A MOST TOUCHING APPEAL
falls short of its desired effect if ad-
dressed to a small crowd of interested
listeners. Mr. Business Man, are
you wasting your ammunition on the
•mall crowd that would trade with
you anyway, or do you want to reach
those who arc not particularly inter-
ested in your business? If you do,
make your appeal for trade to the
largest and most intelligent
audience in your commun-
ity, the readers of this
paper. They have count-
less wants. Your ads will
be read by them, and they
will become your custom-
ers. Try It and see.

Paul's Plans for the Future. For at
least two years and three months Paul
had been working in Ephesus and
was about ready to go on extending
Christianity even to Rome (see Rom.
1: 13; IB: 23), and on to Spain (Rom.
15: 24), after visiting and strengthen-
ening the churches in Macedonia and
Greece, and bearing the gifts of Phi-
lippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Corinth
and other Gentile churches (ltom. 15:
26) to the poor in Jerusalem.
In Corinth he expected to receive
contributions for the poor in Jerusa-
lem (1 Cor. 16: 1-4).
He sent two of his helpers, Timothy
and ISrastus (2 Tim. ,4: 20), through
Macedonia to Corinth (1 Cor. 4: 17-19)
to prepare that church for his ap-
proaching visit. Paul succeeded in all
these plans, but some of them were
accomplished in a very different man-
ner, „
Paul "stayed in Asia for a season
(V. 22). Apparently for several weeks
or months. From the fact that Asia
in mentioned rather than Ephesus, its
capital, it has been inferred that he
did not remain in the city all the
time, but labored in the outlying dis-
tricts.
A Contrast. In our last lesson we
saw how Christians voluntarily gave
up a bad business, at great cost to
themselves, for Christ's sake. Now
we find some men who tried to de-
stroy the Gospel because it was injur
ing their bad business.
"There arose no small stir," commo-
tion, like the sea in a storm. "A cer
tain man named Demetrius." Proba-
bly the head of the whole guild of
shrine makers.
"Diana." The Ephesian Diana was
a distinct goddess from the Greek Di-
ana (the Latinized form of Artemis),
who was a virgin, a huntress, a per-
sonification of the moon, aa Apollo
was of the sun. She was worshiped
with the vilest debaucheries, as many
of the heathen idols were, incorpor-
ating the lusts of the flesh in the very
ritual of worship.
"Our craft is in danger," because
"this Paul hath persuaded and turned
away much people, saying that they
be no gods, which are made with
hands:" and this "throughout all
Asia," the Roman province of that
name, of which Ephesus was the capi-
tal. All the blessings of the Gospel,
the uplift, the renovated character,
the happiness and prosperity, and
eternal salvation of the great mass
of the people, weighed nothing against
the money gains of a few men in a
bad business.
This was in direct contrast with the
character of the Christians, who made
great sacrifices in burning their own
(not other people's.) bad books which
were injuring the people.
The Mob in the Coliseum.—Vs. 29
41 "The whole city was filled with
confusion." The mob of Ephesus
made for the house of Aquila, with
whom Paul was lodging. They missed
their prey; but as Paul tells us that
Aquila and Priscllla had for his life
laid down their own necks (Rom. 16:
4), it is likely that these faithful
friends, in shielding the apostle,
brought themselves into the most im-
minent peril. The mob, though baf-
fled of their principal aim, seized on
Gaius and Aristarchus, two of Paul's
I associates, and dragged them away as
i criminals. "Rushed with one accord
I into the theater," the Coloseum, ca-
1 pable of holding 56,000 people.
1 Alexander the Jew. The Jews were
I always especially exposed to perse-
! cution, and as the mob would be like-
ly to make no distinction between
Jews and Christians, particularly as
Paul was a Jew, they put forward a
! prominent. Jew, named Alexander, to
defend them.
I The Mob Quelled. "The townclerk
at length interfered and argued with
the excited people.
1. The worship of Diana was sr
settled in Ephesus that no company o
Jews could overthrow it. You have
no real cause for v'oVnoe. "The im-
age" of Diana "which feH down fro
Jupiter," their chief god, as meteoric
stones fall from the sky.
Thus was peace and quiet restored
The signs of these times meant
that it was best for Paul to leave im-
mediately for another field of labor,
while EphesuB was settling down into
quiet peace, and the church continued
to grow in character and numbers
Therefore Paul bade the beloved
1 church good-by and "departed for to
go into Macedonia" (Acts 20: 1).

LEWIS' "SINGLE BINDER."
A hand-made cigar freBh from the
table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping
fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar
made of good tobacco is the ideal
smoke. The old, well cured tobaccos
used are so rich in quality that many
who formerly smoked 10c cigar§ now
smoke Lewis' Single Binder Straight
5c. Lewis' Single Binder costs the
1 dealer some more than other 5c cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac-
tory to use extra quality tobacco.
There are many imitations; don't be
fooled. There is no substitute! Tell
the dealer you want a Lewis "Single
Binder."    
The Artless Boy.
The boy bowed politely to the gro-
cer.
"I understand," he said, "that you
want a boy, sir. Will you kindly look
me over."
"I only pay $3," said the grocer, ab-
ruptly.
"I understood," said the boy, that
you paid four."
The grocer nodded.
"I did pay four," he said, "until I
saw in the paper the other day that
Millionaire Rogers began his business
career on $3 a week."
The boy smiled.
"But I don't expect to be a million-
aire," he said. "I don't care to be
rich—I'd much rather be good."
The grocer was so much pleased
with this artless reply that he com-
promised with the boy for three and
'a half. 
Your Salary.
The universe pays every man in his
own coin; if you smile, it smiles upon
you in return; if you frown, you will
be frowned at; if you sing, you will
be invited into gay company; if you
think, you will be entertained by
thinkers; and if you love the world
and earnestly seek for the good that
is therein, you will be surrounded by
loving friends, and nature will pour
into your lap the treasures of the
earth. Censure, criticise and hate, and
you will be censured, criticised and
hated by your fellow men.—N. W.

Tidings Borne by Amateur Actor Suf-
ficient to Lead Hearers to Ex-
pect the Worst.
The Shakespeare club of New Or-
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the local prominence of the actors.
Once a social celebrity, with a gor-
geous costume, as one of the lords in
waiting had only four words to say:
"The queen has swooned." As he
stepped forward his friends applauded
vociferously. Bowing his thanks, he
faced the king and said, in a high-
pitched voice: "The swoon haa
queened." .
There was a roar of laughter; but ,
he waited patiently, and made an-
other attempt:
"The sween has cooned."
Again the wal's trembled and the
stage manager said in a voice which
could be heard all over the house:
"Come off, you doggoned fool."
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in a rasping fal-
setto, as he was assisted oft the stage,
he screamed: "The coon has
sweened."—Success Magazine.
Aid Fight Against Tuberculosis.
At the recent meeting of the Na-
tional Association of Bill Posters, held
in Atlanta, Ga., it was decided to do-
nate to the campaign against tubercu-
losis $1,200,000 worth of publicity.
The bill posters in all parts of the
United States and Canada will fill
the vacant spaces on their 3,500 bill
boards with large posters illustrating
the ways to prevent and cure con-
sumption. The Poster Printers' asso-
ciation has also granted $200,000
worth of printing and paper for this
work. This entire campaign of bill-
board publicity will be conducted un-
der the direction of the National As-
sociation for the Study and Preven-
tion of Tuberculosis in co-operation
with the National Bill Posters' asso-
ciation.
A Realist.
"I am a great believer in realism,"
remarked the poet.
"Yes?" we queried with a rising in-
flection, thereby giving him the desired
opening.
"I sometimes carry my ideas or
realism to a ridiculous extreme," con-
tinued the poet.
"Indeed!" we exclaimed inanely,
somewhat impatient to reach the point
of his witticism.
"Yes," continued the poet, "the other
day I wrote a sonnet to the gas com-
pany and purposely made the meter
defective."
At this point we fainted.
They Were Good Mothers.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton is quoted as
saying that a woman's first duty is to
develop all her powers and possibili-
ties, that she may better guide and
serve the next generation. Mrs. Stan-
ton raised seven uncommonly healthy
and handsome children, says an ad-
mirer of hers, and the children of Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe testify to the vir-
tues of the noted woman as a moth-
er. The eagle may be as good a
mother as the hen or the goose.
An Argive Cowherd.
Argus was boasting of his 100 eyes.
"Think of putting on 50 pairs of
goggles when you want to motor!" we
cried.
