FORGIVENESS
By "PEG"
/Recently the following story came
over the air: an Biblioal bimee a
youth was induced to be a pay hi
helping to 'steal some Choice bunebee
or grapes from a vineyard owner.
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.

was concerned he was forgiven before
she began the search for •him atanll.

from the story, it was the lad's major

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.
At one time :Mrs. Roosevelt, who
was at that time the first lady of
the United States, tame in for con-
siderable criticism in standing tip for
Marion Anderson, the noted negro
singer; but ittrs. Roosevele went on
with her stand in epite of it all, al-
thongh she resigned from the posi-
tion which she held in dhe society
which would not back het( in the at-
titude which she had taken. Would
we stand up in like manner foil some
one who belonged to another race? It
would be very hard on trimly of us
to do so. We 'should ask God's for-
giveness for marry 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.
IT:ave we :patience enough with
those who at times speak sharply to

"Father, folgive them"fer they know
not what they do." 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-

many. Christ, who knew no sin, suf-

in ein, so deep that we at times won-

it is! Did you ever watch a little
child who had done something to dis-

sorry, he boy ran into his outstretched

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.
