seven times, but seventy times seven,
or as often as might. be necessary, a
brother is to be forgiven.
A real social problem as this OF
Peters life is intricate, and we must
the world to its best, the individual
must be his best. All social rela-
tions are at basis personal. They
are questions of human relationship.
Jesus lifted these up into the high
plane of a constant spirit of forgive
ness, like unto that of God himself.
The atmosphere here is rare, but the
horizon Is wide. Human problems are
to be solved by divine attitude.
A Vivid Story.
Lincoln's art of barking teaching
with tale is sound pedagogy. Jesus
answered this question of forgiveness
by the story of the king who forgave
a rascally servant ten million dollars
The man was not able to pay the huge
debt, but the king repented of his first
natural impulse to sell him and his all
as a debtor, and SO let him go free. 1t
was a great forgiveness.
But that servant himself failed to
learn the lesson of compassion written
so large in his kings conduct. He
sought out fellow servant, who owed
him about sixteen dollars and with
violence and vengeance sought to
make him pay, casting him into prison.
The fellow servants of the king here
appear in the story, exercising that
common spirit of fairness which is
best bulwarked in the heart Of the
Min ~ nd 4
against this injustice. The surest cor
rective of social wrongs is a sound
public opinion. 1t was the judgment
of his fellows that brought the for
given but unforgiving servant to JUS
tice and caused him to be delivered
over. by the king for punishment.
The Dread Conclusion.
Persons who have milk and water
conception OF God will revolt from the
conclusion of this story. They do not
think that God should punish sin. Yet
1t is written clear In the words of
Jesus himself that God will not for:
give the unforgiving. This sounds ter
rible, yet 1t becomes clear, upon
thought, that God cannot be God If he
looks mildly upon persistent sin, and
permits anarchy in the moral realm.
The reasonableness Of this Is real
ly apparent God is creating new
order Of human society: he is teaching
people to live together as brothers. To
do this he sees that they must have a
new mind, which will be a more
heavenly mind. But unforgiveness is
diabolical: it savors of hell and not of
heaven. 1t is contrary to the state Of
mind which is essential to the new
order of society which God contem-
plates. Just as Satan could not exist
in heaven, so in heavenly society on
earth the quality of hate and
vengeance, which are Of the pit, can
not be permitted Any human society
that is to live in peace and helpful
ness, simply must have constant
exercise OF the quality. of forgiveness.
A more practical lesson has not
been taught in the whole interna-
tional series. This study of the virtue
of forgiveness, on the basis Of the
words of Jesus has bearing upon
every human life. The words Of Profess
sor William James are pertinent:
