FORGIVENESS
By "PEG"
/Recently the following, story came
over the lair: :In Ilibiioal times a
youth was induced to be a pay in
helpingrto steal sone dhoiee,bunches
of grapes .from a vineyard owner.
The thought of his soother kept him
from actually taking. what did not
belong '•to him; but when the owner
came out the boy who had instigated
the plan (as is nearly 'always the
rule) escaped unknown and the lad
who did not want to steel was caught,
and in the scuffle which ensued the
Man was `hurt. Feeling that probably
he had killed him, the boy ran back
to his pal, who after learning that
his own identity was unknown, advis-
ed
dviceed ism to go at once to the caravan
trail, than conneot himself with one
of the litany merchantmen who were
going to Alexandria with their goods.
At that place he in all probability
w ould be able to make •a great deal
of money and in later years return
to his mother a rich man. All would
then be forgiven if not forgotten.
This the .boy attempted to do, but in
the meantime the mother here spoken
of was nearly frantic hunting for her
boy. In, some way she had got the
word that he had left for the cara-
van trail. In spite of the pleadings
of another son she set out. Her son,
finding she was d'ete'rmined to go,
went with her, but many times on
the journey we find him urging her
to return, but her constant cry was
that he would get into further
trouble, he was her son, she loved
-him and must go on to save him.
The man with whom the boy had
travelled to Alexandria secured •' em-
ployment for him with a friend of
his, revealing'. the secret of the boy's
past which had been told to him in
confidence. The boy too coon learned
that his, new position was to steal'
coin purses from the merchants.
When he refused to do so he was told:
that the would be handed over to the
law if die did not. Time went on and
the dray came when he was to go to
the market to carry out the evil
purpose 'which the thought of• his
mother still kept him back from
wanting •to do. He untied: the string
of the coin purse of a merchant, but'
his courage failed him and he ran
with the words "'stopthat thief"
Tinging 111,111S ears. When he reached
the home of his master and reported
what had 'happened, ,perhaps no words
could deeebbe the scene. In the midst
of it a knock came at the door. The
master, thinking it was the arm of
the law, answered the call: There
stood the mother and brother of the
lad. The master declared her son was
not there. Finally, still in spite of
the brother's pleadings for :them to go
op, she began calling .her lost boy's
name. The result was they were re-
united, the bah was told he had not
seriously injured the vineye d grow-
er, the brother offered to be medi-
ator between him and the boy. and
they set off on the lou;g journey home,
all forgiven. As far as the mother
was concerned he was forgiven before
ehe began the search for him at'•ail.

as far as earthly, life is concerned,

it portrays the undying love of a i
mother, a love which mill forgive
offences which are almost past . all
endurance. As far as we can 'learn
from the story, it was the lad's major
offence. There is in that no compari-
eon to whoa our daily offences mean
to our Heavenly Father.
We should all be little children in
qui attitude toward our Savi'oar. A
mother once said to her litte daugh-
ter, "Jane' why havo you netbeen
playing with Ruth this afternoon?",
"Well, mommie," said the child, "He-
len told me that her people were very
pear, to ll told her she had abetter go
home that she was not fit for me
to play ' with." The mother was so
stunned and hurt that her little
daughter would so speak to anyone
that .she felt she needed to pray to
the God of All Forgiveness for advice
on how to deal with the matter. That
evening before Jane said her prayers
bee mother took her on her knee,. as
was. her custom, and in simple words
told her the story of how Jesus• had
died for the sins.of all people. ,"Oh,
misname," said Jane, "and I said
suoli a mean thing to 'Ruth." They
talked it over and then beth knelt
down beside the bed and prayed that
God would forgive Jane for being
so un-Ohristlike and that He would
make her worthy of the friendship
of Ruth. The mother said, "Then with
my arvn around any little girl 3 asked
God to make us all children and to
free each one of us from the thought
that we were better than anyone
else."
There are many of -us who need
to ask forgiveness for that very
thing. At friend who has done a great
deal of work in the West was recent-
ly drawing a coanp,arrson between the
social life of the people of the
prairies and those of the eastern
provinces. Somehow money has not
the power there that it has here un-
less there is a genuinely friendly
spirit behind it.
At one time Mrs. Roosevelt, who
was at •that time the first Iady of
the United States, came in for con-
siderable criticism in standing up for
Marion Anderson, the noted negro
singer; but Mrs.. Roosevele went on
with her stand in Spite of it all, al-
though she resigned from the posi-
tion 'which she held in the moiety
which would not back her in the at-
titude which she had taken. Would
we stand, up in like manner for some
one who belonged to another race? It
would be very hard, on many of us
to do. so. We ,should ask God's for-
giveness for many of our actions
toward those who are a different
color to what we are.
There are so many ways in which'
we criticize others for which we nerd
to ask forgiveness.
Ibave we patience enough with
those who et times speak sharply to
us? If we knerw their home life and
the trials 'which they encounter day

MRS. F. McILVE1IN -
F:uueral services were held .at Ball
Brothers Funeral Bonne, High Se.,
Clinton, on Thursday, August 28,
1947, for Angeline .MttBrien, beloved
wife of the late ;Francis M'ollveen, in
her 91st year. ;Rev. C. `C. Anderson
officiated in the absence of Rev. D.
J. Lane. Pallbearers were three
grandsons, G. A., Dr. Charles, and
.Eric Meleveen, her granddaughter's
husband, Bruce Root, Oakville, Knox
Williams, .Clinton, her grandnephew,
Ind Barry Sturdy, Auburn, a cousin.
Interment took place in Clinton cornea
tery.
Mrs. 5bellveen was born on the
Base Line, October 5, 1.856, the daugh-
ter of Hannah and Christopher Jon-
athon McBeien. In 1879 she married
Franeis Moilveen and moved to his
farms also on the Base Line where
they resided until 1904 when they
moved to Victoria St., Clinton, where
Mr. Mellveen passed away in Feb-
ruary, 1009. elm. h'Itsllveen continued
to reside there until about ten years
ago when she went to live with her
sons in Long Branch and Bowman -
after day, it might be that our at-
titude toward them would be alto-
gether different. ret us learn to
overlook these things and ask the
Lord to keep us from replying in
like' manner.
Do we stand to one side and criti-
cise those who have in some way
fallen from the standard we have
set up for them? In all probability
that standard is much higher than
the one which we ever attain our-
selves. If ave shun the fallen let us
get dawn on our knees and. ask God
to forgive no, then set out to help
them, under God's direction to lead
a clean pure life.
There are many, many instances
where we need to be forgiven, God
knows what we do. Our sins were
forgiven on the cross when our Sa-
viour, dying for our sins, cried out,
"Father, forgive thenisfor they know
not what they do." We need to come
to God and confess our sins, other-
wise we 'will lose our communion -with
Him.
No matter what we think we have
suffered from others, it can in no
way compare with what Christ suf-
fered at the hands of his enemies,
and yet He could ask God, His Hea •
venly Father, to forgive his enemies
Inc all their cruelty toward Him.
We feel terribly hurt if someone sayv
something to us which we do not like.
Shame on us! We cetrainly need to
come to God in prayer and acknow-
ledge our sins, for they are indeed
many. Christ, who knew no sin, suf-
fered for us who have sunk deeply
in sin, so deep that we at times won-
der that the forgiveness which Christ
on the oross, so many centuries ago,
&sited on our behalf, can really apply
to us et all, "Father, forgive them
for -they know not what they do."
Forgiveness. What a beautiful word
it is! .Did you ever watch a little
child who had done something to dis-
please his father and was being pen-
ished by being deprived of the cam -
parry of his father. For some mo-
menu, which seemed like hours, his
parent refused to take any notice of
him. Throughout it the little lad's
eyes followed him pathetieally, and
when at last the father turned to-
wards him and asked hitn if he was
sorry, he boy ran into his outstretched
arms and wept his little heart out
OS he tried to explain that he wound
do better. What a joy there is ter all
in. forgiveness!
We can stave that forgiveness of
Jesus Christ if we just believe in
Him and come as a child into hie
presenee. His ,salvation is free.

Increased Feed Grain

0
Production Is Urged
If the gamble in the livestock in-
dustry of Ontario is to be reduced,
farmers of the provinee must sot up
their production of feed grains, W.
R. Reek, president of Ontario Agri-
eutural Cobiege, said.
Speaking at the Canadian National
Exhibiton luncheon for livestock re-
view day, Mr. Reek said there hat
been little change in the acreage
sown in feed grain since 1910 and
as •a result Ontaxie has become more
dependent On the west Inc its sup -
piles of feed.
There are times when woebern grain
in quantity is not available, which
tends to make livestock raising high-
ly sfpecu'letive, ha said.
