Stockholm, Sweden.-"You want to

question offhand" SO said a custom
house officer at Haparanda, the little
Swedish town on the frontier of Fin

writer, who went up the Tornea valley
to investigate the smuggling stories.
"While was waiting for the Over
Tornea train to start, a motorcycle
chugged into the station yard" said
Ericsson.

ITSELF. With this thought in mind,
let us again read first Chronicles, 21st

ter. And with much thoughtfulness
and prayer compare the conditions of
Israel and David then with those of
the present time. Pride and selfishness
have run riot in the world. We have

pleasure and wealth, and have forgot
ten Jehovah, not even the near ap-
proach of famine in many parts of the
world with its deprivations or the hor-
or of war with all its suffering and
sacrifice have been sufficient to bring
he world to her sense of sin and error.
But it must of necessity take the ter
rible hand of pestilence that has come
into the circle of our friends and low
ed ones to bring us to our knees,

ty and reverence cause us to bow be-

nation we should humble ourselves
and acknowledging our sins pray the
Father that the pestilence may be

TheBible study for next Lords day

tiful story is found in Gen. As. Read 1t
and ponder it's graphic portrayal OF
real brotherly love. One of the les
sons it suggests is, "The Strength and
Beauty of Forgiveness. When the
Germans retreated from certain
French village they had occupied for
months they left it in ruins. From
some underground dwelling number
of children came and knelt in prayer.
Together they prayed the Lords pray
er until they came to the words For

Debtors" They paused when they con-
sidercd the unspeakable atrocities they
had Witnessed An officer had come up
and with uncovered head was standing
near. When they paused he took up
the prayer, "and forgive US our debts"
Looking up the children saw that 1T
was none other than King Albert OF
Belgium. Together with the kingly
leader they prayed through to the end.
Let us cultivate the spirit of forgive
ness toward others as we ourselves
seek forgiveness from God.
