was the preachine of the cross withal

PONver. The widesproaaing effects of
true religion were seen in the changed
habits and customs of the people,
Demetrius designated Paul as the per -
ecu who had not only produced a cri-
els in trade, but. one wno had endau-
gored their religion. He' aroueed the

tined to a few or bad it reached only
the intellects and not the hearts of
many in Ephesus, Demetrius would
taw° had no cause for alarm. Paul's
Preaching bore testinwen.y against him.
Could Demetrius have denied or ig-
nored its effects, he would have done
so. According to his own statement
there was much less demand for silver
shrines as a consequence of Paul's
preaching. When the EplAosifAns ao
cepted Chriet as their Saviour, they
turned away from their former super-
.stitione. The real offense lay in the
_fact that tbe gospel hae gained power
and was putting down the old faith,
Though the gospel contained lessons
ef godliness with glorious promises of
immortality and reeelations of the
ermaness and lore of God, Demetrius
paw in -It one fatal blot which to him
obliterated all its. excellences. It
aonid deetroy his trade in silver
ehrines. Faith in Jesus Christ would
be a, death -blow to the gains of Ephe-
elan craftsmen.
To overthrow Christianity. False
religion resorted to violence for pro-
tection. Idolatry was afraid of truth.
The craftsmen made use of the peo-
ple as blind instrumento to accomplish
their private designs, though the con-
currence of the multitude in support
of their -cause was no proof of its jus-
tice. The uproar was exated by mer-
cenary artificers. The triumphs of the
gospel at Epheeus, according to Dem-
etrius, involved a religious revolution.
The conflict stood between divine
truth and human error. It was a spirit
Ole rebellion against the gospel. Pent-
up passions were let loose in a popular
riot. It was popular opposition to ex-
press popular opinion. However unin-
formed in matters of religion'the town
clerk was, it was plain that he was a
competent man . He gave teetimony to
the conduct of the apostle ate the pro-
moter of a new :faith. He reduced the
hazardsof Demetrius to their proper
,Preportions as mere personal mat -
tees. He informed the whole multitude
'Oat disaster might be the sequel of
the day's wasted uproar and undefend-
ed concourse. It was wise advise.° to
urge the multitude to do nothing rash-
ly. It was shrewd counsel to remind
the mob of the law, the place of which
they were usurping. The sudden quiet-
ing cf the oity was a tribute to genius
of Rome for good government. The
whole occurrence was improper, un -
feet., needlees and dangerous. Tlae town

fusion of the people and the reason-

The entire effort to protect heathen
a.eligioe and cuetoms by an attempt to
eieerthrow Christianity was the means
cf contributing to the spread of the
gospel. A church 'was established at
Ephesus �f a large number of believ-
ers. Paul might have discuesed the ab-
stract questions of religion and vari-
ous questions concerning idols and
idolaters without creating any antog-
ionism and without winning any con-
verts to Christianity. IIowever, Paula

had been defending the ettre eastern

wards alongthe Stanislau-Lemoers
railway, the Teuton forces are hotly
purstted in the direetioa of
' Halicz,
another important railway town 15
miles to the north, The capture of
this town is believed to be only a
matter of hours.
Meanwhile the Rtissian left wing,
actin, in conjunction with Letchitz-
ky'a Stanislau army, resumed its drive
against the Teuton Carpathian forces
and captured Delatyn, their main
base, according to official admission
to -night. Petrograd is silent on this
success, but all indications are that
the long and bitterly -fought -for Rus-
sian aim, to separate the Teuton
eouthern wing from the northern
armies is near its realization, if it Is
not already accomplished.
Simultaneously with these successes
in Southeastern Galicia, the Russiann
scored further headway in the north-
east of the crown lend, in the Senile
valley, capturing two fortified posi-
tions, Glia,dka and Voroblevsk. The
feet that both the Russian and Aus-
trian officials to•night !speak repeat-
edly of "evacuation" as in the case of
Stanisiau and the Sereth positions in
dicates that the Teutons have .beeun

east. The Galician capital is now

a successful counter -offensive by von
Linsingen's Volhynia army now seem
the only chance to evert a Teuton re-
tirement from the Baltic to the Car
pathians.
SECOND IMPORTANT SUCCESS.
The bapture of Stauislau is the sec-
ond important imam scored by the
Russians in a little more than two
weeks. It comes elose on the heels
of the fall of Brody, the northeastern
"gate" of Lemberg. Stanislau had
been recaptured by the Austrians on
Juno 9, of last year, and had 'been
in their hands ever since. Its fall
means a Russian advance since,June
3, with General Brusiloff's present
offensive set in. Of 34 miles due east
• from where the old line was. south of
,Buszacz. The loss of so important a
railway city and the probable conee-
quences are expected to have a great
metal effect on the Austrian popula-
tioft and on the morale of the army.
particularly in view of the recent
appointment of the Hapsburg throne
heir, Arehduke Carl Frank Joseph as
• commander-in-chief of the armies in
Galicia,.
General Letehitsky's znceessfal
drive on etanislan from the south-
east and east automatically enabled
his right wing, operating on the Kor-
cpiec River to the west of Buczacz,
to push forward. Threatened by an
attack from the rear on the part of
the etassians, who are driving north-
ward from Stanislau, the Teuton
forces on the Koropiec were forced
into a hasty retreat and are now
rating westerard in an effort to reach
the Stanislau-Lemberg Railway before
they can be cut off.
As a consequence of this Teuton
retreat, the Muscovites pushed their
own lines from the Kemple° River t6
tbe Zlota Lipa and on the Koropiet
and the villages of lTsiezelone and
Meudigornee, on the western hauk of
the Zlota Lipa, were captured. The
Russian advance in this regiOrs

I was fain to clinib before the night;

men and imposed with serious relig-
ious sanction. Taereby they think
they glorify God. Is religion made up
of mechanical, material and carnal
elements?
What is the value of religious dut-
• tee, and ordinances, if the heart does
not follow with its splendid sanctions?
How near can sacraments approach
the spirit of man? Men taste bread
and wine, which are carnal thing.
Suppose the soul stands with its emp-
ty cup in hand, waiting for its share
in the ordinance; at what point cen it
dip its cup into the stream and take a
drink and be refreshed? Can you
come any nearer the spirit, of man
than by symbol tele sound? Can man
give vision and lint Oar introspec-
tion t Can you aninge the furni-
ture for the reception and ratvishtheet
of the awful Presence? Vsbat towel
or man can disturb the soul with the
joy of elevated thought? "The ling
dorn of God is within," independent of
Dna superior to the ministry ot man.
Deep calleth unto deep, arid the sanc-
tuary of the soul is the Holy of Hol -
les, which no one may enter but the
High Priest of our profession. The
Sabbath is made for man, a eymbol, a
foretaste, a pre -vision of the home of
the mints in light.
"Midst power that knows no limit.
Where wisdom has no bound,
The beatific vision
Shall glad the saints around.
o happy, holy portion,
Refection for the blest,
True vision of true beautee
True care of tho distressed!

Food Bad, and Medical At-
tendance a Dis-
grace.
London, Aug, 13. -The proverbial
joy of the Philistine over the death
of Ring Saul Is as nothing compared
to that of the young Canadian lade
alio, after fifteen inoaths' residence in
Hunland, are once again enjoyitig the
delights of Britise liberty. Thera were
eight Canadians imitated. in it party
of exchanged 'wounded 'who arrived
here three days ago. The names are:
Privates M. E, Hoagies, Trenton, On-
tario, Second Battalion; Vernon
Hughes, Vancouver, 29th; Alexan ler
B. Clarice, Calgary, 10th; IYArcy Lati-
num, Ottawa District, 21a1; Henry
James, Vereun, Montreal, 13th; Fred
Higgins, Eastern .Ontario, 29th; Ar-
thur Ward, Moose .Taw, 5th, and Jack
Mackey, believed to belong to the 19th.
With one exception, in the ease of
Vernon Hughes, all of them were
wounded and made prisoners in the
second battle of Ypres, and have since
April, 1915, been 'doing the contin-
ent" either in hospitals or prison
ce.mps. Everyone of them is able to
git about freely, some with the aid ef
a stick, others with' crutches, and
seem ba excellent spirits.
FOOD BAD AND SCaRCE,
rimy make the most bitter corn -
paints about the supply and quality
of the food and against the medical
treatment In prison caraps. "We
• should have starved long ago," they
say, "had it not been for the parcels
received from the Canadian Red
Close. When we asked for more the
temmander would turn around and
tell us Britain was entirely responsible
• because they refused to allow the
zupply coming into Germany, add:ng:
"Our own children are starving as
W6ile's"
Dcribing more specifically the
kind of food they received, two men
who came from Minden camp said
that there was occasionally a varia-
tion in the menu, but there the usual
rations were a cup of so-called coffee
and a lump of brown bread for break-
fast, horse beans and some vegetable.
A mixture of four potatoes and gravy
made with powder for dinner, with a
piece of horse-fiesh thrown in once
or twice a week, while in the evening
they havo raw herrings and tea, and
what they had left was served out to
them in the mornieg.
POOR' MEDICAL ATTENDANCE.
A. B. Clarke, of Calgary, who was
at Senel Ager, said they had one meal
a day for several weeks and that con-
sisted of rye brew' and soup. eSofir
Clarke, who has a leg* taken off just
below the knee, and Heagles, whose
hip had been blown off, and wee
Woke very poorly, complain very bit-
tsrly against the hospital treatment
they received. For days at a stretch
they received no change of bandages
or dressing of any kind. If they com-
plained to the medical officer in
charge they were politely told there
was no one here to attend them. 'Every
fit man, medical or otherwise, seems
to have been taken for duty at the
front, while nursing is entrusted to
inexperienced men discharged from
the army. Clarke still believes his leg
was needlessly sacrificed.
Henry James, Montreal, who had
it piro in the right shin taken out,
thinks the Germans are first-class
looters. "I had no sooner reached
Paderborn Camp," he said, "than they
Stole my two gold rings and watch. I
made several protests, but it was no
use." Earlier in the war he said the
Oermans mtulo a fuss over the Cana-
dians, more especially if they happen-
ed to be of French descent, bitt seeing
that pampering was futile they turned
upon what they once defied. They
Were called all sorts of British names.
ALL REFUSE TO WORK.
Canadians and British soldiers have
consistently refased to work for the
Germans in munitions factories or
mines. One Canadian, Hatay Hogarth,
a well-known athlete, is undergoing a
second term of imprisonment for re-
fusing to do any kind of work for the
Germans. He has not done a day's
Work for them yet, and does not in-
tend to. He refuses even the salute of
the commanding and camp officers,
and when any of them speak to hin1
dhiesgtuusrt,ns his head the other way in
A fortnight ago the Commandant
came through One °sail, asking if any
men knew anything about torpedo
boats or submarines or any branch of
engineering, offering to remunerate
there well roe their services. Not one
• man volunteered.
KEEP oPncnns CONFINED.
The lot of the non-commissioned
Otficen is eemeeially hard. They aro
hot supposed to return to England if
they have the use of their tongue, be-
came, the Germans argue, they could
even sit itt a chair and drill recruits.
They are kept in close confinement,
and are not allowed to See anything
but the sky above and the earth be-
neath, until they volunteer to work
for the enerne.
