ing the prophecy Of Israel, Philip
asked the question, "UnderStandest
thou what thou readest?" The
Ethiopian, despite his world great
ness, was a very teachable person,
He invited Philip to come up be-
side him in the chariot and 10 in
terpret the passage for him.
IL was the passage dealing with
the sheep led to the slaughter and
TO the lamb dumb before his shear
ers-the great passage in the fifty
third chapter or Isaiah. One can
imagine how richly and beautifully
Philip would interpret all this
through its fulfillment in Jesus OF
Nazareth. The result was that when
they came TO a place where there
was wa the Ethiopian inquired
why III aid not be baptized and
Philip Immediately baptized a new
convert. just what happened then
Is not plain. The record Is that the
spirit Of the Lord caught away
Philip. At any rate, Philip went
back preaching the Gospel with
fervor, and the Ethiopian went on
his journey with new vision and
new impulses OF faith.
Mode OF Baptism
The lesson mas many applica-
tons In the life Of today. IL re-
minds us that the power OF Christ
ianity knows no boundaries OF race,
color or nationality. There was a
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-08-02

time when the narrative cccasioned
great controversies over the mode
OF baptism IN fact, the whole pas
sage was tn stock and trade OF
controversialists a generation or so
ago, and In these controversies over
the proper mode OF baptism the
spiritual significance Of the nar-
ratlve was largely lost. Today. for
the most part, we have come to
see outward observances and orcin-
anceS in something OF a new light.
In general there Is a recognition
on thep art OF those alike who be-
lieve In immersion and those who
believe In sprinkling. OF those who
believe only in adult baptism and
OF those who believe in the aptism
OF infants born 10 Christian par
ents. that the deep significance OF
baptism Is inward and spiritual
rather than outward. Baptism
takes its meaning as the symbol OF
newness OF life. In the bitter con-
~troversies Of men over the mode.
they have tended in the past to lose
sight altogether OF the most i'm
portanJ thing.
Philips Example
The greatest teaching OF the
lesson Is found in Philips willing
ness TO obey the voice OF the spirit.
and In his manifestation OF his
own faith in evangelism. The world
needs nothing SO much today as
the simple witness OF Christians 70
the experience that they them
selves have found. Perhaps IL the
experience were commonly more
real there would be a wider and
more effective expression OF faith
IN the gospel and in its power TO
save and bless.
