DUTY OF FORGIVENESS.
Matthew xviii. 21-3. ]

PETERS QUESTION. = Continuing his
teaching contained in the last lesson, JESUS
proceeds TO instruct his disciples respecting
their treatment of erring and offending
brethren,-that they should seek to restore
them to friendship and virtue, and when re-
stored, to extend to them fellowship and for
giveness. They must manifest willingness
to forgive great and often repeated offenses
(21-35). Peter inquired how often he should
forgive brother who sinned against him; if
as often as seven times. He knew that his
Master inculcated larger generosity and
adopted a more liberal Interpretation of the
Moral Law, and was more exacting in his
requirement, of personal moral duty, than
were the rabbins, and so in his inquiry he
extended the limits far beyond their require
ments. To forgive third time was the
limit of rabinnical teaching. Peter would
manifest by his question larger charity
than this, and no doubt thought that he was
proposing something great, which his Mas
ter might not sanction. Persons, even now,
cherishing forgiving spirit, are often
brought to feel that Peter's question was
practical one. They have forgiven one
greater wrong, perhaps, again and again.
How long are they bound to let this go on, is
a question that may finally arise.
THE sAvIoUR's ANSWERING" replied
JESUS, "that is not my limit. 1 do not say
until seven times, bat until seventy times
seven," or, "seventy- seven times" as it is in
the margin of the Revision. The effect of
JESUS answer is that he would declare no
limits. "Don't consider the number of
times, but let them be unnumbered, and if
need be innumerable." Christianity incul-
oates a forgiving spirit that is continuous
and perpetual. We must always be ready and
willing to forgive an offense; we must forgive
the offender alwa upon repentance. We may
kindly rebuke and earnestly entreat an erring
brother, and when he repents we must for
give him. eff thy brother sin, rebuke him;
if be repent; forgive him." is the Christian
law declared by the Master himself Luke
xvii. 14). We cannot at any time restore an
unrepentant offender to our confidence and
appreciation, but we can at all times mani
fest willingness to forgive and make some
effort to win such one to friendlines5 and
favor. BY frequent trsnsgression one may
destroy our confidence in his moral charac-
ter, but we should never permit our judg
ment or our feelings to put him beyond the
reach of our sympathy and benevolence.

1t IS commonly supposed that the only
persons who are eager for war are officers
who are anxious TO win fame and higher
rank. That woman should ever derive
an advantage from war, and the prepara-
tions for war, does not readily occur to
the imagination. Yet there is n firm in
Berlin that employs 200 girls who would
be thrown cut of employment if war
preparations should cease. They manu-
facture little bundles Of antiseptic dress

diers are to be supplied in future, so that

The human emotions which, being
struck, resouHd in slang are Of many
kinds. There Is fear aud desire Of secrecy
that may produce an esoteric language, a
kind Of verbal cipher, Ineligible only to
The initiated. This kind Of speech is very
useful 10 thieves Gs Ions rs the police are

much composed of Romuny, "YidGish"
chat very curious pigeon Hebrew,
French, Italian misprouoUHced, and words
merely hit out in a kind Of unconscious
TogTy, GEurative ana sensual. Nobady
knows what Leland lately wrote about
some gvPsies who had kind of Celtic CT
ure-Cel-ic dialect. and very probably there
Is good deal of ArCddian or PrOtO-NICdic
in Niddish. By reason, however, of the
never CeaSiug need Of new names for Old
things, the thief's slang is a very fugitive
and cvanescent speech. Travellers talk Of
families Of savageS which get separated in
the bush, and, when generation has
passed, the descendants OF each set speak
different tongue. In the same way alters
the talk OF thieves.-LOndOn Daily News.

The Vancouver, IS. c., Advertiser
correctly says that a seaport has
great advantages over an inland
town. In an interior agricultural
country u town must possess peculiar
natural advantages, or be the center
of several railway systems,to be able
to control the trade beyond aeon
paratively small circle. When far
mers have to haul their grain to q
market they viii naturally seek the
nearest shipping. point, and N an
agricultural country We consequently
lind numerous small towns each
with a little trade rather than a
good-sized city having its business
ramifcations over a large extent OF
territory. But from the very natnYe
OF things 1t is different on the coast,
and the people of 4 seaport have 4
much larger scope for the display
of enterprise and for building up a
town to do large trade and to con
troll the business of great extent OF
country.
