ply because we cry for mercy. Adam and the entire race might have called for mercy and would have received none, except in the divine way-through Jesus through faith in His blood. Nor could this forgiveness be granted until Jesus had finished His sacrifice and ascendeu up on high. and there appeared Tn the presence of God on behalf of those com Ing to the Father through His merit
 This parable refers entirely to subse- quent sins-Sins referred to in our Lord prayer, Forgive us our trespasses, as We forgive them that trespass against us. This is shown also by the fact that the parable speaks of these as servants whereas the world. as sinners, are not Gods servants, but aliens, strangers. foreigners. The only ones whom God will recognize as Servants are such as have come back into relationship with Him through Jesus-through faith and conservation. These are servants of God and are required to have mercy upon their fellow servants-upon other brethren. How wonderful are the divine arrangements how blessed, how profitable, how helpful to US in our preparation for the kin,aoni soon to be established in power and glory.

 An Important Lesson Here
 What is the lesson? It is that we should have compassion upon one another, even as we desire that God for Christ's sake should have compassion upon us. The lesson is well expressed in our text We should be kind one to another, tender hearted as God in Christ forgaye us-and continues to forgive our trespasses day by day. The trespasses of others against Us are trifling indeed in comparison to our obligations to the Lord. We should there fore be very willing to forgive all who ask us-"until seventy times seven." In thus exercising mercy we will be copying the divine character. The influence upon our hearts and lives will be ennobling
 So Also Did God Do Unto You
 Our Lord Jesus explains that His para ble teaches the principles along which the Heavenly Father deals with the members of the body of Christ, the church. If they are harsh and unsympathetic, if they hold their brethren to a strict account along lines of justice, then the Heavenly Father will so deal with them, and will hold them to account for all their short comings It would seem that if Gods people would realize the force of this les son, the practice of forgiying the brethren their trespasses and shortcomings would 
 very generously and very generally be brought into play, for who of us could ar ford to have the Heavenly Father exact of us a full penalty for every imperfec- ton. refusing to show any mercy?
 As we remember and appreciate our own weaknesses and blemishes, it will make us sympathetic with the brethren and with all mankind And mercy, generosity, sympathy, God delights in. Such as cultivate these graces of the Spirit will be pleasing in the Lords sight, and they will thereby be fitted and prepared to have share with Jesus in His throne of glory. for that great Messianic Kingdom will be established for the very purpose of showing mercy unto all mankind who will return to divine favor and blessing, under clearer knowledge and with the assistance that will then be afforded
 We are not to understand this parable to refer to divine forgiveness of original sin The sin of Adam is not forgiven sim

dence and safeguard health. The admin istration must allow no slaclSness or vio- lation of the rules, for of all the places in the world food should be clean, or derly and hygienic. If subietting is pro- hibited and the stall holders are subject ed to closest scrutiny before admission. and to penalties for subsequent breaches of regulations, there is ample protection against combines or general misbehaVior.
 Useful to All Alike
 There should also be control of the area immediately surrounding the mar kets to insure market tolls being paid on all produce brought to the city. Under these circumstances 1 am sure that mu- nicipal markets will be useful to produce CTS, retailers and consumers alike. Their applicability is not confined to any par ticular size of city. I have found munich pay markets yielding all round results in centers of population ranging all the way from 25,000 to 100000. The only differ ence is in the extent of the facilities. That is to say, in the small city the markets would be mostly for the produc- CTS to come directly into touch with con sumers; while in the large cities there would be big wholesale terminals serving as clearing houses for produce and sup plying many of the demands of the local retail markets. Thus while small cities would not, in all probability, make a sue cess of municipal slaughter houses. the nearest big city could be made the great emporium for live stock and the distribut- ing center for the meat required over a wide range of territory"
 From the foregoing 1t will be seen that Mrs. Black has her subject well in hand, and that she has been close study of the market system. Her conclusions are well worth the consideration of any municipal ity which desires to work out a market plan

Rr c. E. STEWART

Washington, December 10.-tSpeclal)- Just back from Europe, where she was presented at the court of St. James in London and was honored as a distin- guished attendant upon the peace confer ence at Geneva, Mrs. Elmer Black of New York, now visiting Washington, brought from the old countries no ideas that would supplant municipal markets as a means of solving, partially at least, the problems of the living costs.
 Mrs. Black declares that she gained a new perspective of the problems. and she asserted that not until she looked at the home markets from the distance of the continental cities did she realize how closely the United States is approaching a greater food crisis than this country has ever known.

in the facilities for the sale and distri- button of food, she says, but there is need for constant watehfulness to elimi- nate waste between farm and fireside Mrs. Black believes that the general and close interest of the people in municipal markets is a hopeful sign, and she says that much hardship can be averted if pre- cautionary methods are applied.
 Has Given Subject Close Study
 Mrs Black has given the question of the cost of living very close study, both Tn the United States and Europe, and her views upon this subject, which has probably been more widely discussed re- gently than any other, are certainly very perhaps the more so because she is woman, and students of econom- les among the genter sex are not so numerous, but that she should attract at tention, particularly when she presents her views in a most entertaining man her.
 Most important of all is the meat sup ply said Mrs. Black. Ten years ago London received from America nearly half the 100000 tons of meat required every year to feed it's millions. Today America is consuming almost all it's own meat, and our packers are looking to the Argentine for future augmentation of the supplies.
 But there we shall have to meet the of buyers not merely from free trade England, but protective con- tinental countries as well, some of whose urban centers are experiencing such a shortage of ordinary flesh foods that the consumption of horse flesh is increasing to an amazing extent. No less than 20 ad- ditional centers for the sale of horse flesh have been licensed in Berlin in the past year, and even now, that Russian meat is being admitted for sale at the municipal markets, the demand is greater than the supply.

Brings 25 Per Cent Reduction

Besides making profit to the city, I have ample proof that a properly To- cated, administered and inspected market does bring to the consumer a reduction of 25 per cent and upward on farm and garden products. When you consider that under present conditions the farmer only receives 9 cents of the consumers dollar there is a wide enough margin between production and delivery for saving of that extent.
 T speak chiefly of vegetables and fruits when l give that percentage. 1t is even higher when one considers the pur- chase of meat Now why should so much of our meat go first to Chicago, there to be slaughteredS and then sent back very often to the same state in which it was grown? If we adopted the continental system of having municipal slaughter houses attached to the public markets we would have to pay far less in freight charges and would benefit both consum- CTS and producers at the same time. Municipal markets to be profitable and prosperous must be administered along certain well defined lines, though, of course, local conditions may dictate var- atons of detail. There must be efficient inspection of all foods to create conf-

Abandon Haphazard Methods

All this points to the fact that we must no longer trust to haphazard meth ods in this country. This is an age of close organization in business and we must apply the same efficiency to the municipal machine if the community is to receive it's due return of benefit. Not that I consider the making of profit on the markets is the all important matter, though I can prove that all the great Eu- ropean markets are at least self support ing. Beyond that is the increased ef- fieiency of the people resulting from fresh, cheap, varied and ample food supply. More than ever before in this world S history the struggle is to the strong and the race to the swift If nothing is done to meet the cost of living hundreds ot thousands of our citizens will not be able to purchase such supplies as will build the best physique and maintain the are all important in this age of celerity.
 My own interest is directed chiefly by the consideration of the women and chill dren, whose welfare in this and the next generation rests largely on the solution of the problems that surround the market basket Not only are the women of to- day bowed down under a load of care that can to a large extent be frightened, but the stamina of those who will pres ently be in our places as the adult citi- zens of the United States is being gravely Impaired by the cosuiness of proper food
