News from Williston
Some Countitt Have Surplus.
In these days, when talk of high
taxation and farms being sold fpr
taxe„ is heard on every hand, the
conclusion is naturally drawn that
counties are hard put to It to meet
expenses.
But such is not the case in all
counties, according to A. J. Beatie,
comptroller general, whose office has
been making settlement* with county
officers.
*
In one or two counties, Mr. Beattie
says, there is what in reality amounts
to a surplus.
“Some of the counties have bor
rower! no money this year to run *.n,
and they have large amounts, due for
taxes, uncollected. Soon taxes for
1931 will be coming in, and 'these
taxes will meet the expenses of the
present year, so that, in reality, the
amount uncollected is a surplus.
“Such a condition, .to my mind,
show* that a-sessments ar e too high.
This condition has been found in
only a few counties. Taxes should
merely balance expenses. When taxes
bring in a larger amount than is need
ed. and what amount* to a -urplu* is
accumulated, assessments are too
high. It is wrung, in my opinion, for
a county to levy a tax greater than
is needed to meet the expenses of
that county.”
Mr. Beattie did not care to give
th e names of the countie* to which
he had leference.

1. Philip Preaching in Samaria
(vv. 5*S).
In taking the gospel to the Samari
tans we see the broadening of the
scope, of Christiauitj. Philip was one
of the seven so-called deacons. He
went to Samaria and preached Christ
showing that God’s purpose Included
these despised heople. Christ Is the
true message of the evangelist. Not
Christ as an ethical teacher or as an
example, but Christ as the Savior from
sin through the offering of himself on
the cross as a substitutionary ransom.
II. Philip Preaching to the Ethiopian
(Acts 8:28-89).
Following the preaching to the Sa-
marltnhs, the gospel was preached to
the Ethiopian who was In all proba
bility a Gentile. In his conversion we
see the gospel In Its outreach to the
ends of the esrth. »
L Philip meeting the Ethiopian
(vv. 28-90).
a. (saving work by divine direction.
(y. 26). The Lord cltled Philip away
from a great work In Samaria and
specifically directed him to this man.
The Spirit of God directed him to go
near, and join himself to the chariot
The tactful question put to the treas
urer gained him a seat by his side.
The mission which at first seemed so
unpromising was now clear.
b. An officer of state seeking the
way of salvation (vv. 27. 28). The
Ethiopian had been to Jerusalem to
worship. Despite his high official po
sition he was not ashamed of the
worship of God. The. Journey from
that far-off country required hardship
and expense, but to one whose soul
yearns after God thla Is all Joy.
c. A providential meeting in the des
ert (vJ. 29. 80). The coming together
of these two men waa clearly the pre
determined way of God.
2. Philip preaching to the Ethiopian
(vv. 30-35).
a. The Ethiopian's employment on
the way (r. 80). He was reading the
-Word of God. The particular portion
was the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah.
A roost excellent way to spend one’s
time while traveling la to read God’s
Word. It la thrdhgh God's Word that
the Individual ia shown the way of life.
b. The need of an Interpreter
(v. 31). The Ethtoplah was reading
ot.ejof the clearest testimonies to the
Messhih In the Old Testament, yet he
was unable to understand It. The
Ethiopian,, a great statesman, needed
an Interpreter of the Scriptures. The
gospel needs to be experienced before
one can be a witness to its saving pow
er. The human mind In Its natural
state Is blind to spiritual things, mak
ing the work of an evangelist indis
pensable. Preaching the Word of God
will always be necessary. God has
designed that through the foolishness
of preaching, men shall be saved. Val
uable. Indeed, as the Bible Is In the
bauds of men. the touch aod Influenoe
of the believlhg man who has experi
enced the work of God In his own
heart Is needed.
e. Philip’s message (vv. 32-35). He
began at the scripture which the
Ethiopian was reading and preached
unto him Jesus. This shows us that
the person' presented in the fifty-third
chapter of Isaiah as suffering in the
stead of others was Jesus Christ, also
that the central theme .of the preach
er’s message should be Christ crucified.
He did not preach Jesus as a great
teacher, hut as a Savior who had suf
fered and died In the stead of sinners.
The vicarious atonejnent Is e. note
which Is at the very heart of the
message of every evangelist
S. Philip baptized the Ethiopian
(vy. 36-38). A1 a result of Philip’s
preaching, the eunuch proposed bap
tism. When Christ Is truly received
men will desire to confess 151m fn
baptism. Where this desire is lacking
the gospel, in Its fullness Is evidently
not preached. The Ethiopian might
have offered many excuses as to why
he should neglect this Important ordi
nance. but like every man.who is hon
est before God. he was willing at any
cost to render obedience.
4. The Ethiopian rejoicing (v. 39).
Having been baptized, he went on his
way rejoicing. Confession of Christ
and obedience t<u«his Word always
brings Joy.
