THE GIGANTIC PROBLEM OF BRITISH FINANCE Some idea of the collossal finan- cial burden which Great Britstirt has been called upon to bear for the past six years may be had from The recent vote in the British House of Commons refusing to limit the Government to an expen- diture for the year of £300,000,000 ($4,000,000,000). When before the war the Lloyd George Budget pro- posed to spend a few lnillibn dol- lars in social betterment, , the meas. ure was bitterly criticized • and opposed. At that time an annual expenditure of less than half of this amount --would • Have been strongly opposed. So great have been the changes incident to the war, that staggering sums are now voted for public purposes almost without comment. In the column entitled, "British Public Finance,” just issued from the press, some amazing figures are given in regard to the finan- cial expenditures of the British people during the period of the war. During the six fiscal years be- ginning March 31, 1914, and end- ing March 31, 1920, the expendi- ture of th4 government actually exceeded the total outlay for the period, extending from 1688 to 1.914. For the 226 years the sum of $54,720,000,000 was expended, and for the six years $56,340,000,- 000. The British people paid into the treasury by taxes and revenue collection 36 . per cent. of this vast total. The other 64 per cent, was borrowed. The money borrowed by Great Britain reached the maximum total Of $36,•940,000,000, of which $30,- 055,000,000 was furnished my her own people, $5,135,000,000 b or - rowed from the United States and $1,650,000,000 Ilr'onl other na- tions, including the Dominions, On 'the other head, Britain had loaned !o the Dominions $930,000,000 and to her Alfies $3,330,000,000, so that the amount loaned abroad ex- ceeded the sun borrowed by $'2r 475,0001,000. This we find that tke 46,000,000 people of the Brit- ish Isles raised etltirely from their ewe resources $49,555,00.O,Ooo over $1'075 per head, whereas )Canada rais- ed $263.00 per head for the war loans. For the active war periost cover- ing the five fiscal years ending March 31, 1919, front 2.2 y2 per cent. to 343 per cent, of the expee- ditare was raiseti From taxation, other revenue collection and other war contributions, In the fiscal year which ended March 31, 1920, taxes and , other revenue produced about 65 per cent. of the aggregate budget of $5,310,000,000, while receipts from war contributions, sales of war property and incomes From trading operations yielded about 16 per cent;, leaving less GENUINE' ASPIRIN L.

P. 8, FITZWATER, p, D., 'reacher of English Bible 10 the Moody Bible institute of Chicago.) (10, 1910, Western Newopai,er Union.). LESSON FOR JANUARY 9 JESUS TEACHES FORGIVENESS. LESSON TEST --Matt, 18:21-36. GOLDEN TEXT—If ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you.—Matt. 0:14. ItioPER.ENCE MATERIAL,—Matt. 6:12- 16; 18:16-20; Luke 17:5, 4; Eph, 4: 31, 32; Col, 3:12-14, PRIMARY TOPIC—Forgiving One An- other, JTINIOR TOPIC—Learning to Forgive, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Forgiving and Forglyen, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Forgiveness: Its Meaning and Scope. In this lesson we linve divine in- structions as to our behavior in case of ill-treatment, ' 1. Peter's Question (v. 21). This question, "How often shall my brother sin against ane and I forgive Mm2" probably was occasioned by the 111 treatment which Peter was then re- ceiving at the hands of his fellow dis- ciples. Christ's confession of Peter brought him into the limelight. The question of the disciples (18:1) "Who Is the greatest in the kingdom 01 hen'v- en?" shows that there was some jeal- ousy of Peter among the disciples a>.d consequent c0niention among them. From the Lord's tenehtng es to the efforts to bring about reronclliation in c'nee of offenses between brothel; and brother 1 -le knew that It w'oni0 require the exercise of the spirit of,forgive- ness. Peter disposed to he gracious In- quli'rs '1111 seven 1;n ' -f" showing his rondiness to fur„Ice ills brother not three tines, bur twice three bates and ,t little ower, II. Jesus' Answer (v. 22). The_Lord'.s :nislcer was au; astonish- ing revelation to Peter. Iia said "Not until seven times, hut 1111111 seventy times seven.” This shows that our willingness to forgive should be limit - fess. III. The Two Creditors (vv, 23-35). TINS parable of the two creditors Il- lustrates Ills principles of forgiveness. L The grncious creditor (vv. 23-"7). The king in this parable represlnts God, and the servant who Is greatly In debt represents 'the sinner—any sin- ner, every sinner, you and me. We were hopelessly in debt to God. Ten thousand talents are equal to some twelve millions of dollars, To meet this obligation would.be an utter Im- poss'i'liility. This man's plea for tune, promising' to flay all, much resembles our vain imaginings tliiit'we can pay our de13t to God, that by our future geed wo"ik5 114call iitoise'fcr'our'gast most grlveolls sins. By the justice of God's 1aw,,we'were hopelessly con- demned; by the'grace of God we were freely pardoned. 2. The cruel creditor (vv. 28-5, ). This man Who was forgiven so mueh• found a man who owed him a small sum—about fifteen or seventeen dol- lars. Ile shut his ears to the man's entreaty to be patient with him, flew at his throat and cruelly put him into jail. The great mercy shown liim •did not touch•his heart, so lie refused to be merciful. Being set free from so great a debt as our sins agglnst God, we should make God's act of unliuiited forgt'erfess toward us the standard of unlimited forgiveness toward others. In dealing with others we should al-' ways keep these considerations before us: (1) We ourselves need it and do every day continue to need the for-' giveness of God. • With nil our imper- fections and positive sins we need the continued mercy of God. When we pray, 'Forgive tis our debts ns we for- give our debtors," lot us be sure'4that We have•put away all thought of sin held against v others. To pray that prayer otherwise Is an abomination. (2) That 'there Is n day of jtickgnient coaling and at that clay we shall be treated as we treat others. No mercy will be shown to those who have not shown mercy, The heart, then, 0f this lesson is that God's gracious act toward us should be the standard of our actions to-' ward others, and that we must exer- cise the same spirit of forgiveness toward Ogr fellowmen If we wow(' continue o enjoy God's forgiveness. The proof that we nee God's children Is that we manifest the spirit of God. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as Your Father which is in heaven Is perfect" (Matt. 5:48). Thank God Every Morning. Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something todo that day which Trust be done whether ybu like it or 00t.

But she invested this phantom world with a semblance of life and often with certain poetry, says W. H. Matlock, in Harper's Magazine. In some ways she was more strik- ing than her books. In her dress she was "an attempted exaggeration of the most exaggerated of her own female characters."

IS YOUR HEART WEAK? ARE YOUR NERVES SHAKY? IF SO USE MILBURN'S HEART sad NERVE PILLS. There are many people, at the presort time, whose heart is affected, whose nerves are unstrung and general health impaired. To such we offer Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills as the best remedy that science has produced for such troubles. These pills have a wonderful effect on the weakened heart and the shattered nervous system, containing as they do the very beat elements for the relief of all heart and nerve troubles, Mrs. C. Farrity, Trossachs, Sask., writes:—"I suffered for over a year with heart and nerve trouble. I had terrible headaches and dizziness, could net sleep and bad no appetite, I was taking doctor's medicine, but it did not help me. I was completely discouraged. Then afriend told me of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. After taking one box I began to feel better, and after seven boxes I felt like a new person.

World's Thinkers Rave Tried to Euplain Fourth Dimension. Among tlse seemingly hopeless quests that have long engaged the attention of scientists and inventors, that of discovering the secret of per- petual motion, is perhaps the best known, says Tit -Bits. . To the average man it Is fairly evident that unless a•maclstne is'pre- vided with energy, or,some sort of force,. it will not work, yet .-there have been from the earliest times men whose sole aim in life has.been do ,invent a machine that,l once it is started, shall . run forever by ,its own momentum. All.;kinds et undoubtedly clever contrivances have been invented, with this object in view, from the °throbs ';'Concertina" machine, in which a ae'rie's ' of conbertina=111ee chamber's attached to a revolving band cdllapse'alid expand in their progress through water, to, the latest effort — a dynamo, which, its inven- tor asserted, would generate,its own power continuously. NN>thing mere having been heard of its last experi- ment, it 1s safe to conclude that It was not a success. Perhaps the nearest approach to perpetual motion ever. achieved by man was the invention of a scientistd named Strutt, ,whose device tlerived its energy from radium emanations. Radium is a wonderful fount of en- ergy, but since'- his commodity is so rare and precioffh, it is hardly likely that it will over be put to practical use in this form. But if perpetual motion is o e of the greatest secrets that, co font. scientists, that of the Fourth meat' s]ona,,is hardly less profound. ' For ages the great thinkers and philoso- phers of the world have been striv- Ing to penetrate this baffling mystery. It is by no means easy to explain the • Fourth Dimensions in terms most readily understood by the lay mind, but it may be . stated briefly thus: The north Dimension 18 -sup- posed to Ne at right -angles to the throe already known, namely, length, breadth and height.

But that law does not solve the„problem. Most of us, of course, have read Jules Ver•ne'e famous story, "From the Earth to the Moon." The yarn is based on the fact that a bed falling to earth from space attains a velocity of about seven miles per second waren passing through our atmosphere; so that if a projectile could be shot off the earth at 'the game—or, of course, a greater—rate, the earth's gravitation, or pulling power, would be overcome, and the projectile would go soaring away into the vast realms of space. A huge fortune awaits the man who Succeeds In achieving this stupendous feat' for such an invention would revolu- tionize human life. If we could neutralize gravitation, airplanes •• would rise to terrine heights while they would require no propulsion at all, and the Adriatic could be crossed in two hours. All thi may seem very 'entertain- ing, but Too ;fantastic to- be taken seriously. Yet, the startling fact has quite lately been revealed that gravi- tation can be neutralized, and in the light of certain experiments now being conducted there is no "doubt that we are on the verge of the most amazing discovery of all time,' "Cloth of Gold." The statement recently circulated about a woman who wore a sable jacket worth'at least two thousand guineas is not so extraordinary as it seems, for good dark single sable skins will almost always fetch from £20 to £40, and a robe of real sable, such as Russian princes used to wear, may easily cost £1,000, says Tit -Bits.
