Harding, calling his attention to the lad’s noble sacrifice and true scout spirit. The President at once replied thanking the writers for calling his attention to -the incident and asking them to convey both his sympathy and congratulations to the bereaved parents. Just a scout!

It was ejear to them that idolatry was tottering before the pow er of the gospel. They were not in terested particularly in the matter from a religious standpoint, but be cause it was undermining the princi pal business of the city. (2) The method (vv. 25-29). Demetrius, a leading business man, whose business was the stay of others o( a similar nature, called a meeting and stated that much people had turned from idolatry and that the market for their wares was materially weakening. He appealed to his fellows (a) -on the ground of business, saying'“This, our craft, is in danger of being set At naught,” (v. 27). (b) On the ground of religious prejudice. He spld “The temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised” (v. 27), He be came quite religious when be saw ft)fit his business was being Interfered with. His speech gained his end; the whole crowd was enraged and yelled in unison, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians.” The mob was quieted by the tact and good judgment of the town clerk.
