cunday hool us christian brotherhood philemon 420 colden text there can be neith er bond nor free for ye all are one man in christ jesus galations 328 the lesson in its setting time the exact date for this brief epistle is not exactly known but it was probably written about ad 02 place it was written from rome where paul was a prisoner and sent to colosse a city lu southwest- eru phrygia i thank my god always making mention of thee in iny prayers pauls imprisonment did not prevent his constant intercession for others at the throne of grace hearing of thy love and ot the faith which thou hast toward the lord jesus and toward all tho saints love of christ should always beget love for those who belong to christ and faith in tho lord jesus will en- largo and multiply our faith in others that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual in tho knowl edge of every good thing which is in you unto christ the word here translated fellowship might well be translated communication meaning charitable distribution for i had much joy and comfort in thy love because the hearts of tho saints have been refreshed through thee brother just as a fath er is always delighted encouraged and rewarded when reports are brought to him of the honorable suc cessful beneficial life of one of his children so paul is ever grateful to god joyful and comforted in his own heart though in prison when he hears of one of his converts so ef fectively living out the life of christ that ij within him wherefore though i have all bold ness in christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting the apostle simply means to state th his apos tolic office and philemons obligation to him or hip conversion v 19 would warrant the apost j if so dis posed i laying his commands upon philemon in the matter about whlcli paul is now to speak yet for loves sake i rather be- eeech love has the right to ask anything honorable and true love would never ask anything not honor able being such a one as paul the aged paul was no- about co years of age but probably appeared much older because of the terrific hards s which bo had suffered and the enormous amount of work he had accomplished since his conversion and now a prisoner also of christ jesus the apostle makes a three fold appeal here his love for phile mon ihe comparative feebleness of his present physical condition due to nothing else than loyalty to jesus christ and bis helplessness as a prisoner in rome for christs sake i beseech thee for my child whom i have begotten in my bonds paul still postpones mentioning thj exact matter which has prompted the writ ing of this letter before he names the one about whom it principally is concerned he refers to him in the most affectionate manner calling him his own child of whoso conversion ho was the instrument no onl his spiritual child ut the spiritual child of his captivity onesinus onesi- mus was slave in philemons house hold who for one reason or another had run away probably stealing a considerable amount of plate or money before he disappeared who once was unprofitable to theo it so happens that tlu namo oneslmus means profitable helpful paul does not make light of the sin b 3 vnesimu3 had committed the slave had been unprofitable not only by stealing but by causing his master no little expense perhaps in attempt ing to apprehend him and his escape had no doubt had mere or less of a demoralizing influence among t other servants of the house but now is profitable to thee and to me any man becoming a christian should serve his cmplccr witu great er fidelity than before his conver sion for many reasons which will sug gest themselves at unce to the teacher whom i have sent back to thee in his own person that is my very heart it is cleai from this verst that one- simus was tho actual bearer of this letter to philemon see col 4 9 oneslmus was a piece of pauls very heart part of himself the unprofit able slave had wound himself around his affections and become so dear that to part with him was like cut ting his heart out of his bosom whom i would fain have kept with me that in thy behalf he might min ister unto me in the bonds of the gospel in these words the relation ot master and slave disappears for the moment both are servants for christs sake in the discharge of a ministry congenial to both but without thy mind i would do nothing- that thy goodness should not be as of necessity but of free will by this the apostle means that he would not keep oneslmus without philemons permission for perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season that thou shouldest have him for ever 1 no longer as a servant but more than a servant a brother beloved specially to me but how much rather to thee both in the flesh and in the lord the phrase for ever probably has a doublo significance neaning for all the years of the life that re mained to oneslmus on this earth and then for all the eternal ages to come in philemons company but oneslmus was coming back to his master a free man not that paul was asking for his emancipation but that christ had made him free and he was therefore truly a brother be loved if then thou countest me a part ner receive him as myself is not this exactly how we are received be fore god in jesus ch 1st all things are freely bestowed on us in the beloved eph 1 6 but if he hath wronged thee at all or oweth thee aught put that to mine account the lord jesiis christ became our brother heb 2 1418 and then became surety for us bear ing our own ns in his bod on thj tree 1 peter 2 25 i paul write it with mine own band i will repay it it would ap pear that paul wrote these and at least the two ollowing words with his own hand whether he wrote the entire letter with his own hand or only these few wonu or all the verses from nineteen to the end is a matter of speculation that i say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides every christian who has had an experience of conversion through the agency of another person loves that person un til his death and there are thous ands of such examples today through out the world yea brother let me have joy of thee in the lord refresh my heart in christ pauls joy in philemon would abound when he was assured that philemon would grant his re quest in receiving oneslmus back into his household as a child of god verse 7 expresses his gratitude that in the house of philemon many of the saints had been refreshed now he asks that this refreshing might be extended to him clear the road for red wings bumping checker the huggard case writes the

sweeping manitoba since june has claimed more victims than any previous outbreak offical figures showed last week of 474 case3 list ed gl were in winnipeg seventeen persons died guilty in court were each sentenced to five years in the penitentiary on a series of charges involving theft receiving forgery and uttering these men were involved in the dis appearance of approximately 100- 000 worth of securities of john j huggards clients in the seaforth district which were alleged to be stolen or received by tl a brokers whose business was closed several months ago by the ontario securi ties commission huggard was some time ago sentenced to serve three years in the penitentiary for his share in the theft thus the two brokers are given severer sentences than that imposed upon huggard by two years it is evident thit the court considered that they were more io blame than huggard and that the latter was something of a tool in their hands thus the chief actors in this un fortunate crime have all been pun ished but that brings no relief to the numerous clients of huggard who suffered tho loss of their property in some instances aged people were left practically penniless while wid ows and children were deprived of provision for their comfort what the people of ontario desire is not merely the punishment of those who were responsible for these tragic misfortunes but also the assurance that such gross embezzlement can never occur again if the law as it stands at present does not afford sufficient protection to those who en trust their securities to the care of lawyers it should be amended at the next session of the legislature the case of huggard exposed the weakness of the e sting law at its worst and it isdiscreditable to on tario that such a state of affairs could come to pass in answer to the proposal that lawyers should be bonded innumerable objections have been raised regarding its practicabil ity surely however the law soci ety of the province i3 capable of
