Fort Wayne. 24-How Strike Is Effective In Paris PARIS (UPD—Paris, "the City of Light,” was a dark and cold metropolis today. And so was the rest of France. An estimated 2 5 million public service workers staged a 24-hour strike in support of their demands for bettor working conditions and higher wages. Lights were out. heat was off, trains were not running, industry was crippled and business slowed to a crawl., Many firms simply gave their employes, the day off O'hers functioned tar below normal. The strike was called by the country's three biggest union {federations —Independent. Communist and Socialist. They want a higher percentage wage increase than the government is willing to concede. But President Charles de Gaulle is determined to hold the line in a test of force in his bid to stave off further inflation. Early automobile commuters groped in rainy gloom through unlighted streets. Collisions at intersections were frequent, both in Paris and other cities. Some pedestrians, nearly invisible in the drizzle, darted through traffic carrying flashlights io signal oncoming cars. ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH (Friedheim) A. A.

oner (on false charges; the prison was real enough), and one a free man. What was It these throe am had te cemmeeT The Thief and the Victim One of these three was a man of property. He was at least rich enough to own a slave. The rich man was named Philemon, the slave Onesimus. The name was a kind of joke, perhaps, for the word Onesimus in Greek means useful er beneficial. Perhaps' Philemon hoped Onesimus lived* up to his name.. Perhaps he thought — like a modern man who has gone to the wrong usedcar dealer — that he had been; gypped in the nsed-slave deaf and been stuck with a slave who' would never in the world be of j any real use. Anyhow, this One-, simus had decided to go to, Rome. Naturally he did not consult his master about this. Rome was a long way from Colossae where he lived, so he borrowed the money (again without mentioning it to Philemon). So he became a wanted man; wanted' as a runaway slave, wanted as a runaway thief. Somehow or; other he got into jail at Rome, , probably because he had committed some other illegal act. But in jail, besides all the usual jailbirds, he met a most unusual man named Paul, who "by chance" knew Philemon and per-' haps bad seen Onesimus loafing about the house. Now the strange thing here is that Paul and the thief Onesimus actually became i friends. No less than Paul tried ito bring together and reconcile jtho thief and his victim. What ’was ft that made Paul think he could possibly persuade the two men to live together as brothers? Above the law? Take another look at those three men. One of them, to judge from Paul’s attitude to him, lived well within the law. You would (have teen surprised to hear of Philemon in jaiL Onesimus was another sort of bird. Finding I him in jail was a shock to no- ! body. He lived outside the law. Neither Philemon nor Onesimus, when you come to think of ft, paid much attention to the law. Philemon didn’t because he ! didn’t need to. He was already • better man titan the law required. Christ Is the answer ; At the risk of insulting the readers’ intelligence, let us suggest the answer — it is all the same one — to the questions that have been asked. What did these three men have in common? At first, perhaps little. In the end, Christ. They were all three slaves (as Paul would put it} of Christ, they were Christ’s men. He is the answer to the question: how can we get over the terriers between man and man, class and class? Again, what made Paul think he could reconcile a thief and his victim? The answer is, Christ had come into the life of Onesimus. He intended to live up to his name. Christ had made a new man of him. Or again: what law is higher than the highest human court of justice? It is the law of Christ, which means the law of love. .In this short letter Paul mentions Onesimus about four times, but Christ eleven times. Our human problems woold not be wiped out, but we woold be on the way I to salving them, if Christ were invited into every tense and angry situation.
