away but had probable stolen some
property when he left and would
have been subject to severe pun
lahment. perhaps death Knowing
his master was a Christian, he waa
willing to return and adjust the
wrong.
Without the love of Christ in their
hearts we can understand that the
meeting of Philemon and Onesim

ugly indeed. Transformed by the
spirit of brotherly love their ad

someone asked what the Civil W*r
cost they were told that it ran into
the millions It was then suggested
that had that money been used to
remunerate the slave holders In the
south, there would have never been
a Civil War. In addition, there
would never have been th# thou

mirth and south The practice of
the brotherhood of man guarantees
a saving in lives and rath
Paul further eaaed the mind of
Philemon by saying that Onealmus
had been id service to him while
in prison That service to Paul
was a gift from Philemon and while
he might have kept Oneximua
Philemon would have resented or
trudged him further use of the
•lave In returning him however,
he hopes that Philemon will ‘do
more than I say’ and perhaps ro
lease Onetimus from slavery en
tirely.
If tht* is a practical lesaon in
Christianity, then we ahould note
the action of the leader, Jesus him j
•elf. He practiced the brotherhood
of man W'omen and children were
the same as men to him. He took
no cognizance of slaves other than
that thev were men subject to ail
the feelings hope*. Jnvs and anr>

the rich and poor with publicans
and siimert without calling alien
attention to R. To Jesua there were
Just two classes of men. thoae serv
ing God and thoae living to the
flesh.
