content with no outward sign of rec
onciliation; for when he has seen the
Wror~ 10 be nothing between himself
and God it cannot remain to seem
something between himself and his
brother. The heavy burden of believ-
ing that one needs to forgive or to
be forgiven personally is lifted by the
Christlike understanding wherein evil
IS forgotten in remembering good and
forgiven and forgiven are lost in the
larger sense of forgiveness wherein
Love is reflected in love" (Science
and Health with Key to the Scriptures,
the Christian Science textbook, p. 10.
The worn phrase. Il can forgive, but
not forget" is self contradictory and
self deceptive Wrong cannot be for
given so long as any remembrance of
1t remains. Only the glad recognition
OF good alone where evil seemed to be-
which floods out every bitter remem-
brance has any right to be called for
giveness. Thy sins be forgiven thee"
was spoken by Jesus to a woman who
could sin no more True forgiveness
comprehends the forgetting a swell as
the forestalling of evil; it is the COM
plete elimination of the belief that
the evil was or is or can be- because
good alone is real. The only actual
forgiveness is that which leaves no
one to forgive, and nothing to be for
gwen.
Hard though we strive to forgive
ourselves or others. we cannot do it
until we see the wrong simply as an
imposition by which evil is attempting
10 lnsinuate and perpetuate itself in
human consciousness. Then we can
refuse to be longer deluded by it. Je-
sus so recognized the impersonality of
evil that he as readily forgave those
who sought to wrong him as those
VINO sinned against themselves Wit
ness his forgiveness of the disciples
who deserted him in the hour of trial
and of the one who betrayed him into
the hand of his enemies From the
height of divine, overcoming love. Je-
sus prayed for his prosecutors: Faith
er, forgive them; for they know not
what they do" In this supreme ex-
preston of forgiveness he separated
between a malicious murderous sense
of evil and the true concept of man,
and saw, in spite of overwhelming
evidence to the contrary, the power
lessness of evil to separate man from
God.

Patriotism at the Source

This is time when di vision and partsanism
is division, should not be allowed to weaken the
country. 1t should not be allowed to weaken it
the head or in any part of it. Our quickened sense
of patriotism should inspire harmonious effort
in relation with the national government the
government and the government of the smallest
political subdivision.
We should more than strive for honesty and
efficiency at the source If we have such govern
ments in cities and towns will have them in
the and win have such a government in the
nation.
More than ever patriotism now should call us
to attend to the seemingly little and unimportant
things. We more loudly called by patriotism to
the municipal election in Phoenix tomorrow. There
should be apathy anywhere in the land in regard
to public affairs

The Crisis

In the crisis that the nation confronts
today absolute national unity should be
maintained, partisanship should be for
iottcn and as united people, we should
,aud behind our president and the con
gress in whatever they feel that the con-
science and honor of America demand.
These times are awakening the very
so0I Of the nation and we believe that
our people, faithful to the great tradi
tons of this country, in a spirit Of de-
voted patriotism will support unflinch
ingiv whatever policy the president and
caugress may adopt.
If it be war, America, at least, will

having exhausted every honorable eff
fort to maintain peace.

Not merely generous but universal response
should be made to the movement of the Defense

display of the Stars and Stripes, beginning with

enng. We pleased yesterday in a tour of the
country about the city to the Haunting of the

STUPID

To smell the perfume of rose
Or blossoms rare, that summer knows;
To taste the nectar of a peach
Or luscious fruits within our reach
To hear n bird murmuring brook,
Or woman's song in some still nook;
To watch the sun sink in the West
beyond the oceans dazzling crest;
To feel the baby fingers tight,
That cling around our own at night;
To kiss the lips love the best,
Or hold a dear head on ones breast;
To feel at times in life's dark hour
The mercy of a hidden Power;
To think and read and thus to find
The treasures of another mind;
To do all these exquisite things,
Shared equally by serfs and kings;
To do all these-and STILL not know
Gods perfect love hath made them so.
