Wednesday IF YOU do not quite remem ber the apostle Philip, he Is one of the seven in the early Chris tian church in Jerusalem to su pervise the distribution of alms to the widows of the congrega tion. He was a very devout man and seems to have been held in great esteem by the apostles of the church in Jerusalem, for the entire eighth chapter of Acts is devoted to his ministry Philip received a visit from an angel of the Lord, who told him to go "toward the south unto the way that goeth down Jerusilem. unto Gaza: the same is desert." Gaza was an ancient Philistine city, made famous in the story of Samson. It was a strong fort ress two miles from the sea, at the southernmost end of Pales tine, toward the Egyptian border. Philip wasted no time after getting the message, but started at once for this distant place over rough roads, no doubt, und desert. Now as he walked along a man came by m a cnanoi, anu as he rode he read from the prophet Isaiah. This man was a eunnch, an Ethiopian returning from Jeru salem Where he had been to wor ship. He was a man "of great authority," it is written, who held a position of great ti ust under Candace, queen of Ethi opia, "Who has charge of all her treasure." Candace. we are told, was not the queen's name, but her title, like governor, tetrarch or pharah. Philip Approaches Charict Prompted by the inner spirit, Philip approached the chariot and heard the eunuch read part of the scripture. He asked the eunuch if he understood what he read. The eunuch said, "Ho can I, except some man should guide rae?" and he asked Philip to get in the chariot beside him. Philip did so, and this was the scripture which he read: "He was led as a sheep to the daughter; and like a lamb dumb before h!s shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 'In his humiliation his Judg ment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from thj earth; Christ and His trial and death. The eunuch asked Who thle re ferred t. the prophet or some other man? "Then Piup opened his mouth, and began at the seme scripture, and preached unto him Jesus." Probably the Ethiopian had never heard of- Jesus, but he eagerly 'istened to what Philip had to say, and believed in his message. So eager was this man to be come a Christian that, as they rode along and came to soma water (some think it waa Philip's Fountain, socailed), he said, "See, here is water; what doth hinder m to be baptized?" Philip answered him, "If thou believest with l thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." He commanded the chariot to stand still, and both 'went down to the water, Philip and the eunuch, and Philip baptized him. After the baptism, Philip was' miraculously snatched away and the eunuch "saw him no more? and he went on his way rejoic ing." We know no more about this Ethiopian. He is never mentioned, aerain, and we also hear no mora of Christianity in Ethiopia until the fourth century when Chris tian laymen started a mission there. Ethiopia was much in the never in recent years as the country attacked by the Italians before. World War II, and conquered by them In the late Mussolini's mad. ambition to enlarge the Roman empire, The Italian armies, with modern weapons of war, con quered the country, but the occu pation was short. Hails Selassie, king of Ethiopia, fought with his armies until the cause was nope less, then went to the Leasee Of Nations for heh. Not getting It, he retired to England, and after the defeat of the Italians by the British. Haile Selassie WIS re stored to his throne. How did the eunuch hapten to be "worshipping to Jerusalem f" He was the queen -treasurer, and as such mlgst easily have met Jews through, business and financial transactions. He was what was ca'led a "proselyte of the pate." He could not enter into the inner temple because of being an eunuchyTrnt hlrdevo tion to the Jewiph religion Is n roved by his journey of some 200 miles to worship la the holy city.

"Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem ui.to Gaza." Philip obeyed the message, and on his way he encountered a eunuch, an Ethio pian, one who had great authority with the queen, sitting in his chariot reading the prophet Esaiaa. Tho eunuch asked Philip to get into the chariot and explain a certain passage ti him. Philip did so and then he opened his mouth and began to preach the Gospel of Jesus."

Lincoln Big Business Long After His Death CHICAGO (VP i A book dealer here reports Abraham Lincoln is the center of a SI ..")00,000-a-year business nearly f!.ri years after his assassination. . Ralph Newman, operalnr of tho Abraham Lincoln bookshop, said annual sales of I.incolniana were about that much and that 3.500 persons are active collectors of Lincoln books and material. He said the number of readers of Lincoln literature is in the hun dreds of thousands and that ho adds more than a thousand new Lincoln customers to his mailing list every year. BROCCOLI POINTERS There are two varieties of broc coli commonly found in markets. One is a darkish green, the other a purplish preen. The buds in the broccoli clusters or heads should be compact. They should not have reached the staue of development at which the ful' yellow or pur plish color of the blossoms is dis tinct. However, an occasional open blossom does not indicate overma turity.

People Here Hazy On Marshall Plan, Survey Discloses CHICAGO (UP t A public opin ion poll of the Chicago area shows that more than one-fourth of l he people who have heard of the Marshall Plan do not know what it is. The poll was conducted by the Northwestern University psychol ogy department. It showed that 6 per cent of the persons interviewed had heard of the Marshall Plan. But 28 per cent of them a "sur prisingly large number" did not know its aims, structure or mean ing, the university said. Seventy-three per cent of the persons questioned believe that anothr war is on tho way. Of that group, 82 per cent believe it will come within the next 20 years. Last year, a Northwestern poll showed that only 63 per cent an ticipated war during the next two decades. Seventy-six per cent of the per sons interviewed believe thai the United States should give as much aid to Europe as it can decide upon and afford. Food and non-military loans received the largest vote. Only seven per cent of those favor ing aid are willing to 30 "all (he way." the university said Of live suggested means to achieve lasting peace, the United Nations received the highest vote, the university found. However, 55 P( r cent of the group votinj the U IN felt thai at preseni it doing a poor job. The other four methods listed for achieving peace were a federal world government, a United States of Kurope, increasing American military strength, and sharing atomic secrets with other nations Only one per cent approved sharing secrets of the atom bomb. for is Telephone Was Gadget In The Good Old Days MILWAUKEE UP Old Mil waukeeans still recall the time in 1877 when the late Valentine Blatz, beer magnate, Anally consented to have a telephone installed in his office. When the phone rang a few minutes later, BlaU answered it and talked for a while. Then he turned to the telephone man. "Very Interesting," he said. "But if really is no help to me. Most of my- friends and business associates speak German. And this thing speaks English." s?sssssss - The Everyday Counselor -hy- KEV. HERBERT SPAUGI1, I). D. This column will probably inter est only church people, and pos sibly not some of these. Statesmen, church leaders, business leaders and psychiatrists are shouting at us that we desperatly need in this country a spiritual revival, that tile world needs the same: that we are doing far too little to bring it about. In fact, we are permitting things to happen which will defin itely impede such a spiritual awak ening. The time in which we are living is one of confusion and uncertainty. All of us have our troubles. Un fortunately, too many seem to have the idea that release from these troubles can he had in recreation only. Others are taking the alco hol route. These are only salves on the sore. Their help is only transi tory. They don't gel at tin; rout of the trouble at all, yet more and more seem to he turning to these false outlets for Iheir troubles. Recently a prominent physician wrote a book on healthful living. One of his recommendations was thai we spend our Sabbath or Sun clay as the Almighty intended, for physical rest and spiritual restora tion. Are we doing that? Most of us aren't, sad to say. Sunday, as a day of physical rest and spiritual restoration, is gradu ally being whittled down to a few hours. Saturday night dances, which used to terminate at mid night, now run well over into Sun day morning. The result is that the exhausted participants get lit tle benefit from church attendance, if they are able to get there at all. Sunday afternoon is being increas ingly taken over by secular and commercial amusement interests. Now the same thing is happening In Sunday evening and Sunday night. Thus far they have left about an hour and a half open on Sunday evening as a gesture to ward the churches, then they take over again. We have had Sunday picture shows for some time on Sunday afternoon and Sunday night after church hours. Now como Sunday night stage shows and Sun day night public dancing. Have you ever heard of a man or woman being converted from his or her evil ways, led to a better spiritual life, by any of these things!. These commercial interests have six days in which to operate. Now they are reaching out and gradual ly taking over the seventh. The same old picture was presented in the Book of Genesis, when Adam and Eve were given the whole Gar den to live in, only two trees be ing reserved as God's. They reach-1 ed out to take these and so precip itated their downfall. If we are going to heed our leaders, save our civilization by spiritual revival, we are going to 1 11 1'iuii! dr h lima J afr!
