This lesson should settle t matter for any open-minded of Word. The Apostle P combined | all these things. He was the one human being in history osen by God to receive the full revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Chriet; to him were given many of the inspired New Testament books; beyond any other man before or since ue bo a times.— 2 o saints” (Jude.and his Epistles to the Corinthians and the Galatians show his white-hot intolerance of a false teaching, yet no men ever lived who was a more tender, loving, de- voted and unselfish friend than this game Paul. When thoge among whom he had worked in Ephesus realized that he was leaving them for the last time on earth, “they all wept sore and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, sor- rowing most of all for the words which he spake, that orig sees eee his face no more. And t anied him unto the ship.” farewell time that must have been, as Paul's ship sailed away. It shows us how deeply they loved Paul be- cause of the way In which he had shown his unselfish love for them. The late Br. R. A. Torrey was in- tensely zealous for sound doctrine, and unsparing his condemna- tion of false teaching. In his public evangelistic work, known as he was around the world, he seemed to be rather cold and auaetere. But since his recent death his friends have testified to the tender, loving, humble side of Dr. Torrey. Robert. Harkness, who travelled with him in his world evangelistic tours, writes: “As a friend he was always loyal and true. He was sympathetic in times of trouble and stern when discipline = = ;| had evidently stolen money from him when he wrote it, to “Philemon, our dearly beloved, and fellow-laborer,” and to other friends who were close to Philemon, concerning a friend of Paul whom Philemon would have counted any- thing but a friend—Onesimus, a slave belonging to Philemon, who It was a méssage and then run awa Paul wanted to bring about a reconciliation between these two men. The way in which he went about it beautiful. He began by telling Philemon of his love for him and of this thanks- giving for Philemon's love and faith and unselfish Christian service. The best way to win qa man's confidence is to speak heartily and = sincerely about the ‘best things in that man. Then Paul went on to say that he was going to make bold, because of their fellowship in Christ, si ask something of Philemon. He wrote the surprising news that thie prison nes had become a spiritual son of Paul, having evidently been brought to Paul in Rome while Paul was there in prison, and Paul had led him to Christ. It was convinc- ing evidence of the genuineness of Onesimus’s conversion and a Bes that the runaway slav going back to Philemon with “this jee ter from : the apostle asks his friend to crated the eg “not now a6 a servant, servant, a brother beloved, epesinily to me, how much more unto thee, both in the flesh and in the rd? Paul promises to repay any money that Onesimus may owe Philemon and asks the latter to “recelve him ag Bag Ape t has been pointed out that this titenemees the spffitual doctrine of “imputation perfectly. “Receive him-as myself,’ reckon to him my merit; ‘if he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account,’ reckon to me his demerit.” Dr. W raham Scroggie has re- cently written a valuable book on the Epistle to Philemon, well worth reading in connection w'th thie les- 6on, entitled, “A Note To A Friend."

MILLIONS HIS GENTLEMAN is busy “talking” tele- AL pos to death"—which is merely a way of saying that he is testing their transmission. qualities. He is a worker in the telephone researeh: laboratories, He has a rack of telephone trans- mitters and a phonograph. He “talks them to death” by means of the phonograph to see whether the transmitters give satisfactory results. : There have been 95 different types of trans- mitters and 64 different receivers to obtain the instrument you are using today. And men are t work now to find one still better. N THE NEXT ROOM another man is using an apparatus which rubs a piece of telephone cord back and forth until it frays. He is secking a better cord, He is the man who found that the brown cord in your tele- phone today wears better than the- green cord yoy used to have. You may not have noticed thé change from green to brown but it has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for telephone users. That is the business of these gentlemen—to make a better telephone and save money in doing it. HERE ARE NEARLY five thousand of them at work in the Bell Telephone Laboratories — the largest telephone resarch laboratories in the world — and the Bell Tele- phone Company of Canada owns a contract giving access to all the work they do. That is why your telephone system now ha? -the ingenious device known as the “loading coil” which transmits messages over wires fine as human hair. It used to be necessary to have heavy wires, Increasing in size with distance. The heavy wires were costly. The loading coil has saved millions in telephone costs. \ The underground cables developed in recent years are another of a score of similar benefits. They have wires to carry a vastly greater num- ber of messzges than they used to, but they are so compact and so efficient that they can be pulled through the original underground ducts. lf cables and ducts had to be increased in size with the vast new traffic the costs of telephon- ing would climb sky-high. % , HE NEW CABLES, like the brown cord and the loading coil, mean millions of dollars saved. These dollars are dollars in your pocket. Your telephone is being connected with thousands of new telephones across the country every week yct this increased value does not cost you more ‘because costs are suc- cessfully offset by the economies which te- search accomplishes. The gentleman testing the transmitter and the five thousand working in the laboratories with him are saving money for you every day and ‘foe rae the tele- phone adequate to serve the needs of Canadian progress.
