THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1938 THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. ........... IMPROVED............. UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAY I CHOOL Lesson S By REV. HAROLD L LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. OUR COMIC SECTION Lesson for August 2 Evangelism is the work of every follower of Christ, and primarily the work of the layman. This duty cannot be delegated to the church as an organized body or to its offi cial servants. Philip was a layman, a deacon in the church by office, but an evan gelist by the gift and calling of the Holy Spirit. His experience in lead ing the Ethiopian eunuch to Christ 4 demonstrates that one who is yield ed to the Spirit— I. Will Find Opportunity for Soul Winning (v. 26). Most unexpected places will afford opportunities. Philip was in the midst of a great revival in Samaria when the angel of the Lord sent him to Gaza—a desert place. Who would he meet here? Remember that the great world-evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, was converted in a humble shoe store by the earnest approach of a Sunday school teacher. II. Will Respond Immediately to the Spirit’s Leading (vv. 29, 30). The Spirit said “go.” Philip “ran.” The fundamental of fundamentals in God’s children is obedience. The opportunity, the inquiring soul, the equipped personal worker, all were prepared by God for just that mo ment. All would have been lost had Philip failed to obey. III. Will Find That Men and Wom en Are Ready to Receive the Truth <w. 28, 31-34). God prepares souls, and more are willing to be saved than we think. Whether it was through his experi ence at Jerusalem, his spiritual hunger before he went up, or the reading of the Word, or all these together, the eunuch was ready. Neighbors, schoolmates, trades- people, fellow workers—they may present God’s opportunity for us. IV. Will Find That God Honors Men by Using Them to Win Others. He could “save a man all alone on the top of the Alps,” but he doesn’t ordinarily do it. Remember It was “the sword of the Lord and of Gideon” that wrought a victory. The eunuch needed an interpreter of the truth. Philip was God’s man. V. Will Know God’s Word (v. 35), We cannot interpret what we do not know. One who is not personally ac quainted with the Living Word by regeneration, and the Written Word by diligent study, is not able to help others. Could you begin (as Philip did) at Isaiah 53:7, and lead a man to Christ? If not, should you not be gin to study your Bible with such an end in view? VI. Will “Carry Through” to a Decision (w. 36, 37). A salesman may be brilliant, cul tured, and persuasive, but what counts is the signature on the dot ted line at the bottom of an order. Philip pressed for and obtained a decision. VII. Will Follow-up His Convert (w. 36, 37). Much so-called evangelism fails to go beyond a mere profession—a declaration of faith. The eunuch and Philip both knew that an inward faith declares itself in an outward act—and he was baptized. VIII. Will Recognize That the Mes sage Is Important, Not the Messen ger (v. 39). When the work was done the evangelist was carried away by the Spirit. God’s work goes on. His workman we set aside. As an advertising company has well- expressed it, “The purpose of ad vertising is to impress the product upon the reader’s mind, not the medium.” It is a fine testimony to the effec tiveness of Philip’s ministry that al though he was gone his convert went “on his way rejoicing.” His faith did not rest on the evangelist nor any human fellowship—he knew God. Let us be sure to win souls to God and not simply to a personal allegiance to us or to a religious organization. Why not be a Philip? Any man or woman who knows the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior can be a winner of souls. It has well been said that all that Philip had was “a love for souls, a knowledge of the Word and a sensitiveness to the leading of the Lord. That is all we need. If every Christian were a Philip the world would be won for Christ in ten years.” The perfect antidote for blister ing, hot days is this cool, clever ly-designed culotte for bicycling, riding, beach, housework; for tearing through the woods, or AßouT SNAKES, YUANTSEEN ‘%AY, (YE SEEN A NOTING, SNAKE quires 4% yards of 39 inch ma terial.
