The thought of his mother kept ,him from aetazally taking what did not belong to hint 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 steal 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 poi, who ,after learning that his own identity was unknown, advia- ed hien to go at once to the caravan trail, there conneet himeelf with one of the many merehantmen who were going to Alexandria with their goods. At that place he in all probability •would be able to make a great deal of money and in later years return Ito his mother a rich man. AU 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 the had got the word that he had left fee the cara- van trail. In spite of the pleadings of another son the set out. Her son, finding she was determined 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 tronble, he was her son, she loved hisn 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 paet Which had been told to him in confidence. The boy too soon learned that hie new position was to steal coin purses ,from the merchants, When he refused to do so he was told that he would be handed over to the law if he did not. Time went on and the day came when he was to go to the :market to carry mat the evil plumose 'which the thought of his mother still kept him back frown wanting to do. He untied the string of the coin purse of a merchant, bun hie courage foiled him and he ran with the words "'stop that thief" ringing Melds ears. When he reached the home of his master and reported what had happened, perhaps no words could describe 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 ealt There stood the mother and brother of the lad. The master declared her son was not there. Finelly, still in spite of the brother's pleadings for them to go on, he began calling her lost boy's name. The result was they were re- united, the boh was told he had not seriously injured the vineyard grow- er, the brother offered to Inc medi- ator between him and the boy. and they sot off on the long journey horae. all forgiven As far as the mother was concerned he was forgiven before she began the search for •him atanll.

As far as we, can learn from the story, it was the lad's major raeormamemarro• offence. There is in that no compari- son to what our daily offences mean • ARTHUR CALDWELL, ville. to our Heavenly Father. We should all Inc little children in our attitude toward our Seldom.' A mother once said to her lithe daugh- ter, "ane why have, you not been playing with Ruth this afternoon?" "Well, =write," said the child, "He- len told Tile that her people were very poor, so I told her she had better go ileum than 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 ,the needed to pray to the God of All Forgiveness for advice WU how to deal with the matter. That evening before Pane said her prayers her mother took her on her knee,, as was her custom, and in simple words told her the story of how Janis' had died for the cisc of all ,peopla "Oh, tnumanie," said jane, "and I said such a mean thing to Ruth." They talked it over and then both knelt down beside the bed and prayed that God would forgive Jane for being so un-Chrietlike and that He would make her worthy of the friendship of Ruth. The mother said, "Then with my arm around say little girl I adked 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. A friend who has done a great deal of work in the West was recent- ly drawing a toraparlson between the social life -of the people of the prairies end 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.

We need, to come to God and confess our sins, otter - wise we will lose our communion with 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 Ids enemies, and yet He could ask God, His Hem venly Father, to forgive his enemies foe all their cruelty toward Him. We feel terribly hurt if someone says 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 ein, so deep that we at times won- der that the forgiveness which Christ on the oross, so many centuries ago, asked on our behalf, can really apply to us, at all, "Father, forgive them forothey 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 1V313 being pol- ished by being deprived of the COM - pally of his father. For some mo- ments, which seemed like hours, his parent refused to take any notice of him. Throughout it the little lad's eyes followed Min pathetically, ancl when at last the father turned to- wards him and asked him if he was, sorry, he boy ran into his outstretched ATMs and wept his little heart out as he tried to explain that he would do better. 'What a joy theta is for all in forgiveness! We can hive 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 Production Is Urged If the gamble in the livestock in- dustry of Ontario is to Inc reduced, farmers of the province must eet up their production of feed grains, W. R. Reek, president of Ontario Agri- cutural ,College, 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 Ontario has become more dependent on the west, for its eup- Plies of feed. There are times when western grain in quantity is not available, which tends to make liveethek raising high- ly speculative, he said. omeme••••.O.•••••• Clinton. and District Chamber of Commerce A GENERAL MEETING of tke Mentt;ers of Clinton and District Chamber of Commerce aril be held in The COUNCIL CHAMBER Town Hall, Clinton.
