Many men owe thqw greatness to the teachings they reivim! at their niaqtjier’s knock, 1 one of these fittingly expressed his sentiments in these few words: “Whatever I am or ever hope to Ue. I owe to -my mother." To whom did We go f n- comfort in our childhood disapointments? To mother. To whom did we go for aid when we* \v'(A-e sick or hurt ? To mother.

That dav is the second Sunday in May. This year it falls on May 10th. The idea is to ren\embor M <:hor in some, special way—with a gift of flowers or candy or some other token of hive.

The Lord called Philip away from a great work In Samaria and specifi cally directed Him to this man. Abra- hamlike, he obeyed the divine com mand not knowing why be should leave tin* work in Samaria and go into a desert’'pinee. As he journeyed on by faith dip espied the state chariot of the Ethiopian treasurer. The Spirit pf («od directed him to go near and Join himself to the chariot. The tact- fni t question put to the treasurer gained him a seat by the side of this dignified officer. The mission which at first seemed so unpromising was now clear. 2. .'a Officer of State Seeking the Way of Salvation (vv. 27-2S). The Ethiopian had been to Jerusa lem to worship. Despite bis high offi cial position Ik* whs not ashamed off the worship of God. The journey from that far off country required much hard-diip and expense, luu t<< the one whose soul }earns after God, this is all Joy. fl. A Providential Meeting in the Desert (vv. 2'd-dO). . The coming together,of these two men was clearly the predetermined way of God. II. Philip Preaching- to the Eth : o- pian (vv. ffiihdini. 1.. I he Lit hit’tiian's ! ; l it on the Way (v. His occupation aftlie timp of tins ni**etii:g w..s reading the Word of God. At the invitation of the Ethiopian Philip Joined himself to the chariot and fouikf*him reading from tin* odd chapter of Isaiati. This is a most c\- cellent wa^^to sjw-nd one's time wldlo t ra veil rig] 2. The Absolute Need of n I'n^u her (v. .'ll). Tio* Ethiopian was reading, one of 'tic e.'eap st testimonies to tjie .Messiah in the Old Testament, yet lie was un- ahle to get anything out ( f it. ,'The fact that the Ethiopian, a great states man, needed an interpreter -of the Seriptur. >, even such a phyn passage as the odd chapter of Isaiah, shows the absolute net d of a preacher. 'I'ln* gos pel must he experiein-eil ^before on** cap beai witness t" its s.+ving p*'wcr. Ti>e human muol is blind to >(>iri;ual tilings, making the work <*! an evan gelist indispensable. If a/statesman ! of this rank wax unabl'e to grasp the meaning of stn h a i lear pas-age, it- should not he thought strange that for tlie rank and tile of men a’ guide .is needed, God has designed that through the foolishness of preaching the world shmild be saved. Preaching the Word' of God will always be necessary. d. Philip's Message (vv. d2 db). He began at the 'Scriptiirc-> which the Eth opk.n was reading and preael#cd unto him Jesus. This -dioe > us that the person represented in the odd chapter ot Isaiah as suffering In stead.of others was Je-us instead of Israel, also that the centra! theme of the preacher's • message should [,«■ Ji-sus lie did 1 not preach Jesus gs a great teacher, but as a Savior ' who had suffered and died instead of sin ners. He preached Him as the oti*- who luol ottered Himself as»a ransnin. III. Philip Baptized the Eth.opian (vv dtids). As a result of Philip's preaching the eunuch -proposed baptism. 'When (.’hrist Is truly preiiclied, m(*n natural > desire t*) confess Him In haptisng Where this feeling-is lacking, the gos pel In its fullness is evidently not preached. Th^j Ethiopian might have otfered 'pirffiy - *'» xeuses for neglecting this important ordinance, hvjt like every man who is honest before God. Ik* was willing at any cost to retidcr ■ obedience. ,Jlie pnxif that men realty believe in Jesus is their willingness to render obedience to Ills Word. It is faith .in Christ that saves, but th&se who have genuine faitli desire to seal It in baptism^ Having sequred from the Ethiopian the proper confession, Philip baptized him. IV. The Ethiopian Rejoicing.^v.-89). Confession of Christ always brings joy. Those who obey the command ment of the Lord can go on their way rejoicing.
