for our care we raise our grateful hearts lu praise for parents friends the homes we share writing letters 1 2 paul wrote eager spontaneous let ters hot from the heart quite uncon sclous that he was writing books for the bible the phrase new testa ment did no mean a book in his thinking it was because paul put himself into his letters that they have lived his soul was afire for christ and his letters pulsate with spiritual purpose and power many people regard letterwriting as a bore or a burden and not as a privilege and re sponsibluty one aged minister who in recent years had realized the mini stry of correspondence writes to people all over the world his written words have been in some ways more effective than his spoken words a letter may be a substitute for a visit it may accomplish quite as much as a visit and it kept it endures in per manent iorm we can imagine the gladness of paul writing to timothy and the joy of timothy when he re celved a letter from paul we with hold great pleasure from our friends when we leave their letters unanswer ed challenge 3 6 paul took his letter writing quite seriously he knew that timothy was young and weak and he deliberately tried to give him strength he re called the boyhood home of timothy the faith of his mother and grand mother he told timothy of the con stant prayers made for him after establishing this bond of sentiment he challenged timothy to stir up the gift of god that was in him and to be a missionary worthy of his ordination we like to rectlve gossipy letters full of family or community news but in addition to being chatty a letter can present a high challenge many stu dents at college are steadied by letters from their parents student mission aries are safeguarded by letters from their superintendents the post-of- flce is in reality much more than a mechanical orgnjiatlan through let ters it may be a defender of the faith a reformer of public morals a cham plon of social justice how we should like to know the moral power and spiritual efficiency of the cargo of correspondence carried by the post men on any one day versatility 1 3 paul could write a theological trea use and he could also write a personal letter with the lightest touch we get to know great political leaders ilkesir john a macdonald and sir wilfred laurier through heir letters better than through their political peeches the letters of bobby bums are rewarding reading second only to his poems biographies are frequently entitled life and letters but in public interest the letters often hae priority over the life pa il was one of the thinkers of the past yet he could remember names or a family in a distant cit and visualize the little group of people meeting in the house i it is a christian grace to be able to carrj on serious conversation and also on occasion have small talk we should cultivate the ar of writing purposeful letters but not to the ex elusion of felicitous friendliness writing religion 4 7 no one could receive a letter from paul without hearing about jesus christ however persona and play ful hi might be he always gave wit ness to his lord and master the readers of pauls letters to philemon had a higher standard for their own conduct after hearing his ord pic ture of them letter writing by them who have consecrated pens can be a powerful cnvangelistlc force this does not mean writing piously or sen timentally it should rather be the occasion of superior thinking it is i discourtesy to our friends to fill let ters with inferior thinking negative criticism and selfoentredness when friend writes to friend about the lead ing of the living god a le ter may be more potent than a sermon because of the informality and personal interest of the writer some christians al ways close a letter with a christian salutation paul frequently opened and closed his letters with a benedic tion emotional trivialities 2122 a university professor speaking to the graduating class of a college said that many adults waste their energies on emotional trivialities admittedly there is much emotion expended upon things of little permanent value our thoughts and emotions should centre upon groat productive and construe tive purposes yet there are trivial ities which need attention paul need ed lodging when he went to visit philemon and he asked for quarters to be pre arranged there was not the slightest letdown in this as compared with trie- sentences about love and faith pauls deepest emotion was dls played in his religious convictions but he could refer to small things in a big way we need to learn the art of do ing routine things in such a spirit thav we shall not be trivial even when car lng for trivial things there can be the same utter sincerity in arranging the details of life as in religious wor ship or evangelistic effort the chris tlan quality of life can pervade every area of life qaestlons for discosatai i have i any unanswered letters 2f in letter writing do i think before
