The most curious thing in the world ,
IS the faith sinners have III forgiveness. |
They believe that all they have to 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
ag inst them.
There could be nothing less true than
this. There is no forgiveness i'll this
sense in which they imagine it. When
we say that we forgive people who have
wronged us we merely mean that we
cherish no animosity for the evil they
have done us, and will take no ven
geance upon them.
But as for 'forgiving and forgetting,
as the old phrase goes, those stultify
themselves who ask for such 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 viii live in our memory as long as
consciousness is with us.
They are not tobe blotted out by a
| few words of repentance, or an easily
shed tear or two. They cannot even
/ be atoned for. because they slayed
something beautiful within our hearts
/ that never comes to life again. When
you can take the shattered leaves of 3
rose and make 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 if, not before.
/ xxsntflI fal-n "A fr MO a F
| to work that miracle. TIE balance of us
capable of it. We say we forgive those
who trcspass against us, and we mean
/ that we cherish no enmity against them,
that we even pity them as poor weak
lings, and crooks who do rot have il in
them to go straight, or to keep the faith.
We may even go along bearing the same
outward relationship to those who have
wrohged us, because sometimes we can
best save bad situation that way, or
for business, or family reasons.
And if we are big enough, after having
condoned the offense. 10 cover it 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-time place in our
affection.
Men have been particularly active in
spreading this propaganda about for
! giveness so far as women are concerned.
For ages they have been engaged in ex-
plotting the beauty of woman's forgive
ness, and cultivating belief in its in
exhaustible quantity. Innumerable
stories have been written in which the
lovely heroine waited to welcome back
TO her arms the husband who had beaten
her, and deserted her, and left her to
starve, while he philandered off with
another lady, but who returned to her
TO have her support him and nurse him
in his old age

dow of the palace where lived the
Princess and heard all about the won
derful wedding.
The witch woman was not old as
l have told you and she did not need
to change her form: but what she
did need to do was to get. the real
Princess out of the way and take her
place before the night of the wedding
She lived in cave in a big white
rock. did this witch woman, and not
in deep green forest, but in a grove
Of silvery looking trees, which are
hidden by the tall green trees around
them.
1t was beautiful spot, but it wasn't
palace, and that was what the witch
woman wanted--a palace and a Prince
and to be a real Princess herself.
One night while she was flying
off the real Princess the moonlight
was shining right into the window
where the Princess was asleep and
down this moonbeam path few the
witch woman and alighted on the win
dow. still taking care TO hide her broom
stick so the Princess could not see il
when she opened her eyes.
The witch woman took off her cap
and, turning, her face SO it would look
as the face of the beautiful moor
lady looks, she pulled her long silver
bright hair back from her face and
arranged it just as the moon lady
wears hers and then she waited.
Pretty soon the beautiful Princess
opened her eyes. oh. tle Moon Lady,
she exclaimed; pretty lady, I have
always wanted to see the other sid

cess jumping out of bed and running
TO the open window.
ITO do that, my Princess" said tn,
witch woman, you must get on th'
other side of my face"
But can you not turn your pretty
head?" asked the Princess.
| NO" replied the witch woman
my head cannot be turned; if you wisi
to see my face on the other side yol
must get on the other side and look"
Although she was a Princess an,
was used TO having people obey he
and her every wish granted as soor
as il was spoken, she knew that the
Moon Lady was different from the
earth folk-for, of course, she thought
1t was the Moon Lady and she knew
nothing about the witch woman.

If she went by the door to the garden
she would awaken the servants and

in practically all man-made literature
woman is represented as really enjoying
working her forgiven over time, and
actually preferring husband who is
forever on the repentance seat to o
decent man who behaves himself.
l have often wondered if men really
have this child-like faith in woman's
power to forgive, and if they thought,
because their wives do not rush of to
the divorce court, that their offense is
blotted out, and they have their old place
in the women's hearts. A woman may
technically forgive her husband for his
faithlessness to her. She may pocket the
insult he has offered her and swallow
her pride for the sake of her children, or
because she doesn't want to break up
her home, or forfeit her social position.
She may go along camouflaging content
so well that she even deceives the man
himself, but she herself knows what a
mockery her forgiveness is. She knows
the bitterness OF her soul. She knows
that the glory and the circling wings
have gone fIom her love, and that never
more can she look up to, or respect, OF
trust the man who has once betrayed
her
One Of the reasons that high-tem-
pered people make 50 little effort to con-
| troll themselves is because they also be-
lieve in this CHEEKY theory that they cen
enjoy themselves by indulging in theiI
RACES, and then make il all right, and
bring matters back TO their former
status, by saying shat they are sorry fol
what they said.
It's a nice, comfortable theory, be
cause apologies are cheap, and it mus
ne an exhilqrating experience to tel
people just what you think of them wher
they annoy you.
The only difficulty with the theory il
that those who depend upon being for
given lean upon broken reed. Nobody
ever really forgiyes the hurt to his vanity
or the fatal homo truth that a friend, ol
near-relatiye hurls at them in the heat o
anger
II is those who live closest to us who
know our weak spots best, and where

that we thought hidden; when they re

band will say hard aud cutting things
to his wife, and the wife will retaliate
with cruel, little accusations against him
and the children will vie with each other
in brutal candor. Nothing happens AT
the time. A blanket forgiveness is sup
posed to obliterate the whole incident,
but as the man goes about his business,
