IM « Is a private letter. -I'Mienum was a member of the church at Colog- ae, Onesjmus, h(a slave, wronged him, perhaps stole from him, and te d to Some. There he came under Paul's Influence and was converted. Paul sent Onesimua back to Philemon with this letter. This Is one p f'th e most tender and beautiful letters ever writ­ ten, and the first antl-elavery petition ever penned. I. The Salutation (vv. 1-3). His aim was to touch Philemon’s heart, so refers to himself ;t« 1 >■ oner, and liuks Phileim-.; as a-.fellow-laborer In tlu- truth. He makes mention <>j’ A h > Philemon's Wife, and Archippus. tu son, who had already enlisted as a fe'i low-soldier. II. Phllemon'a Reputation (vv. 4-7), Paul paid a fine tribute to Phile­ mon, reminding him' that be never prayed without bearing him up before God. This Is a fine example of tact on the part o f the minister. 1. His faith and love toward the Lord and all saints (v, 5), It was. Ms hope and desire that this faith might bear fruit in Christ Jesus. 2. His ministry to the saints (v. 7 ), Philemon was generous In bis help to the poor saints. III. ' Paul's Request (w . 8-16). .He requested Philemon to receive, back Oneslmus, the runaway slave, as a brother’ In Christ. 1, He*, beseeches Instead of com­ mands <w. 8-10), Though conscious of Ms right to enjoin, he pleads as the prisoner o f Jesus Christ for love's sake. 2. He makes bfs plea on the grounds o f grace (vv. 11-14). He admitted that Oneslmus had been un­ profitable—had forfeited all claim upon Philemon, and.that on grounds o f justice his plea might well be re­ jected, and yet Oneslmus was begot­ ten In his bonds (v. 10)—was In a real sense a part of bis own suffering na­ ture (v, 12)-—he ventured to suggest that he should be accepted. Though Oneslmus hitherto bad been unproill able to bis master, now was profitable to both Paul and Philemon, Paul' would gladly have retained him as a personal attendant, but sought first hl$ friend’s permission. 8, Paul desired that Oneslmus he received back not as a slave, but as A brother In Christ (w . 15,10). Here is the real fugitive slave law.: Paul never attacked slavery, though It was contrary to Christianity, and therefore hateful to him, but emphasized prin­ ciples which destroyed It. The estab­ lishment o f Christianity changes the whole face o f human society. The -wise thing to do Is to get men and women regenerated and thus' trans­ form Society Instead o f seeking change by revolution. In Paul’s request you can hear the pleadings of Christ for us sinners. AH men have broken loose—gone astray— and have become unprofitable. We are reconciled to God through the In­ terceding of ChrlBt. He has made us profitable. We have been begotten In His bonds—through His passion, ag­ ony o f heart, we shall be changed. - III. The Baals Upon Whloh Onoslm- IM Is to Bo Received (vv. 17-21). The debt o f guilty Oneidmus la to he put to the account o f Paul, and the merit o f Paul Is to he put to the ac* , count of 'Oneslmus. This la a fine Il­ lustration.of the atonement o f Christ, Whatever wrongs we have committed —debt Incurred—all 5ur shortcomings are debited to Him. Jesus Christ, on behalf o f the whole universe, has said to God: "Put that to my account; 1 have written with my pierced hand; 1 will repay." Oneslmus was taken back, not as a runaway slave, but a beloved brother in Ohrist. IV, Paul Requests Lodging (w . 22- 25). He expected a .speedy release from Imprisonment, and purposed to sojourn with Philemon. Ih all probability (his was realized. What a welcome be must have received! Jesus Christ Is saying to every one of His redeemed ones, "Prepare me a lodging,” The Lord Changed Not And I will come near to you to judgment; I wilt be a swift witness against falsa swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling In his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord o f hosts, For I am the Lord, 1 change not.—Malachl 8 : 5, 6, Prophecy as i t Backslider. Now the spirit apeaketh expressly that In the latter times some shall de­ part from the faith.—I Timothy, 4:1.

Sealed bids will be received at the office of tho Clerk of the Village of Cedarvilie, Ohio, until 1* o'clock noon on Tuesday the 27th day of Occam* her, m t, for tho purchase of a bond of the Village of Csdarvilte, Ohio, in the sum of Thirteen Hundred and- Fifty Dollars g(i^O^O), hearing interest at six per cent,, payable semi annually, due three <i) yasra M B How and Why The Brunswick is Different and Better Only Brunswick,Has the Ultona Another phonograph may play a certain, type, o f record correctly. But only The Brunswick plays all the three distinct types o f records exactly as they should be played . Having all the three types o f needles—steel, sap­ phire ball and diamond point— on one reproducer does not insure correct reproduction for all records. You need more than that. S o The Brunswick, by means o f the Ultona, pro­ vides for each type o f record the precise angle, the correct weighty the proper diaphragm and needle. A turn o f the hand is all that is necessaty to change from one type o f record to another. The Ultona is also accurately counter-balanced to do away with old-time scratching noises. 1 Another Exclusive Improvement The human voice, which is the bads o f all musical sounds, is modified by the mouth. The opening o f the Brunswick Oval Tone Amplifier is shaped like the mouth. It allows tones to amplify properly. Built o f light, specially treated wood, like a violin. No metal used. The harsh, thin, metallic sounds ' noticeable in old-style; methods o f reproduction are banished. ’ : e Even the fine secondary tones o r over-tones are .re­ produced by The Brunswick with astonishing fidelity. Always Fine Cabinet Work I t is only to be expected that every Brunswick is an exquisite example o f woodworking. F or its makers were famous for woodworking long before phono­ graphs were invented. - Use Your Own Ears—Your Own Judgment . Come in and hear The Brunswick before you decide on your phonograph. Examine these features and understand just what this exclusive method o f repro­ duction means to you as a phonograph owner. Have you heard the latest Brunswick Records? They can be played on any instrument using steel (o* ‘ fibre) needles. BROW ER 'S . .
