Of persons with God. My son,

turn"
What! Leave you! Leave my

spirit, and return TO slavery2 And
what about the gold?"
1T is hard for me also, for as you
know, 1 have learned to love You as
my own child; and. too. I need your
help. But your duty is clear; you
must return to your master and serve
him till the Lord gives you honorable
permission to have your liberty"
AS for the gold, 1 will assume
that debt myself. Just at this time
am engaged in writing a letter to
the church at Colossae which Tychi-
Gus is to bear to them. You shall go
with him, and by you I will send a
special letter to my old friend, your
master, and I am we'll assured he
will gladly receive you in my stead
and do for you more than I shall
ask of him. Yes, my dear son, I
grieve to part with you, but 1t must
be done"
And so it came to pass that not
many days thereafter the messen gers
received the precious letters, said a
touching farewell to the revered
teacher with whom another meeting
in the flesh was most doubtful. and
set their faces to the rising sun. OF
their reception by the church at Co
lossae and Of the subsequent treat
ment which Onesimus received at the
hands of his former master, the re-
cord does not speak; but we may
imagine with almost a certainty what
did happen. The kindly Philemon
gave the youth a cordial welcome, for
his own sake. for from the begin
ming he had planned generous things
for the poor captive. But when he
heard his story and read the letter
sent by his hand from the great
teacher who had led him to Jesus.
all hesitation vanished; his plans
ripened at once and on the spot he
told Onesimus he was free.
Not only was he free, hut taking
him by the hand and leading him to
an inner apartment, he called a
young girl and presented her to One
sinus. With astonishment the two
gazed a moment at each other, and
then with joy-unutterable they sprang
to embrace; for the girl was the sis
