Challenge of The New Year Rev. J. R. Meadows Present times and conditions should be a challenge to the church, and will be if the church takes a Christian attitude toward them. A light never shines with such effect as with a background of darkness. Jesus said to His disciples that they were the light of the world, the salt of the earth, sheep among wolves. What figures! Here at the beginning of 1958 is a world in spiritual and mental darkness; a world in the process of decay; a world controlled by the spirit of a snarling, biting, devouring wolf. Today the world is brok-en-hearted. discouraged, seeking for comfort —for something real The Firs! State Baek ftEUATUR, IND. ESTABLISHED 1883 • MEMBER F.D.I.C. Habegger Builders & Supply, Inc. Bente.

and dependable. This is the oppor-. tunity for the real Christian. This is the real opportunity to prove and manifest the spirit of self denial and consecration. Now is our time to prove God, give evidence lof faith, to let the world know i that we can be happy while the <,world is broken-hearted, that we can smile while frown, that we f can put God and His church first, that we are real workers together ‘ with Christ in giving salvation to mep when they nced.it most. This Is no time to quit. This is the time Io fight. This is no time to doubt. This is the time to believe God. May this coming year be one in which the’record will be broken ; in the winning of souls ,for our Lord Jesus Christ. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” — Revelations 22;14. Love can actually produce miracles if we allow it to-be the dominating basis of all our actions. Small faith will take you to heaven, but great faith will bring heaven to you Spurgeon.

IKWuriw JI MM lnl«wn.l UnJon. m L«~on, 188 Serk.reae. B.ri.iar.i PhU.aian. ...U.aal R.«ef.,i Kph.Mau S:lln Brothers in Christ Lesson for December 29, 1957 it BROTHERHOOD" is a word that gets kicked around a lot. Thera are all sorts of brotherhoods. and most of them are good. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is a sample of many

Dr. Foreman

groups held together by the same kind of work and skill. We can talk of the brotherhood of Americans, or of artists, or of the same battalion in' an army. We can speak of the

brotherhood of suffering. “Brothers in Christ," however are closer to one another than even those who have the same father and mother. We could not go into this and show why it is. But let us follow Paul’s lead and think how this • works. The little note he wrote to Philemon brings together in Christian brotherhood two men who were about as far apart as two men could be; for one of them. Philemon, was a master end Onesimus, the other, was his slave. Rutarsd Onesimus was worse than a slave. He had stolen from his master and ran away. Somehow or other, probably in jail, he had run across Pau! and became one of the many w >m Paul led to Christ. Now Paul might have said to him: "Now, Onesimus, you are my Christian brother and Philemon's too. The past is all wiped clean, God has forgiven your sins. Stay here in Rome, take a fresh start, leave your old life behind. I’ll never let on to Philemon that I ever met you." But Paul did not look at it that way. The first thing Onesimus bad to do was the hardest. He had to go back to Philemon and give himself up. The letter -to Philemon urges that gentleman to remember that Onesimus Is now also his brother; but Paul may have had to do some tall persuading. $ make Onesimus see that Philemon was his brother. Brotherhood, in short, as Christians at their pest understand it, does not cancel out obligations. If I owe a Christian ten dollars, I can't gaily write it off because it's “all in thC family.” If I have slandered a fellow-Christian or wronged one in any way, the very fact that we are brothers, so far from excusing me, lays on me a special duty to make all the restitution I possibly can. Let us not go into the New Year, if we can help it, owing any man —“except to love one another.” RaconollbG This return of Onesimus, as Paul hoped, would be more than restoration of an absent slave and at least some of the missing money. It would be a reconciliation. (Paul’s hopes probably were realized, otherwise one suspects this little letter would have been saved.) Now reconciliation is very difficult, because it involves something in the heart. You can restore all the externals of the old relationship,—the runaway slave can come back, the estranged husbaid and wife can move into the same apartment, the countries lately fighting can send ambassadors to each other again, and so forth. But unless something happens in the hearts of these people, the restoration is going to be something formal at best, galling and intolerable at worst. There has to be forgiveness on at least one side in all human reconciliation; usually two sides. Who knows why Onesimus ran away? If Philemon had been the ideal master, Onesimus might have preferred to stay home. And if we can guess that Onesimus had something to forgive, we know that Philemon had. But brotherhood means love, if it means anything. Brotherhood in Christ means Christlike love. Rilrishld Paul, as the reader of his letter will notice, asks Philemon to live out his brotherhood,—but not for his sake and that of Onesimus alone. The restoration and reconciliation which Paul prays for, Will “refresh the hearts” of a good many people. It is not true that my relations with you and yours with me affect us two alone. A family reconciliation may make a difference far beyond- the household. This is a sad world, a weary world. And the weariness comes partly from listening to so much jangling and wrangling. As the bells ring out the Old Year, h6w wonderful, how refreshing to heart, if they ring out old quarrels, old presentments! Christian brotherhood is a bell with farheard overtones of peace. Love is the divine vitality that can vitalize and will Jiving. - • _ The healthy state of mind is the love of meh.
