"REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINKE'S SUN- DAY SERMON, Subject: “The City of Ephesus.” TrxT: “Great is Diana of the Ephesians.” w Acts xix., 4, Wo have landed this morning at Smyrna, a city of Asiatic Turkey. One of the seven | churches of Asia once stood here. You read | in Revelation, write,” It is a city that has often been | shaken by earthquake, swept by conflagra- | tion, blasted by plagues and butchered by 1 | | war, and here Bishop Polycarp stood in a crowded amphitheater and When he was asked to give up the advocacy of the Chris tian religion and save himself from martyr. dom, the proconsul saying, ‘Swear and 1 release thee; reproach Christ,” replied, “Eighty and six years have [ served Him, and He never did me wrong: how then can | revile my King and Saviour!” When he was brought to the flrs into | which he was about to be thrust, and the of | ficials were about to fasten him to the stake | he said: “Let mo remain as I am, for He | who giveth me strength to sustain the fire | will enable me also without your securing me with nails to remain unmoved in the fire History says the fires refused to con- sume him, and under the wind the flames bent outward so that they did not touch his person, and therefore he was slain by swords and spears. One cypress bending over his | grave is the only monument to Bishop Poly- carp. But weare on the way to the city of Ephe- sus, about fifty miles from Smyrna. We are advised not to go to Ephesus. The bandits in that region have had an ugly practice of cutting off the ears of travelers and sending these specimens of ears down to Bmyroa, demanding a ransom. The ban dits suggest to the friends of the persons from whom the ears have been subtracted that if they would like to have the rest of the body they will please send an appropriate sum of money. If the money is not sent the mutilated prisoners will be assassinated One traveler was carried off to the robber's den, and $7500 was paid for his rescue, The | bandits were caught and beheaded, and | pictures of these ghastly heads are on sale in the shops of Smyrna for any person who may desire to have something to look at on ! their way to Ephesus. There have been cases where ten and twenty and thirty and forty thousand dollars bave been demanded by these brigands, We did not feel }ike putting our friends to such expense, and it was suggested that we had better omit Ephesus. But that would have been a disappointment from which we would never recover We must Ephesus associated with the most wonderful apostolic scenes, We hire a special railway train, and in about an hour and a half we arrive at the city of Ephesus which was called “The Great Metropolis of Asia.” and “One of the Eves of Asia,” and "The Empress of Ionia ™ tt ¢ capi- tal of all learning and magnificence. Here, ! as | said, was one of the seven churches of | Asia, and first of all we visit the ru church where once an ecumemcal council two thousand ministers of religion was held Mark the fulfillment of the prophecy, Of the seven churches of Asia four were con mended in the Book of Revelation and three were doomed, The cities having the four commended churches still stand; the cities having the three doomed churches are wiped out, It occurred just as the Bible sai ¥ would occur, Drive on and you come to the theatre, which was 6680 feet from wall to wal capable of holding 56.700 spectators. Here and there the walls arise almost unbroken, but for the most part the building is down As I took my place at the centre of this theatre and looked around at its broken lay ers of stone, gallery upon gallery. gallery upon gallery, and piled up into the bleak skies of that winter day, and thought that every hand that swung a trowel on those walls, and every foot that trod those stairs, and every eye that gazed on that amphi theatre, and every voice that greeted the combatants in that arena had gone out of hearing and sight for ages on ages, I felt a thrill of interest that almost penetrated mo | amid the ruins Standing there we could not forget that in that building once assembled a riotous throng for Pauls condemnation, because what he preached collided with the idolatry of their national goddess. Paul tried to get into that theatre and address the excited multitude, but his friends beld him back, lest be be torn to pieces by the mob, and the re- corer of the city had to read the riot act among the people who had shrieked for two mortal hours till their throats were sore and they were biack in the face, “Great is Diana of the Ephesian Now of it NN nto the Stadinm # and appointments are le hat a stupendous piace it must have whet used for foot-races and for fights with w It was a building 680 feet long by 2% feet wide. Paul refers to what transpired there in the way of spectacle when he says, “We have been made a spec tacle.” “Yes,” Paul save “1 have fought with beasts at Ephesus” an expression usually taken as figurative, but 1 suppose it was literally true, for one of the amuse ments in that Sta jum was to put a disliked man in the arena with a hungry lion or tiger or panther, and jet the fight go until either the man or the beast or both were slain It must have been great fun for these haters of Christiznity to hear that on the morrow in the Stadium in Ephesus the mis sionsry Paul would, in the presence of the | crowded galleries, fight a hungry lion. The peopie were early there to get the best seats, and a more slert and enthusiastic crowd never assemubled. They took their dinner withthem. And was there ever a more un- equal combat proposed? Paul, according to | tradition, soall, crooked backed and weak eyed, but the grandest man in sixty cen turies, is led to the center as the people shout “There he comes, the preacher who has nearly ruined our religion. The lon will make but a brief mouthfal of him.” It is plain that all the sympathies of that crowd are with the Mon In one of the underground rooms I bear the growl of the wild beasts, They have been kopt for several | days without food or water in order that they | may be especially ravenous and bloodthirsty, What chance is there for Paul? But you cannot tell by a man's size or looks how stout a blow he can strike or how keen a blade he can thrust, Withess, heaven and sarth and | hell, this struggle of Paul with a wild beast, The coolest man in the Stadium is Paul. | What has he to fear? He bas defied all the powers, earthly and infernal, and if his body i tumble under the foot and tooth of the wild beast, bis soul will only the sooner find dis euthrallment. But it is his duty, as far as possible, to preserve his life, Now, | hear the bolt of the wild beast's door shoved back, and the whole audience rise to their feet as the fierce brute spriegs | for the arena and toward ita small easupan, !

Our companion, Dr, Louis Klopsch now the publisher of the Christian Herald, had gone out on some explorations of his own, and through the gate where Paul had walked again and again, yet where no man unaccompanied should adventure now. But after some time had passed and every min- ute seemed as long as an hour, and we had time to imagine everything horrible in the way of robbery and assassination, the lost traveler appeared, to receive from our entire party a volley ot expostulation for the arousal of so many anxietios, In the midst of this city of Ephesus once flonted an artificial lake, brilliant with painted boats, and through the river Cayster t was corinected with the sea, and ships on all parts of the known earth floated in and out, carrying on a commerce which made Ephesus the envy of the world, Great was Ephesus! Its gymnasia, its kippodrome, its odeon, its athenmum, its forum, its aque duots (whose skeletons are still drawn along the city), its towers, its Castle of Hadrian, ts quarries, which were the granite cradle of cities; its temples, built to pony to Min- erva, to Neptune, to Mercury, to Bacchus, to Hercules, to Cassar, to Fortune, to Jupit er Olympus, What history and poetry and chisel and canvas have not presented has come up at the call of archmologists’ powder blast and crowbar But [ have now to unvell the chief wonder of this chiefest of cities, In 1563, under the mtronage of the English Government, Mr. Wood, the explorer, began at Ephesus | to feel nlong under the ground at great depths for roads, for walls, for towers, and here it is—that for which Ephesus was more celebrated than all else besides—the temple | of the goddess Diana, called the sixth wonder and in 1880 wa stood amid the transfixed by its sculpture and confounded at what was the greatest temple of idolatry in all time As 1 sat on apiece of one of its fallen col- umus 1 sald, “What earthquake rocked it flown, or what hurricane pushed it to the earth, or under what strong wine of ceatar jes did the giant stagger and fall” There have been seven temples of Diana, the ruins of each contributing something for the its architectural successors Two bundred and twenty years was this last Sample in construction. Twice as long as the United States have stood was shat tem- ple in building, It was nearly twice as large as Bt, Paul's Cathedral London. Lest it should be disturbed by sarthquakes, which have always boen fond of making those re gions their playground, the temple was built { on a marsh, which was made firm by layers of charcoal, covered by fleeces of wool. The stone came from the quarry near by After it was decreed to build the temple it was thought it would be necessary to bring the bullding stone from other lands, but one day a shepherd by the name of Pixodorus, | while watching his flocks, saw two rams | fighting, and as they missed the interlocking of their horns and one fell his horn knocked a splinter from the rock and showed by that splinter the lustrous whiteness of the rook bepherd ran to the city with a plece of that stone, which revealed a quarry from which place the tetapie was built, and every mouth in all ages the Mavor of Ephesus goes to that quarry to offer sacri the memory discovered this wealth of the cities of in removing the great stones from the quarry to their destined places in the temple it was necessary, in order to keep the wheels, which were twelve feet in diameter, from sinking deep into the earth under the un paralicled heft, that a frames of timbers be arranged over which the wheels rolled. To put the immense block of marble in its place yver the doorway of one of these temples was 30 vast and difficu’t an undertaking that | the architect at one tims gave it up, and in his chagrin attemptod suicide, but one night in his sieep he dreamed that the stons had settled to the right place, and the pext day | be found that the great block of martde had, | by its own weight, settled to the right place, Thes since fices to ff that shepherd who source of splendor and I Asia Minor The temple of Diana was four hundred and twenty-five feet loag by two hundred and twenty five feet wide, All Asia was taxed to pay for it. It had one hundred and twenty-seven pillars, each sixty feet high, and each the gift of a king, and insoribed with the name of the donor, Now you sw the mean ng of that passage in Hevelation, Just as a king presenting one of these pillars to the Temple of Diana bad his own name chiseled on it and the name of his own country, so says Christ, “Him that over cometh will | make a pillar in the temple of | My God, and I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My | God, which is New Jerusalem, and 1 will write upon Him My new name ™ How sug gestive and beautiful! In addition to those pillars that 1 climbed over while amid the ruins of Diana's temple, 1 saw afterward eight of pillars at Constantinople, to which city they had been removed, and are now a part of the Mosque of St. Sophia. Those eight columns are all green jasper, but some of those which stood in Diana's temples at Ephesus were fairly ! drenched with brilliant colors. Costly met als stood up in various parts of the temple, where they could cateh the fullest flush of thesun. A flight of stairs was carved out of one grapevine, Doors of cypress wood, which had been kept in glues for years and bordered with bronze in bas relief, swung against pillars of brass snd resounded with echo upon echo, caught up and sent on and hurled back through the corridors In that building stood an image of Diana, the goddess. The impression was abroad as the Bible records, that that image had dropped plumb out of heaven into that temple, and the sculptors who really made the image were put to death, so that they could not testify of its human manufacture and #0 deny Its celestial origin. It was thought by intelligent people that the ma. terial from which this idol was formed might | have dropped ont of heaven as an aerolite We have soon in the British museum, and in universities of our own west, blocks of stone hurled off from other worlds, These aero. lites wero seers to fall, and witnesses have gone to the landing places, and scientists have provounced them tu Le the product of other worlds But the material out of which the image | of Diana was fashioned contradicts that | potion.

But ered toem’ a little while, and while she kept them from arrest she could not change their hearts and the guilty remained guilty But, our God in Jesus Christ is a refuge into which we may fly from all our sins and all our pur. suers, and not only be sale for time, but safe for eternity, and the guilt Is pardoned and the nature is transformed.

Lesson Text: "Christ Betrayed” John avi, 1-18-Golden Text; Mark xiv, 41--Com- mentary. —————— 1. “When Jesus had spoken these words Ho went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, wheres was a garden, into which He entered, and His desciplos,” Matthew and Mark say that the sung » hymn; they also give the name | the gar. den, Gethsemane, and state that on the way thither Josus foretold that upon that very night they would all forsake Him, (Math xxvil., 80-90; Mark, xiv., 2682) This going forth of Jesus from the city where He should have been proclaimed king reminds us of the flight of David from the same city and over the same brook, rejected by his people und driven out by his own son. But just ns surely as David was welcomed back to his city and throne so will Jesus be in due time. 2 “And Judas also, which betrayed Him knew the place; for Jesus ofttimes restored thither with His disciples.” In chapter vii “Vill, 1, we read that “Every man unto his own house; Jesus went unto the Mougt of Olives.” This He did very often, and therefore Judas knew the place well. On this occasion, Jesus and the orm having entered the gar len, Hoe left eight of them and took Peter, James and John a lite tie farther, then leaving them with instruc. tions to watch and pray, He went alone into the agonies of that night, as rcoorded by Matthew, Mark and Luke 4. “Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the « priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons,’ Matthew and Mark speak of a great multitude with swords and staves (Math, xxvi., 47; Mark xiv., 43). Judas had lsft the supper chamber before the discourse, and probably at the close of the passover feast and before the institution of the supper While the bearing the glorious words exun's dis course and prayer Judas was basy obtaining the band by which 0 arrest Him whom he bad professed to love above all others 4. "Jesus therefore knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth and said unto them, Whom sek ye! It is one of the greatest mercies of our lives that we know not what shall be on the morrow (Jas, v., 14), nor even what the next hour may ing to us.
