MASTER AND sun/ANT, Ephesians 6: 5-9. Slavery in Paul'., time was still a rm‘ugnized part of the social order. A -s'rive. was not considered to be a man, but a thing to be bought, sold, treated :ccoruling to the whims and wishes of his nuxsters. Paul it und in no reli- gion of Jesus the idea of man's equal- ity before God. His belief with re- gird to the institution of slavery evi- dently war “change the spirit of man, and the new spirit wi'l change the in- stitution, or abolish it." But neither slave nor master wa: ready get for the new freedom. Hence Paul advises the slaves not to think so much of their rights as of their privilege-that of rendering a useful service to a fel- low-man. In doing that, they are serving Christ himself. His rewards idisregard social distinctions, v. 8. lThat reward wsald be, in part, the 'lfbne,': and nobler character which such at attitude creates. 0n the other hand, a surly and re- sentful service degrades the workman, makes more difheuh the accomplish- ment the new order for which he longs. If the slave is to think of his privi. lege, the master is to think of the slave's right. Paul singles .ut the most common vice of master, abusive harshness. He says in effect, "These men arc your brothers. You are both under one Master who think: as high- ly of one as of the other." This is an unwelcome truth to the man who looks upon his employees merely as instru. ments of profit. If accepted by Labor and Capital a new and more Christian social order would soon emerge.

They were-let me emphasize it-isolated instances; and as such they made an impression on us which in the swarming countries to which we Europeans are ttt?t'ttS- tomed would not have been made.
