PAUL’S LETTER TO PHILEMON
Philemon 4-20 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
This is the tims you will surely read an entire book, and without ask-
»1 “What chapter, please,” as did a c' tain thealogue when Prof. Pur-
indicated a verse for special study. Then you will need to make
■«mt3dn of the pronunciation, which is on the long “e”.
Onesimus is a slave who stole from his master Philemon, and then
lacan away. Finally he turned up in Rome and dropped in at one of
meetings. Now Paul knew Phileman well and may even have
.^recognized the slave. At least Onesimus was a totally different man
JTellowing his conversion. Then he consulted with Paul about the right
''•aj to recompense Philemon, for he was still the chattel of the owner.
Obviously, only one person could be the judge, but Paul made the ap-
jprrach easy by the gracious letter which he wrote and of which
Onesimus, possibly with Tychicus, was the bearer.
Art in letter writing is splendidly set forth in this short letter. Some
jgnqple just write bare facts in their letters and others make them-
*wlves vivid both in direct expression and as you read between the
It is a joy to get a letter from such a friend.
Afoch is packed into the salutation. The family of Philemon is in-
in the greeting. The commendations will be pleasing to the
received, and it must be kept in mind that Paul is writing for .a pur-
TPpee: to gain kindly treatment of runaway Onesimus.
Slavery today is all but over in the world. There are obligations still
reference to enslaved humanity which rest on each of us. The
<3o]deit Text is sweeping in its scope: “There can be neither bond nor
—for all are one man in Christ Jesus,” Galatians, 3:28. How do
yvm think Philemon received Onesimus?

;
SPEAKING OF TEETH
T doubt if any one ever fully appreciates his or her teeth quite so
as when they have just been all extracted by the dentist. When
t victim struggles through the agonizing days, trying to “break in”
new set of artificial teeth he remembers what a treasure he has lost
his natural teeth; if it were to do over again, he’d treat those na-
molars and incisors with a great deal more of respect than he did
he had them.
^The modern advice as to care of the teeth is plenty voluminous; the
’wave sizzles with the bray of the charlatan. The hawker merci-
besets you with his sugar-coated nostrum, and wise columnists
you tooth-theories, sophistries and “isms.” . . . Those and many
Why should I add my bit? Well, common sense at this time
■Mams not be amiss. \
There is no law on God’s green earth that requires obedience as to

•sAwtld ^pply a nostrum to any part of the mouth, gums, teeth or
S&ruat. just the simple, well-known admonition: Be clean, alert
asadnst any harmful practice—and consult your dentist at the first
"syvpptom of rebellion in the dental region. There is no minimum or
tfliximum on your visits to the tooth doctor; go when you need his
•mervices, be it one, none, or twenty times a year.
'Continual and senseless scrubbing of the teeth is highly capable of
cBtiiag grave harm; many a case of pyorrhoea has been set up by the
of septic tooth brushes; the enamel of your teeth was not put
as a field for exploitation by the swarm of nostrum-vendors that
the land. Nature gave us about all we need in fobd-elements
keeping the teeth clean. Look for them and use them—and don’t
everything you hear.
There is only one right way to do ev
erything and a check is the proper way

ment. Your cancelled check is a posi
tive receipt. It protects you against
robbery. It isn’t safe to carry money
on your person or have it around the
home.

A QUICK MILLENIUM
I was in London I read an interesting, and rather pathetic,
article by the “baby member” of Parliament. His name
Owen.
Be recalled his maiden speech in which he proclaimed: “High
brought this Parliament into being. We will make it a Parlia-
t of high endeavor.”
t bad been full of fine plans in those days. For one thing, the
men were to have higher wages. “We got them another Is. 6d.
vaweek,” he says, “and then the State sacked some of them.
fM We looked forward to the debates on unemployment and agriculture
rand the mines,” he adds, “and spoke from the back benches when the
guns were at dinner.”
lie was twenty-three in those days. Now he is twenty-five, and
His hopes have faded.
Be thought he was going to play a large part in changing England
amd the Empire. Instead of this he is “spending his time answering
issued by organizations ordering us
4m) to vote for humane slaughter of beasts (b) to vote against it.
■4a) to open cienmas on Sunday (b) to close them.
4a» to prohibit sweepstakes (b) to extend them.”
Be has about reached the conclusion that all effort is futile,, and
UKt the world is on its way to perdition.
Bnme of us who are older can tell him from our own experience that
t Is now at the age of greatest discouragement. We, too, came into
Im foil of determination to set things right instanter. We were frank-
of the bungling of our predecessors. There should be no
mistakes and no delay!
In m couple'of years we. too, were in the depths of despair, deeper
than we have ever been in since.
Is not clear to any human mind just what is the whole purpose

POISON
in Your bowels!
Poisons absorbed into the system from
souring waste in the bowels, cause that
headachy, sluggish, bilious condition;
coat the tongue; foul the breath; sap
energy, strength and nerve-force. A little
of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will clear
up trouble like that, gently, harmlessly,
in a hurry. The difference it will make
in your fee!»ngs over night will prove
its merit to you.
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation for
forty-seven years. This long experience
enabled him to make his prescription
just what men, women, old people and
children need to make their bowels help
themselves. Its natural, mild, thorough
action ana its pleasant taste commend
it to people of all ages. That’s why
“Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,” as it is
called, is the most popular laxative
drugstores sell.

First, it does not seem to be any part of the program to have the a u t# -l

sweat and blood, and time.
Second, as we get older we see more clearly how destructive it would
be if all the good ideas of youth were allowed to become immediately
effective. The first two Great Reforms in whose service I myself la
bored were both successful. I think now that both were bad mis
takes.
So in our later years we give up the idea of a quick millenium.
Some of us ^0 it in deep discouragement. Others say: “I cannot lick
the world, but tljere is one part of it I can lick, namely, myself. I’ll
see what I can do with that.” .
It’s a good sporting proposition. And who knows? Maybe the
spread of that simple, idea is the real plan.
