Commentary. -I. Aviles and his visit
to A.chaia (vs. 24-28), Apollo was a
learned an and an eloquent orator,
yet he knew nothing of the 'baptism of
th.o Spirit. "Aquila and Priscilla
unfolded to him thewenderful fact of A
Xessiali already mime. They gave elm
the history of the incarnation, the 10 --
Wee, the crucifixion, the reeaurrection,
the ascensiou, the penteeostel outpouring
and the commission to convert the world.
The pupil was soon superior to leie
Welters." Apollos soon went into Ach.
aia, of which Corinth was the capital.
Here he pretohed with great power. He
appears to have had good success.
11. Paul's peeaehing and miracles (vo.
1-12), Paul aeon ceane to Ephesus. This
was in accordance with the promise made
them when returning from his second
eanissionary journey (chap. 18. 21), Ephe-
sus was not only the capital of the pro-
vince, uut was the city of tho greatest
importence in all Asia Minor. At Ephe-
sus rani preached the deeper truths of
the gospel and, through the laying On
of the apostle's hands the Holy Spirit
am upon the disciples (vs. 2-6). 8,
Spake boldly -Paul went to the syna-
gogue on al! occasions of religious serv-
iees, and it appears that the utmost
freedom was given him in preaching the
gospel. Disputing-"Reaeoninee-R. V.
6. Were hardened -The majority of the
Jews hardened their hearts against the
truth, and at length the leaders No-
elairaed their hostility and reviled
Chrietianity..publioly in the synagogue.
This couduet induced the apostle not
Only to renounce, on his part, all fellow-
ship with the aynagogue, but also ,to
withdraw the whole number of the
Christians from it. The Way (R.V.)-
The term Way is here Oven as a dire
tinctive name to the Christian religion,
School of one Tyrannus-After leaving
the synagogue Paul cheese the lecture
roma of a man named Tyrannus, as a
place suitable for his religieus teaching.
Inasmuch as Ephesus was a Greek city,
whore literature, philosophy and rheto-
ric flourished, this was doubtless the
school ef a Greek rhetorician. The room
was open to Paul, not ouly on the Sab-
bath, but alao at. all other times.
10. This continued....Two years- To
the Ephisian elders he said he hid not
ceased to warn them for the space of
three years (Acts 20. 31). The two state-
ments must not be regarded as conflict -
nig. To the two years should be added
the three months of vs. 8 and also the
time which preceded Paul's preachingin
the synagogue. According to Jewish
reckoning three years may mean only
•Lam full year and part of a year which
preceded and followed. 111....which
dwelt in A.sia beard -During these years
Ln Ephesus Paul made a profound im-
pression and all Asia was !Stirred. ",Aid-
ed by -his faithful fellow minieters, and
perhaps by his consecrated twelve (Ve,
0, 7), he could not only thunder the law
and thc gospel from the academie hall
of Tyrannue, but in the surrounding rur-
al territory, and even the other great
Asiatic cities. Thousands who came to
Ephesus to worship in the temple of Din-
na, came to hear the gospel of the Savior
in the school of 'Tyrannus. Other/
thousands heard that same gospel from
the apostle's faithful missionaries; so
tlzat literally all Asia heard the wore
of the Lord Jesus." It was during this
period that the seven churches of Asia,
and probably many more, were establish-
ed.
12. From his body -The Revised Ver -
Mon here is to be preferred. Aprons -
These aprons had probably been wed by
, Paul in his ordinary labor when working
• at his trade as tent -maker. Diseases de-
parted -"They resorted to this course,
prabably, because the throng was so
great that the sick could not be
brought directly to the apostle, or in
some instances were too infirm to be
removed from their houses." -Hackett.
It is well to notice that the apPstle did
not re4ommend such a course, but the
faith of the people was such that they
resorted to these metbods. and God was
fdeased to honor their faith.
Vagabond Jews defeated (vs. 13-
17). 13. Vagabond-eptrolling."-R, V.
They were similar to modem •gypsies
and fortune-tellers. "Certain Jews who
went about from place to place, profess-
ing by charms and spells to cure dis-
eases." Exorcists -Men who, by the au-
thority of the name of some eSowerful
beingrsoleninly twinned to require the
demon to depart so effectively as to be
lobeyee.-Whedou. Call over them-
Enewing that Paul eeet out demons
through the name of Jesus, they thought
that by using the same name they could
produce the same effeets. Adjere .you

Whom Paul preacheth-No (twit they
had of ten heard Paul proeleim the
divinity of Christ in the hall of Tyran-
nus. 14. A chief priest ,(RO V.)-Jnet
why this title is given to him we cannot
tell, but he was probably the head of
one of the twenty-four courses and a
ruler of distinction. 15, Bei1 spirit an-
swered -The evil spirit in the snart spoke

no power or authority; you are not his
followers, and so are only pretenders

16. Both of them (R. V.) -It appears
that only two of the seven edits were
present on this occasion, Prevailed -
The man in whom the demon was rag-
ing tore off their clothing and wounded
their bodies, so that they fled in dis-
grace from his presence. Several simi-
lar instancee are recorded. See Mark

APPLICA,TIONS.
The Tests of Christianity.
I. Christianity proved by special mix. -
Roles. Under the shadow of the temple
of Diane at Ephesus, where superstition
and miraele-workers abounded, "Goa
wrought spee'el miracles by the hand of
Peul; so that from. his body were
ehrought imp the sick hanakerchiefe-Or
aprons, andthe diseases departed f) -on
them, and the evil epirits went out of
• them" (vs. 11.12.) In every age mint
-
cies have proved the power of God.
Ephesus eves the mitre of magic, witch-
craft ond jugglery. The leplieemn let-
ters were celebrated. They were a emn-
bination of letters on words, whits's, be-
ing pronounced with eertaiu intonatione
of the voice, were believed tn be effec-
tual in curing diseases end expelling
evil spirits. Being written on wet -i-
ntent, and worn, they were supposed to
guard from evil spirits and danger. In
such it city, among pretended magical
wonder -workers. Paul was given special
power to do Oen greeter thingsthan
the sorceress pretended to do.
II. Imitations of Christianity end in
failure. Certain "exorcists,' seeing
Paul's wonderful works, irepitusly
sought to imitate him. Paul had east
out evil spirits and they would do the
same. Paul had cad them • out in the
name of Jesus and they sought to do it
by the seine method; but they' could not
say, .,"We adjure you by the name of
Jesus Christ whom we love _and whom
we serve" they said, "Are adjure you
by Jesus whom Paul preacheth" (v. 13).
"They failed at every point; end so will
the minister who says to hie hearers, '1
adjure you by the Christ whom the
apostles,preachede If I have to preach a
Christ whorze another man preacbed, 1
have to eemmit a lesson to memory and
be very eerefuf lest I stumble in the ver-
bal von tion; but if I preach a Chlist
born in my own heart, the helm of glory,
living with ree day by day, then men
must be constrained te say pleb.1 have
been with Jesus and learned of lump"
111. Tie Christians proved. 1. By their
faith. "Many.... believed" (v. 18).
Faith in the Word of God is the first
thing in the Clarietittet life as love is the
greatest (1 Cort 13;10), Without faith
we cannot please God (Bob, 11;4). With-
out faith we cannot know the blessed-
ness of any, Canaan experience (Heb.
3:19).
2. By their -Confession, "Genie and
confessed" (v. 18). These men who had
"been the dupes of the magicians came
o nd acknowledged how shamefully they
had. been deluded and how deeply they
had. allowed themselves to be implicated
in so& practices."
3. By their works. "Showed their
deeds" (v. 18). What they did showed
where they stood. A true Christian nev-
er lives like a worldling. A Chinaman
coining to this country soon after his
conversion was shocked to find how pro-
fessed Christians here were linked to the
world. Referring to the many unlawful
things in ivhich eertitin ones indulged, he
remarked, "In my country, when the
disciples come out teem the world, they
come clear out." Shall heathen China
set us an example, and we refuse to fol-
low it?
e 4. By their stterifice. "Brought their
books together and burned them" (v..
10). "An inquirer, honest and earnest,
surprised that the Christian way did not
open to him at Once, thought of some-
thing he was not willing to give Up to
please God. It Was a library of infidel
books of which he we,s prou,d, and which
he could not help- reading at timeseebut
when the issue became manifest, he made

being attached to the post, The
Puke of Connaught, in an official an-
nouricement, said; "In view of new
developments in the organization the

creased importance and will be taken up
by Lord Kitchener, with the object of
giving it its proper place in the` scheme

It es understood that ail a result of
the Imperial Defence Conference

co-ordinate all the military forces of
the Empire and place Lord Kitchener
at the head of an organization hav-

Lord Kitchener will go to ja,pen to
represent Great. Britaineal, the dapan-
ese grand manoeuvres in November
and afterward make a tour of Can-
ada, Australia and New Zealand to

The reunion of the long separated

FEWER CIGARETTES.
Ottawa., Aug. 0. -There were thirty
million less cigarettes smoked in Can-
ada last year than the year before.
•The decline is held to bo entirely
among boys of sixteen years oi under, .ve
and to be entirely due to the testae"'
tive legislation put through. Parlia-
ment by the Government during the
session of 1908. It is believed that
the law actually prevented the smok-
ing of from forty to fifty million.
cigarettes by the boys of the country,
as the consumption was increasing,
and if it had• not boon for the law
there would have been an increase of
from ten to twenty millions instead of
a. decline of thirty millions. This is
a fair assumption, as the consumption
was increasing 'nova and more each
year, and during the six years .prior to
1908 the increase amounted to over
seventy-five million.
. The total consumption of cigarettes
last Year Was about three hundred and
seventy millions. There were three
hundred and fifty-six and three-quar-
ter/millions of cloniestic cigarettes con-
sumed or a decrease of twenty-eight
railliqns, and there were twelve . and
three-quarter millions of imported
cigarettes smoked, a decreaseof
about two millions.
The results are more impressive when
it is remembered that the law ..evae in
force for only eight months of the
year. It became effective on July 20,
• 1908, aud the year closed for statistical
purposes on March 31, 1909.
The law is rather dvastic. It forbids
the sale or gift of cigarettes or cigar-
ette material to boys of sixteen or less
under penalties of front ton to 4 hun-
dred dalliers. It requites police to Beim
cigarettes or any form of tobaeco itt
possession of any boy in a public place.

When the law wee enacted it wits de-
