LESSON VII
JE$U:S TEACHES FORGIVENESS
AND GRATITUDE
Luke 17.
PRINTED TEXT, Luke 17: 1-4,
11-19
GOLDEN TEXT—Re ye kind one
to another, tenderhearted, forgiv-
ing each other, even as God also
in Christ forgave you. Ephesians
4:22.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—All the events spoken of
in this chapter occurred between
January and March, A.D. 30.
Place.—The teaching and the
prophetic utterances of Christ in
this chapter were given in Peraea;
the miracle of the healing of the
ten lepers occurred near the bor-
der of Samaria.
The first two verses of the les-
son might be found easily the most
practical of the entire chapter. In
them we are taught a lesson we
all need to have continually em-
phasized in our own hearts and
lives—namely, the terrible con-
demnation which God will mete out
to those who cause the followers
of Christ, the children of God, to
stumble, to fall into siu,
Offending the Little Ones
Luke 17: 1. "And he said unto
his disciples, It is impossible but
that occasions of stumrbling should
come; but woe unto him, through
whom they come; 2. It were well
for him if a millstone were hang-
ed. about his neck, and he were
thrown into the sea, rather than
that he should cause one of these
little ones to stumble" What a
large branch of a tree would prove
to a traveller driving forty miles
an hour down a highway, if thrown
suddenly across his path, is what
an oceasion of stumbling would be
to anyone in the moral realm. The
verse implies that we have a dir-
ect influence over other people,
more extensive in some people
than in others but, nevertheless,
defiinte and direct. Furthermore,
we are responsible for the influ-
ence which we exert upon other,
people; the Lord will certainly
hold us responsible when we cause
other people to stumble in walking
the road of life. By the phrase
"these little ones," our Lord re-
fers probably not only to children,
but to the children of God. and es-
pecially to those who have just
begun. their Christian life, or those
who are, as it were, still weak in
their faith.
Forgiveness Seven Times
3, 4. Take heed to yourselves:
if thy brother sin, rebuke him;
and if he repent, forgive him. And
if he sin against thee seven times
in the clay, and seven times turn
again to thee, saying, I repent;
thou shalt forgive him." There are
two specific injunctions in these
two verses: we are to rebuke those
who have mistreated us; if they
repent, we are to forgive them.
By rebuking others, our Lord
means we are to first point out the
fact of the sin itself, and theca, see -
only, we are to reveal tactfully
to this person how deadly the guilt
of that sin is. Forgiveness 11 based
on the man's repentance. If the
aan shall sin seven times, and say
he repents, we are to forgive him.
Better to secure the sanctity and
beauty of our own character by
being ready to forgive seven times,
even though the man is not sin-
cere, thou by refusing forgiveness
to a truly repentant soul, be in
danger of becoming a stumbling
block in his way.
Miracle of Healing
11. "And it came to pass, as they
were on the way to Jerusalem, that
he was passing along the border
of Samaria and Galilee.
12. And as he entered into a
certain village, there met him ten
men that were lepers, who stood
afar off: 13. and they lifted up
their voices, saying, Jesus, Master,
(have mercy on us. 14. And when
he saw them, he said unto them,
Go and show yourselves unto the
priests. And it came to pass, as
they went, they were cleansed."
What we are particularly inter-
g,sted in in this passage is the
strange command of Christ to these
Lepers: that they should go and
show themselves unto the priests.
In the first place there is here, a
keen trial of faith. With no signs
of restoration as yet upon them,
they were bidden to do that which
implied they were perfectly re•
r tored, he their prompt obedience,
they declared plainly that some
weak be.'ginbings of faith were
working in them,
Where Are The Others?

Saw that lie was healed, turned

ofBritain From Invasion
RingSteel Guards Vk a. �, •.'.a } °``x. ; <,
Expert oe inicn is practically unanimous that an invasion of Britain
will be attempted this spring or summer. The same experts concede
that it will be a costly undertaking, for Britain is prepared now as she
never was before. Around her shores are powerful guns, tank traps
and other devices that are designed to make it uncomfortable for . tres-
passers. Not the least important in the steel ring of defences are the
batteries of mobile howitzers held in readiness at various strategic
points whence they can be r.ished to any part of the defence lines that
need strengthening. ABOVE you see some of these stubby, but power-
ful guns in transit and in firing position. At TOP, a howitzer mounted
on its mobile carriage being taken over a snowy road. CENTRE, un-
loading the gun at its position. BOTTOM, a battery all ready to shower
out the "welcoming confetti."
They may have felt their Bene-
factor was no longer necessary to
them now that the pressure of ur-
gent want was past.
19. "And he said unto him, Arise,
and go thy way: thy faith hath
made thee whole." The nine, too,
were healed—but their faith pro-
duced nothing more. This man's
trust remained, brought the fruit
of gratitude and was on the way
to still more, This man was on the
way to full salvation.
Public Health
Nurses Scarce
Victorian Order In Canada
Needs More Graduates For
This Service
A two-month course each year in
public health nursing, for graduate
nurses interested in the work, is
heaping to meet a "scarcity" of
public health nurses, Miss Maude
Hall, acting chief superintendent or
the Victorian Order of Nurses
says.
Mis Hall, speaking at a meeting
of the executive council of the Or-
der, said the course is given at
Toronto and 'Montreal. The course
'was given in 1940 and another
group is expected to enrol this
year.
Graduates are employed by the
Order, on the understanding that
they take a further advanced pub•
lie health nursing course at a
university within two years. At the
completion of this course, the nur-
ses continue their work with the
Victorian Order.
Onion Brings $12.42
At Wartime Auction
An onion auctioned at a foot-
ball match brought $12.42 for
the Sheffield, England, War
Fund.
Onions, very scarce over there
now, have a controlled price of
about 10 cents a pound.

Our Blind Spot
Et eryone is partially blind.
That is to say, there is a small
"blind spot" in every human eye.
You can test it for yourself by
making two black spots on a
sheet •of paper, about eyes -width
apart. Hold the paper at arm's
length, close one eye and stare
fixedly at one spot. You will be
able to see both of ;hem. Now
slowly move the paper nearer to
your face, still staring at one
spot. At a certain point the
other spot will completely vanish
from sight. The brain is slow
to "wipe off" an image which the
eye has recorded. If you stare at
a bright red spot for a while, then
glance up at the ceiling, you will
see the same spot apparently
floating in the air, but it will
appear green instead. When you
go to the cinema, you do not see
actual "moving" pictures, but a
rapid succession of still pictures,
each slightly different froni the
previous one., There is a mo-
mentary black -out between each,
but the brain is not quick en-
ough to observe it, and this "re-
tention of vision" produces the
illusion of movement.

lane favorites. Once again, Jack
Benny has been chosen favorite
air Comic for the eighth consecu-

the Benny program, with Fred
Waring's show listed as the best
fifteen minute program. The fall
of the nighty is exhibited in
Charlie McCarthy's drop from
near the top to ninth place.

rated near the top were Informa-
tion Please, Bob Hope, the Bing
Crosby Hour, Fibber McGee and
Molly, the Philharmonic Orches-
tra , and the Monday Radio
Theatre.
Advice Given
About Flowers
Should Improve On Our Own
Native Varieties Which Are
Used to American Climate
Many of Canada's most beautiful
flowers and plants were native
American wild flowers which wore
bred and beautified by Europeans,
"something of which we should be
ashamed," Henry Teuscher, direc-
tor of technical services at the
Montreal Botanical Gardens, de -
Glared last week in a lecture given
in co-operation with the Carnegie.
Corporation of New York,
"Not only should we ourselves
be able to recognize the beauty nt
our American wild flowers before
a European plant breeder improves
them and Sells them back to .us,
but we would get much. bettor re•
sults with improved varieties
which were bred here in America
and were adapted to our climatic
conditions," he said,
