The Successful Preacher, 8-10. V. 8. Evidently there was a large Jewish population, and Paul, as was his custom, went into the synagogue. These Jews were n.ore liberal in their view, because he was allowed to con• tinue his preaching fora longer period than he had done elsewhere. For three months he continued to set forth the message of the gospel of the kingdom of God. This is a term which is not often found in. Acts or the writings of Paul, and it occurs mostly in the first three gospels. The kingdom of God is God's rule in this world, which Jesus had come to set up anloug men, Paul generally speaks of the living Christ or of the church; but here he is presented as eagerly discussing with Cis hearers the nature of this kingdom. V. 9. The unbelieving Jews at last follow the example of those at Thea- salonloa, and try to throw obstacles in the way of Paul's mission. They follow the methods of the persecutors, and speak evil of this new doctrine, likely by spreading reports of the character and habits of Paul end his followers. The result was that Paul decides to go out and form a distinct church, separ- ated from the synagogue. The hall which he used was probably connected with one of the several gymnasia of Ephesus, which were the centres for the social life of the people, where they gathered for recreation and to hear the lectures by distinguished speakers. Possibly Tyrannus was one of these lecturers who had. been inter- ested in Paul and who placed the hall at his disposal for part of the time. In the mornings Paul would work at his trade of tent -making, probably along with Aquina and Priscilla, and then in the afternoon or evening he wouiti meet the crowds who gathered to hear what will ening on, V, 10. Paul remains at this task for two years, with the result that the en- tire district arnuptl was evaugilezed. Paul had many helpers whom he sent out nn missionary work, It is doubt- less that this was the way in which the seven churches of Asia, of which we read in Revelation, chapters 2 and 8, were founded, Tice zuccess of this effort was se great that it began to tell upon the offerings that came to the pagan emple. Gradually the pilgrims to the shrine of Artenuis diminished, so that the outburst which ultimately drove Paul from the city, was caused by the interference of the gospel with the vested interests of the priests. U. The Fruits of His Preaching, 18-90. V. 18, Where Christ was preaching there always followed an awakening of the moral life. Jesus had taught that repentance was a needful ac- companiment of the kingdom of God. Here we notice how the new converts were impressed with the need of turn- ing from their old evil ways. The converts cane forward to confess in public their former sins, filled with awe, possibly by the incident told in the previous verses. V. 19. But more significant than confession is the actual amendment of life. They abandon their old prac- tices, and gather together the objects connected with their old superstitious worship. Magicians and astrologers abounded in Ephesus. There was a brisk trade in the sale of books of divination, charms and many forms of spells, These superstitions, as al- ways, had a disastrous effect upon the character, and darkened the minds of those who practiced such rites. The bonfire which followed reminds one of the bonfire of vanities resulting from the preaching of Savonarola at Flor- ence.

A one-man light tank making a amolce t'reen at Salisbury Plain, An ,angler's ad Dream 'ra After the manner of Mr. William Beebe's reported exploits in southern waters a parody article in the curreut issue of "Vanity Fair" describes an eventful fishing experience. 'Supper over, 1 decided to try a little casting, and rigged up my rod, while the doctor—who is not a very ardent angler, although Ile enjoys eat- ing a fish as well as the next one— went in for a cold plunge. My first strike was a beautiful example of that rare deep-sea denizen, the Invertus Collapsus, or sub-ocena turkey, which to my knoweldge has never before been brought into captivity. As soon as this extraordinary fish swallow the hook,he immediately puts the tip of his tail in his mouth and` pulls him- self inside out like a glove, in which position he extracts the barb 'with ease. He then swims backward rap- idly to turn himself outside in again, and flits away silently among the. water -hyacinths, lightly touching his fin to his nose. "In order to land this wily crea- ture, I took out a small pocket•min:Or, and advanced it carefully to a point within a few inches of the fish's head.

Don't Say It Ontario Corn Causes Comment When ono reads from an authorita- tive source of cornstalks that grow to a height of fifteen feet, one is ahnost ready to believe that the nursery tale of "Jack and the Beanstalk" ought to be a bit inflated in order to bring it up to date, A farmer in Ontario is said to ,have displayed stalks of this height when he learned that a New or grower was modestly expressing some pride over his own growth of twelve feet and sig inches, an altitude for corn that might even arouse a lit- tle feeling among such well-known climbers as the members of the pole bean family. Iowa and some of the other corn - .producing states have not been heard from, but if they each report stalks proportionately taller, et will not be long before one reads of stalks twenty- five or thirty feet in height, and the calling out of hook and ladder coin- geography, w.. panics to harvest the crop.
