probably Philemon had heard Paul’s mes sage when Paul was preaching there. Lesson Story: Many of Paul’s letters were written to the Christians in a certain city, but this was not a letter of help and encouragement of that kind. Paul wrote to ask Philemon to do something which would show his Christian love. Philemon had had a servant, a slave named Onesimus. For some reason Ones- imus had run away. The Bible shows he had gone as far as Rome and there he had met Paul and heard the gospeUstory. He listened and believed, and was sorry for the sin he had done. He wanted to go back to Philemon and ask his forgive ness. Paul helped him by writing this letter to his friend, asking him to forgive Onesimus and to take him back. Do you think Philemon forgave Onesimus when he came back with this letter? I am sure he did, for Jesus said that if your brother repents, is sorry, you should forgive him.

Objects: A small bag of cement, some sand on a saucer,1a glass of water, a small block o f cement, and a cardboard carton in which cottage cheese is sold. (Several hours before the lesson, mix some sand,? cement, and water, and pour into a carton. A similar empty carton taken to the class should have a red cross on one side.) Lesson: This cement, sand, and water are like people before they become Chris tians. Each one is very different, but they can be made into one solid piece of cement. A few hours ago I took some cement, sand, and water, and mixed them together in a cardboard carton such as this one. I let the mixture harden, and it made this solid block of cement. As I told you before, thes'e three are like unsaved people. They remind me of what Paul said in Galatians 3 :28: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” There is a red cross on this carton. It speaks of Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross for us. Paul said that in Christ we are all one. All nationalities be come one in Christ as they accept Him as Saviour, just as these three things— cement, sand, and waterSbecome one solid block when mixed together in the carton. God, Carpenter, and Man B y F red M eyer Believing firmly in the creation o f man and the universe as recorded in Genesis, the writer confirms his conviction by com paring the narrative account with natural and spiritual phenomena. His discussion includes such subjects as water, light, fruit, and animals, from which he draws inter esting analogies. The chapters of the book correspond to the days of creation; he presents Bible truth in a progressive man ner, stressing the preeminence o f Jesus Christ in creation and redemption. 86 pages. Wm. B.
