MONDAY SERVICE
REV. BEVERLY WARNER DELIVERS
 LAST ADDRESS,.
ssForgive Us Our TFespass Az We For. Eive Those Who Trespass Against
 Us,, Was His Closing .., Subject.

' Rev. Beverly Warner delivered tme last of his addresses on the Lords Prayer. yesterday at the midday serv- ice in the Majestic Theatre. It was very impressive and its power sprane entirely from the persuasive sympathy with which it was uttered. At the close. all the audience, over 200 men who ha'n dropped in from their businesses to get spiritual refreshment, rose. to snow their appreciation of his talks to them.
 He took up the petition. Forgive us our trespass as we forgive those who ,trespass against us"
 'In the Lords Prayer" he saio' the cry of the soul follows the cry or the body.
 "Very often you hear men say, this world is good enough for me. Don't talk to me of another world they say. But there comes day. when between the light and darkness, the bold front of such a man Is melted away. All that has gone to buoy him up drops away. He realizes that man can ho' live by bread alone.
 may not call 1t sin. They may call IL restlessness, sickness of mind or some other more pleasant and less direct name. But sin 1t is, for he knows that he has trespas ssed. And the time comes when he asks for forgiveness.
 What is that we ask for when we ask for, forgiveness? It Is not and ought to be, remission of the penalty.
 "A man wastes soul. body and mind in his youth, say. How can he expect to enter into manhood, fully endowed He has got to go through the toll and task work of a child to get fitted to mans work and have mans heritage.
 There Is no remission of suffering. Suffering Is part of forgiveness. But God suffers too. You know how the father sorrows after he has taken back his son after he has sinned. It costs to forgive your son. You can not for get what he did, although you have forgiven him.
 "A man who is unwilling to pay the penalty and bear the suffering Is not forgiven.
 "In this petition against the others we find the word. 'us'. When we sin in this world. we cannot sin by our selves. We either sin by ourselves or with some one. When we ask God to forgive us we ask him to forgive all that we have done to smirch other lives, what we have done to trip up others in our wrong-doing.
 When we have to remember the sins of the other man and the other wo- man, which we may have planted in them. Our prayer is a prayer of ne- cessity. We are linked to each other in sin.
 "The prayer involves repentance, and says Lead us not into temptation Un- less & man really repents, he is bIas- pheming when he says those words.
 This brings in reparation. We should do all that lies in human power to make up for the wrongs that we have done others. ."
