is styled Neokoros, or "temple-keeper" (see Acts 19: 35, margin), as an official title of

honour. The Ephesian Diana differed from the Roman and the Greek Artemis, bearing

the attributes of the great mother goddess rather than the virgin.

One of the great capitals that reared its head high above the earth when Paul was the

object of Ephesian rage now stand within a few feet of the ground in the Ephesus room,

and students of geometrical drawing will be interested to notice, in the eye of the volute,

the pin points still visible, whereby the mason swung the curves of the Ionic volute of the

THE ROMAN GALLERY.--Here are portrait busts of Roman Emperors: Cæsar

Augustus, in whose reign Christ was born;  Tiberius Cæsar, whose "image and

superscription" was probably upon the "penny" shown to the Lord, and of whom the

Jews said, "We have no king but Cæsar"; Nero, under whom Paul was first a prisoner

and finally a martyr for the faith and for Christ; Titus, who as the General of his father's

army brought about the fall of Jerusalem.

THE ROOM OF GREEK AND LATIN INSCRIPTIONS.--There are two slabs here

that we should notice. One, No. 171, a Greek inscription from Thessalonica, contains

names of magistrates styled Politarchs, a local title quoted in Acts 17: 6, 8. The fact of

this being local and yet finding its place in the record of the Acts is one of those little

inspiration and accuracy of the Scriptures. The other slab is a cast of an inscription

which was set up over "the middle wall of partition", which divided the court of the

Let the reader open his Bible as he faces this slab, and there read the glorious

emancipation, access, and blessing that is recorded in Eph. 2:

Together, we have considered the antiquities of this Museum that have touched upon

practically every phase of Bible History. It seems fitting that one of the greatest facts of

the dispensation of the mystery should be so powerfully presented to our notice as we

take our leave of this wonderful collection of Bible evidences. Before we leave the

Museum, shall we not lift up our hearts in thanksgiving to God Who has caused so many

incontrovertible proofs of the trustworthiness and accuracy of His Holy Word to be

brought to light, just at the time when so-called Higher Criticism was apparently reducing

the verities of our faith to figments and fables. Our faith needs no such evidences; like

the blind man in John's Gospel, we know one thing, whatever else we may not know,

once we were blind, but now we see; nevertheless, we do not undervalue the Providence
