6000 New Bell Telephones
In Georgia In 1923
*jrHE telephone construction programme
ill in Georgia and throughout the South
this year has been the largest ever un
dertaken by the Bell System.
The investment in Georgia alone this
year will amount to more than $2,000,000
for new equipment, new telephones, new
wire, new switchboards, new central office
equipment and new buildings.
Practically all this expenditure was new
money secured from investors who have
faith m the future growth and development
of our State.
Such an investment enabled us to break
all previous records and make a net gain of
approximately 6,286 new telephone stations
in Georgia this year.
To do this it was necessary to install
21,772 telephones and discontinue 15,486.
There are now more than 103,400 Bell
telephones in Georgia and we must continue
building to keep pace with the growing tele
phone needs of Georgia and of the South.

Activity.
I. The Gospel Spreads to Samaria
(Acts 8:4-8; 14-17; 25).
1. Philip Preaching the Gospel in
Samaria (vv. 4-8). Following the ston
ing of Stephen the enemies of the Lord
were more active than ever In their
efforts to stamp out the new faith.
With Saul as their leader they dragged
from their homes and imprisoned those
who confessed Christ, but the Devil
overreached himself In this, for this
scattered the believers everywhere,
and they preached the Gospel as they
went. The time had now come for the
witness-bearing to extend beyond Je
rusalem and Judea as the Lord had
commanded. The Lord permitted the
persecution so «as to scatter them.
2. Peter and John Visit Samaria
(w. 14-17; 25). When the Apostles
heard of Philip’s work in Samaria they
sent two of their best men to encourage
it. These men had discernment to
know that the spirit had not yet fallen
upon the believers, so they laid hands
upon them and the Spirit was given
them. These Samaritans were really
converted, regenerated, but had not yet
been filled with the Spirit. In this they
were like many church members today
without the Spirit’s gift.
3. Philip Preaching to the Ethiopian
Eunuch (Acts 8:30-40). In the con
version of the eunuch we see the Lord’s
work still broadening. The Gospel was
first preached to the Samaritans who
were nationally on the borderland be
tween the Jews and the Gentiles. This
Ethiopian was In all probability a Gen
tile, a proselyte to the Jewish faith. In
his conversion we see the work reach
ing afar, even on its way to the ends
of the earth. By divine direction Philip
left his great work in Samaria and was
directed to the eunuch. The Spirit of
God directed him to go and join him
self to the chariot of the Ethiopian.
The coming together of these two men
In the desert was providential. (1) The
eunuch’s employment on the way. He
was reading the Word of God. (2) The
absolute need of a preacher. The
eunuch was reading the fifty-third
chapter of Isaiah, one of the clearest
testimonies of the Messiah in the Old
Testament, yet was unable to under
stand It. The one thing needed in the
salvation of men is for the saved man
to bring the message to the unsaved.
(3) The message of Philip was Jesus.
He began at the Scriptures and
preached Jesus. The central theme of
the preacher’s message should be Je
sus. (4) The eunuch baptized. As a
consequence of Philip’s preaching the
eunuch proposed baptism. Men who
accept the message of salvation in
Christ naturally demand baptism.
11. The Conversion of Saul (Acts 9:
1-80).
The great apostle of the Gentiles Is
now laid hold of by the Lord Jesus and
made a flaming evangel of the Cross to
the whole world. We thus see the Lord
making ready for the widest dissemi
nation of the Gospel of His grace.
111. The Gospel Spreads to Asia
Miner (Acts 9:81-15:85).
1. Peter at Joppa (Acts 9:32-43).
On his tour of evangelizing Peter came
down to Joppa and lodged with Simon,
a tanner. This shows the widening of
his sympathy in that a Jew was willing
to lodge with one of such an occupa
tion.
2. The Conversion of Cornelius (Aets
10). In the conversion of this Gentile
and the coming of the Spirit upon him,
the middle wall of partition between
Jew and Gentile was broken down.
The way was now open for the further
outreach of the Gospel.
8. Paul’s First Missionary Journey
(Acts 13, 14). The Spirit of God now
came upon the church for the definite
purpose of preaching the Gospel to the
whole world. Paul and Barnabas with
John Mark went out preachihg the
Gospel through the provinces of Asia
Minor.
4. The Conditions of Gentile Salva
tion Settled (Acts 15:1-35). Before the
Gospel could be preached to the whole
world the dispute In the church over
the condition of Gentile salvation had
to be settled, so a council was held at
Jerusalem in \Vhich these conditions
were clearly settled.

RICHARD LLOYD^NES/g^,
| Be A Leader \3rL<fa
What a man does to help or harm himself is of little concern to
the world, but what he doee to help or baron the mimj is of much con
cern
Edward Everett Hale told us that many a “fathead” has gained
a reputation for l>eing Vsafe” simply because he didn’t have brains
enough to play anything else but “safe.” To Illustrate, he tells of
a man he knew who acquired a local reputation for virtue among the
thoughtless because he was always telling how careful he was to pro
tect his own body from alcoholic and other harms. Among the same
people he established a reputation for wisdom because In the legislative
chambers where he held a seat he confined his public utterances to two
speeches, one, “There has been so much said and so well said that I can
add nothing”; the other, “I quite agree with the gentleman on the other
side of the house.”
Very broad, liberal and convincing, this chap!
Put negative goodness on the scale that weighs virtue and you will
find the index finger on the dial has not left zero. The virtue that
weighs has force, passion, fire, resolution, determination, GO.
Virtue is measured by one’s eagerness to save not alone himself
but others, not to keep himself alone In the channel of the stream but
to bring the driftwood of the edges into the current as well,
k, The makers of progress are they who try to help other progress,
j A mediocre mind can say, “Me too.” A weak mind can say “I
don’t.” It takes a great man to hold a great Idea and to lift it up
that all may see It. •
I Progress is not afTected by the derelict but by the driver in whoa#
heart is found the passion not for one man’s preservation but for all
men’s, not for advantage, but for Justice; who ia not concerned about
what the world may think of him but about what he thinks of the world
