Amid the fields of grain;
The faces of the school mates dear to me

And, while before the study hours,

With it's old, familiar sound.
Then we gayly troop to the school-house

Where our teachers smiling face
Greets us with nod and "Good-morning"

AS we pass to our wonted place.
Then we study and play as the day goes
by,
Till the setting of the sun,
When we take again the homeward road
And the bright school day is done.
All, those were days of long ago;
Their sun has long been set,
But in dawn of another morn
We will meet each other yet.

Had been undone and conscience still,
Our path would be almost as smoothe as

A lesson on forgiveness. Matt. IS.
s1-35. Read the whole chapter.
Golden Text" Forgive, that We
shall be forgiven" Luke 6; 81.
Peter had asked the Lord, "How
often shall my brother sin against me,
and forgive him2 Till seven times9"
Aud Jesus answered, ~ say not unto
thee, until seven times, but, until
seventy times seven" And then he
told him that the Kingdom Of Heaven
is like a certain king which would
take account of his servants, and one
OF them owed him more than fifteen
million dollars, which he could not pay.
And the king commanded him to be
sold. with his wife and children, and all
that he had, and payment to be made.
And when this servant asked tor time
to pay, the king had compassion on
him. and forgave him the debt.
But this servant found one of his
fellow servants who owed him less
than fifteen dollars, and he demanded
payment. And when his fellow ser
yant asked for time to pay, be would
not wait, but put him in prison. And
the other servants told the king, who
was very angry with his servant
whose great debt he had forgiven, and

till he should pay all that was due
unto him.
And Jesus said, $50 likewise shall
My Heavenly Father do also unto
you, if ye from your hearts forgive

passes. "
Jesus had told His disciples that the
n of judgment which they gave
one another would be given them
and the kind of forgiveness which
they bestowed would be given to
them. And He taught them to pray,
Forgive us our trespasses. as we
forgive them sthat trespass against
us" That heavenly law is still in
force. III any man have quarrel
against any, even as CHRIST forgave
you, SO also do ye." "But If ye for
give not men their trespasses. neither
will your Father forgive your tres.
passes. Z"
How many debts there are, greater
than money. How often kindness,
and gentleness, and patience, and for
bearance, and love, are due to others,
and payment not rendered How
often others owe us courtesy, and
consideration, which they do not pay,
and manhood resents it, like the serv-
ant who demanded of his fellow all
that was due; forgetting the vast debt
which the King had forgiven.
Some one has suggested that COM
plant of others debt to us, be made
to our King, telling Him of their
faults, and adding these Bible words,
Search me, 0 God. and know my
heart: try me, and know my thoughts
and see if there be any wicked way in
me, and lead me in the way everlast
ing" 1t is said that forgiving and
forgiven spirit will be the result.
