7. What was his message to the Sa maritans? (v. 5.) Is not this the only message of the Church, and do not we fail in our task if we do not seek to win men to H im as the only Saviour and Lord? (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; John 3:36.) 8. What was the result of Philip’s preaching? (w . 5-12.) What brings the greatest joy to any heart, any home, any city, any community? (v. 8.)

But we must not forget that the greatest contribution to the world has come, not through men of war, but through men of God who have brought the love of God in Jesus Christ to the nations. STUDY QUESTIONS 1. What act of faith and obedience did Noah perform? (Heb. 11:7.) 2. W h y did he do this thing? Discuss the need for faith and obedience on the part of every believer if he is going to count for Christ (Matt. 7:21-23; Rom. 6:17, etc.). 3. What was the result of Noah’s faith and obedience? (v. 7.) Discuss these two things with regard to the believer’s life today. 4. What is the distinctive word about Abraham in Heb. 11:8? 5. What else is said of Abraham in v. 9? 6. W h y did Abraham risk life and all to obey God? (v. 10.) 7. What should be the Christian’s goal in this life? (Phil. 3:10-14.) Do you not think it makes supreme sense to invest our life So that the highest dividends re turn? Is it not best to think in terms of eternity rather than of fleeting time? (cp. Matt. 6:19-24; Col. 3:1-4; Phil. 3:20; Titus 2:11-14.) 8. Strong men are also men of peace. This does not mean that they w ill not fight for a righteous cause, but they love peace and seek to make peace. In this connection, what is the admonition of Paul in Romans 12:18? H ow can we do this? 9. What does the Saviour mean in Matt. 5:9? W h y are peacemakers called children of God? (cp. Rom. 15:5; Phil. 4:7.) END.
