He is a humble deacon of the church I We

How had rhilip then brought about ing ol
this great gladness -i. 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 \

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
