seen Of the Temple Of Diana. Ii
In this city tho mother Of Jesus was /
said to have been buried. Here dwelt |
Aquilla and Priscilla Of Bible mention,
who were professors in an extemporized
theological seminary, and they taught /
the eloquent Apollos how to be elo- /
qucnt for Christ Here John preached,
and from here because OF his fidelity he {
was exiled TO Patmos Here Paul
warred against the magical arts for
which Ephesus was famous. The sor-
cerers Of this city pretended that they
could cure diseases, and perform almost
any miracle, by pronouncing these
senseless words; Ask Cataski
Lix Tetrax Damnameneus Aision."
Paul having performed miracle
in the name Of Jesus, there was lying
family Of seven brothers who initiated
the Apostle, and instead Of their usual
words Of incantation, used the word
Jesus over man who was possessed OF
devil, and the man possessed flew at
them in great ferceness and nearly
tore these frauds to pieces, and In con-
sequence all up and down the streets OF
Ephesus there was Indignation excited
against the magical arts, and a great
bonfire Of magical books was kindled in
the streets and the people stirred the
blaze until thirty-fve thousand dollars
worth Of black art literature had burned |
to ashes.
But all the glory of Ephesus / have
described has gone now AT some sea-
sons of the year awful malarias sweep
over the place and put upon mattrass
or In graves large portion Of the pop
| ulation. In the approximate marshes
scorpions, centipedes and oil forms OF
| reptilian life crawl and hiss and sting,
| in and out Of the ruins of buildings
/ which once startled the nations with
their almost supernatural grandeur.
But here is lesson which has never
yet been drawn out Do you not see in
that Temple of Diana an expression OF
what the world needs? 1t wants a
i God who can provide food. Diana
was a huntress. In pictures on many
of the coins she held a stag by
the horn with one hand and bundle

hungry worid! DIANA couia nos give

She was a divinity, an imaginary God,
and SO in idolatrous lands the vast ma
jority Of people never have enough to
eat 1t is only in the countries where
the God Of Heaven and earth is wor-
shipped that the vast majority have
enough TO eat Let Diana have her ar
: rows and her hounds; our God has the
sunshine and the showers and the har-
: vests, and In proportion as He is wor-
shipped does plenty reign
So also in the Temple OF Diana the
world expressed It's need OF refuge
. To II from 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
0 sheltered them only little while, ant
while she kept them from arrest sh'
: could not change their hearts and th'
4 guilty remained guilty. But our Coz
4 in Jesus Christ is refuge into whicl
+ we may fly from all our sins and all ou
! pursuers, and not only be safe for time
Y but safe for eternity, and tine guiit
y pardoned and the nature Is transformers
