LESSCil . PERSONAL CHRISTIAN 1 WITNESS '- International SundayvSchool Lesson ' For March 7th " Golden Textr "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I end you.' John 20:21. : : E Lesson Textr Acts 8:26-39. During- the' persecution of the fol- lowers of Christ -which succeeded the stoning ox stepnen, many of the dis- - ciples 5 fled from Jerusalem. Philip, one of the seven deacons, who had - ihein selected to help in the work of thj Churchy went to Samaria, where he successfully bore witness to his Lord.' In- the midst of his work, he suddenly felt' compelled to leave for , . the road which led from Jerusalem to Gaza. 1 Obedient to the call and following the impelling leadership, Philip saw a man orvbthonia. an eunuch of neat 'authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who - was over alf her : treasure, who had been to Jerusalem to worship and was returning home. . Approaching the. chariot, Philip heard r ; him' reading aloud to himself and the passage of Scripture which he was reading was from the prophecy of ;;:: Isaiah. i '; - Hailing the eunuch, Philip inquired, "Understandest thou what thou read- estT" It is evident that 'God was working from both ends leading the ' witness to the man and leading the - man, who should receive the mes ' BAflrfi. to - th witnpBd.

Beginning with Isaiah's pro- : pnecy concerning Jesus, ramp ; preached unto him Jesus, simply tell ing what he personally knew of him, 'which, after all, is all that a witness is supposed to tell. .'. So clear was his story and so, ef ' fectlvely was the message given that the eunuch received the message, ac cepted Jesus as his Saviour and then desired baptism with water by Philip. The closing portion of the Story tells of the eunuch and Philip going down Into thA wMr. with th haliovav im. mersed in the likeness of Christ s 'death and resurrection. When they came up out of the water, Philip was taken by the Spirit to a new, field of service and the saved eunuch Went on his way rejoicing. .
