PHILIP, WILLING EVAN
GELIST.
Acts 8 Print = Acts 8: As,
1888.
MEMORY SELECTION -
AS my Father hath sent me,
even so send | you. - John
20:2D. 1t is easy to under
stand how Christ sent them;
he appointed them to go on
with his work upon earth, and
to lay out themselves for the
spreading of the gospel, and
the setting up of his kingdom,
among men. Christ sent them
as the Father sent him; GER
tainly their commissions and
powers were infinitely infer
ior to his, but their work was
of the same kind with his, and
the disciples were to go on
where he left off. AS he was
sent to bear witness to the
truth, so were they. He was
sent not to do his own will,
but the will of him that sent
him.
PHILIP breaches IN
SAMARIA:
Therefore they that were
scattered abroad went every
where preaching the world
This showed undaunted cour-
age as well as extreme love
and devotion to the cause of
Christ. Instead Of extermina-
ting the Christian faith as
some expected, the persecution
actually gave it a boost and
sent Christianity out into
areas where it probably would
not have gone for a consider
able time to come. Then
Philip went down to the city
of Samaria, and preached
Christ unto them" Now
in the height of the persecu-
ton Samaria is selected as
one of the fields which offer
ed good prospect for the adj
vancing of the cause Of Christ
and the kingdom of God. "And
the people with one accord
gave heed unto those things
which Philip spake, hearing
and seeing the miracles which
he did"
The response was unani-
nous to the appeal Philip
made and great attention was
given to the things he said
and did. Perhaps it was Phil
ip's contact with Gentiles in
previous years. 1t was the
gospel he preached and the
miracles which he did that
wrought the greatest effect
upon the lives of these peo-
pie.
PHILIP is S E N I TO
SOUTH JUDEA:
"And the angel of the Lord
spake unto Philip, saying,
Arise, and go toward the
south unto the way that goeth
down from Jerusalem unto
GAIA, which is DESERT - he
Spirit of the Lord directed
Philip to go to the region
which in present day language
is called the GAIA Strip, the
region which lies between
southern judah and ancient
Philistia, southwest of Jerusa.
lem.
"And he arose and went;
and, behold, man of Ethio-
pia, an eunuch of great au-
thority under Candace queen
of the Philippians, who had
the charge of all her treasure
and had come to Jerusalem for
to worship" - 1t seems evi
dent from this verse that the
Ethiopian treasurer was a sub
scriber to the Jewish religion
for her had come from his
own country up to Jerusalem
to worship according to the
beliefs of the Jewish religion
"Was returning, and sitting

Inevitably this romance will hasten

The Nome nugget., 1959-12-25

Six-year-old Linda Breese of Columbus, Ohio, has been crippled from birth. She suf- fered from a birth defect, a disorder which seriously af- f1icts one out of every 16 babies born in the United States.
 When Linda was old enough to walk, she could get around only with the aid of steel braces on her legs. That meant wearing heavy, ankle . high shoes which were not very pretty for a little girl who was otherwise developing into a real beauty.
 Children with significant birth defects, known medically as congenital malfornationS, often face a lifetime of crip- bling. But there was hope in Linda's case. In her hometown, at the Columbus Children's Hospital, a new center espe- cially designed to treat birth defects was set up with the support of New March of Dimes funds. It is probably the worlds first birth defects
The Nome nugget., 1959-12-25

treatment and study center.
 Linda began a series of sur gical operations, treatments and exercises to strengthen the muscles she still had in her legs. Today she no longer needs the braces and can even ride a tricycle.. Though she still uses crutches, the doctors at the Columbus center hope that she may soon be able to abandon them. Meanwhile, what delights Linda most is that, like other little girls, she can now wear pretty shoes.
 The New March of Dimes campaign in January, 1860, is aimed at three major crippling diseases, including arthritis and polio in addition to birth defects. It is estimated that one out of every four Ameri- can families is affected by these disorders. Linda's prog ress toward a healthy, normal life symbolizes the hope held out by the New March of Dimes for millions of sufferers from crippling diseases.
