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.”

LL the relations of life are
interwoven with trifles,
and unless the shuttle is plied
with a skillful hand, the tex­
ture of the web will be full of
knots, and of many discordant
colors. Let us fully appreci­
ate trifles; look at them close­
ly, but let them be reflected
by the sunbeams of charity,
arranged and woven together
by sound discretion, that an
even beautiful fabric may be
presented before the gazing
millions, at the great day of
final examination.—L. C. Jud­

No License to Do That

Students of migration used to
believe that birds traveled at
heights above 15,000 feet. They
had the idea that flying was easi­
er in high altitudes. Every avi­
ator today knows just the oppo­
site is the truth. Most birds fly
below 3,000 feet in migration, and
