Is There Any Forgiveness?-1.

Is There Any Forgiveness?-1.
The most curious thing in the world
is the faith sinners have in forgive
ness. They believe that all they have
- do is to say that they are sorry for
the offense they have committed
against US, and forthwith wet sponge
is drawn across the slate, and the
score wiped out against them.
There could be nothing less true
than this. There is no forgiveness in
this sense in which they imagine it.
When we say that we forgive people
who have wfonged us we merely mean
that we charish no anLmosity for the
evil they have done US, and will take
no vengeance upon them.
But as for "forgiving and forget
ting" as the old phrase goes, those
stultify themselves who ask for such
a thing, and those lie who pretend to
do It. What has been done, has been
done. What has been, has been. The
faith that has failed us, the greed
that has robbed us, the cruelty that
has stabbed us. are facts that will live
in eur memory as long as conscious
ness is with us.
They are not to be blotted out by
a few words of repentance, or an
easily shed tear or two. They can
not even be atoned for, because they
Stayed something beautiful within our
hearts that never comes to life again.
When you can take the shattered
leaves of & rose and make a bud Of
them again then will love be able to
flower in all its pristine freshness
above the grave in which forgiveness
has buried the offense against it, not
before.
It would take a superman or woman
to work that miracle. The balance
OF us who are merely groundiings, are
incapable of it. We say we forgive
those who trespass against us. and
we mean that we cherish no enmity
against them. that we even pity them
as poor Weaklings, and crooks who do
not have it in them to go straight, or
to keep the faith We may even go
along bearing the same outward re-
lationship to those who have wronged
us. because sometimes We can best
save a bad situation that way, OF for
business, or family reasons.
And If we are big enough. after hav-
ing condoned the offense. to cover IL
up with silence, the sinners go blithely
along their way. convinced that our
forgiveness has settled their score, and
that they have regained their old-ume
place in our affection.
Men have been particularly active
in spreading this propaganda about
forgiveness SO far as women are con-

What is the cause?
Unemployment in the United States
today is due primarily to the dispute
between capital and labor.
There must be cooperation and it
must come at once. Capital must get
out from behind tax lodging methods
in connection with government as
sessments. 1t must stimulate produc-
ton. Labor must come down from
its pinnacle of power and meet wage
reductions. Freight rates must be
lowered. Steel and building products
must stand another slice.
