Sunday School Lesson

whose questions went to the root of
the matter. Hours probably passed
as they talked over the affairs of the
Kingdom of God and Philip preached
unto him Jesus" 1t is quite evident
that he convinced the Ethiopian of
the Messiahship and saving power of
the Lord and made clear unto him
the story of the churchs organization
and the requirement Of baptism of all
who wished to confess Christ.
The Faithful Minister
Philip found, what all great evan
gelists and faithful ministers have
learned, that personal work is the best
way to win men. The Bible is the
sword of the Spirit that every soul
winner must learn how to WELD. There
is a path TO Christ in every portion of
the Scriptures. Philip experienced the
joy of all joys, when the alert and
quickly made decision of the Ethiopian
was made, requesting that he be bap-
tized. There was no delay or desire
to think it over. He believed and inn
mediateIy confessed his faith. He
went on his way rejoicing. He had the
Scriptures TO guide him IN his hand,
the spirit of God in his heart. and the
invisible presence of Jesus with him.
We do not hear of him again. but We

to preach the Gospel in his own land
and influence many TO follow the Lord
Jesus. The Copts may possibly repre-
sent today his work.
We follow Philip. whom the spirit
caught away. The minister of Christ
loves his converts and naturally is
deeply interested in their welfare. AL
though he is devoted to their spiritual
development, he is under orders.
When duty calls or danger, he must
move on to other fields. No doubt
the rich and influential convert would
have been pleased if he could have
taken Philip home with him. but God
called him to other fields of endeavor.
He sent him to AZotuS. but did not
allow this first home and foreign mis-
sionary to taFry there. for He called
him to returnsto his home in Caesarea.
On his Journey homeward he preached
in all the cities. While from his
home basis Philip continued to eXer-
else his gifts an an evangelist. he
probably may have kept in communi
cation with the Ethiopian convert
whom he won for Christ alone in
the desert. The memory of that
epochal meeting proved the value of
winning men, as individuals, when
ever the opportunity opens. During
nearly quarter of a century. Philip
toiled on in Caesarea, as a faithful
minister of Christ Jesus, proving by
his patient perseverance in preach
ing the joy of biblical teaching and
personal evangelism in serving Christ
Jesus and winning men for his Lord

ment was merely tentative, and was

from the company nor from the stock
holders affected to sell their stock.

clares he obtained options on 1890
shares of the stock and called on
George o. Watson, president of the
Liberty National Bank, where Potter
& Co. had posted $4,000 fund to

By the Associated Press
FREDERICKSBURG Va. May O.
Counties of the famous Northern
Neck of Virginia brought a varied
pageantry here today to celebrate the
dedication to the Nation of Ken
| more, the home of Betty Washington
| Lewis, only sister of George Wash
| ington. CARRIED in the dress of colo
NAL days, descendants of families that
gave many heroes to the American
! revolution enacted a colorful cere-
mony. The event marked the success
tul elimination of three years cam
| paiSn to save the historic mansion for
| future Americans.
Stately in its grove of trees, Ken
more stands remarkably preserved
despite a century and three-quarters
of sun and rains. Built in 1752 by
| Col. Fielding Lewis as the home of
his bride, the building finally was
| sold as a sacrifice to the cause of
| American liberty. Three years ago
real estate dealers threatened to tear
down the mansion and sell the
grounds for building lots. Patriotic
women hastily formed the Kenmore
| Association, and, invoking the aid of
| President Coolidge. began a national
| campaign for funds to purchase the
! estate and restore it to its former
| glory as IA mecca for those who cher
ish the traditions Of the Nation $
earliest days.
Address by Governor.
Gov. r. Lee Trinkle delivered the
| address of welcome from the portico
| of the mansion Judge John Barton
| Payne also was to speak. The formal
ceremony of dedication was under the
| auspices of the Kenmore Association
| and the Daughters of the American

| exercises Colonial vehicles rumbled
through the modern streets carrying

others clad in the dress Of re, many
articles of which were actually worn
