By \\ illlHin 10. Kllto Boys who like war stories will lind : themselves introduced to the most | wonderful battle front of the present | conflict by this Sunday school les ' son. The episode of Deacon Philip ' and the Ethiopian eunuch, one of the I familiar incidents of the Bible, had. ! its setting on a desert near Gaza, a j spot now alive with all the activity | and confusion and tumult of mili tary encampment. j At the time of our lesson story it | was an uncultivated solitude, where | quiet and leisurely religious discus ] sion between wayfarers seemed most • appropriate; how that same territory 'is overrun with Ottoman troops and their German leaders. ! The scream and toot and puffing lof locomotives, and the rattle of , troop trains over the new railroad that lui« been built down through | this lower end of Palestine to Beer | sheba. may be heard today where the Ethiopian eunuch's camels stepped softly and quietly two thousand years ago. All the indescribable confusion lof a military camp tills the scene i t ; the present time. . The Turkish troops ; are careful not to wet too near to the site of the old Gaza itself: for it is ;on the Mediterranean coast, and too 1 near to the warships of the allies to be comfortable. In outward appearance the present hordes of troops, and the preparation for the widely heralded attack on Suez, seem to blot out till such memories as this and the other great Bible stories that were staged I on this very spot. Is it too much to say that what ever the outcome of the present plans for the Egyptian invasion, and what ever the battles to be fought here about. when contrasted with the sin gle interview between one Christian layman and a negro inquirer, the lat ter has had a much greater effect up on the thinking and actions of man kind ? This bit of personal work by Philip on the desert marked the beginning i of Christian missions to the Dark Con tinent. This was a spark from the tire at Jerusalem that was being scat tered by persecution over the whole earth. An Old City's New Life Occasionally nowadays we read in the newspapers the name Nnhlus; this is the modern title of ancient Sliechem, a Samaritan city a >*cw miles below old Samaria itself. Nab lus is to-day a great military depot and railroad center, a point of 'on centratlon for the Ottoman troops. A few miles above it. on a hill, are the ruins of the old city of Samaria, where the archaeologists from Har vard a few years ago dug up the ruins of Allah's palace. Now f he neighborhood is so thronged with the excitement of war that few of tlie Christians of the Central Powers who pass Samaria on the new rail road recall that it was hither that Philip carried the Gospel from Jeru salem.

Philip's work in Samaria 1 had wrought such results that oven Simon the most outstanding popular leader of the city, was among those who followed the crowds to hear Philip, and who, too, yielded to the new region. Apparently Simon was converted all but his b>ocket book; for he coveted spiritual gilts for. a •>ecuntiiry gain to himself. There in old Samaria, by the help of the apostles of I'eter and John, the big issue ol money-making in re ligion was fought to n conclusion. The avaricious spirit of Simon was brok<*n to contrition, and he and the people were turned toward the pure and sim ple life of the disciples of the Cruci fied. The First Laymen'* Movement As the embers of a lire are scat tered by the blows meant to extin guish them, so Philip, like a Gospel brand, had become a beacon to the Samaritans. He might lie called 'he lirst example of the deputation work by laymen that is increasingly popu lar throughout the land. Or, we may say that Philip inaugurated the first laymen's movement. He did a great work in Samaria, i and was the center of a real revival. ) Things were succeeding for him. Ap parently he had found the very place | wlier he could do the. best, work. Then suddenly the summons came for him to follow the main highway out across the desert to Gaza. "1 said, 'Let me walk in the fields.' i He said, 'Xo, walk in the town.' i said, 'There are no (lowers there." ; He said, 'Xo flowers, but a crown.' "1 said. '1 shall miss the light, And friends will miss me. they say.' Me answered, 'Choose to-night If 1 am to miss you or they.' "I pleaded for time to be given, lie said, 'ls it hard to decide? It will not seem hard in heaven To have followed the sJteps of your guide.' " Leaving the Big For the Little This summons seemed incredible. What! Leave the big congregation to go off to the desert to preach to one black eunuch? Yes; that was ' Philip's call. God weighs the import ance of service in different, scales from those used by man. Here is Airs. Blank, who has apparently giv en up a social career and all hor club and committee work, nieroly to take | care of one baby. "She is wasting her life," say her friends impatient i ly. But wait; we cannot decide that. [ until we know the story of the fu-] ture of the babe who is receiving the full thought and time of a wise and noble woman.. We must not forget that it is only the occasional student that makes a school famous, and the one man who lifts a town above eom motiplaceness. Front our vantage point, centuries removed, we can see that Philip was taking the short cut to Africa, ..or the message to which his life had been given. l")r. F. X. Peloubet, the [author of the famous commentary on the Sunday school lesson, planned to go to India as a missionary, and so prepared himself, lie seemed to lie; thwarted in that desire; yet to-day i his lessons are used in mission fields all over the earth, 1 myself wanted to be a preacher; now, in an unex pected fashion, 1 have been led to minister through the printed page to la weekly congregation numbering millions. Let us not think that God's .strange providences ceased with the \ days of Philip to the Apostolic church. From Better to Best ' This Ethiopian eunuch, treasurer of Queen Canadace, was a man of high position, and rode in state on his slow journey toward Egypt and his own country beyond. As he traveled he read aloud to himself. Lot us no tice the character of literature he took with him on his journey, and compare !it with the trash which nowadays seems most popular with travelers. By some strange quirk in their think ing, people feel that travel literature I should be the flimiest. obtainable. This ! man, who was perhaps a "Proselyte I of the Gate." was reading those mov -1 ing words from the fifty-third chap tor of Isaiah; "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb. So he openeth not his mouth; In his humiliation his judgment was taken away; His generation who shall declare? For bis life is taken from the earth." Frankly, lhe mnn did not under stand what he was reading. There ;are some persons who declare they • would not read what they cannot un derstand. All the bes! books, how ever, are above the level of the ob vious. The Bible is beyond most of • us. The church has been for cen turies discovering new treasures of truth between these old covers. When lovers of tin- Book study it together they are likeliest to under stand it better.. One's experience | adds to the other's knowledge. So • the eunuch was led from the better to the best; from the Old Testament 110 the New; from the suffering Mes siah of the prophecy to the Crucified Christ of history. That was an interesting Bible class held that day in the wilderness; yet Ino more so than a thousand other men's Bible classes may be as they consider this very lesson. When sin rere men study big problems with open minds, there is hope for the times. A few days ago, when visit ing in rural Xorth Carolina, the farm ' er's son who came into my room to ; make the lire, greeted me with a ques tion, not concerning some triviality of metropolitan life or usage, but about I the old perplexity as to the fate of the RUB our mm ■ "MOBS OL" jet a Small Trial Bottle-Rub Pain, Soreness, Stiff ness Right Out of Joints and Muscles-Instant Relief!

So this layman, who was a mis- j sionary to one man, began with the passage that the eunuch was read ing. and explained to him its relation to Jesus. We can start anywhere in the Bible and get straight to Christ. 1 "All roads lead to Home." It is a poor study of the book which does | not lead us back to the book's Hero. We may see ilis image in every part j of the Bible. Because Philip had a personal experience of Jesus, he could recognize Him wherever he found Him in the old Book..
