I i ab&arsa Creamed Comments on the'Sunday School Lesson, A Slave Becomes a Brother, Philemon, 1:8-22, for Sunday, September 27. Here is a personal letter from fiiend to friend and it relates to the Institution of slavery which is not countenanced .by the teachings of Christ. Paul's approach to the rich Christian friend, Philemon is on the ground of love, the way of solving the slavery problem. ,

V. 8. “Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoy thee that which is convenient,” Paul says that his is sure bhat he knows Philemon well enough that ho can a»k a favor. Brotherhood implies frankness. V. 9. “Yea for love’s sake I rathex* beseech thee, being such as one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christy” Paul strenthens his. proposed appeal by these three facts: prompted by love, being an old man, and being tn prison for Christ’s sake. V. 10. “I beseech thee for my son Luesimus, whom I have begotten by my bonds.” Paul gave Onesimus the status of a Christian who with other Christians were called sons. This sieve was dear io Paul, and since Paul and Philemon were friends there must be a welcome place by Philemon for his old slave. V. 11. “Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and me.” Formerly Onesimus had not lived up to bls name which means being profitable, but since becoming a Christian he was doing so \ V. 92. “Whom 1 have sent again; thou therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels.” Paul would obey the civil law, viz., returning a slave to his master, but in so doing Paul would know that his heart yearned. V. 13. "Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead

We never know how much one loves us till we know how much he is willing to endure and suffer for us; and it is the suffering element that measures hive, character* that are great, must, of necessity, be that shall be willing, patient and strong to endure for others. -Henry Ward Beecher. . ! i ' CURIOUS SAYS: “Christians should always feel free to discuss with each other ujoral and spiritual Issues. .Even when such are extremely personal and involve one’s possessions, there ought to be such a spirit of understanding and love as to permit free and frank dissuasions. his should be doubly true when the given issues involves the freedom; or moral and spiritual welfare of another brother.” \ <■ Under the sponsorship of the American Friend* Service Committee, 49 Navajo and Hopi Indian children with adult* from, each tribe spent an enjoyable summer vacation in 36 California homes, the purpose being to create understanding and respect between Indians and non-lndians.

he might have ministered to me, in the ‘bonds of the gospel.” Paul desired the ministry of Onesimus who did what likely Philemon woulo have been glad to da Here is an added appeal 'V. .14 “ißut without thy mind I would do nothing that thy benefit shouli not be es as it were of necessity but willingly.” Paul respects the right of Philemon, here is ta ight also that a Christian nkist act voluntarily and not by force.': V.lS|. “For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him forever.” Out of past experiences of slavery theire would arise an immortal fellowship. To all who ere true disciples, cwt of hardships will emerge* a larger and richer life. V. 17-, “If thou therefore count me a partner, receive him as my sell.” Paul finally reached the conclustori, a changed life has changed the situation entirely. \ V.lB. ’’lf he hath wronged thee or owest thee ought, put that on mine account.” If bookeeping was necessary, Paul would hae an avccount opened being charged with Onesimus* debt. Note here the picture of Christ on the cross. y. 19. “1 Paul have written it with miine own hand, I will repay it; albeit 1 do noi say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.” he words “1 will repay” amounted to a promissory note in OUT day. But before such action takes place, Philemon and others should be reminded of the great debt paid by Christ tor our pardon and acceptance in the kingdom of God. V. 20. [‘Yea, brother.; let me have joy of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord.” Christians rejoice in the fruitage of their labors, and in this case, it is showing brotherly love to one once despised. To remove the shackles of discrimination and slavery is a source of great joy. V. 21|. ‘Having confidence ib thy obedience f wrote unto thee knowing, that thou will do also more than I say.” When one expects the best in another thdi-e wfil usually follow a finer lite. r - ,
