LESSON FOR DECEMBER 11 PAUL WRITE 3 TO A FRIEND. LEHBON TEXT—Philemon. GOLDEN TEXT—Whosoever would be chief among you, let him be your servant.—Mutt. 20:27. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Deut. 10:1210; John 13:14. 30; I Cor. 1:28-29: Col. 3:9-11; Jus. 2:1-®. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of a Runaway Slave. JUNIOR TOPlC—Paul's Kindness to a Runaway Slave. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Paul pleading for a Slave. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Social Teacldngs of the Letter to Philemon, This Is a private letter. Philemon was a member of the church at Colosse. Onesliuus, Ills slave, wronged him, perhaps stole from him, and fled to Rome. There he came under Paul’s Influence and was converted. Paul sent Onesimus back to Philemon with this letter. This is one of the most tender and beautiful letters ever written, and the first anti-slavery petition ever penned. I. The Salutation (w. 1-3). His aim was to touch Philemon’s heart, so refers to himself as a prisoner, and links Philemon to himself as a fellow-laborer In the Gospel of truth. He makes mention of Apphla, Philemon’s wife, and Archlppus, the son, who had already enlisted as a fel-low-soldier. 11. Philemon's Reputation (w. 4-7), Paul paid a fine tribute to Philemon, reminding him that he never prayed without bearing him up before, God. This is a fine example of tact on the part of the minister. 1. His faith and love toward the Lord and all saints (v. 5). It was his hope and desire that this faith might bear fruit in Christ Jesus. 2. His ministry to the saints (v. 7). 1 Philemon was generous in his help to the poor saints. 111. Paul’s Request (vy. 8-10). He requested Philemon to receive bock Oneslmus, the runaway slave, as a brother in Christ. 1. He beseeches Instead of com-' mands (vv. 8-10). Though conscious of i his right to enjoin, he pleads as the 1 prisoner of Jesus Christ for love’s I sake. ! 2. He makes his plea on the grounds of grace (w. 11-14). He admitted that Oneslmus had been unprofitable—had forfeited all claim upon Philemon, and that on grounds of Justice his plea might well be rejected, and yet Oneslmus wus begot- ; ten In his bonds (v. 10) —was In a real sense a part of his own suffering nature (v. 12) —he ventured to suggest that he should be accepted. Though Oneslmus hitherto had been unprofitable to his master, now was profitable to both Paul aud Philemon. Paul would gladly have retained him as a personal attendant, but sought first his friend’s permission. 3. Paul desired that Oneslmus be received back not as a slave, but as a brother in Christ (vv. 15, 10). Here Is the real fugitive slave law. Paul never attacked slavery, though It was contrary to Christianity, and therefore hateful to him, but emphasized principles which destroyed it. The establishment of Christianity changes the whole face of human society. The wise thing to do Is to get men and women regenerated and thus transform society Instead of seeking change by revolution. In Paul’s request you can hear the pleadings of Christ for us sinners. All men have broken loose —gone astray—and have become unprofitable. We are reconciled to God through the Interceding of Christ. He has made us profitable. We have been begotten In Ills bonds—through His passion, agony of heart, we shall be changed. 111. The Basis Upon Which Oneslmus Is to Be Received (vv. 17-21). The debt of guilty Onesimus Is to be put to the account of Paul, and the merit of Paul Is to be put to the account of Onesimus. This is a fine Illustration of the atonement of Christ. Whatever wrongs we have committed —debt incurred—all our shortcomings are debited to Him. Jesus Christ, ou behalf of the whole universe, has said to God: “Put that to my account; I have written with my pierced hand: I will repay." Oneslmus was taken back, not as a runaway slave, but a beloved brother In Christ. IV. Paul Requests Lodging (w. 2225). lie expected a speedy release from Imprisonment, and purposed to sojourn with Philemon. In all probability this was realized. What a welcome he must have received! Jesus Christ Is saying to every one of His redeemed ones, "Prepare me a lodging." The Lord Changeth Not And I will come near to you to judgment; I will be a swift witness against false swearers, aud against those that oppress the hireling In his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from Ills right, and fear not me, salth the Lord of hosts. For I am the Lord, I change not. —Malachl 3: 5, 0. Prophecy as to Backslider. Now the spirit speaketh expressly that In the latter times some shall de(jftrt from the faltli. —I Timothy, 4:1.

CABINET OFFICERS BOOST EDUCATION Major Bradley Martin, President National Kindergarten Association, 8 W. 40th Street, New York City. My Dear Major Martin: — I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter requesting an expression of my views with reference to the Importance of providing kindergarten education for the nation's children. I believe the kindergarten offers an effective means of training very young children, preparing them for the studies to be undertaken in the graded schools, and fostering a spirit of real patriotism and Americanism. Yours very truly, (Signed) JOHN W. WEEKS, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. Major Bradley Martin, President, National Kindergurteu Association, 8 W. 40th Street, New oYrk City. My dear Major Martin: — While nearly four million children in America are deprived of kindergarten training no effort should he spared to have classes opened In all of our public schools. The people of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Kansas have recently expressed themselves emphatically on this subject by enacting laws which provide for kindergartens upon petition of parents. The movement for more kindergartens recommended by President Harding has my hearty endorsement. It will result In a priceless wealth of character, Intelligence and service to the nation. Very truly yours, (Signed) 11. M. DAUGHERTY, Attorney General, Washington, D. C. ———• COUNTY SCHOOLS (Continued from page one) Salvation Army. United States Chamber of Commerce. Women’s Relief Corps.
