spirit of Christian tolerance and
truth eliminates old hatreds, fears
and unforgivingness.
One sure result of a real revival
of religion in a small community is
the end of old grudges and enmities,
bred by isolation and pettiness.
Every thoughtful person has OBJ
served the remarkable fact that the
one virtue of forgiveness alone is
thrust into the midst of the Lords
Prayer. There is no mention OF
truthfulness, loyalty, purity, pa
tience, kindliness or other Christian
traits. Only forgiveness is picked
out for this tremendous emphasis.
Still more, the very forgiveness
which all of us expect from God is
made contingent upon our own for
giveness of others: Forgive us - .
as we forgive" What a dreadful
sentence for a person to utter who
has animosity in his heart! The
clear implication is that unless we
forgive, we may not be forgiven;
and all of us stand in constant need
of the Divine forgiveness, and base
our hopes of salvation thereon.
Evidently there is something in
the virtue of forgivenesS-mercy
agnanimity-which is peculiarly
esteemed by Heaven. 1t roots deep
in the quality of the soul Its alb
sence shrivels up ones spirit and
embitters life; its presence causes
itself and other virtues to burgeon
beautifully. A man cannot live
Christianly unless he lives forgiv-
ingly. Life is too short for the
cherishing of grudges.
Its Me. Lord, It's Me-"
One of the familiar Negro spiritu-
ais has the chorus:
tits me, Lord, it's me!
Standing in the place of prayer"
Even the best of us stands in daily
need of forgiveness-the forgiveness
Of family of friends, of associates,
of God. Our entire Christian faith
rests upon the foundation of the
forgiveness won for us by Christ on
the cross No lesson could be more
personal or more suited to every
ones daily need than this one upon
! forgiveness.
Moreover, it spreads out into the
whole field of human relationship.
How may this war-torn world arrive
at peace except by the road of for
giveness? Only vast and Chris
tian magnanimity will enable the
nations to live again in concord
Because there was no forgiveness in
the Versailles Treaty that document
made certain the coming of the
present war. The writer or speaker
Who spreads hatred for Germans is
doing only disservice to the worlds
tomorrow. Daily our prayer For
give us as we forgive" calls
for the growth and practice of this

A Famous Story Sermon.
One Of the great stories or para
bleS, told by Jesus, had forgiveness
for its theme. It was evoked by
Peters query, who by his very ma
ture was forever getting into hot
water, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I for
give him? Until seven times?"
II say not unto thee, until seven
times, but until seventy times seven"
There are no mathematics in
magnanimity. The Masters word
meant that there could be no limits
to our obligation to forgive. "Sev-
enty times seven" represented an
indefinite number.
To drive home this point Jesus
told this story:
Therefore is the kingdom of
heaven likened unto /. certain king,
who would make reckoning with
his servants. And when ne had
begun to reckon, one was brought
unto him, that owed him ten thou
sand talents. But forasmuch as he
had not wherewith to pay, his lord
commanded him to be sold, and his
wife and children, and all that he
had and payment to be made.
THE servant therefore fell down
and worshiped him, saying. Lord,
have patience with me and I will
pay thee all. And the lord of that
servant, being moved with COM
passion, released him and forgave
him the debt.
But that servant went out, and
found one of his fellow servants.
who owed him a hundred shillings;
and he laid hold on him and took
him by the throat, saying, Pay what
thou owest.
so this fellow servant fell down
and besought him, saying, Have
patience with me, and 1 will pay
thee. And he would not: but went
and cast him into prison, till he
should pay that which was due.
so when his fellow servants saw
what was done, they were exceeding
sorry, and came and told unto their
lord all that was done. Then his
lord called him unto him, and saith
to him. Thou wicked servant, I for
gave thee all that debt, because
thou besoughtest me: Shouldest not
thou also have had mercy on thy
fellow servant, even as I had mercy
on thee? And his lord was wroth,
and delivered him to the tormentors,
till he should pay all that was due
so shall also my heavenly Father
do unto you, if ye forgive not every
one his BROTHER from your hearts" ;"
Two Sums.
This very human picture staggers
us by the relative sums involved
The official owed his overload ten
million dollars, which he was for
given. The servants debt was but
seventeen dollars, for which he was
cast into Jail.
Naturally the inference is that
the first debt in its magnitude rep
resents what we owe to God, which
we cannot pay, and for which we
entreat mercy and forgiveness. The
smaller sum stands for the compar-
atively small obligations for which
we stubbornly refuse to grant for
giveness. The teaching is that of
the Lords Prayer: AS we forgive,
so shall we be forgiven. The ulti-
mate standard is that of Christ,
who amidst the agony of the cross
cried, Father, forgive them!"
