Bible School Lasson Study! Sunday, November 29th By L. Neitzel, Muxdock, Neb. "Christian Brotherhood" Philemon 4:20. This lesson opens np a great ques tion, namely: "Is the human race a brotherhood?" Not many are agreed to that. Large numbers in America do not regard the Negro as equal of the white man; the caste system in India is moved by the same motive. We have, therefore, race prejudices and hatred. Slavery regards their subjects as chattels to be bought and sold, like animals. Only Christianity recognized the fact that all men be long to one brotherhood; originating from "one blood all nations of men." (Acts 17:26; Gen. 3:20; 9:10; Mai. 2:10). This is reflected in John's vision (Rev. 7:9) as the redeemed come to the celestial city. Peter gave voice to this great truth in Cornelius' house, when he opened the Kingdom to the Gentiles: "Of a truth, I per ceive that God is no respector of persons;" before him all are alike. Paul is teaching in this lesson the real brotherhood which is in Jesus Christ, being baptized with the same spirit, "there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bound nor free, there is neither male nor fe male, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 2:2S). This question be ing settled, we can now proceed with our lesson. This short letter of 25 verses shows us the writer in a new role, full of pathos; a different mentality than when he wrote to the Corinthians (4:1S-21). A number of emotions are recorded in the first seven verses. Paul is in Rome, a prisoner, receiv ing reports from different churches, and writing Epistles to them accord ing to the conditions prevailing. Ephesian, Colossian, Philippian and Philemon are the product of this period. At Colossae is a family, well-to-do, for they could afford slaves; Philemon Apphia, his wife and Ar chippus, the son. Converted by Taul, when in Ephesus, they had gone to Colossae. Their home was a meeting place for what Christians there were at that place. Something happened In that home: Cne day Onesiraus, a slave, Is missing, and with him some valuables from the house. A search did not bring him back; but he went a long way to hide, many miles lay between him and Philemon's home. ITe turns up in Rome, and God leads this runaway slave to where he hears Paul preach. Having heard, in the church iu Philemon's house about Jesus, he again hears the same Gos pel. Had his heart been stirred at home, it is in a tumult now but &oou the tumult is stilled, and the "sweet peace" of God's love fills his soul. Now he confesses his wrong doing, and is urged by Taul to re turn and make restitution; but hav ing spent the stolen goods, like the prodigal, he has nothing to restore the loss. Here comes Paul to the rescue. Onesimus must go back to his master. Paul writes a letter to Philemon and Ouesims must carry it to him, and take whatever punish ment shall be meeted out to him. But look at the letter: Onesimus is a changed man. Philemon, I like to keep this man, he i3 a good servant, nay a brother beloveth, very profit able receive him as such he won't steal again you can trust a Chris tian if you won't balance out his account, charge it to me I'll pay you when I get out of here (?) for then I can work and earn but don't forget, I brought you to Christ, you owe me something couldn't you off set that against the account of One simus? O, I do not want to coerce you, it must be on your part a free and glad act in that way we show real brotherhood as you and I and One simus have found joy and peace and pardon in Christ. So let us recog nize each other as brothers in Christ Jesus. What effect did that letter have on Philemon? Who knows? fpphia undoubtedly was greatly moved, and Archippus interposed: "Dad," it wasn't worth a great deal what Onesimus took any way; let's take him back ar.d put him on his honor." Could Philemon withstand such pleadings? Paul, Apphia, Archippus, his own heart must have been "strangely warmed." Philemon, have a place ready in your house for me, for I am coming, if your prayers avail with God. Dr. Cambell Morgan has very bril liantly suggested that under the portraits of Padl and Philemon, as drawn in the letter, s'nould be writ ten the words: "Love seeketh not her own." And under the portraits of Paul and Ouesims should be written I the legend, "Love beareth all things" and under the portraits of Onesimus and Philemon the legend should read, "Love suffereth all things and i3 kind." Paul reveals in this let ter how, by taking pains with the smallest details of life and by never failing to show love to those who are unfortunate, or who have sinned, a great river of blessing may spring forth to refresh the hearts of multi tudes who otherwise might never be influenced by 113.
