some in Ephesus (Acts 49, who did
not believe in "the way" The way
which Paul preached was repent
ance toward God and faith in our
Lord Jesus Christ" 1t was the sim
pie gospel OF the grace Of God. His
purpose was to bring men into right
relation with God through Christ, that
they might thus be brought into right
relations with each other. Some re
ligious people in the synagogue
spoke evil Of "the way" they did not
believe In this simple gospel method.
They might have suggested a course
Of lectures in which the gospel was
not to be prominent. Taking the peo-
pie by guile was to them the wisest
method. Paul, however, insisted on
tho way" and persisted along that
line.
Bad Business.
In Ephesus was the great temple of
Diana, and there were some who
made their living by manufacturing
and selling images Of this popular
goddess. The success of Paul's
preaching turned away many from
purchasing these wares. The result
was a commotion among the crafts
men. Demetrius, president of the As
sociation Of Idol Makers, called
meeting and protested that this cru
SADIE against their business should
stop, and he made appeal to the honor
of Diana
In our cities to-day there are many
lines of business which would be over
thrown by the success OF the gospel.
A temple OF Diana In America 10 the
liquor traffic. The goddess of this
country, you know, IL liberty, and
those who make their money out of
this trafic plead for the honor OF
their goddess. They claim that they
shouIa have the liberty to destroy
their neighbors. The cry OF the crafts
men and their sympathizsrs is Great
is the goddess Of liberty which allows
men to debauch their fellows" An
other temple of Diana IL the thcater.
The stage m IN institution is corrupt
and earrupting,
The Secret of Victory.
Now the important question is, how
can we prevail against these evils?
The answer is in Acts 1920, so
nightly grew the Word of God and
prevailed" Where the Word OF God
is preached in the power of the Spirit
1t cannot fail to conquer But under
what conditions win 1t prevail? We
have but to study the context in this
chapter in order that We may learn.
The little church 1t Ephesus had
not so much as heard OF the Holy
Spirit. These men were saved, but
they were powerless because they had
