WHEN YOUR SINS
ARE FORGIVEN
ny REV. CHARLES STEELE

staff wrifsr on Religious Subject
for The Star.
How many times are you cx.
pcc;ed TO forgive a man, The
disciples once asked that ques-
tion--and one OF them. who
thought himself very generous.
wondered whether seven times
wasn't a pretty liberal allow
ance 10 make for an errlnE
brother.
Seven timcs7" Jesus said.
"no--sevcnty times seven"
To be sure. u wasn't expect.
ed that this reply would be
taken li,erally--for you'd soon
lose count--and that's exactly
what Jesus expected men to do
Ito keep on forgiving and for
giving 20 the end Of the road.
Maybe this seems foolish. but
that's what God Is DOING all the
time for every one Of US.
Who Is there that doesn't
break one or more OF the com.
mandmcnts every day OF his
life7 Seventy times severn
why. that's only a little more
than year Of your life and
mine.
with many OF us It's seven
ty' times seven times seven
times Notwithstanding that we
pinned only once a day.
Most of us would multiply
all this by seven and still be far
from the enormity of our sin.
"If ye forgive not men their
trespasses. how can your heav.
emily father forgive you your
trespasses?" Jesus once asked.
And there you have the phil
osophy OF the matter Of for.
given sin-your own sins will
be forgiven only In the proper.
ton that you forgive the sins
OF others.

Weekly Financial Review
By Assoeiated Press

New York, February 23.-The trend ability of an issue of short-term notes as substitute for a Victory bond of- fering, abandonment for the present session of congressional railroad legis- lation and another substantial federal appropriation for transportation main tenance, constituted the chief develop ments of an active week in the se- curities market.
 Trading was on the largest and broadest scale so far this year, but in vestment issues were most often ob = scured by the prominence and strength of speculative 4stocks especially oils, motors and their subsidiaries, tobac- cos, feathers and a score of minor Specialties.
 Contrary to the conditions of read justment and demobilization now prev alent in most fields of industry pools and other professional interests ap- peared to believe that the future held much promise for such commodities as oils. motors and related products.
 Existence of a very large short ac- count made possible the, sharp rally of the week in steels and coppers. In the trade a sharp divergence of opin- ion still existed regarding the outlook for metals, but most of the copper group attained their highest levels fol- lowing publication of the very unfavor- able statements of the several com panies.
 The remarkable foreign trade report for January, surpassing all records of the war period, and authoritative re- views bearing upon the domestic busi- ness situation, the latter of most en- couraging tenor, accounted for the huge volume of bank clearings at prin- cipal reserve centers and firmer money lte9dencies.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New Orleans, February 23-Fluc- tuations in cotton last week carried prices both we'll above and we'll below the level Of the close of the preced- ing week but net changes were small. amounting to advances of ? to 26 points, except on July, which was one down, net Holders of long contracts were disposed to liquidate toward the end and this, together with moderate short offerings, made for a declining tendency following the reaching of the highest levels just prior to the middle of the week.
 The main developments of the week were the widening out of the dis counts on the lower grades in the spot markets of the south and the meet ings and conventions held in the beir for the organizing of movement to reduce the acreage of the coming crop Both these features helped to give tho market a steady undertone, and n some measure. to check aggressive trading.
 The revisions of the week brought the average discount on good ordi- nary down to 10.31 points among the 10 designated spot markets of the country and this lowering of the price of the low grades is generally expected to have far-reaching results yin the eni In this market. at the end of the week, good ordinary stood 10.50 points off middling.
 This coming week much interest will be taken in the unfolding of the March position. already practically ths spot month. Monday will be first no- tice day for the incoming spot position and there is much curiosity over ten ders at the snew differences between grades.
 The weather over the belt was ex, tremely unfavorable last week because of too much rain and further rains this week would probably be an im- portant bullish influence, just as bright and warm weather would serve to increase bearish sentiment in connection with the new crop The growth of the movement to reduce cotton planting may become a market influence of considerable effect but il is generally thought that this feature will not fully develop until planting time actually is here.

 New York, February 23.-Steel pro- ducers have shown considerable oppo- sition to re-establishment of govern mental relation as proposed by Secre- tary Redfie1d to stabilize the basic in- dustries. according to reports in the local markets.
 Such a version, it was said in some quarters, might cause setback in progress already made toward read justment on peace basis.
 Though slight price shading has been recorded in recent bids for bat tleship plates, manufacturers generally declared no reductions on a large scale could be expected under present wage standards and they admitted adjust ments along this line were impract4- cable as long at the cost of living re- mained at it's present level.

Nothing is more important from the health viewpoint than a good stoln ach.
 The stomach is the source of bodily power. Food is taken into it. If that organ functions normally the food is slgested and its nourishing properties are distributed through the body. But
 if the stomac., is in poor condition, in digestion results. and the stomach,
 instead of acting as a dispensing agent
 for body nourishment, becomes a TO- ceptacle for rotting masses of food.
 How can a good, healthy stomach be acquired and then retained?
 Daily performance of exercise de- signed to build up the stomach to the healthiest possible condition-thats $ the answer,
 If your stomach and intestinal tracts do not function correctly, the devotion of about 15 minutes of your time each day to the performance of few sim pie exercises should accomplish mar vicious results for you. If your lower organs are all right now, why not take out health insurance by exercis- Ing Gally ana so Keep the Stomach anu bowels in splendid condition? The interior of the stomach has a surface which is corrugated in appear ance. When food is received into q healthy stomach, it immediately pro- duces muscular contraction.
