Thoughts -Do not be alarmed beeause
of the fiery speeches of wicked mon, or
because of the tumults caused by the
faithful preaching of the gospel; these
may be God's ways of widening the cir-
cle of listeners. Shun covetousness, for
it is one of Satan's best devices for the
ruin of human souls. Do not needlessly
rush into danger. Great wisdom should
be used in meeting and overthrowing er-
ror, lest the people be driven from the
truth instead of being won by the truth.
The religion of Chriet distorbs false re-
ligions. Worldings and oven infidela of-

The Riot of Aphesuse-eActa 19: 23.
Acts 10: 23-30, 35.41.
COMMENTARY, - 1, Demetrius
causing a tumult (vs. 23-27. 23. Cone
eerning the Way (R.V.)-The "Way"
was a distillate° nem for the Chrts-
Man religion. 24. Demetrius -Demetrius was a leading spirit among the
Ephesiart /shrine -makers, and may
have been a wholesale dealer, execut-
ing orders for the shrines and "em-
ploying artisans who reeeived lucra-
tive wages for their labor." Shrines
tor Diana -The shrin.es were made of
woud or metal and were little ineages
or modelle of the temple Of Diana, con-
taining an image of the goddess. No
=all gain -They were sold to the
people of Ephesus and to the many
strangers who visited the city, and
were also sent to distant cittee for
sale, "The great anual festival of
Diana took place in the month of
May, -when the rude wooden image
of the goddess was exhibited to the
multitude, and in her honor games
and dramas were publicly celebrated.
Of this opportune occasiou Demetrius
took advantage to stir up the idle and
excitable Greek populece."-Butler.
25, -Called together -Demetrius col-
lected all the workmen who were con-
nected with is business, and very
artfully aroused their passions, 25.
Moreover, etc. -The presetting of
Paul, the growth of the church and
the advancing civilization of that time
were making inroads upon idel wor-
ship, and the sale of the /shrines was
deereasing. 27. Craft is in danger -
In his speech Demetrius declared that
their craft or trade was in danger of
being brought into disrepute, and then
unwittingly paid a glowing tribute to
the Apostle Paul and the effectiveness
of the gospel. "The cause of the tu-
mult was covetousness wider the
guise of religion." Greed and gain
blind men to the highest interests of
mankind. This ts true of the' liquor
dealer; and many politicians and
good citizens give their silent endorse-
ment to the liquor traffic, because
they fear their "craft" will be in dan-
ger if they oppitee the iniquitous busi-
ness; but Christians should speak out
by voice and vote against this soul-
destroying evil.
Companions Seized (vs,
28-39'.) 28. Full of/ wrath -The ad-
dress of Demetrius was effective. The
men to whose worldly interests he had
appealed responded with loud cries,
."Great is Diana of the Ephesians."
The design of this clamor was to raise
a persecution against Paul, and thus
serve their own interests. 29. Con-
fusion -All the people rushed to the
theatre, in which public meetings
were often held. As the apostle him-
self, at the moment, could not be
found, his attendants were violent-
ly dragged along by the multitude. -
Lange. Gaius-He had lived at Cor-
inth, and had entertained Paul at his
house ( or. 1: 14; Rom. 1623). Aries
tarchus-He attended Paul to Rome,
and was there a prisoner with him
(CoL 4:10.)
30. Would have entered -Paul was
fearless and ready to stand in the fore-
front of -danger. He no doubt hoped to
be able to quell the outbreak. Suffered
him not -His life was too precious to
'be thus risked. It appears that Paul lis-
' toned to the entreaties of the dieciples
'on this occasion; at other times he did
not (Acts21. e0-14). While Paul did not
fear mobs or teven death, yet he wisely
• 'yielded to persuasion and did not risk
his life when there was no nec,essity for
so doing'.
• • 111. The uproar increasing (vs. 31-34).
The' riot continued with unabated fury
for two hours. The leading men of the
, city urged Pain not to enter the thea-
tre. When Alexander undertook to speak
the naultitude learned he sevas a Jew
and would not permit him to do so.
There was a general prejudice against
the jews, and they were disposed to
charge the whole difficulty upon them,
as they considered Christians to be but
a sect of the Jew. They were, therefore,
indigna,nt and excited, and indiscrimin-
ate in their wrath and unwilling to lis-
ten to any defence.
Ir. The town clerk's speech (vs. 35-
41). 35. The townolerk-This official
' was a very important person. "He was
:authorized to preside over public assem-
blies, and he stood next in rank to the
.niunicipalehief, and performed his du-
ties during the absence or on the death
eof that officer." -Hackett. had •appeas-
' ed -His influence was so great that the
mob became quiet and gave him a hear-
ing. He said -The speech is full of tact
and ability and shows that the man was
well qualified to fill the high office he
held. .A. worshippere-"Tmeple-keeper."-
R. V. Literally, temple -sweeper. The
name no doubt was first used to imply
that any *Mee in the service of so mag-
nificent a goddess was a grand distinc-
tion. --Cent. Bib. The image, ete. -This
sacred image which was believed to have
fallen down from Jupiter was "a rude
• wooden figure nearly the shape of a
mummy." 36. Do nothing rashly- They
had performed a very rash act in seiz-
ing two persons against whom it ap-
pears they cated take no proceedings. 37.
Neither robbers of temples (R. •V'.) -"As
the temple at Ephesus had a great trea-
suro-ohamber, the offence might not
have been unknown among them." Nor
blasphemers --Thus we ace that the lang-
uage of Paul and his companions had
been guarded. The general effect 4)f
their preaching was to overthrow idol-
atry,but they had refrained from de-
nunciation and opprebrious epithets. To
have taken any other course would have,
deprived them of all thence of a hear -
nig. 88. Courts are open (It. V.) ---"It is
a metey of God when a wise governnient
oxide, which is Able t� maintain law
end order." 39. Other matters -Any-
thing that pertains to phblie affairs.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
The Clamor of the Ephesians.
1, The whole city filled with confus-
ion. Ephesus in Asia Minor was a com-
mercial centre, the resort for all Asia'
for the great gamee; the arts and amuse-
ments of it -
people.. Paul
wa tarrying at Ephesus until Pentecost
(1 Cor, 16. 8). It was spring and Ephesus
would be thronged with etrongers come
to attend the great festival of Diana
which occurred the first of May. The
citizens would be much in the streets,
filled with excitenteut. The shrine mak-
ers would derive much from selling the
iniages of Diana and models of the
great temple, ono of the seven wonders
of the world. The possession of these,
they believed, had the power of a charm
and the protection of the goddess. They
believed that the image of Diana came
drove from heaven. The heathen rulers,
to help the people in the belief, banish -
'ed or slew the artists who made them,
Is there any way in which we are like
these superstitious Ephosians? Do we
consider it unlucky to spill salt? Do are
dislike to begin any work on Friday ?
Do we refuse to sit at a table where
there are thirteen? Do we take eare that
we look at the new moon over our right
shoulder? Are svo full of terror if a dog
howls? If we believe in "luck" instead,
of in Jesus Christ we are like these sup.
erstitious heathen.
IL Gaius and Aristarchus caught.
Here is evidence "that the gospel has
become a power in the great city of
Ephesus, and itt the province of which
it was the centre. Probably these men
had seen the destruction of the valuable
Ephesian lettersand feared that their
trade were placed in jeopardy. It is
noteworthy that the appeal of Deme-
trius was made first to the cupidity
of the craftsmen, and then he sought
to sustain it by rousing their supersti-
tion into fanatical hatred. The love of
money was the root of their evil intent,
their uproar and opposition. Upon this
was grafted the sturdy- talk of religious
rancor?' ss
III. The theatre. No .Christian should
11; any time, under any circumstances,
go to a theatre to witness a play acted.
Here are twelve reasons against it: 1.
It is e. worldry pleasure, and we are
commanded, "Be not conformed to this
world" (Rom. 12: 2). 2. The theatre
had its rise in pagan worship. 3. It
appeals to the imagination, the senses
and the passions; noel° the reason nor
to the moral sense. 4. It deadens the
sensibilities and the conscience by the
display of unreal crime'suffering and
counterfeit emotion. 5. Its spirit al-
ways has been and is corrupt. Beside
the theatre are the liquor seloons and
the brothels. 6. lts language. is fre-
quently suggestive of impurity. The
command is, "Keep thyself pure." 7. It
does not atm to instruct nor to elevate,
but to amuse. 8. It is .nob a worthy
profession, and no pere, noble Chris-
tian will ever engage in a business
which demands that its pursuers shall
seem to be What. they are not, 9. Most
play actors are abandoned characters.
In the Roman republic he who adopted
the profession of an actor was by law
'considered disreputable rid not allowed
to hold any honorable office. 10, "If
any company were to be so virtuous as
not to act any but virtuous plays they
would* soon have to play to empty
benches:" 11. "There is not in exist-
ence in any language a sufficient num-
ber of perfectly unexceptional plays to
constitute such a stock for any com-
pany of virtuous performers as to en-
able them to maintain sufficient var-
iety." 12. The early church condemned
the the theatre unsparingly. All modern
evangelical churches discountenance it'or
consider it destructive to spiritual life.

Mr. Labelle swore that the city was

size, Danforth flagstone, were respec-

absolutely no difference in quality be-

news. "Fort Jackson and, Danforth stone
are of precisely the same formation.
They do not come out of the sanm quer-.°

and Vince Callbano, who came afeer the
money, was shot by the police. Ile re-

lee told the police yesterday, through
an interpreter, that he came to Edmon-

that he has been in Canada about four-
teen months.
He has all the earmarks of a gen-
uine bad man and he is being held

The occupants of the store immediate-
ly 'phoned the city police, but before
an officer arrived the man had disap-
peered dowt Jasper east and along

discharging his revolver carelessly in sev-
eral directions. The Royal Northwest

time he has passed the barracks, and
the officers stetted in hot pursuit.

SPAIN TO
CRUSH MOORS.
Whole Sea Force Ordered to Con-
centrate at Melilla.
Madrid, Aug. 16. -All the vessels .of
the Spanish navy have received orders
to concentrate at Melilla, eterocco,where
a Spanish force of some 38,000 men, un-
der the conimand of General Maine, is
confronted' by a strong gathering of
Moors, who resent Spain's punitive
expedition for the murder by the Moors
of eight Spanish laborers.
AN ALL -DAY ATTACK.

16. -The Moors who surround the Span-
ish garrison here kept up an incessant
attack all day reshursda,y. itt the even-
ing, however, they withdrew to the hills
and built great fires, by the light of
which they continued their fusilade on
the town and garrison.
Ono by ono the telegraph wires con-
necting Alhucemas and eeuta with
Pollen de la Remora have been cut by
the Moorish bullets, and ib is probable
that the garrison here -will soon be com-
pletely isolated. There is a chance, hose -
men, that the telegraph employees will
succeed in repairing the lines. The
Moors have had many men killed or
wounded.
MINISTERIAL CRISIS.
Madrid, Aug. 16. -The Herald° to -day
says a Ministerial crisis is possible be-
tween the Minister of the Interior and
the Minister of War, who during the
recent disorders at Barcelona, issued
iiistrUctions diametrically opposed.
Writing in a recent issue of the Loh -
don Daily Chroniehie Charles Rudy
gives the following summery of the
cense of the preeent trouble in Morocco.
Of the Spanish possessions in Afriea,
the two most important are MOIRA and
Ceuta,' the former near the Algerian
frontier, the latex' opposite Gibraltar;
mn botheplaces agwell as in the Zefferin
blends, Alhucemas, and the Penon do
la Romora-the Spanish authorities have
established convict prisons. Consequent-
ly the purpose served by the colonies is
simply and solely that of harboring
erimimes, and no endeavor was ever
made, until quite recently, to use these
possessions as a means of penetration
into the interior of the Riff. Pub sinte

it new importance, so much so in fact,
that tWo railway lines have Itteeti even-
ed, eonnecting the town with the mines

outburst of hostilities.
AGAINST CRUELTY.
No Docked Horses in Qucen Alex-
andra's Stable.
(Vancouver Sunset.)
For those who imagine it is neces-
-sary to dock horses' tails and mutil-
ete their manes in order to be fash-
ionable the action, of er Majesty,
Queen Alexandra. in refusing a gift
of horses thus mutilated, Is commend-
ed for consideration.
A number et Oanadtan ladies pre-
sented the Queen with a pair of beau-
tiful drivers, which when putehased
bore natural manes and tails. They '
were put in charge of a veterinary
surgeon for transmission to ;their
august recipient. The veterinary,
with the officiousness which character.
lees a few of the profession, on his
own responsibility docked the tails
and cropped the manes of the horses.
When Queen, Alexandra found their
condition she refused to accept the
gift and the horses were returned to
Canada. In the end the veterinary
was obliged to replace the horses at
his own expense.
The suggestion 1* docking nearly
always proceeds from a voteirinary.
It is it veterinary's business to out
and blister. He likes to encourage
the cutting. It means money to him.
Docking a horse's tell is a surgieal
operation. Many people imagine it
merely involves the cutting of the
hair. But that is not all. 'Severe'
joints of the tail bone are removed.
The tail has to be skinned. It is a
hotribly cruel and cowardly Opera-
tidn. The horse is strapped and tied
so that he cannot move. He is not
given any anaesthetic. The work of
cutting out the bone and sewing up
the wound is dol.() while the poor ani-
mal is in full possesion of his _senses.
His sufferings are exquisite. The op-
eration ie just about the same as that
of cutting off a man's leg at the ankle
joint without anaesthetics. After the
poor animal has beeh thus maltreat-
ed he must be kept blanketed in all
sorts -of weather to protect him from,
flies, otherwise he suffers the tor-
ments of Gehenna.
Sometimes the wound is a long time
healing. in warm weather it is liable
to suppurate. Flies get into it, para.
sites breed in it, and the only result
is to spoil the horse's appearance. A
horse with it docked tail is a travel-
ing, living illustration of some man's
meatless and cowardice.
ileal horse lovers all over the world
will more then ever henor and re,:
sPeet Queen Alexandra for her wo-
manly and courageous stand against
thiS Winn= practice. The argument
that it niust be done beeause it is
fashionable no longer hasa leg to
stand on. If the first stable in the
itritish Empire says it is not fash-
ionable, who is there to say it IsP
The practice ehottld be prohibited by
law in order that. those who will not
profit by tier Majesty's gentle ex-
ample, might be compelled to desist
from this cruel and ttilelsets mutilation.
