Miele tlee terns eeven in a strictly literal
senee. The teaclang of the rabbis was
never to forgive more than three times.
Peter inereesed tide until be supposed lie
bud retchedthe limit, "Man is natur-
ally vindietive being, and, in cense-
spew, nothing is Snore difficult to Mete
taus forgiveness of injuries." -Clarke.
1t has been suggestea that as Peter was
in impetuous man, he was probably of-
ten criticised, and that now he is endea-
-eoring to have the matter settled as to
how often Ite muat forpive. But he had
not yet entered into tbe trite spirit of
the nesPel of forgiveness.
22. Lrntil seventy times seven -"It is
doubtful whether the original means
four hundred and ninety or seventy-
seven (seventy times. SeYen ,or 'seventy
time and seven,' a& in margin of Bevis --
44 Version). Bat in either case it is a
symbolical -expression for never-entliug
forgiveness. Love is not to be limited by
the multiplieation table."-Sehonf. There
should be no limit to our forgiveness. We
&meld never be, weary of forgiving; the
precept is unbounded,
IL Our duty illustrated and enforced
(ve. 23-37). 23. Kingdom, of heaven lik-
ened -The teachings of Christ with re-
spect toforgiveness are fully illustrated
in the parable which follows. It sthows,
1. The eharacetr of man's relation to
God, 2. The real :meaning on man's part
of a distinct refusal to forgive."-Hom.
Com. King --The king represents God,
Would ina.ke a reckoning (R. V.)-"'lle
picture is drawn from au Oriental court.
The provincial governors, farmers of
taxes, and other high .officiale are sum-
moned before a despotic eovereign to
give an account of their administration."
--Cara. Bin The fundamental moral
principle in God's kingdom is righteous -
nese. The great King of heaven and
earth will, one day, reckon with all of
His subjects, Servants -Those to whom
God has committed great trusts and ep-
portunities.
24. Ten thensand talents -An smor-
moue sum. The amount cannot be reck-
oned definitely. It has been estimated
all the way from nine to twenty millions
of dollars. "This is an expression in-
tended to indicate the infinite debt in-
curred, which would never be dist:berg-
ed."-Lange. 25. Had not to pay -Our
debt to God is so great that we are ut-
terly ineapable of making him any satis-
faction whatever. "Every sin is a debt
contracted with the justice of God, and.
soon bur Master will settle accounts
with us." What an awful tinee it will be
when with multituaes nothing shall be
found but in and insolveney1"-Clarke.
Commended him to be sold -An. allusion
to the Law of Moses. See Reed. xxii. 3;
Lev. nen 39, 47; IL Kings is. 1. "C'red-
itora had power to sell insolvent debtors
in several countries of Europe, as well as
in .Asia, in ancleat tines." -Benson We
thus see by this parable what our sins
deserve. "Captives to sin are captives
to wrath." And payment to be made -
The amount obtained would be wholly
inadequate •to cancel the debt, but as
large a payment was to be made as pos-
sible.
26, Will pay thee all -The debt is ad-
mitted and he comes pleading for mercy.
"The means which a sinner should use
to be saved are , 1. Deep humiliation
of heart. 2. Fervent prayer. 3. Con-
fidence in the, mercer of GO. 4. A firm
purpose to devote his soul and body to
his Maker. -Clarke.
27. Forgive him the debt. -We are
debtors of our heavenly King, who bas
entrusted to use the administration of
what is his, and which we have pur-
loined or misused, incurring an unspeak-
able debt, which we can never discharge,
and of which utter rain would be the
proper sequence. But, if we east our-
selves tit His feet, He, is ready in infin-
ite compassion not only to release us
from punisbment, but to forgive us the
debt.-Edersheim.

28. An hundred pence -About fifteen
or sixteen dollars, About one millionth
part of tbe debt this unmerciful servant
bad owed .the knee. Took. him by the
throat -Thus manifesting a most unkind
and base disposition. The sin is greatly
apgravated when we consider his own
debt and the mercy shown him. "What
are my brother's sins against me com-
pered to my numerless sins against
God?" Pay me that thou ovsest. He was
unwilling even to forgive him a single
dollar. He must pay in full and pay at
once. We must be very careful and not
show this same disposition in our treats
ment of others. 29. Fell down at his feet

and plead for mercy as he himself had
done just before tIne.
30. And he would not-Sueh is man;
harsh and hard against those who are in

and cruel to others. 31. Were very sorry
-"Az) act of thia kind i8 so dishonor-
able to ell true Christians and to the
:spirit of the gospel, that through the
concerts they feel for- the prosperity of
the muse of Christ, they are obliged
to speak against it." 32. Thou wieked
servarit--"tintaercifultiess is great wick-
edness." "To the unmerciful, God wilI
hava no mercy; this ie an eternal pur-
pose of the Lord which can never be
changed," -Clarke. Jesus said "If we
forgive not men their trespasses, neither
will your Father forgive your treeptis-
ties" (Matt. vi. 15). Diseause thou he-
soughtest me (R. V.) -Whori we really
besesteh Christ for forgivenees Ile wifl
answer us and grant our pardon., No
one need despair. We have nothing to
pay and nothing N de -mended. If we
eOrile in humility and faith and in the
spirit of obedience God is alwaye ready
to hear us. But we must urge our nose
(Luke xviiL 1-8; 1 These. v. 17; Matt.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
T. Forgive constantly. "How oft shall
I forgive? Until seventy times seven"
2;1.3' 124rintlXeagetlt!
reeated
ingly, without stint, without limit. Jesus
is em.pliasizisig the perseverance of the
forgiving spirit, in this parable of the
kingdom of heaven. "Perseverance is the
essential grace. It is the backbone of
the Christian. at is to the spiritual ?lie
what the spinal column is to the physi-
cal life.
As a body without a back-
bone would be helpless, so a spiritual life
without perseveranee is only it bundle of
fruitless sentimentalism."
IL Forgive compessionately. "The lord
...moved with -compassion" (v. 27.)
.elitist's whole ministry was a manifes-
tation of compassion for the sinner and
tenderness for the sufferer. Jesus wept
over Jerusalem (Luke stier. 41).; He
wept at the grave of Lazarus (John xi,
35); He wept in the garden (Hen, v. 7).
And to -day He is the same good Samari.
tan of compassion (Luke x 33). To -day,
welcoming the prodigal, He has compas-
sion (Luke xv. 20); seeing the hungry,
allepherdless multitudes, He has compas-
sion (Matt. xv. 20); looking on. the
widow weeping over her dead, He has
compassion (Luke vii. 13); beholding the
blind and the leprous, he has compas-
sion (Matt. en 34; Mark, i. 41.)
III. Forgive completely. "Then the
lord • forgave him" (v. 27), the- in-
stant he confessed. Perhaps as ire the
eaee of the prodigal son (Luke xv. 19-
22), interrupting nine before he had. fin-
ished his confession. How often one
hears the words, "I can forgive, but I
can't forget." Thie is the tvorldling's
way. Chenslang resentment, recalling in-
jury, letting wrong rankle, this is not
forgiving. "Forgave him the debt" (v.
271, "I forgave thee all" (v. 32). The
millions this debtor owe fitly typify the
many sins of carnal man. Think of the
- sins of the heart, covetousness, envy,
jealousy, hate, malice, pride, suspicion,
vindictiveness, deceit, idolatry, hypo-
crisy, resentment, anger, wrath, love of
money, &sire of distinction; sins of the
tongne, murmuring, disputing, scolding,
boasting, striving, teasing, 'f;ackbiting,
slandering, lying, swearing, blaspheming,
cursing, exaggerating; sins of the brain,
etc., encouraging doubt, allowing care,
worry and anxiety, indulging in worldly
plats, building sir castles, admitting
un-
boly reasonings; giving wary to fear;
sine of the senses, drunk -mines% glut-
tony, overeating, passion, laziness', using
tobacco, opium'snuff, or anything
which injures the body; the secret sine
that defile the body, indulging in danc-
ing, theatre going, card playIng, and any
pleasure which harms spirit, soul or
body; sins of omiselon, opportunities
missed, talents burned, hours wasted;
gross sins against others, such as stea.1-
Ing, murder, adultery, of which no saint
thinks 'he has ever been guilty until he
learns that hatred against a brother is
zuurder (I. John iii. 5), und a lustful look
is adultery (Matt. v. 28). Oh, the enor-
mity of the debt: Ilow the weight of it
appalls the honest soul who must ac-
knowledge that it is all true! Where is
the remedy? In God, who forgiveth "all"
our iniquities (Pea. eiii, 3),
_ IV, Forgive cordially. "From your
hearts forgive" (v. 35). This has no con-
dition (Matt. v. 44, 45; vi. 14). So Christ
forgave His crucifiers and Stephen his
persecutors. So God forgives. Forgive-
ness is one thing and expression of for-
givene.ss is another. Forgiveness in the
heart will lead to forgiveness with the
lips. There was always forgiveness in
the heart of the prodigals' father, but
it could not find expression until the
boy repented, returned end confessed..
Archbishop Crantner, because of his love
for truth, was hated by the vile, and a
plot to take his life was once started.
The letters of the conspirators carne into
Cratimer's hands. One of them was
member of Ins household and another he
had greatly served. He called them to
him and told them that they were sus-
peeted of a plot to take Ins life. They
protested their innocence. Pained by
the:r perfidy, (Vollmer showed them
their own letters. Like the man in. the
parable, they fell down and confessed
their guilt and implored forgiveness.
Cramaer expostulated with then), for-
gave them, ana never afterward alluded
to their treachery. it is this man of
whom it came to be said, "Do my lord of
Canternury an ill turn and you snake
hira your friend forever." A. C. 'AL

worst market for the year. Prices were

Relief from drought in many impor-

of bountiful harvests, and the business
of the nation has maintained a voltune
that is exceptionally heavy for the
season. Some evidences of conservatism
regarding production beyond assured de-
mands are noted, but in. meny of the
leading industries eontraets have been
placed for tho entire output during the
balance of the year, while steel mills are
booked well in 1907. One of the best
features of the week was the settleeneut
of coal mining troubles in Ohio, conces-
sions being made by both contesbents
that resulted in resumption of work by
35,000 miners, Tbe only serious struggle
threatened for July 2 was itt the textile
industry, and manufacturers_ granted

of Customers in Brokers' Offices.
Toronto despateh: To save- the repu-
tatious of scores of people who have been
betting withthem it is understood that
the poolroom men arrested in Thursday's
raid will plead guilty when their eases
come before Deputy Poliee Magistrate
Kingsford on Tuesday morning. Some
idea, is had of the extent of the betting
business in Toronto when it is stated
that at the place Where Inspector Greg.wereDry acted at 90 Bay Street ob
registered that day, and that was only
one of the places raided.
The brokers visited on Thursday were
doing business again yesterday morning,
although there was a noticeable falling
all in the number of customers. They
will fight, say the brokers who are ac-
nused of being bucket -shop keepers, the
prosecution, claiming that they do a le-
gitimate business, delivering stocks in
every transaction when asked for.
Nearly all the beokers now recall the
dealings of the man they think was act-
ing as anpotter for the authorities. One
of the dealers declared that this man
bought 1,000 bushels of wheat at 83 and
sold out the same afternoou itt 8294,
dropping $2.50. He signed an order with
tbe heading "instruct your broker to
