alities, or to train children up into
the sort of men and women who
will be adequate for whatever the
next so years demands. The modest
mother who is engrossed in MAIN
tanning an ideal home, and in rear

than her sister who is vocal on pub

We do well to note carefully the
significant fact that Jesus. who ever
bore on his heart the vastest con-
Germs, paid great and constant at
tention to the qualities which make
up the good life. He never fell into
the common pitfall of philosophers,
which is indulgence in generalities.
His teachings we're meant to be
practiced II was always the life OF
individuals that engrossed Him. He
saw straight into the heart of life's
problems, which is what sort of per-
sons make up the world. And His
words are as applicable today as
when they fell hot from His gentle
lips upon the crowds which
surrounded Him.
This Teacher had the supreme
art of being interesting. Dull teach
ers and preachers get no sanction
from His example. Oftenest using
the story form of presentation, Je-
sus also gave His direct address the
wings of vivid figures. This we see
in the three admonitions which
make up the present lesson: His
teachings upon personal influence,
upon forgiveness and upon graft
tude.
Hot Words for Debauchers.
AS If He were speaking from
amidst the conditions of our own
day, Jesus thundered forth con-
demnation of the debauchers of
youth. We can picture Him as
standing before display of modern
magazines. designed to allure child
minds by their filth and falsehoods,
and crying, with accusing finger
pointed at publisher and seller. 1T

Mayor La Guardia of New York,
and many like minded good cit
iZens, are at present engaged in a

the militant Mayor has not matched
the Master in the severity of the
punishment proposed. He prescribes
jail for offenders, Jesus suggests the
bottom of the sea, with milestone
around the criminals neck.
In other words, we cannot be too
severe upon the debauchers OF
youth: the harm they do to souls

is permanent and deep. Until the
law and the League of decency
stepped in they made the motion
pictures a vehicle of corruption
Their favorite channel is the printed
word, pulp magazines and volumes
bound for library tables. Many popu-
lar books have to be fumigated and
dry-cleaned before they are per-
mitted on the screen.
Every decent citizen should join
hands with Jesus in attacking the
corruptors of youth. 1t may be
proper to suggest that these para
graphs be marked and submitted to
ones local newsdesler. with the re-
mark, so long as you sell this
mind poison you cannot sell any,
thing to me" Let us try to be as
stern as Jesus in dealing with a
basic evil.
Forgive and Forget.
That forgiveness has a primary
place in every life is made clear by
the second portion of our lesson
text. Everybody has need to for
give-and to be forgiven-every day.
The boaster who cries Il never for
give and I never forget" is stupid,
as we'll as sinful. In the heart Of
the Lords Prayer is embedded the
petition for forgiveness, which is
there made contingent upon willing
ness to forgive.
In our lesson Jesus makes clear
that forgiveness is not to be a mat
ter of calculation but to be contin-
ued up to the perfect figure of
seven times. In His colloquy with
Peter, who asked If he had to for
give his brother seven times. Jesus
said, Seven times? I say seventy
times seven"-that is. indefinitely.
What family Quarrels and feuds
would be prevented could men but
see with Christ's eyes the profound
place that forgiveness holds in the
art of living. Was it not for the
forgiveness of sin that Jesus died?
Third of the virtues that mesh
into everyday life, which Jesus
stressed. was gratitude. An incident
evoked the lesson. On His way to
Jerusalem, the Great Physician
healed 10 lepers. Only one came
to express gratitude, and he was a
Samaritan. Where are the nine?"
asked the Master.
That same question is often on
the lips Of every public servant. For
once out of 10 times is rather a
high average for returning thanks
Public speakers. for instance, who
have delighted audiences of hun
dreds, rarely get written word OF
appreciation or thanks, from either
hearers or from the committee
which was so fulsome in seeking
their services. I have known more
than one able speaker who has quit
making addresses for this very rea-
son. Three times, in my work as a
foreign correspondent. 1 have Sc
cured the freedom of groups of po-
litical prisoners in Oriental lands:
and only once have / received any
sort of acknowledgment.
EVERY udy every OIlc Ol US Is Tic
recipient of attentions that merit
Thank YOU" seldom given. Even
the once-required bread and but
ter" letters from guests have passed
out of fashion What Paul called the
grace of gratitude is an indispen-
sable quality in Christian character.
Yet how often our prayers. full Of
petitions, are devoid of gratitude to
God.
