He also took part in religious teaching, and•was an evan- gelist as well. ,Paul referred to him as his fellow -workman," v. 15• The Christians evidently gathered in his house for their regular worship, and we read in v. 1, of his wife, Apphia • and' of Archippus, whowas possibly his song This man es called a "fellow - soldier" of Paul, and may have had to pass through danger on behalf of Christ. See the reference to him in Colossians 4;17, From this it is clear that Philemon was a man of bigh standing, a man of means, a leader in the church, and a great personal ' friend of the apostle. 2. Onesimus was one of Philemon's slaves, and probably of a low and mean type. "A Phrygian slave was one of the lowest type to be found in the Roman world." The slave had stolen some money from his master (v. 18), and had escaped to the city of Rome, which was the refuge of criminals. In the narrow streets and dark cellars of that great capital it was not difficult for one of this class to escape detection. However, the eyes of God were upon him, and by some unknown means this poor man wee beought into contact with Paul, where he learned to love Christ. The miracle rt conversion was again en- acted, This weak, despised Oriental was brought. to a new life, and his devotion to tris man who had been the means of his salvation knew no hounds. He 'became very useful to Paul, who would have liked to keep him with him. But evidently con- science had been at work in this run- away slave, and after doubtless many conversations, they both decided that some attempt at reparation, or resti- tution, must be trade. 3. Paul—The letter throws much light upon the love, justice and tact of Paul. He wished to retain the services of Onesimus, for it was very convenient for him to have one who would willingly run his errands, and do his bidding. But Paul's sense of justice urges him to acknowledge the claim of ownership and, accordingly, the decision has been. reached to re- turn this man to Colossae. However, Paul writes a letter to go with One- simus in order that the return may be epele as early as possible. First of all, Paul reminds his friend that a total change has taken place in the character of this former culprit, and be playfully refers to the name which the slave Tarries. Onesimus meant "profitable." Once this poor slave was far from profitable, but now that Christ has entered his heart, the worthless has been made worthy. He is indeed profitable, v. 11. Paul thus passes to the actual loss of money, and generously offers to make up this amount out of his own pocket. He will nay over all that Onesimus stole, v. 18. But most of all is it Paul's desire to remind his correspondent Mat there has come in a total revolu- tion in the relation between masters and slaves. This man, it is true, is a slave, but he is also a Christian and, therefore, a brother, and he must be taken back into the household, not on the old footing only, but also as a brother for whom Christ died. This union in Christ is to change all other relationships, v. 16. To crown the appeal, Paul reminds Philemon that his own Christian faith is the direct result 08 Paul's effort on his behalf, v. 19. In the closing sentonees, the apostle speaks of his entire confidence in the generosity. of Philemon, and he requires him to get ready some place where he may stay, as the trial is likely to end in his release.

This dis- ease is very common in practically every country where cattle are. raised. For many years efforts have been made in Canada to control the disease with the ultimateobjective in mind of complete eradication. The Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa has made wonderful progress in this work in recent years. Two main policies are in operation.: the Accredited Herd Plan, which deals only with pslre.bred herds, and the Restricted Area Plan, which undertakes to clean up and maintain in a clean condition whole districts rather than individual herds, In the report of the Veterinary Direc- tor General for the past fiscal year, available at the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, it is shown that there are now approxi- mately 85,500 fully accredited pure• bred cattle contained. in 2;850 'herds. 'Under the Restricted. Area Plan there aro six districts in Canada that are now free from tuberculosis. The total area covers approximately 11,909` square miles, containing about 320,000 cattle. The line of procedure in this work is for officers of the department to apply the tuberculin test to all cattle, to slaughter and pay compen- sation for the disegyed animals and to disinfect elle premises. At intervals r;.erea!ter the herds are again tested until reactors are no longer found.
