In the following year it became an important centre of Christian in- fluence. Today this part of Ephesus has no trade: Its site is merely a col- lection of ruins. It is probable that the first Christian leader to carry on work was Appollos, a learned and elo- quent native of Alexandria. He laid the foundation on which. Paul proceed- ed to build. I. The Successful Preacher, S-10. V. S. Evidently there was a large Jewish population, and Paul, as was his custom, went into the synagogue. Those Jews were more liberal in their view, because he was,allowed to cou- tinue his preaching for a longer period than he had clone elsewLere. 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 among men. Paul generally speaks of the living Christ or of the church; but here he is presented as eagerly discussing with his hearers the nature of this kingdom. V. 9. The unbelieving Jews at last follow the example of those at Thes- salonica, 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 and 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 Aquilla and Priscilla, and then in the afternoon or evening he would meet the crowds who gathered to hear what was going on. V. 10. Pahl remains at thia task for two years, with the result that the en- tire district around was evangilezed. Paul had many helpers whom he sent out on 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 3, were founded. The success of this effort was so great that it began to tell upon the offerings that came to the pagan empie. Gradually the pilgrims to the shrine of Artemus 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. 11.

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.
