A guide accompanied us everywhere we went and talked for us, and as a party we kept him busy. One beautiful, clear day we all went to Ephesus, another noted place of Bible times. The city once had a port and landing place for vessels, and its location at one time was such as to command great commerce; but these days the city is gone, and no port is to be seen; instead there are marshes which breed fever and disease, and every one who visits there fears to remain long lest the disease germ be taken into the system. The people of Ephesus were given to the worship of idols, and not far from there was a temple called “the temple of Diana.” Now Diana was a goddess, and the people thought she had come down from heaven; and they imagined she had the power to watch over all of their streams, and their wealth too. Well, in this temple were many beautiful things, for the wealthy people had beautiful gold and silver images made and placed there in honor of the great goddess, “whom all Asia and the world worshipeth.” Each year there was a great display made of the images, for they were carried in a procession so that everybody could see them. The making of shrines and images became a great business, and many people were engaged in the work, and they grew rich from the proceeds. Paul was a missionary in the true sense. He never failed to tell the people wherever he went to believe on the Lord. You know from Athens he went to Corinth, and from there to the city I have been telling you about. We read that he found disciples at this place and that he began asking them questions. He said to them, “Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?” And they told Paul that they had never heard of such a thing before. Immediately Paul told them they should believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Quite willing were they to accept what Paul had told them, and after that were baptized. Then Paul laid his hands upon them, and about twelve disciples—quite a body of workers for the Lord—received the Holy Ghost, and after this they talked and prophesied.
