LESSON FOR DECEMBER 16th Lesson Topic — Paul And His Friends. Lesson Passage—Philemon 8-21. Golden Text—Prov. 17:17. Dr. Alexander MacLaren hi The Expositor's Bible says of the Epistle to Philemon that it stands alone among Paul's letters in being addres- sed to a private Christian, and in toeing occupied with a small though eery singular private matter; its stir beerts Merely to bespeak a kindly Tireleatie for a runaway slave who beel been induced to perform the un- heard -of -act of voluntary returning to eier.Vitude.

"Paul a prisoner," surely that would go straight to Philemon's heart, and give all but irresistible frrce to the request which follows. Philemon was a person of some standing and wealth,—for he had a house large enough to admit of a "church" assembling in it. He had been one of Paul's converts, and owed his own self !to him (verse 19) and Paul 'readily sets forth his gladness at hearing of the good deeds that had been done by Phrikmon. He now approaches the main purpose of his letter. But even now he does not bluntly state it. He probably antici- pated that his friend was justly an - 07 with his runaway slave and so he uses tact to induce him to do what is a plain duty but an unwelcome one most probably. Paul's persons- ives to Philemo-n are echoes of Christ's persuasives to Paul. He had learned his method from his Master, and had himself experienced that gentle love was more than com- mandments. It is "for love's sake" —not merely his to Philemon, nor Philemon to him, but the bond whic'h -.2#1 'jar -9/4 Se,7f rti_, FURNACE WORK 41.:j OF I NVE NT 00N • FOR FRE E BOOKLET WROTE GL &GLEN' BLACKBURN BLDG. OTTAWA unites all Christian souls together, aria binds them all to Christ. The runaway slave was now a fellow - Christian and it was for such that 'Paul was pleading. To the, entrea- ties of love were added personal touches. The request of old age should have weight_ Then too he ad- ded another motive to his request being granted. It was made by one whc was "now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ." It is as though Paul said: "Philemon if you. hesitate to take Onesimus back because you ought, will you do it because I ask you? and, before you answer that question, will you remember my age, and what I am bearing for the Mas- ten ?", Paul proceeds to give Onesi- mus a certificate of character and pleads with Philemon to take back nis one-time worthless servant, and assures him that he will find him helpful now for Onesimus was now a piece of Paul's very heart•,the Un- profitable slave had wound himself round his affections, and became so deer that to part with him was like cutting hes heart out of his bosom. What a plea that would be with One who loved Pani as well es Philemon did! "tf thee eottrit me therefore a partner, reeeiee him as raysellf."

Then Philemon is exhorted to forgive the money wrong as well as the others which Onesimus had done him. In closing his appeal Paul virtually says "Do this because it pbeases me" (verse 20). "Even as Christ did for us with God the Father," says Luth- er, "thus also doth St. Paul for Ones i m us with Philemon." World Missions. We are tremendously happy to be here.

TELEVISION'S EFFECT ON OUR NEWSPAPERS Television is no doubt a wonderful invention but we doubt if it will ever produce the results foreseen in the imagination of the editor of "My Mag- azine." If a picture, can be sent over the wires so can the image of a print- ed page, he write's. No effort of the imagination is needed to see that a newspaper could prepare all its pages, advertisements, and everything in- cluded in one town in England and telegraph pietures of them in a fenv minutes after their eompletion to any other town. If that, helped by fur- ther developments of photographic ptinting, proved a profitalble or econ- omical and speedy way of distribut- ing a newspaper, it would and 'ea.- tainly will be adopted in the future. We shall have our own 'newspapers printed in our own homes. We shall peebahle buy a screen Irons. the TiMes, and. de, it every day the Times will print the news for us.

The reason why it cannot be dote is that nobody can afford to do it. 'Twenty years it rwill be cheap. to d. it, and the newspaper revolution will have Caine. It is well worth while thinking abut. The newspapers have seen in the broadcasting of a seleCtion of the day's news an invasion of their pruvince. They have survived it be- cause the public wants something niore than the mere statement of fragments of news. It 'wants the news set out, eeplained, enlarged, il- lustrated. It does not want bread alone. Like the king in Mr. Milne's rhyme, it does like a pat of buttes on its bread., 'On the whole the broad- casting or news has been an adver- tisement of the newspaper's superior powers, in much the same Way that the broadcasting •of music has sent Teeple to the gramophones and their superior records of the beet music. At first the broadcasting stations may themselves become newspapers, though it wifl be a sphere they will occupy with difficulty and not with- out opposition. On the lighted screen they may flesh a page of an official newspaper. It would contain all the guaranteed news of the day, every.,, r• thing that could bear the authentic stampeof Official. The broadcasting stations hare lately been permitted to circulate a certain amount of con- troversial utterance about polities or public questions. On the official pag- es of the first screen newspapers these would make a guarded appear- ance. As the 'screen need not limit itself to one page or two a number of newspaper pages might appear on it at regularly announced intervals. If perfection could be reached in an imperfect world we might look forward hopefully to finding on the screen the newspaper that we all have hoped for but only esopected to see in our dreams ---(a journal always cor- rect in its facts, sound in its opin- ions, reasonable in its views, written with taste and discretion and imag- ination, telling ut all we wanted to know in the way we should like it told, setting out nothing at all that we would have it emit. Such a newspaper, unhappily, is not for /us. In the words of the old ,Romans—So many men, so many minds. The news- paper which would fit them all would never exist. The newspapers which teed would perish. There is an old fable of a Bagdad farmer, who was given leave to choose the days on which it should rain, the days on wlich the sun should shine to bring up his crops—but at harvest time his crops were poorer than those of his neighbors, who had taken what Prorvi- dence had seen fit to send them. The harvest of a newspaper which tried to give everything that everybody wanted would be a failure. Another plan will have to be adopt Oyy, " at!, 10.. : VAerer teasaa, .142t t4 wen 1rst 14 • ed.
