FR ATERN ALISM
B. W. MERCIER
There is a little book in the Bible
bound on the west by the book of
' Hebrews,, and on the east by the
chapter and wrten by S. Paul, who
book of Titus, consisting of one
at that time was in the City of
Rome in an effort to get a hearing
before the Supreme Court, or Cae
sars Court. Paul was under heavy
bond, and in chains, while he yet
continued to preach the Gospel. Tliis
little book entitled Philemon is a
simple letter written by Paul in re
gard to a servant of Phlemon's house
hold in which there seems to have
been an organized church. This ser
vant of must have been
wicked and bull-headed, for we
find that he ran away from his mas
ter's house and rambled as a hob(
until he came to the City of Rome
where he found Paul in chains, and,
through mere curiousity, stopped
to see the man bound in chains, and,
after hearing him preach he was con
verted. No doubt the conversion of
this seemingly tramp was genuine
for we find in Pauls letter to Phile
mon that he was loath to give him
up, and that Paul had implicit confi
dence in Oneisimus, so much that
he was willing to become responsile
Jpr all of his debts and faults, and
to’vouch for him in all things.
Now as w r e read this letter, we
must reach two conclusions; First,
that it is one thing to preach the
Gospel to every creature, and. Sec
ond, that it is another thing to teach
that same creature to observe all
things whatsoever he hath command
ed us. Why was Paul so willing tc
trust Oneisimus. Paul must have
measured the corn belonging to Onei
sinius by his own half-bushel, so,
after all, Paul and Oneisimus were
just men and men only. One day
Paul went down to Damascus, and
one day Oneisimus went up to Rome
Paul was a persecutor while Onei
simus was a runaway servant. Paul
saw a refulgent light and heard e
mysterious voice. He was never able
to *'orget that vision. So, winding
his way around from place to ,plac'
thinking of his tragedies, rushing
•-from tribunal to tribunal, we find
him over at Rome telling Oneisimus
about the heavenly vision, and Paul
finding that Oniesimus saw and
heard the same vision no doubt ex
claimed like Peter did at Jopa who
can forbid that this hobo should be
baptized who has received, the gift of
the Holy Ghost as well as me; the
exercise of the one (faith), the
trust in the same (Lord), the baptism
of the same (Spirit), was what en
abled Paul to write the following let
ter; “I beseech Thee for my son
Oneisimus. Whom I have begotten

'Thedford’s Black-Draught

Steelman, of Pattonville,Texas.

in my bonds, which in the time
past was to the unprofitable, but
now profitable to thee and to me.
Whom I have sent again. Thou
therefore, receive him, that is of
mine own bowels, whom I have re
tained with me that in thy stead he
might have ministered unto me in
the bonds of the Gospel. But with
out thy mind would do nothing, that
thy benefit should not be as it were
of necessity, but willingly, for per
haps he, therefore, not now as ser
vant, a brother beloved, especially to
me, but how much more unto thee,
both in flesh and in the Lord if thou
count mi therefore a partner, receive
him as myself. If he hath wronged
thee, or oweth thee ought, put it to
mine account. I, Paul have written
it with ’mine own hand, I w r ill repay
it, albeit I do not say to thee
thou owest me even thine * own self
besides. What a tremendous field
seems here to open up as we study
this letter to Philemon by Paul in
regard to this hitherto unprofitable
runaway (fugitive). When Paul saw
the light of Gods love turn in upon
the heart and life of Oneisimus, all
of his faults and short comings were
lost in the darkness so far as Paul
knewwas concerned, for Paul knew
that the saving Grace.of.Jesus Christ
not only qualified Oneisimus to be
restored back in into the househoh
of Philemon as a servant, but, also,
as a Christian Gentleman, so Paul
requested Philemon to receive him
with as much courtesy, respect and
confidence as he would Paul, the
writer of this letter, and, in order
to remove all suspicion from the
mind of Philemon that Oneisimus
might h.ave forged the letter himself;.
Paul plainly states that he.had writ
ten the letter himself, with his own
hand, aul no doubt was a great stu
dent of human nature and knew that
Philemon had little or.no.confidence
in Oneisimus, and would be slow to
believe in him. Now, do we believe
the man who sits beside us in
the phew is a saved man. Now do
we btlieve the woman who sings in
the choir is a saved woman. Do we
'believe that God called the men we
have ordained from our church to
go out and preach the Gospel. If
so, then why not say so in words
and by letters at all times. Will we
vouch fer t em, def.nd them, pro
tect their characters from slnader
while men gnash upon them with
thehr teeth. Remember that David
planned the death of Uriah. That
was not all he did. Peters state
ment that he knew not Christ was sc
grossly wrong that it caused the
chickens to crow, and the same Paul
held the garments of the Roman sol
diers while they, with rougli stones,
killed that pure hearted deacon of
what we call one of the first Bap
tist Churches. We must magnify
the faults of these three great men
and magnify the virtues of these
great men or they will not be great
men or they will not be great at
all. Will a lamb suck the blood of a
kid. Will a dove rend the breast of
a robin. Will a Christian gnash with
his teeth upon another Christian. If
you think so, read what Paul had to
say to Philemon regarding Oniesimus
until you learn better. If today we
should find a man who has been con
verted, shall we not be ready and
willing to vcucli for him. But it re
quiz’es two persons having the Christ
ian experience to make the vouchers
as good as the stamp of our Govern
ments stamp on the paper money we
handle here in the business world.
So when a real Christian writes you
a letter and closes it thus: “I am
yours, Fraternally, Christ is direct
ing the pen and the ink is colored
with his ownblood. We know we
have passed from deathinto life be
cause we love the Brethren.

RHEUMATISM AFTER
v HIS m OUTING
Hunting Trip On a Wet Day
Brings Painful Results.
Once upon a time Charles Mullen, of
Philadelphia, went gunning. It was a
dismal rainy day, and long exposure to
cold and wet brought on a severe
attack of rheumatism, lie was con
iined to his home.
A friend recommended Sloan’s Lini
ment, citing his own case as evidence
of its effectiveness. Mullen bought a
bottle and applied it to his aching
limbs. Boon improvement was noticed
and he was able to return to business.
Mr. Mullen writes: “Since that ex
perience I have never been without
Sloan’s Liniment in the medicine
chest.” You will find it soothes bruises,
sprains, toothache and relieves lame
back, neuralgia, in fact all external
pains. At all druggists, 25c., 50c.
and SI.OO a bottle.
