This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...soul. He deigns to lead two men into contact. Christ " loved the world," "loved the church," but not less "loved me, and gave himself for me "; so the Spirit loves and leads the individual soul, expending all the divine energy of his power and wisdom upon one inquirer and one teacher. He has been doing just such individual work ever since, and will continue such work till the end of the age. Nor does this eighth chapter close until we have one more glimpse of this individual dealing. For when the eunuch, believing, had received baptism at the hands of the evangelist, it is added: "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD cnuonr AWAY PHILIP." The obvious impression is that of a supernatural " rapture." The errand of the Spirit was accomAcents1=viii-so.4m plished, and he removed the messenger, and he was found at Azotus, miles distant. Not only did the Holy Spirit condescend to bring these two men together, but, so soon as the special service to which Philip was called was fulfilled, he caught him up and bore him away to another quarter. We are reminded of that journey taken Math xv-=1-by Christ from the Galilean lake to those same coasts of Cesarea, taken, apparently, for the sole purpose of imparting blessing to that needy woman of Canaan whose daughter was grievously vexed with a demon; for, on the entire journey to and fro, no other miracle of Christ is recorded, no other act done. The narrative of Saul's conversion follows. Here the Lord Jesus in his proper person appears very conspicuous, as in the gospel narratives, but as in no other place in this book of the Acts of the Holy Ghost. For the time we lose sight of the Spirit, as though the Lord himself had returned, and the Paraclete.
