A LETTER ON CHRISTIAN
LIVING
I
International Sunday School
Lesson for Dec. 1, 1946
Golden Text: “Finally, be
strong in the Lord, and in the |
strength of his might.”—Epe- •
•sians 6:10.
Lesson Text: Acts 19:23-30,
35-41; Ephesians 6 13-18-
Our last lesson concerned
Paul’s visit to Corinth while on
his second missionary journey.
He departed from this Grecian
city in peace and quiet, quite un- j
like his departure from some ■
other cities. From Corinth, Paul
went to Ephesus, where he stay
ed for a brief period, and left
Aquilla and Priscilla there, while
he proceeded to Jerusalem.
For some reason, either while
at Corinth, or shortly thereaft
er, Paul had undertaken a vow,
to keep which he desired to
spend the Passover in Jerusa-!
lem. This is why he did not tar-I
ry at Ephesus very long. After
spending a little while in Jeru-I
salem, Paul went to Antioch in
Syria, where lived the group of I
Christians from which he and'
Barnabas had drawn to embark!
upon their missionary enter- 1
prises. Both at Jerusalem and at
Antioch, Paul reported the won
derful success which had come;
to his labors.
It was not very long, however,
before Paul set out from Antioch
on his third missionary tour. By
way of the Cilician gates and
Tarsus, he revisited the churches
established in Galatia and Phry
gia on his first tour, thus keep
ing in touch with his converts
and friends in these regions.
Then he headed westward to
Ephesus, making in this city his
longest stay, for he continued
there a space of three years.
Ephesus was a great commer
cial center at the time and a
city of importance. Here was lo
cated the Temple of Diana, rec
ognized as one of the seven won
ders of the ancient world. It was
constructed of white marble, i
measing 342 by 163 feet, and
having 100 columns over 55 feet
high, each the gift of a king.
Ephesus became renowned in
early Christians circles and ac
cording to tradition was the bur
ial place of the apostle John, the
author Luke and Timothy.
Paul began his work in Ephe
sus, as in other cities, with an
effort to carry his message to
the people of his own race. For
three months. Paul preached in

the synagogue of Ephesus con
cerning the Kingdom of God,
contrasting the purity reason
and holiness of this ideal state
with the licentiousness, supersti
tion and wrong of heathen be
liefs and practices.
He made progress in winning
souls but because of opposition
from some of the Jews, finally
abandoned the synagogue and
went with his disciples to the
school of Tyrannus where he
taught two years. During this
period, Paul probably made fre
quent excursions into the outly
ing territory for we are told that
all that dwelt in Asia Minor
heard the word and various
churches were established, seven
of which are mentioned in Rev- |
elations.
Paul’s ministry was blessed by!
various manifestations of divine
approval, rewarding the faith of!
those who believed. These occur
rences led sorcerers and magi-;
cians to connect their magical
art with the name of Jesus. We I
have an account of the discom-|
liture of 2 such magicians. Un
der the influence of Paul’s work,
many of those who practiced the.
secret arts realized their insuf-!
ficiency and inadequacy and
staged a great bonfire of valu
able books about the magic art. i
Later, while Paul was a pris- j
oner at Rome, he wrote a letter
to the Christians at Ephesus,
exhorting them to live a life
worthy of a Christian. The first
three chapters of the letter are
doctrinal, dealing with Christian
truth while the last three chap
ters are practical, dealing with
the Christian life, wherein the
virtues of purity and holiness
are emphasized.
Probably one of the best known
portions of this letter is the ref
erence given for our considera
tion—a description of the Chris
tion’s armor.
“First, the girdle of truth,
There is no safety in a lie.
Second, the breastplate of right
eousness.
The right life is the only safe
life.
Third, the sandals of peace.
Peace has more victories than
war.
Fourth, the shield of faith.
‘I will trust and not be afraid.’
Fifth, the helmet of salvation.
The Christian life is the fear
less life.
Sixth, the sword of the Spirit.
The true sword is the Word of
God.
Seventh, the habit of prayer.
Prayer will always kill sin.”

HER SECRET
A widow, who was the owner
of a small shop in Aberdeen, or
perhaps it was Glasgow, was us
ually escorted home by an ad
mirer who carried the cash bag
that contained the day’s re
ceipts. It was generally heavy.
“You must be doin’ weel,” said
the man frequently.
“Oh, ay,” the lady would re
ply, “it’s a guid bit business.”
But she did not disclose the
fact that besides the moderate
takings, the bag contained the
counter weights.
The canny lover only discov
ed that fact after marriage.
