
them, the Goths burned them. Diana
tciled those who trusted her with I
treasures, but our God, to him we NAV
cntrust all our treasures for this word /
and the next, and fail any one who
puts confidence in HIM he never Will /
After the last jasper column las fallen
and the last temple on earth has gone
into ruins and the world itself has SUI +
fered demolition, the Lord will Keep
for us our best treasures. ~,
AS our train pulled out from tne
station at Ephesus, the cars surronaea
by the worst looking group Q,
Williams I ever gazed on, all Of
them seeming in a wrangle with eaeA
other and trying to get into
wrangle with us, and we moved along
the columns of ancient aqueduets eacn
column crowned with storks. having
built their nests there. and we rol,e.
on down towards Smyrna, and thas
night in Sailors Bethel, we spoke -
the Christ whom the world must KNOW
or perish, we felt that between e,au's
and grave there could not be anyth'ns
much more enthralling for no'.,
mind, and soul. than our WISH "
Ephesus.
