The sixteenth chapter Of Acts the
thirtieth verse--''What must / do 20
bo saved"
The apostle Paul seemed 10 live in
perpptual state of revival. He had
only 10 come into Philippi. the chief
city Of Macedonia, and slt by the
river bank and we are told that Lyd-
10, the seller of purple. believed and
was baptized.
There was 80 much power and
conviction about him that he had
only to walk the street and n girl
Possessed with the spirit OF divina-
tion, or as we say. had the devil IN
hcr,r walking after Paul and with
derision said, "Thesc are the scry-
ants of the Most High God. that
show unto us the way OF salvation.'
As lf there was anything these
men could impnrt which. by doing
would benefit our position-the au-
dacity OF these men that they come
TO us and talk 10 US about the lm-
provemcnts IN our conduct IN the
manner OF liVingl
These are the servants OF tho
Most High God who come 90 teach
us the way OF salvntlon."
Paul was pricvod because Of owl
donces Of the dcyil within her and
no said. - command you In the
name OF Jesus come out Of ber!'
And when her masters saw that
the hope OF their gain was gone
the hope ~ their gain lay In the
keeping OF the dovil IN that girl and
as long az ;he devil was within her
they would feed and fatten and gor-
mandlzc off the money SHE earned
--as long ns tho dev1 was IN her
she was nothing but "a mere pawn ON
the chcssboard TO be moved by that
ilcentious crowd that had her undor
their grip like "a panderer today
aud when her masters saw that the
hope OF their gain was gone, and
when tho devil went out their
gain went with him, and when Jesus
Christ came IN the girl was no'long-
er under their power when her
masters saw that the hope OF their
gain was gone that they could no
longer feed and fatten and german
diZo on her ain. they seized the men
that God had used to drive the devil
ont OF her and rushed thcm over 20
the magistrate and they said These
men teach doctrines contrary for us

And old Demetrius used TO make
silver shrines for Diana OF the Ephe-
Aihrs, aud Paul had gone over there
and preached. and the people had
been converted from hcathenlsm An
they wouldn't buy his littlo silver
shrines any more. He saw that the
effect OF paul's preaching hurt hia
business, 40 he called together every
body OF like craft and said

affected by these men. ~ that fell
