THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The chronology - of the Apostle Paul's life is a subject in which great differences of opin- fon are held, but we may date ths events of our lesson, approxi- mately, A.D. 64 to 68.

Paul in Ephesus Ephesus was one of the great- est cities of the ancient world, The first experience of Paul in Ephesus of which we have record is his meeting with a group of disciples, the followers of the teachings of John the Baptist, a situation similar to that in which Aquila and Priscilla found Apol- los, in the section immediately GE preceding the opening paragraph | of 'our: lesson, Acts 19:8. "And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the spice of three months, reasoning ind persuading as to the things :on- cerning the kingdom of God. 9. But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separ- ated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10, And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks." Paul's ministry here was marked by special thoroughness of teach- ing, due probably to his experi- ence of errors among his earlier converts; by Te mirac- nlane «* apr wun la yan ak WO have been intended specifically to offset and overcome the power of magic and sorcery in Ephesusg by varied and widespread success, . gso_ that through the entire prov- ince his influence extended; by -- { fierce opposition, of which the ex- | citing demonstration caused by Demetrius was only one, "and probably not the most serious; and finally by constant attention to the difficulties existing in dis- tant churches, the care of which pressed upon him daily. The de- tails of Paul's life in Ephesus would furnish a story of physical, intellectual and spiritual acti- vity, marvellous for its intensity and versatility. Paul Preaches Against Diana At the end of three years, Luke tells us, Paul determined in his heart that he must leave for Jerusalem, and then pro- ceed to Rome. Paul struck at all the great cities he could reach in the Roman Empire, at least north of the Mediterranean, and the greatest of these .was Rome, which he had not yet seen. "23. And about that time there arose no small stir con- cerning the Way. 24, For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the crafts men; 25. whom he gathered to- | gether, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth. 26. And ye see and hear," that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout | 'all Asia, this Paul hath persuad- ed and turned away much people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands: 27. and not only is there danger that this our trade come into 'disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess 'Diana be made of no account, 'and that she should even be de- | posed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. 28. And when they heard this they were filled with wrath, and cried out, say- ing Great is Diana of the Eph- esians, 29. filled with the confusion: and they rushed with one accord inte the theatre, having seized Gaius . and Aristarchus, men of Mace- "donia, Paul's travel. 30. And when Paul was minded to enter in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. 81. And certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, And the city was | companions in te A) "You'd never know there was a war on" is a conversational romide around the luxurious Imperial Hotel, above, at Torquay, amed English Channel pleasure resort. sent unto him and besought him not to adventure himself into the theatre. 32. Some therefore cried one thing, and some an- other: for the assembly was in confusion; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together." Their Concern Is Money Suddenly the whole city of Ephesus was inflamed and rising against the apostle and the dis- ciples, because so many were turning in disgust from the ten; worship of Diana, and J3re no lonzer buying imager either to ofer as sacrificc3™or to carry hme with them as objects of worship. The silversmiths who gew rich on this kind of traffie vere afraid their business would je lost, and they would be de- prived of their large incomes. These silversmiths cared nothing for the truth of the religion their shrines represented sbut, their concern being money, they were determined that this man must - either be put out of the city, or be put to death. What an ack- nowledgment of the power of the gospel, that the whole city should be in such an uproar over the message of one Jew, by the name of Paul concerning a crucified person by the name of Jesus! One thing the authorities couldn't do was to "laugh off" this gospel message, for it was actually trans- forming the lives of great multi- " tudes of Ephesian citizens and visitors, and everyone in Ephesus knew it. Canada Builds Big Warships Rank Between Destroyer pro i _. and er uiSEr Ih Giza Munitions Minister Howe told a group of 10 United States news- paper women visiting the capital recently that Canada now is con structing a naval craft which ranks. in size "between = destroy. er and a cruiser." He declined to disclose the ton- nage of the vessels which he. said were "long-range and larger than the usual destroyer," nor did he disclose the number under oon- struction. "Those now under construction will be launched about the end of 1942," the minister said. One of the newspaper women asked if the ships would be used for convoy duty and he said they would be 'useful for that purpose but will be used for patrol work off the ooast." . Mr. Howe some time ago an- nounced it was planned to launch a destroyer-construction program in Canada and that British technio- al experts were coming to the Do- minfon to help get it under way. 8y William Ferguson | This Curious WORLD - REPORTS of the U. that about 90 per cent as unprotected | lly owned ig Bd "Prod 6 s, bat mi s of & re not. fied over by forest fires 192,400 seres of nation- fh of organi ntrot sys- 1 oh farisey tre 0, =8t areas - NEXT: What would happen # The sarth siopped moving fn Hs | orbit? i / ls, FSeout SCOUTING...

Improve Your Conversation Here Are Some Suggestions on How To Do It Tips on c¢'nversation are offered by Ruff Millet who believes that ~the- ~7erage person (and that in- cludes the majority of us) ha a chance of becoming a witty EA brilliant conversationalist, in spite of the claims of all the "howls" books. It is possible to improve the quality of conversation in general, she believes. Remember these do's and don'ts (it's surprising how few people do remember them) and your tak will be interesting em- ough and of a high enough qual- ity to get you by without irritating or boring your friends, she advises. To begin with, don't feel that when two persons are together for sev- eral hours one of them has to be talking every minute. Learn not to be embarrassed by silences. The person who isn't afraid of ocoas- onal silences is a restful person to have around. Don't grab the ball the moment your opponemt drops or fumbles it. If you pick #t up throw it back to him once. That is, if your companion is telling a story, don't wait, eagerly for him to pause long enough for you to say, "That reminds me"--and plunge into a story of your own. Ask him a question, or make a comment on his story when he's finished. He thinks it is worth that much of your attention, or he wouldn't have bothered to tell it. Steer clear of talking about your health, your husband's or wife's health, your children's health, your parent's health. Keep your stories as short as you can make them. Remember how Pleased you always are when an after-dinner speaker talks for two minutes and then sits down. Don't bother too much about de- | , tails. The "let's see, was it Mon- day or was it Tuesday" stuff drives anybody crazy, Don't tell a story that doesa't have any point. If your stories al- ways seem to ramble and fall flat at the end, try writing them out-- ond you'll be able to discover why. Following this advice won't make your talk sparkle. But if you follow it, your talk will be good enough to get you by. x conversational - RADIO REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS "BETWEEN OURSELVES" Comment on world events, his- tories of famous regiments, and stories about famous musicians, artists and statesmen come within the wide scope of R. B. Farrell, whose talks, "Between Ourselves" are a feature of CBC"S network at 12.15 p.m. on Sundays. Born in Halifax, N.S, Mr. Far- rell was educated in England and at Dalhousie University in the Maritimes. Durlag the World War No. 1, he served first {in the Can- adian Navy, then as a recruiting officer throughout Canada, andvas an infantry officer in England and France. After the war he did a great deal of work for the Federal Department of Labour before going into journalism, (he is now Assoc- fate Editor of the Ottawa Journal). This varied career may in part account for the wide scope of his broadcast talks. During the past four months, Mr. Fagprell has received more than twenty-five thousand letters from lise These came from all parts of the continent, from the North-West Territories and the Yukon and from below Canada's southern borders -- from house- wives and archbishops, from sol- diers, and even from inmates of prisons. A large number come from the United States, although Am- erican networks do not carry Mr. Farrell's talks. These talks are haerd in this part of Ontario from CBY and CKOC. ? * * * AROUND THE DIAL Fair warning to sourdoughs, Eskimos, trappers, and other resi- dents of the territory of Alaska!
