The appliâ€" cation of that principle has been the destruction of slavery in every Chrisâ€" tian society. When a man recognizes in another a member of his own famâ€" ily, he will no longer treat him as a bit of machinery. He will then cease utilizing every opportunity to make money out of his brother‘s need. He Paul‘s letter also suggests the Christian relationship in business and industry. Onesimus had been a worthâ€" less slave. Now he is coming back cf his own free will. Only one thing ~ould make that possibleâ€"love. Love will make of Onesimus a better slave chan he has ever been. On the other hand. it will make of Philemon a new kind of master. Once, probably, he looked upon Onesimus as ar instrumeat of profit. Now he will see in him a broâ€" Paul‘s letter suggests the Christian way of dealing with our fellows. He could have commanded Philemon. Philemon owed Paul a great deal, inâ€" eluding his spiritual life. Paul, as an apostle also, had great powers. But be preferred to use persuasion, and roly on the affection of his friends and sr‘ritual children. He would win by love rather than by law. The "I comâ€" mand you" method may win mechanâ€" ical obedience; it cannot create a helpâ€" ful and happy relationship. Paal, therefore, did not make his demand from the position of a master. He appeale. on the level of ordinary hnâ€" man brotherhood. He is jast an "old man," old before is time, it is trus. He is in jail, He :s Philemon‘s fellowâ€" worker. A response to that kind of an appeal will mean »lessing for all three. ¢ o‘ Paul writes to intercede for a runâ€" away s ave, Onesimus. He had been a worthless fellow and bad finally run away, after roobing his master, as Paul hints, of a considerable sum of money. He made his way to Rome, as fugitive slaves usually did. Eventvâ€" ally, destitute and lenesome, he met the only man in that great city whom he could trust to befriend him. "‘Througl.

The letter is an appeal for forgiveness, and also to have Oneâ€" simus received, not merely as a slave, but as & brother in the Lord. ‘ 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 pracâ€" tical helgfnlneu. How this warmâ€" hearted brother who evidently preâ€" ferred to remain in the backzround (Col. 4: 17) must have been gladdenâ€" ed and encouraged at having his labors thus recognized and appreciatâ€" ed by the great apostle!

He was wellâ€"toâ€"do, able to keep servants, entertain the church in his own house (v. 2), and act as a public benefactor, vs. 5, 7. The Christian communities were as yet small and had no buildings of their own. Some wealthier member gave the use of his house for their gatherings. Philemon was greatly loved for his work among the poor. It is evident from v. 7 that the whole church at Colossz had beneâ€" fited by some particularly needed and welcomed gift. ovember 29.

But the most efficient method of proâ€" ducing this nitrogen in usable form is the direct synthesis of ammonia gas from its two chemical elements, nitroâ€" gen and hydrogen. During the war, Germany‘s desperate need of nitrogen for explosivesâ€"the Chilean supply beâ€" ing cut off by the blockadeâ€"stimuâ€" lated the practical development of the first steps in this direction taken by the distinguished German chemist, Professor _ Fritz Habor. British, The second reason his prediction failed was becauso of the marvellous advance in synthetic chemistry, This enables us now to imitate lightningâ€" that is, to accomplish the artificial fixation of the inexhaustible but useâ€" less nitrogen of the air, At first, powerful electric ares played in air to force some of the atoms to combine. This has been almost discarded. Anâ€" 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 cynanamid, used directly as a fertilizer or convertible to other compounds. [ Sir William Crookes‘ prediction of worldâ€"disaster went wrong for two reaâ€" 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 nitrogen which lightning and Tgerms combined in the Coal Age. The other is the natural nitrate of Chile, where millions of tons of combined nitrogen, probably formed by lightâ€" ning on the stormy crest of the Anâ€" des, have accumulated in a rainless desert whence none of the preclous‘ material has washed away. Sir Wilâ€" liam _ underestimated _ both _ these sources. New methods, such as the Guggenheim process, have been deâ€" vised, to work the Chilean deposits more efficiently, thus saving thousands of tons of nitrogen that formerly went‘ to waste. Since no living plant or animal can use air nitrogen directly, essential as it is for the growth of living protopâ€" lasm, bofore the days of man or of synthetic chemistry, life on earth had to depend for its nitrogen on lightning and on gorms. Every lighning flash shatters a tiny percentage of the oxyâ€" 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, esâ€" pecially those that live on the roots of clover and alfalfa and related plants, have imposed upon them the duty of replenishing the nitrogen of the soil, and furnish the reason why the wise farmer includes these plants in his crop rotation. Either she must become a nitrogenâ€" 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 worldâ€" 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, Within these five years the situation has been reversed. The use of fertiâ€" lizer nitrogen has increased about 50 per cent., while production has inâ€" creased 100 per cent. With production of synthetic nitrogen from the air inâ€" creased 1000 per cent., a reduction of about 50 per cent in prices, and furâ€" ther large increases in sight, it is cerâ€" tain that the United States will soon produce much more nitrogén than it consumes. i A generation ago _ Sir William Crookes stgrtled the world by predictâ€" ing famine because of lack of nitrogen for fertilizers. During the war miliâ€" tary authorities of the United States were gravely concerned about possible shortage of nitrogen for explosives, as well as for the increased food producâ€" tion to supply the demands of war. Even five years ago the production of fertilizer nitrogen in the United States was less than half ‘of the country‘s consumption, hindering more efficient farming through shortage of domestic supplies and by the high price of imâ€" ported products. Farm Relief By Chemistry (Fromâ€" Review â€"of Reviews, Lugust, 1931) British Guiana supplies rice to nearâ€" by colonies in competition with India.

Phosphorus and potash have become important fertilizers as a result of chemical research. We might call the process atomic torture. A nitrogen atom has a cenâ€" tral nucleus composed of fourteen parâ€" ticles of positive electricity and seven of negative electricity tightly clumped together, with seven more negative particles revolving loosely about this central point like planets about a sun., The hydrogen atoms consist of a cenâ€" tral nucleus~of only one positive elecâ€" tric particle, with a single negative one revolving about it To produce ammonia the chemist must make each rnitrogen atom accept union with three hydrogen ones. â€" This is done by comâ€" pressing nitrogen gas from the air and hydrogen gas from natural gas or trom‘ water by thousands of pounds to the square inch, and passing it over a flno‘ dust of iron, nickel, or some other catalyst. It is believed that the outâ€" side particles of nitrogen are distortâ€"| ed so that they lose their hold on the nucleus and combine with the hydroâ€"‘ French and American chemists each contributed ideas and experiments, unâ€" 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 conâ€" sumed on farms and in the factories of the world.

J Berlinâ€"Perhaps no vegetable has become so popular in Germany as the tomato, and yet some thirty years ago it was hardly known. When it did apâ€" pear, it was regarded with suapiclon‘ on account of its brilliant color IndJ considered harmful. For a long time, under the name of Lisbesapfe!l (love apple) it was only cultivated in a few gardens for decoration. _ Toâ€"day the tomato is eaten and enjoyed in every . form by rich and poor alike.

Copenhagen, for instance, moves almost entirely on the bicycle, so does the Hague. In Beriin the streets are crowded with bicycles at the hours when people are going or coming from work,.

Bedford is the most famous "bicycle town" in England, and has the highest proportion of bicycles to its populaâ€" tion. ‘This is probably due to the flatâ€" ness of the surrounding country. In Bedford the preponderance of bicycles is so great that shopkeepers make speâ€" clal arrangements for parking them.

At another town the local musicat director gave Noveilis a kindly warnâ€" ing to be careful what he said to the trombone player. The passage was played over with distressing results and Novellis sat down in the orchestra chair, the power of speech being uncequal to the occasion. Presently he was observed to be taking off his shoes. Then he called to the erring double bass: "Come here. my poy! Measure me for a pair of shoes and for Goodâ€" ness sake go home and make them." "I can‘t help it, Mr. Novellis," proâ€" tested the offender. "I‘m not a reguâ€" lar professional musician."
