An Important. Lesson Here.
What is the lesson? The lesson is
well expressed in our text. We should
be kind to one another, tender-heart-
ed as God in Christ forgave us-and
continues to forgive US day by day.
The trespasses of others against us
are trifling indeed in comparison TO our
obligations to the Lord. We should
therefore be very willing to forgive all
who ask us-'until seventy times
seven" In thus exercising mercy we
Will be copying the Divine character
AS we remember our own weak
nesses and blemishes. it will make US
sympathetic with the brethren and
by be fitted and prepared to have a
share with Jesus in His Throne of glo-
~, for that great Messianic Kingdom

pose of showing mercy unto all man
kind who will return to Divine favor
and blessing under clearer knowledge
and with the assistance then afforded

forgiven except in the Divine way
through Jesus-through faith in His
blood. The parable refers to subse-
quent sins-sins referred to in our
Lords prayer, Forgive us our tres
passes, as we forgive them that tres
pass against u.s." This is shown 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 recognizes as
are such as have come into
relationship with Him through Jesus
through faith and conservation These
are servants of God and are to have
mercy upon their fellow-servants.

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 buIwarked in the heart of the
plain people: and they protested
against this injustice The surest cor
receive 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 a milk and water
conception of God will revolt from the
conclusion of this story They do not
think that God should punish sin
Yet it is written clear in the words
of Jesus Himself that God will not
forgive the unforgiving. This sounds
terrible, yet it 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 really
apparent. God is creating a new or
der OF human society: He is teaching
people to live together as brothers. To
do this He sees that they must have
new mind. which will be a more
heavenly mind. But unforgiveness is
diabOlical; it savors of hell and not
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 d heavenly society
on earth the quality of hate and VEN
geance, which are of the pit, cannot
be permitted. Any human society that
is to live in peace and helpfulness,
simply must have a constant exercise
of the quality of forgiveness.
y more practical lesson has not been
taught in the whole international
series. This study of the virtue of for
giveness, on the basis of the words
of Jesus. has a bearing upon every
human life. The words of Professor
William James are pertinent:
Seize the very first possible op-
portunity to act on every resolution
you make, and on every emotional
prompting you may experience in the
direction of the habits you aspire
to gain. 1t is not in the moment of
their forming but in the moment of
their producing motor effects, that re-
solves and aspirations communicate the
new set to the brain. Novel reading
Or theater going, or even music, can
produce monsters in the way of peo-
pie who feel but do not act. The
would be never to suffer ones
self to have an emotion, say a con-
cert. without expressing it in some
active way Let the expression be the
least thing in the world-speaking
genially to ones aunt, or giving up
ones seat in the horse-car, if nothing
more heroic offers-but let it not fail
to take place."

If you were busy being kind,
Before you knew it you would find
You'd soon forget to think twas true
That some one was unkind to you
If you were busy being glad,
And cheering people who are sad
Although your heart might ache a bit
You'd soon forget to notice it
If you were busy being good,

You'd not have time to blame some man
Who's doing just the best he can.
