quiet and selfcontrol by the per suasive eloquence and sensible advice of the town clerk who sto d for law and order as opposed to the effort to obtain redress for reai or fancied wrongs by inciting to unreasonable and illegal methods surely in this there is nucr that vve as a pe ple may and should take to heart to lay what is the idolatry against which the christ ian church finds itself in conflict today diana of old the multiple- breasted goddess whose worship was supposed to insure iarge in crease in the produce of the field and great human fecundity may well symbolize that great

chesky inspect trucktoad of and souls of men such as the liquor traffic the vice ring degrading womanhood in order to become wealthy by pandering to the pas sions of beastly men tha gambling fraternity which impoverishes thousands for the enrichment of a few and every other form of eovetousness which callously seeks only its own interests at the expense of the general public the representatives of these systems are always opposed to the liberat ing gospel of christ which delivers men from sins thralldom and arrays them in opposition to every thing that is vicious and hurtful to mankind but christianity can never be howled down by mob psychology and the sooner men realize this the better in the towi clerk of ephesus himself evidently still a pagan we have at least an example of the power of appeal to law and order to which christians ever desire to be subject and which is the only proper way to handle questions that have to do with the wellbeing of society verse by verse acts 19 29 the whole city was filled with confusion the mob spirit spread rapidly throughout ephesus crowds surged to and fro shouting the praises of diana and denouncing the followers of christ laying hold of two of pauls com panions gaius and aristarchus they dragged them into the public theatre cattle going over border at windsor to us market truck after truck headed for harder with choice canadian beef after embargo was lifted prices didnt soar as was predicted- verse 30 when paul would have entered the theatre the disciples suffered him not daunt less himself paul attempted to meet the mob face to face but was restrained by his converts and dis ciples who realized he would be risking his valuable life needlessly verse 31 the chief of asia which were his friends these were government officials known as asiarchs who were favorable to paul and who also urged him not to get into contact with the excited and irresponsible crowd who were surging about in the theatre verse 32 the more part knew not wherefore they were come to gether it is easy for crafty demagogues and political tricksters to arouse the mob and stir them even to violence when many may not even be aware of the issues involved verse 33 they drew alexander out of the multitude this man was not a friend of paul but a jew whom his own religious associates thrust forth to speak for them in j opposition to the gospel j verse 31 when they knew that he was a jew the throng would not listen to him for jew and christian alike refused worship to i the goddess the mob continued to roar great is dianaof the ephesians as though the greater noise they made the greater would be the likelihood of their succeed- ing in destroying all opposition to their idolatry verse 35 the town clerk appeased the people this cool headed official managed to quiet the mob he pointed out that there was nothing to become so excited about the fact that the ephesians were worshipers of diana was well known he reminded them of what was commonly reported namely that the image of the goddess had fallen down from jupiter the supreme deity in their pantheon actually this image was a black meteorite that bore only a slight resemblance to the figure of a woman verse 3g these things cannot be spoken against such was the judgment of the town clerk actually these things were based on falsehood and were destined to be defeated by the truth of god as proclaimed by paul something the clerk knew nothing of verse 37 these men are neither robbers of churches temples nor yet blasphemers of your goddess nothing unlawful had been done by paul or his associates theirs was not a denun ciatory ministry but rather a posi tive setting forth of the truth of the gospel verse 3s the law is open let them implead one another there was no reason to stir up such a tumult if demetrius nad cause for just complaint he could bring the matter before the proper v u mlli dora recentlj i a visit to man chester this city the distributing centre of foodstuffs for that densely populated part of england renown ed the world over for its cotton spinning and weaving industries and for us engineering machinery and chemical factories mr logan talked with butchers and meat dealers wholesalers and retailers and as a result of his enquiries reports that canadian bacon is most popular he states that representatives of the bacon trade drew his attention to the fact that the retailers are more enthusias tic over canadian bacon than ever before they commented in partic ular on the steady substantial flow of bacon that is coming from can ada and on the achievement which canadians have made in improving quality british retailers are hand- ling more canadian bacon than any other kind and their customers are well satisfied with it behind this encouraging news is the accomplishment of canadian farmers in producing a lean bacon hog the vigilance of the dominion department of agriculture in its inspection and in its efforts to promote a milder cure and the cooperation of the packing indus try in preparing properly cut walt- shire sides authorities for adjudication nothi ing is ever gained by appealing to i

bel redressed they should be taken upl in accordance with the constitution of the commonwealth if necessary new laws may be passed and putl into effect by the vote of die peoplex and in the same way others may be repealed verse 10 we are in danger tol be called in question for this days uproar while professing to stand for law and custom demetrius and his friends were acting contrary to law and were themselves in danger of being charged with disturbing the peace verse 41 he dismissed the assembly having delivered hid calm and collected discourse the town clerk brought the gathering tcj a close the word translated assembly here is ekklesia tivi same as that generally translated church this helps us to under stand its true meaning ar assembly not a building or hierarchy the heart of the
