Philip was one of those who left Jerusalem. This was not Philip the apostle, but Philip the evangelist. He was the one who had previous ly been chosen to oversee the daily ministration of the poor in the Christian church. Philip went to Samaria. This city was the capital of the north ern kingdom of Israel, and was lo cated on an oblong hill northwest of Shechem. It was charmingly situated, and because of the pre cipitous sides of the hill on which it stood, it was considered a city of great strength. However, Alex ander the Great took it in 331 B. C, and it suffered greatly un der John Hyrcanus in 119 B. C, when it was almost destroyed. Pompey rebuilt it and so did Herod the Great, who not only re stored its former beauty, but ex tended, strengthened and adorned it magnificently. There are only ruins today to show Its greatness of centuries ago. Felt Safer in Samaria Philip probably felt safer from the persecutors there than in many other places. The Jews ab horred the Samaritans, who wor shiped Jehovah, observed the Sab bath, but rejected all scriptures except the Pentateuch. They re garded Gerizim, not Jerusalem, as the holy city. "Thou art a Samari tan" was the most injurious accu sation a Jew could utter. Philip was a Hellenist, one who adopts Greek as his mother tongue, so he would have less prejudice against the Samaritans than the native Jews. The people of Samaria gave Philip their attention, listened to his preaching and heard and saw the miracles which he did, "for unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them; and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy In that city." Now there was In Samaria a Certain man named Simon. He was a sorcerer and made out that magic, but that he was "some great one," meaning an almost su-' pernatural being. The inhabitants of the city had regard for him be cause for a long time he had "be witched them with sorceries." When, however, the people lis tened to Philip's preaching of Christ, and believed, Simon lis tened, too, and became a believer. He was baptized and remained with Philip, wondering at the miracles that he saw performed. Peter and John Come Now when word of Philip's suc cess reached Jerusalem, it was considered wise to send Peter and John to Samaria, as there was sure to be some questioning of this conversion of the hated race of Samaritans. Peter and John prayed with the believers that they might receive the Holy Ghost, then they laid their hands on them and they DID receive the Spirit. When Simon saw this he decid ed that here was a new way to make money for he really was a mercenary man, who thought more of money than of anything else. His baptism had not changed his heart, you see. So he went up to Peter, saying, "Give me also this power, on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost." And he offered money. Peter naturally was Indignant. "Thy money perish with thee," he said sternly, "because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. "Thou hast neither part nor lot In this matter: for thy heart Is not right in the sight of God. Repent, therefore, of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and In the bond of Iniquity." Peter had a number of faults as we know, but he was not a money lover, and the idea of any man buying the precious gifts of God was hateful to him. For the moment Simon was ashamed of himself, and he asked, quite humbly, "Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me." We may wonder If he was really sorry for his sins or just wanted to escape punish ment. How sad if he never can.e to realize how many precious things there are that money will not buy love and health, character, spir itual purity. Peter and John returned to Je rusalem, preaching the gospel in many of the villages of the Sa maritans, as they went.
