propitiou- and comfortable but because he was experiencing the tri umph of christ in the midst of trying conditions for we must remember that he was at this time a prisoner he was a pri soner in rome but h was the prisoner of jesus christ eph 31 and that made all the dif ference instead of bemoan ing his hard lot and fretting at his enforced inactivity he was rejoicing to see the marvelous overruling of god so that the apparent tragedy of his incar ceration was proving to be gods means of advancing the gospel phil 112 ei- in this passage the apostle seems to have almost a boyish delight in the frustration of his ene mies purposes and in the pro gress of the testimony 61 christ here is a veritable chuckle in liis language at this point and throughout the delightful little epistle the tone of radiant jov does not diminish even when there is some strong teaching to be given as in the third chapter bishop moule draws a com parison between thi- and the other short letters of paul he savs that it i- more peaceful man galatians more personal and affectionate than ephes- ians less anxiously controver sial than colossians more de liberate and symmetrical than thessalonians and of course larger in its applications than the personal messages to tim othy titus and philemon h cg moule philippian studies hodcler and stoughton 18w the occasion of the letter is interesting the saints at phil- ippi had sent an offering to paul in rome 11018 by the hands of epaphroditus who apparently as a result of the trving journey had experienc ed a dangerous illness 22527 on his recovery paul sent by his hands this letter of thanks and of love with its note of triumph and its kindly exhor tations the date is variously estimated from ad 01 to 03 the story of tbe founding of the church at philippi acts lil 110 should certainly be read in connection with this lesson and it should be kept in mind that this was a roman community a colony with but a small jewish element it was then largely a gentile church verse by verse phil 112 the things have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel the things referred to pertain to his imprisonment although in his own hired house acts 28 30 31 instead of hindering the work of the gospel as might have been feared these circumstances had given it new impetus verse 13 my bonds in christ are manifest in all the palace it became clear to the soldiers of the imperial guards who had charge of paul that his imprisonment was for christs sake not for some crime and they spread the news abroad for palace read praetorian guard with asv verse 11 and many of the brethren are much more bold to speak pauls chain instead of intimidating the weak among the christians challenged them to a courag eous witness verse 15 some indeed preach christ even of envy and strife pauls leadership was often challenged and in rome no less than elsewhere in one respect the apostles imprison ment was enhancing his lea dership so those who sought to undermine him worked all the harder to build a following apart from paul verse 10 the one preach christ of contention to add affliction to my bonds the bonds were galling enough to a noble free soul but the un christian action of brethren was more distressing verse 17 but the other of iove set for the defence of the gospel others wtre stir red to ardent witness bv pauls soldierly conduct and their love for christ set here is used in the military sense posted verse is what then christ is preached and i rejoice he lived above the personal petty strife he could not rejoice in the wrong mo-

ton 1 believe the latter ov ercoming this twofold distres sing situation captivity and factional strife through the enabling of the holv spirit in answer to the prayer- of his philippian friend- would deep en ms own life verse 20 with all boidj ness christ shall be mag nified in my body by life or by death at this point there is no indication what the result of the impending appeal to caesar will be paul only seeks to be filled with a holy boldness to witness for christ he offers his bodv for service or for sacrifice at the will of his lord verse 21 for to me to live is christ and to die is gain xoi unless we are prepared to say the first have we a right to hope for the second verse 22 this is the fruit of my labour a difficult phrase but it points out pauls attitude to life here not a bur den that he would fain be rid of but opportunity for fruitful work yet another attraction rivals his desire to continue in the harness verse 23 having a desire to depart and to be with christ i which is far better this is the counter attraction which makes choice difficult if he had only himself to consider he would immediately choose to go for earth holds no attraction like being with christ verse 2l nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more need- fid for you it was the need of others that made paul re nounce what would otherwise have been most welcome to him verse 25 i know that i shall continue for your furtherance and joy of faith the sense of his work not yet being finished made him not only willing to stay but sure that he would it was this and not any indication of the im perial attitude that gave paul an assurance of the issue of his trial in rome verse 20 that your re joicing may be more abundant by my coming to you again for rejoicing read ground of glorying and it will be clearer that pauls concern was that his release should be the means of the lords being mag nified in the eyes of the saints verse 27 only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of christ glory ing in christ must be accom panied by glorifying of christ through conduct that harmon izes with this great gospel of redemption the heart of the lesson again and again what seem ed like unmitigated calamity and promised only ruin to the work of god has turned out to the progress of the gospel sometimes indeed it required the passing of time to make manifest the beneficial results how some things have aided rather than destroyed we may not know til the great unveil ing but this is certain with god there is no defeat and we may write as the basic philoso phy of history the further ance of the gospel the imprisonment of paul threatened a retarding if not the cessation of the testimony of christ in rome and church es in the farther reaches of the empire trembled for the fu ture the apostle however looked out from his confine ment with far other prospects and wrote his glad assurance to his friends at philippi al ready he could see the fruit of what had befallen him ripen ing in rome itself his own testimony was having its ef fect on the soldiers of the imper ial guard who were detailed to watch over this strange pris oner so that the whole regi ment was talking about this man who was in chains for christ again so far from dis couraging the saints in rome pauls presence among them al though as a prisoner was stir ring even the feeble ones a- mong them to bold witnessing but paul had enemies in rome strangely enough a- mong the christians they re sented pauls leadership among the churches and thought that his imprisonment would end his leadership if only they could launch a strong campaign no connected with his name so they became vigorous in prea ching chris with the ulterior motive of overshadowing paul instead of being disturbed a- bout it paul rejoiced not in the motive which prompted the preaching but in the fact that christ was preached so in three ivoys the gospel wi- profittjng from pauls tribulation what about the future siin pauls thought was for the progress of the gospel for his own sake he would have been gj d to be sent out to death for christs sake at the emperor- command that would be gain to him since be ing with christ i- very far ctter but he saw that the furtherance of the gospel es pecially among the philippian- required his liberation and he accepted the return to toil and labour for the gospel- sike and for the sake of tnofec a ho needed his ministry so he regarded the furtherance oft gormley mrs rb bonis or west hill spent last week with the britnelts at chithurch farm a miscellaneous shower was
