Christian Brotherhood, Philemon
4-2O, for Sunday, Nov. 20:
Philemon was a Well-tO-dO men,
ber of the church at Colosse; Ones
linus his slave, in some way wrong
ed his master and fed to Rome
where he was converted and be-
came a fast friend of Paul. Onesl-
mus is advised by Paul to return to
his master. This letter was given
him to present to him.
v. 4. "I thank my God, making
mention of thee always in prayers.
Paul was a man of prayer; he had
prayer list.
v. S. Hearing Of thy love and
faith, which thou hast toward the
Lord Jesus, and toward all saints"
One who loves Christ, naturally
loves Gods people.
v. 6. "That the communication OF
thy faith may become effectual by
the acknowledging of every good
thing which is in you in Christ Je-
sus.' Those who obey Christ will
lend the helping hand to others.
v. Z. "For we have great joy and
consolation in thy love, because the
hearts of the saints have been re-
freshed through thee, my brother"
The right sort of Christian activity
is refreshing and invigorating in
both it's spiritual and temporal con-
troll of others.
v. 8. "Wherefore, though might
be much bold in Christ to enjoin
thee that which is convenient"
Philemon, having been converted by
Paul, might have been made to feel
under obligation to him, but Paul
would not exercise any authority
Christian conduct must be volun-
tary.
". 9. "Yet for loves sake I
rather beseech thee, being such
one as Paul the aged, and now a
prisoner also Of Christ Jesus" Here
is a three-fold appeal; Pau's love
for Philemon; his physical feeble
ness; his helplessness as prisoner
in Rome for Christ's sake.

THE TRIUMPH OF LIFE

Life, with all of us, starts in a
very small way; first an obscure
| path which keeps widening as time
rolls along, until in mature years,
we find ourselves in broad avenue,
continually widening, with a multi
tude of people on either side of us,
myriads behind us, and throng of
pilgrims ahead of us, all with their
faces toward the setting of the sun.
Look in any direction we may, we
see our fellow beings falling by the
wayside, no longer able to bear
arms and march in the procession.
In this journey of life, from the
to be seen of beauty that belongs
to this world. The joyous laughter
of youth, words of life and beauty,
deeds of kindness, shouts of victory
ahead, all of which contribute to the
joy and gladness of the pilgrimage,
when our heartstrings are attuned
to the best of grace that lies in the
way for us. And while we are ere
joicing with those who rejoice"
then someone in the procession,
who is seeing what we see, hearing
what we hear, getting the best out
of life,-falls suddenly by the way
side. And then for a time our eyes
are blinded with tears, our hearts
burdened with sorrow, our friends
lead us until the mists clear away
and we are again able to discern
our bearings. That is what over
took us the other day when one who
was so active in all the community's
best interests,-the church, school.

more than three decades ago, spoke
the words which brought Stella Dye
into our family circle, was present
at the funeral and spoke comfort
ing spiritual words in such way
that you seldom hear from the lips

that his former slave may be accept

Generous Rains in Next

Fair Crops

ATLANTA, June 3. (UP).-
Household budgets are beginning
to feel the effects of the south's
two-months drouth, which prompt
ed many Dixie farmers to partici-
pate in the governments soil con-
serving program.
Generous rains within the next
form parched fields into fairly
week would still be able to trans
good crops in the drouth area in
the two Carolinas, Virginia, Geor-
gia and Tennessee, as well as In
sections of Alabama and Missis-
sippi.
Agricultural leaders, however,
said that there is little prospect
of immediate rains. With the
loss to farmers already counted
in "the millions, agricultural
leaders estimate that the damage
is mounting at the rate of $780,
600 daily.
Cotton futures today rose from
81 to $3.50 today on the strength
of the weather reports.
The Irish potato crop is DOOM

that these have become almost a
luxury.
Vegetable crops have suffered
with a resultant increase in price.
Milk prices in the Knoxville
area have been increased two
