forgive his enemies? Plutarch tells us
what was written on the monument to
sulla in the Campus Martius at Rome;
"No friend. ever did me SO much good,
or enemy SO much harm, but I repaid
him with interest," It is only stating
an historic fact to declare. as does the
author Of "Ecce Homo" that In the law
Of forgiveness, especially of unlimited
forgiveness, startling shock was given
to the prevailing beliefs and notions Of
mankind. BY this law an ineffaceable
and palpable division has been made
between ancient and modern morality.
To be sure. in that vanished world
Of antiquity differences between friends
were often patched UP. and sometimes
healed, even as among ourselves. But
the point is. when the only relationship
between aggrieved persons was that
one had by some act aroused the re-
sentiment and enmity of another, for
giveneSS was not even thought of as a
virtue. Back there man would have
been asking for his own condemnation
II he turned to whatever gods he wor-
shipped with the prayer, Forgive me
as forgive Others" But Jesus came
with what, In the light of all that pre-
vailed before, Is a prepoSterous COM
nlandment. utterly revolutionary: You
are to do good to those that hate you'll
But. suppose our enemies will have moth
ing to do with us except to plot our ruin,
how are we to express our love? There
is still way, says Jesus: pray for
them which despitefully use you and
persecute you." This is what He in
sists: When your enemies throw at
you words that blast and cut, you are
to pour on them words which soothe
and heal.
And this Man who spake as never
man spake makes it crystal clear that
this treatment Of enemies is not to be
hypocritical, pious gesture, q fair
facade back of which are clenched
fists. The Negro spiritual goes all the

Fluoriduted Wuter

A rather inconspicuous article in The
Star. Of August Is. headed, Annapolis
Water Fluorine Causes No Complaints"
deserves some comment.
It is stated that "a f1uorine compound
has been mixed with the Annapolis city
water for the past month without any
{ public reaction" We are told that it
was not announced before In order
that the reaction. If any, might be OBJ
served. Now one iefsargument Of the
proponents for fiuoridation has been
that it is odorless, colorless and taste
less, and that therefore there, should
logically be no objection to the presence
of fluorine in our drinking water. Then
what sort of reaction" should be ex-
pected from citizens who would have
no way of detecting this foreign ele-
ment in the water? The promoters of
this scheme claim there are absolutely
no i'll effects. yet they would imply that
users of this doctored water should be
able to feel it Immediately.
And what should be thought Of an
agency of the Government which adopts
method Of deliberate deception? If
the Public Health Service would exer-
else little forethought it might con-
clude that this is the very best way to
completely lose the confidence of the
people of this country. It might also
conclude that the use of the taxpayers
money for carrying out this deception.
without their consent, or even knowl-
edge. and generally against their will,
is totally unjustified and inconsistent
with the spirit of a free democracy. But
perhaps they do not care. They have
millions in their Golfers, and although
they do not have legislative authority.
they achieve fairly good substitute
therefor by imposing their formula Of
propaganda upon city councils. alder
men, mayors, etc., who have no way Of
knowing the true facts on both sides
of the question. and who obediently
swallow the dose prescribed. and. like
the small boy who gets the castor oil,
poured down his throat, gets a nice re-
ward in the way of funds" for local
use.

is at hand to indicate that fluorine,

One who exemplified His teaching
about forgiveness even as He hung on

to this the true followers Of the Nag

Across long years there has remained
etched on nemory's walls the forms
of two aging rabbis, as depicted by
John Greenleaf Whittier In one of his
most fascinating poems. Both found
forgiveness. But how?
Rabbi Nathan, after walking through
the evil world blameless for two-score
years and ten, miserably sinned. Stung
by his conscience, he left his seat in
the council Of the elders and in sack
cloth and ashes went barefoot and
fasting. In penitential woe, seeking alb
solution for his grieyous offense. At
last in far land he met another rabbi.
Ben Isaac. who, for the sin Of fleshly
desire, wore as his penance q shirt of
hair.
In a comradeship Of guilt they knelt
at an ancient Moslem altar. praying
for each other, each making his
brothers woe his own. Then came
the miracle Of forgiveness which each
by himself, had sought in vain: "For
heavens gate is shut to him who comes
alone"
Peace. for his friend besouoht, his opn
became.
His prayers ioere Gnswered In 1nother,s
name.
And ,Dhen at last they rose up to
embrace
Each san Gods pardon In his brother

Spires OF the Spirit
As We Forgive

Forgive -. !. as we forgive" Is the
most momentous petition that human
lips can frame. It dares to suggest to
God that He deal with us as we deal
with others. Yet. with all its terrifying
implications, that is the proposal Of
the prayer that comes nearest being
universal. Millions OF the children of
the One God come daily to the Father
of all men with the soil and shame Of
sin upon them, seeking through forgive
ness TO open for themselves the gates
of new life. For it Is only In for
giveness that the flood-doors OF the
divine healing can be opened.
But some typical, so-called modern
blurts out: "Don't include me in this
business Of forgiveness. I'll admit that
there are plenty Of others who have
.blundered and made sad mess Of
things. That is why the world is in
such sorry plight. But I: What have
done that I should be forgiven"
Well, all one can say to that is: aHow
blind! How dumb!''
Psychiatrists will quickly witness how
many potentialities of mental disorders
and even organic disease are often
rooted out by the assurance Of pardon
and renewal. Said a DISTINGUISHED
psychiatriSt: Il always send my
patients to hear DR.. So-and-So preach.
He breaches the forgiveness Of sins"
I'm my opinion" writes DR.. Leslie b.
Weatherhead. whose sermons are read
around the world. "the forgiveness of
God is the most powerful therapeutic
agency in the world" This means that
the boon of forgiveness somehow re-
leases immense tides of energy for soul
and mind and body. Whether or not
the one making the plea for forgive
ness has the assurance of absolution
given makes the difference between
heaven and hell. Yet this limiting pro-
viso is written into the prayer Of pray
ers: I ask Thee. Father, to forgive me
only to the extent that forgive others.
For the unforgiving to offer any sucl,
prayer Is as II one standing before the
bar Of justice should take the judges
seat and condemn himself It is as If
is the, measuring rod of my forgiveness
Of those who have wronged me. now
ask you to use this same measurement
which have used in dealing with me.
This petition, Forgive :. as we for
give others" is belfry where chimes
may ring out with the rapture of re-
demption, or where bells may toll for
the funeral of soul.
Now where did this regal idea about
humans forgiving others come from.
