How a Town Clerk
Once Quelled a Great Mob
In the Old Town of Ephesus

In the great historical evangeiistic
campaign Paul had come to Ephesus
where he preached and debated With
the exponents OF other religions for
about two years. He made many
oonverts-so many that the manufae-
turers OF idols became fearful that
their business would be hurt.
And at the same time. there
arose no small stir about the way.
For a certain man named Demetrius
snyersmith. who made silevr
shrines for Diana. brought no small
gain unto the craftsmen: whom he
called together with the workDen OF

to be set at naught; but also that
the temple OF the great goddess
Diana should be despised. and her
magnfncence should be destroyed,
whom all Asia and the world wor.

And when they heard these say
ings they were full OF wrath. and
cried out. saying. Great Is Diana of
the Ephesians.
And the whole city was hlled with
confusion: and having caught Gaius
and Aristarchus. men of Macedonia,
