NEW YORK. August 81. 1776.-New

was another favorable factor in the
situation, namely, that his ma jesty

have suffered terrible wrong
which | cannot forgive. Yet ] am
aware that my unforgiving temper
hurts me almost more than II does
the offender. And / believe that l
must forgive if | am 10 be forgiven,
What am to do?
Answer-Your letter states that the
man in question admits his wrong
doing and Graves your pardon. You
also avow your belief that one must
forgive in order to be forgiven, ana
that your unwillingness TO do so dis
tresses you. Surely under these con
ditions forgiveness is your duty.
1t does not mean, however, that you
have to extenuate the offenders bad
conduct or feel the esteem you once
had for him. TO assert these moral
impossibilities of forgiveness makes 1t
unreal and futile.
1t does mean that you give him an
other chance to play the man and
freedom to act as though his betrayal
had not been. Such course places
the burden Of the situation upon him,
since in the future he must prove him
self worthy of your trust.
For your own sake as we'll as ms
square the matter on these lines. 1T
would be strange not to forgive" said
q brilliant Russian novelist as he lay
on his deathbed. His utterance shows
that men may live like fools and
spend their strength In hate and hard
ness of heart. But they seldom die in
that condition. because at the end
they need the tranquility of soul
which is foreign to the unforgiving.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.
Surveys in churches in Boston, New
York. Rochester. Philadelphia and
Washington indicate that college
graduates do less religious work pro-
portionately than nongraduates. Why.
then, should the churches endow col
leges?
Answer-The typical college student
develops SO many secondary interests
that he has little time left for definite
religious work while in college. The
habits Of worship and spiritual culture
neglected there are not easily resumed
after graduation. and some students
show on re-entering society that they
have dropped q stitch Of two in their
ethical knitting.
In these respects they resemble the
rest of us. Nevertheless we naturally
expect that the advantages they have
enjoyed should develop in them a
sense Of responsibility for social and
religious service.

COME people have an idea that
Opaint. as an interior wall decora-
ton, has but recently come into
vogue. A visit to the American
Wing of the Metropolitan Museum
of Arts, In New York, proves the
contrary. Painted walls apparently
were much in vogue in great-grand-
mothers day.
For the early American bedroom,
In particular, paint offers the best
background. A light, plain wall
paint throws into relief the framed
silhouettes and quaint, old prints
which belong to that period;
whereas, against a darker back
ground, they would lose their eff
feet.
It is fascinating to make over an
ordinary bedroom into the fashion
of the early American period. The
room must first be robbed of every
modern feature, and a new start
made. First, the walls may be
painted light buff, and the wood
work white. On the floor, black
paint will be exceedingly effective
with this light setting; and to add
to the durability of this floor, a
coat OF varnish should be applied

THE dweller in country or sub

doors, will want it to be in har-
mony with the beauty and freshness
of nature at this season. So he
will brighten up with paint such
outside surfaces as garden furni-
ture, fences, clothes-posts, porch
floors and steps, etc.
This paint-armor is necessary to
preserve such things, as we'll as to
improve their appearance. With
out it, the exposed wood will decay,
and give an air of shabbiness to
the whole place.
White paint is most attractive for
these garden structures, and white
