The sob sisters got busy and insisted that the tran­ sients should be provided with a warm supper ini addition to the othei- hospitalities. Wonder of wonders, the number seeking shel­ ter and food increased by leaps and bounds! In a little while this centre was. one of the most popular .resorts in the province.. Now, who “told” about the'extra hospitality of this good town? Does this telling and this extra popularity of this resort throw' a great big illuminating flood of glaring, eye-opening light on this very unemployment situation? Does it make some peope think of the men who was seeking work but praying all the time that he would not find it?******** NO COMMENT IS NEEDED " (Stratford Beacon-Herald) There were two items of nows in one of the Detroit papers, and while widely separated in fact, had something in common. The first .had to do with a young couple who are in trouble. .Truth is they are sunk is debt because three eyars ago they were married, and started on a fairly large scale via the part payment plan. Among the articles listed as being secured in this, way is a grand piano, an expensive radio, three rugs, a chesterfield suite, dining room furni­ ture, refrigerator, etc. 'Some of the furnishings they let go in the hope they could carry the smaller load, but that has failed, and now they seek divorce because they .quarelled over the husband’s inabil­ ity to make things go. The wife wants to. go back to her own home and the .husband says he will shuffle for himself. The other story told about the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Gibson of Bedford, and in recounting some of the experiences of their early years together, Mrs. Gibson recalled that her husband was operating a cheese factory when they were married, and he fit­ ted up living quarters know,” she remarked, ment is needed. in one .section of the building, "that we "And do you were very .happy there.” No com- ♦* * * A BIT * ♦ * * SORRY About a year ago when everything apparently was going so swim­ mingly with our American cousins, a treaty of some sort or other was concluded with Russia that seemed likely to bring untold ’com­ mercial advantage to the United States. Of course the Americans were to advance a good deal of cash to the Russians. It turns out that a good deal of the cash had been advanced. This done, the Russians were satisfied that the treaty, or whatever it was, had worked out satisfactorily as far as Russia was concerned and con­ cluded that that was the end of the whole thing. When Russia had! served her own ends why should she be bothered with such a detail as living up to her promises or her obligations? Hence her word to Uncle Sam "Go jump into the Mississippi!” Poor old Britain was regarded as slow when the U. S. made this treaty. Uncte Sam was regarded as enterprising and. forgiving as well as a great many other fine things. Meanwhile Britain kept on sawing wood at her own pile. Just now she is piling up what she has sawed, taking an occasional sly glance at Uncle Sam as he meditates on how Russia beat him out of his eye teeth in the fam­ ous "boss” trade. What the American money lenders are calling the Russians simply is not nice and w:e refuse to print it. Then, we recall Russia’s gracious offer to the Canadian beaver, an offer made about the same time that the Russian bear was smiling so sweetly at the American eagle, The sagacious beaver was busy about his own business and refused to play the game of heads I win, tails you lose, with Russia or with anybody else. Russia got rid of vital religios. As religion left by her door, public opinion flew out through her window. Will Germany please talkie notice? The rest of the world .have something to do in this regard.******** DAY OF RECKONING TO COME We have become accustomed to blame most of our troubles to­ day to the depression. But Sir Henry Drayton was not talking about the depression or the effects of the depression when he told that splendid St. Thomas Chamber of Conimrce gathering on Wed­ nesday that the well-nigh unbearable load on the backs of the Canadian ratepayer was slue to the fact that we are over-governed— greatly over-overned. The business slump may have aggravated the situation to some extent, undoubtedly did. We were living far beyond our means, however, long before the slump. We had the overlapping governmental functions that .Sir Henry spofee about. We .had the multiplicity of governing bodies and the same unceas­ ing demand for the extension of governmental services and for ex­ penditures on public works of doubtful value. The lessons of the slump have been brought (home to the individual, but not to govers- ments and the national debt keeps piling up, .Our governments— national, provincial and municipal—are spending $134 for every $100 of income they receive and today our bonded indebtedness—to use Sir Henry figures—stands at $600 for each, man, woman and child in the Dominion. It’s a serious situation. With all parties and all governments equally to blame it may require a complete political realignment to Combat the interests that show a lack of desire to meet the issue. There must, sooner or later, be a drastic revision of out whole finan­ cial structure. Sir Henry’s talk, delivered so far at neatly i3<0 meetings through­ out Canada, is stirring up public opinion to a point where It is bound to have a good effect.—St, Thomas Times-Journal Municipalities, Individuals and churches simply will not take warning, though they admit that the law of cause and, effect is. still operative. SALADA' OutstandingQuality " “ Sunday School Lesson JESUS TEACUES FORGIVENESS Sunday, 15-3'5. April 15—Matthew 18: Golden Text us our debts,Forgive give our debtors. (Matt. as we for- 6:12.) stand outThree great teachings in this brief lesson. Discipline in the Christian Church The Church as the mouthpiece of Christ. Why men should) forgive one another. Discipline has almost disappeared out of the Christian Church ‘and weakness and confusion have result­ ed where strength and orderliness should be. Christians may shrink from the idea of enforcing discipline against fellow-Christians ifor moral failures of any sort, but it is com­ manded by the Head of the church the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. And there is certain loss in departing from any of His commands. Thus He tells the disciples that if a "brother,” or fellow believer, fellow Christian, trespasses in any way against one of them, there are three steps to take. The first thing to do is to go to the offender alone, talk the matter over with him quietly; "tell him his fault,” and earnestly try to lead him to recognize it and cease from it. If he listens and agrees, "thou hast gained thy brother.” If this first step fails, then the one who has been wr.onged should take one or two fellow Christians and go to the offender, and seek to ■sVin him to- the right course, "that in the mouth of two or three wit­ nesses every word ed” If this second the matter should cal church or assembly of believers that they may make it a matter of church “ discipline and prayerfully reason with the one who has done the wrong. If all three steps fail, then the offender is to be cut off from the ,chu.r!ch fellowship, counted a(s a heathen man and a publican” That wise and consecrated old commen­ tator, Matthew Henry, notes that the be un- has his may be establish.- move fails, then be told to the lo- church’s honor, the its purity and reformation done wrong. as a such who him the of” the "Count admon- brother.” dealing with a fellow had sinned grievously back, in repentance, unrepentent "brother” is. to thought of or dealt with as an shaved man, but as one who forfeited the fellowship of Christian brethren until he repents and does the right thing. Matthew Henry comments: “Christ lias ap­ pointed this method fox’ the vindi­ cating of the preserving of conviction and one who has him not as an enemy, but ish him church, member brought as we iread in Paul’s. Epistles to the Corinthians. 'The Lord pledges Himself to con­ firm any action taken by His church in matters of this sort when believ­ ers take Him at His word and act in accordance with His will—'both in dealing with men for wrong they •have done, and in restoring men who confess and repent. Then fol­ lows a prayer-promise that has blessed countless numbers through the centuries since the day when the Lord first uttered it: "Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they isliall ask, it shall be done fox* them of My Fatlx- which is in heaven.” The "church” is simply a meet­ ing together of any number of be­ lievers, no matter how few. And the Lord is always there. "Fox’ where two Oi' three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” Peter had a question to ask. How many times should he forgive a Christian brother for sinning again­ st him? "Till seven, times?” sug­ gested Peter. The Lord had to shock Petex’ out ot his ’Complacency here as on a number of other occasions. "I say not unto thee until seven times: but Fresh from the Gardens until seventy times seven.” The [ Lord answered. And he gave the reason by a parable. A man was brought before a King who owed the king 10,000 talents which is the equivalent of some $10',00'0,000 ox- more, according to various ways of reckoning the tal­ ent. The debtoi’ could not pay this ’ enormous debt and by law he and his wife and children were to be sold into slavery and all he had was to be confiscated. But he pleaded with the king to giye him time, and promised to pay all. The king was moved with com­ passion, set the man free, "and for­ gave .him the debt.” Aftei- this .experience the same man found that one of his fellow­ servants owed him "an hundred pence” or about $15. He demanded payment. The debtor pleaded for time and promised to pay all. The creditoi' would not listen to him but “cast him into prison pay the debt.” Word of this was king, who sent for creditor and reminded him of what had been done for him, then asked: "Shouldest not thou also have .had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on tnee?” As a needed lesson, the king cast that cruel and .heartless into prison until his enormous should be paid. The parable concluded: "So wise shall My heavenly Father do al­ so unto you, if ye from youi- hearts forgive not every one his brother their trepasses.” God has forgiven us oui' sins, al­ though the wages of sin being death we deserve not only the first death, but the second death. Christ paid the debt for us by His own death. Our sin against God has been greater than any sin that any one could ever commit against us. If we accept God’s forgiveness, and then decline to forgive a fellow-man, we are in the despisable attitude or the .heart­ less man in the parable. That is why we should forgive others, not merely seven times, but seventy times seven—that is, there should be no end to our forgiveness there is. no end to God’s.
