Yet nevertheless "Yes. his coming has been the occasion of emph such joy as the old city had never men's known. Who is he? What has he failin, brought?

Satrar'n? Let eiraol us piudy h'a method, compare it with can d< the method of him whose sehvant and lines, representative he was, and then see drean what lessons we may learn for our aroun selves. His ministry there had been destrc a two-fold ministry. It had been ad- lives dressed to the needs of new souls and chlldr bodies. He had first proclaimed the is not good news of the gospel. His whole not ip teaching to the man of Ethiopia a few of Ch verses father on is summed up in ehurcl one word, "He preached unto h?m oppor Jesus." So 1 think we may safely Once, conelude that was the sum and sub- young stance of his preaching here in Si- in a i maria. That message in itself himse brought joy. But that was not the He fo whole of his ministry. He told those ions t who were morally blind and deaf and hope, lame and diseased of Him who could mean; and would heal them. But also there eondit were others who needed help. There ('en were those who had physical needs, a stor Those who had never seen the sun, banqu who had never heard the vocies of lay in loved ones, or perhaps once having pose \ had these powers had lost them. Oth- the tl crs inert1 were wnose noaies nan tost, courni their power?poor, shaking, palsied Lazar hands, and crippled feet. To these went i also he had a mission. By the power The of the great Healer he brought health 2?ith ? and power to them also. And so the tin* jo city rejoiced because Christ in the womei person of his humble follower had offer come to them and had ministered to to alb their needs of soul and body. "Tliero did nc was much joy In the city." But per- ma a 1 haps Philip was wasting time in this the in physical part of his work ?this min- benefi istry to men's bodies. Perhaps he poor i should have confined his activities to , up crt preaching to men's souls. Perhaps he life, should have said to the poor fellow , death I bowed down under the weight of phy- lo' his sical infirmity, "My dear brother, en- ' vided dure with patience this your afflie- man c tion, and remember that when you rlble get to heaven it won't matter how door, much you suffered here on earth." I battle think the best way to answer that toils o question is to go back to the earthly becaui life of him whom Philip represented grndg and compare Philip's conduct with his ' societ; Master's. . The Bet us make ourselves self-invited weak, guests at a wedding feast in the little iy vie town of Cana. We notice that there despei is an anxious, worried look on the Our faces of the hosts.
