The Calming of the Riot.

The appearance of the public official
called the town clerk at last brought or
der. for he by a mastery appeal, using
candid argument and 5udicious tact" Sc
cured hearing and dismissed the unruly
assembly The first point he makes Is
that the crowd are shouting themselves
hoarse in proof of what every one admits.
Here was a skillful blending of flattery
and reproof. His next point is that the
Christian leaders have done no criminal
act. They have not robbed the temples OF
the gods, neither have they spoken Ill of
Diana. He put Demetrius In an awk-
ward position before the crowd by point
ing that IL there had been any wrong
doing II was a personal matter which he
| could settle in the Ephesian courts, which
| were then in session.
Ris references to the law gave him an
opportunity to point out to the mob that
| they were not legally called assembly
with power to transact business. but a
mob on the verge of riot This i'm
periled their civil liberty. for the imperial
, capital did not look with favor upon any
turbulent assemblaees, and Ephesus faced

local government reoealed because of the
unla wfuT assemblase When the town

error he Immediately dismissed the crowd

capital of heathenism that meant the
crushing of the powers of idolatry and

The town clerk laid down a principle
that ought to guide every man today In
his judgment OF Christianity He may
not have realized the good philosophy con-
tanned In his suggestion, Seeing that

The Community Riot.


Idolatry was tottering under the ef-
feet of the tremendous driving power
OF the army Of the Lord, when the lead
er of the silversmiths stirs up the
trade union of idolmakers to unite
against the further advancement of the
forces of the Lord Jesus, who. under
the leadership of Paul, had won not
only Ephesus, but also by using it as
base had conquered Asia Minor, the
section that Paul had desired to win
for Christ Jesus, when the Holy Spirit
closed the door of service and opened
the way for his preaching the gospel
to the gentiies in Europe. Demetrius,
who had called the meeting of the sill
yer craftsmen, with the subtlety of
selfshness. appealed to their covetous-
ness and adroitly covered up his
miserly commercial spirit by a higher
appeal to their love Of their renowned
goddess. He was not mistaken to
the way the tide had turned, for he
had felt in his business the force of
the Christian current that was destined
to destroy both the temple and the
trade in idols.
There would be excitement in every
city in America il the forces of the
Christian churches should be modified
| for mass movement against every
business that was interfering with the
advancement OF the country. civilza
| tion and the Christian churches of the
land. The trafficker in liquors, the
white SLAYER. the gambler, the publish
I er of obscene literature and the graft
er in political life fear the dawning of
| the day when the forces Of Christ
found in the different communes. con-
gregations and churches shall hear the
Masters call to reform the world, de-
throne Satan and enthrone the Lord of
I Lords and King of Kings.
Luke's graphic account shows that he
was an eyewitness TO the riot and prob
ably had shared in Paufs anxiety for

confirmed by many discoveries of mod
