Lesson La Brief
BY REV. b. A. MEEKS

Subject: "Peter and John
Preach to Samaritans.
Lesson Passage: Acts 8:4-25.
Golden Text: Lift up your
eyes, and look on the fields; for
they are white already to har-
vest" - John 4:35.
Last week we gave considera-
ton to Peter and John as leaders
in the early Church. In our les
son today we shall study the part
played by our heroes in one of
the significant and decisive &C
ton of the New Testament
Church, the beginning of the
movement to carry the gospel to
other nations by preaching to the
Samaritans. Up to this time, the
early Christians had limited their
preaching to the Jews and not
left the bounds of Jerusalem.
Even though Jesus had definitely
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1943-05-13

commanded them to carry the
gospel to the uttermost part of
the earth, they had so far failed
to make a beginning toward this
end. It is hardly possible to
know just how long these Chris
ians would have been content to
remain in Jerusalem if it had not
been for great persecution
against the church which was at
Jerusalem; and they were all
scattered abroad throughout the
regions of Judea and Samaria,
except the apostles" Saul and
his followers were determined to
stamp out this new sect of reli-
gion which they considered a
great heresy by making havoc of
the church by this severe perse-
cution. God, however, made a
different use of the persecution.
AS the Christians were scattered
abroad they carried with them
the good news of Jesus with
them. Therefore they that were
scattered abroad went every
where preaching the Word" God
took that which was meant for
evil and turned it into means
of good. History records the fact
that God has often made the
wrath of man to praise Him by
His overruling providence.
Among the outstanding Chris
tians scattered abroad was Philip,
one of the first deacons of the
early Church. He, like Stephen,
was full of the Holy Ghost and
wisdom, and the people could not
resist the wisdom and the spirit
by which he spoke. Philip along
with the other deacons, did not
confine themselves to the specific
purpose for which they were cleo
ted. They not only administer
ed the fund for benevolent pur-
poses, but did the work of an
evangelist very effectively. This
deacon went down to the city of
Samaria and proclaimed unto
them the Christ with such power
that a real revival was begun
agong the Samaritans. When the
news reached the apostles in
Jerusalem that Samaria had re-
ceived the word of God they sent
our two heroes, Peter and John,
unto them. It may be that they
desired them to investigate and
see if the Samaritans had really
accepted the gospel and were be-
coming true Christians. Having
arrived on the scene, they found
that all was we'll and that Philip
had done remarkable work.
They not only gave their APPROX
al, but joined in the effort to
evangelize the Samaritans. Be
fore returning to Jerusalem, Pc
ter and John supplied that which
was lacking in the ministry of
Philip.
1t was a remarkable thing to
have these early Christians man
ifesting such interest in the peo-
pie of Samaria. The Jews and
Samaritans hated each other.
This feeling had existed for gen
erations. 1t began when the

Obituary
MRS. MEACY A. BARKER

MRS. MEACY A. BARKER
Meacy ADELAIDE Barker, daugh-
ter of the late Alfred and Margie
Blevins, was born September %,
1861 and departed this life April
20, 1943, permitting her stay on
earth of 81 years, z months and
Z days.
She was married to Rev. W. F.
Barker, December 20, 1883 and to
this union were born ten children.
The husband, Rev. w. F. Barker
and the following named children
survive her: Ance F. Barker,
Yorklyn, Del; Mrs. Dema Bald
win, Bina, N. c.; William Coy
Barker, Silas Creek. N. c.; Ar
thur C. and Wade H. Barker, both
of Hockessin, Del, and Mrs. Lora
Spencer, of Sturgills, N. c. She
leaves, also, II grandchildren, 8
great-grandchildren, 4 brothers
and l sister, with many relatives
and friends to mourn her passing
She made a profession of faith
in Christ as her personal Saviour,
in the year 1884, and united with
the Pleasant Home B aptis t
Church in 1885. She moved her
membership to Landmark Bap-
fist Church, where she remained
and lived loyal and consecrated
Christian life until called home
to her reward. She was a mem
Der of Landmark church for So
i years.
Sister Barker was a devoted
mother and wife. Possibly no
servant of the Lord ever had a
companion that was more loyal
than she was. While her hus-
, band was out preaching the Cos
pei of the Son of God, she stay
ed at home and labored for the
family to give to them the right
training, and to make life pleas
ant. She gladly shared with her
husband in the great responsible
ties of preaching the Gospel. She
was very much interested in the
Spiritual upbuilding of her COM
munity in which she lived.
She was mother who could
find time to read her Bible, read
ing some portion of the Scripture
every day, and advising her chill
dren to do the same thing. She
was cheerful and smiling, even
under the most trying hours of
! life; she would smile even
through her tears.
The community has been en-
riched by her sweet life that she
has lived with us, and her good
deeds will live on in the hearts
of those that loved her.
| Her labors are ended, her toll
| is over. She has gone to her re-
ward, leaving the family and
| friends to weep and mourn, but
we feel our loss is her eternal
gain.
Mothers gone, we say with weep
ing,
/ Yet we smile through all our
tears,
knowing that she is only sleeping
| And will live through endless
| years.
Mothers gone, how dear and ten
| der,
| Were her gentle, kindly ways,
How shall earthly hearts surrend-
er,
Presence that so blest our days
Loving service was her pleasure,
Hers, a patience without meas
ure,
Precious memories we shall
treasure,
While sweet Mothers gone.
And then on some glad tomorrow,
Where no pain is ever known,
In that land of joy supernal,
! We shall meet around Gods
throne.
Written by her pas
tor and Nephew,
Rev. w. E. Denny.

Jews came back from the captiv-
ity to rebuild Jerusalem and
found that the Jews left behind
in Palestine had intermarried
with the Gentiles, thereby becom-
ing mixed race. When these
Samaritans offered to help re-
build Jerusalem, the Jews scorn-
ed their help. From that time
they had been bitter enemies and
had gone their separate ways.
The love of Christ is a wonderful
thing to bring individuals and ma
tons together. Christian love is
an over-mastering, irresistible
spiritual force which overcomes
race prejudice and hatreds of all
kinds. In preaching to the Sa-
maritans, these early Christians
were following in the steps of
their loving Saviour.

WorOn All
BottIefieIds
by United Press

The war went into a new phase
today after the overthrow of Benito
Mussolini, founder OF Italy's Fascist
regime which laid the pattern for
plunging the world into conflict.
Marshal Pietro Badoglio, Italy's
old soldier who replaced Mussolini as
chief of government, clamped mar
tial law on the nation. Signs piled
up that the government would feel
out the Allies for peace terms, and
diplomatic sources in London said
Britain at least was ready to talk
with Badoglio.
The crash of Mussolini's 21-year-
old regime four days before his
Goth birthday found Italy under
paralyzing assault by land and air
and Adolf Hitler's Europe rocking
under the mightiest aerial onslaught
the world has ever known, plus a
developing offensive by resurgent
Russian army.
Resignation
Mussolini's Resignation" came as
Allied armies slashed through Sicily,
beating the German and Italian de-
tenders back into the northeast
corner of the invaded island, and
American and British air fleets
struck key German strongholds with
unprecedented force.
Deepening the cash in Italy's
flank regardless of the political sit
uation, the Allies ran their total bag
of prisoners in Sicily past the 10000
mark. Six Italian generals and
one admiral were captured yester-
day, running the number of generals
for the campaign to 10.
The American Seventh Army,
mopping up western Sicily and
wheeling around to join in the final
assault on the Axis Etna line, cap
tured Termini Emerese, big city of
north-central Sicily. The United
States roundup had netted $4,000
Axis prisoners.
Following up the heaviest air raid
of the war on Hamburg Saturday
night the Royal Air Force carried
out very heavy" bombardment

city, while Mosquito bombers stabbed
anew at Hamburg and at Cologne.
