The Christian communities were as yet small and had no buildings of their own, Some wealthier member house for their gatherings. Philemon was greatly loved for his work among the poor. It is evident from w 7 that the whole church at Colossee had bene- fited by some particularly needed and welcomed gift. Paul rejoices, not because Philemon "is well, and prospering in business, but because he is a true Christian and is devoting himself to a life of prac- tical helpfulness. How this warm- hearted brother who evidently pre- ferred to remain in the backzround (Col. 4: 17) must have been gladden- ed and encouraged at having his labors thus recognized and appreciat- ed by the great apostle! i. II. BOSS OR BROTHER? 8-16. Paul writes to intercede for a run- away s ave, Onesimus. He had been a worthless fellow and had finally run away, after roobing his master, as Paul hints, of a considerable sum of money. Hé made his way to Rome, as fugitive slaves usually did. Eventu- ally, destitute and lunesorme; he met the only man in that great city wham he could trust to befriend him, Through Paul hs was 'onverted and attucheC himself to his benefactor as "a most devoted and valuable personal attendant, v. 13. When an ovportnn- ity came. Pavl sent him back to his owner. The letter 'is an appeal for forgiveness, 'and also to hava One- simus received, rot nerely 25 a slave, but as «. brother in the Lord. Paul's letter sueeests the Christian wav of dealing with vur fellows. He could have commanded Philemon. Philemon owed Pail a great deal, in- cluding his spiritual life. Paul, as an apostle also, had greut powers. But Ye preferred to use suasion, and rely on the affection of his friends and sniritual children, He would win by Jove rather than by law. The "I com- mand you" method may win mechan- jeal obedience; it cannot create a help- ful and happy relationship. Paul, refore, did not make his 'demand from the position of a master. He appealec on the level of ordinary hn- man brotherhood. He is just an "old man," old before his time, it is irue. He is in jail. He :s Philemon's fellow- worker. A response to that kind of 'an appeal will mean blessing for all three. Paul's letter also suggests the Christian relationship in business and industry. Onesimus had been a worth- Jess slave. Now he is coming back of his own free will. Only one thing could make that possible,--love. Love will make of Onesimus a better slave chan he has ever been, On the other hand, jt will make of Philemon a new Xxind of master. Once, probably, he looked upon Onesimus as an instrumeat of profit. Now he will see in him a bro- ther. 2 § When Paul asserted the principle of brotherhood (v. 16) he struck a blow at the system of slavery.

J. Kelso. FF, ONE DAY JEFF, oN get x BORROW JO PAY. A generation ago Sir William Crookes startled the world by predict. : famine because of lack of nitrogen | tary authorities~of the United States ('were gravely concerned about possible shortage of nitrogen for ex; és, as well as for the increased food produc. Even five years ago the production of fertilizer nitrogen in the United States was Jess than half of the country's consumption, hindering more. efficient farming through shortage of domestic supplies and by the high price of im- ported products. Within these five years the situation has been reversed. The use of fertl- lizer nitrogén has increased about 50 per cent, while production has in- creased 100 per cent. With production of synthetic nitrogen from the air in- creased 1000 per cent., a reduction of about 50 per cent in prices, and fur- ther large increases in sight, it is cer- tain that the United States will soon produce much more nitrogen than it consumes. Either she must become a nitrogen- exporting nation, the industry must find new uses for its products, or she must persuade the American farmer of what seems an unquestionable fact, that he can use much more nitrogen on his fields to make much more money. From the prospect of a world- famine in nitrogen to a surplus in less than forty years is perhaps the most rapid revolution of a major industry ever worked in scientific history. Since no living plant or animal can use air nitrogen directly, essential as it is for the growth of living protop- lasm, before the days of man or of synthetic chemistry, life on earth had to depend for its nitrogen on lightning and on germs. Every lighning flash shatters a tiny percentage of the oxy- gen and nitrogen atoms in its path. Compounds like nitric acid are formed and brought down by the rain. They are then in a form that plants can utilize them freely. Bacteria, too, es- pecially those that live on the roots of clover and alfalfa and related plants, have imposed upon tiem the duty of replenishing the nitrogen of the soll, and furnish the reason why the wise farmer includes these plants in his crop rotation. Sir William Crookes' prediction of world-disaster went wrong for two rea- sons. In the first place two sources of combined nitrogen had already been discovered. One of them was coal, from which by heating we now make coke or gas and in so doing liberate the nitrogén which lightning and germs combined in the Coal Age. The other is the natural nitrate of Chile, where millions of tons of combined nitrogen, probably formed by light- ning on the stormy crest of the An- deg, have accumulated in a rainless desert whence none of the precious material has washed away. Sir Wil liam underestimated both these sources. New methods, such as the Guggenheim process, have been de- vised, to work the Chilean deposits more efficiently, thus saving thousands of tons of nitrogen that formerly went to waste. The second' reason his prediction failed was because of the marvellous advance in synthetic chemistry. This enables us now to imitate lightning-- that is, to accomplish the artificial fixation of the inexhaustible but use- less nitrogen of the air. At first, powerful electric arcs played in air-to force some of the atoms to combine. This has been almost discarded. An- other early process, still in use, is to heat the calcium carbide otherwise used to make acetylene, in nitrogen, to yield a chemical compound called cyna! id, used directly as a fertilizer or convertible to other compounds.' But the most efficient method of pro- ducing this nitrogen in usable form is the diréct synthesis of ammonia gas {from its two chemical elements, nitro- gen and hydrogen. During the war, Germany's desperate need of nitrogen for explosives--the Chilean supply be- ing cut off by the blockade--stimu- lated the practical development of the first steps in this direction taken by the distinguished German chemist, Professor Fritz Haber. British, fertilizers. During the war mili-| tion to supply the demands of war.| L one of the eleven women winning parliamentary séats in recent British general elections. French and American chemists each contributed ideas and experiments, un- til last year this method presented the world with about as much fertilizer as the entire production of Chile, and about a 'quarter of all the nitrogen con- sumed on farms and in the factories of the world. % We might call the process atomic torture. A nitrogen atom has a cen- tral nucleus composed of fourteen par- ticles of positive electricity and seven of negative electricity tightly clumped together, with seven more negative particles revolving loosely about this cefitral point like planets about a sun. The hydrogen atoms consist of a cen- tral nucleus of only one positive elec- tric particle, with a single negative one revolving about it. To produce ammonia the chemist must make each nitrogen atom accept union with three hydrogen ones. This is done by com- pressing nitrogen gas from the air and hydrogen gas from natural gas or from water by thousands of pounds to the square inch, and passing it over a fine dust of iron, nickel, or some other catalyst. It Is believed that the out- side particles of nitrogen are distort- ed so that they lose their hold on the nucleus and combine with the hydro- gen. Phosphorus and potash have become important fertilizers as a result of chemical re-earch. "The Stout One--"They say that music inspires men to heroic deeds."

So weary are many of these boys of being without a job that they are demanding work of any kind without pay. Some six miles out of the busy town of Bautzen in Saxony flows. a rivulet known as Albrechts Brook which, picturesque though it is, does great damage to the surrounding country every spring by the overflow- ing of its banks For the last twelve years it has been intended to regulate the undisciplined stream and drain the land, but the necessary funds were lacking. The first experiment is now being made with 120 volunteers, who go singing to their work every morn- ing, glad to be about and doing again, They are provided with food and lodg- ing, simple, but ad uate, also with workman's clothing to save their own, and--though this is not considered payment--with 50 pfennigs (about 13 cents) daily as pocket money. -------- Bicycle Comes Back The bicycle is returning to favor in England. Cycle manufacturers are finding the demand for bicycles higher than it has been for the last seven or eight years. Although the bicycle has not been seen so much in the larger cities dur- ing the last few years, there are cer- tain places which have always been known as Bicycle Towns. Bedford is the most famous "bicycle town" in England, and has the highest proportion of bicycles to its popula- tion. This is probably due to the flat- ness of the surrounding country. In Bedford the preponderance of bicycles is so great that shopkeepers make spe- cial arrangements for parking them, ¢ On the continent the bicycle is very , popular. Copenhagen, for instance, moves almost entirely on the bicycle, so does the Hague. In Berlin the streets are crowded with bicycles at the hours when people are going or coming from work. Factories on the outskirts of the city have accommoda- tion for thousands of bicycles, as most cf the workers find this the cheapest ng easiest way of travelling. i --ty Tomato Popular in Germany Berlin.--Perhaps no vegetable has become so popular in Germany as the tomato, and yet some thirty years ago it was hardly known.
