Lesson III -Jesus Teaching Forgiveness—Matthew 18: 21-35, klolden Text—Forgive us our debts, iis,we also have forgiven our deb- tors.—Matthew 6: 12, ANALYSIS I. PETER'S ESTIMATE OF youciyENESS, v. 21. II, JESUS' ESTIMATE OP 'FORGIVENESS, vs, 22-35. INrRODLCTION—One of the articles in the Apostles' Creed is, "I believe in the forgiveness of sins," and it is from Jesus that we gain most of our knowl- edge concerning this very important subject, John the Baptist described Jesus as "The Lamb of God that tak- eth away. the ,sin of the world"; and in the backgrom,d of the New Testa- ment lies this great fact; that maxihas Sinned against God and d requires to be forgiven. The gospel is the announce- ment of the good news that God freely forgives the sins of those who come in Bqorrow and repentance to him. There is no teacner on forgiveness so orig- inal as Jesus. In this chapter he men- tions the human side, and, says that if we are to receive the forgiveness of Cod, we,must forgive those who have injured us. The lesson is a comment- ary on the words, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive or debtors." L PETER'S ESTIMATE OF •FORGIVENESS, v. 21. V. 21. The subject of offences done to others naturally leads to the prob- lem of offences one to oneself; and Peter wonders what is to be the rule on this matter in the new kingdom. According to the rabbis no one should 1 ask for forgiveness_ more than thrice. Peter doubles this and adds one, and no doubt feels that he has made a very generous estimate. Like most of us, his views of kindness and compas- sion were very limited. II. JESUS' ESTIMATE OF FORGIVENESS, vs. 22-35. V. 22. The statement of Jesus must have overwhelmed Peter with amaze- ment. Seventy times seven means that there is to e no limit to forgiveness, If a friend has injured us and asks to be forgiven, then it is the duty of a Christian to grant his requ..nt, always,. Of, course, on the assumption that he has shown genuine regret and readi- ness to make compensation where possible. For there can be no fellow- ship among those who have been estranged, unless the wrongdoer re- pents, V, 23. The parable that follows is meant to illustrated the gravity of the fault of those who refuse to forgive, he image is drawn from an Oriental court where the king in hie supreme ommand has his servants who carry an his business. The injustice and nruelty of the eastern rule come out in the wrong -doing a. the chief ser- vant: ' V. 24. Two officials are introduced, One in a very responsible position which gave him great opportunity for fraud and falsehood. The amount of his defaulting is fabulously large, in the millions, V. 25. By the law of the land this man, his familj and all his possessions were at the entire disposal of the king, V.17. But the lord is moved with compassion, and forgives hint all. V. 28. Now we are introduced ao the ontrast: for this same servant is wed the small sum o:. twenty-five dol - ars, and though the sante plea is made which he himself had'made, yet there is no pity. V. 34. No wonder the king is angry, the parable is meant to point out (1) hat those wha refuse to forgive Others treed not hope to be forgiven The heart that is hard and resentful Oannot welcome the loving, mercy of Clod. Only those, who are compas blonate can really enjoy the compas- sion of the heavenly Father. But (2) e notice that this forgive ass of the ing is a type of the full �1i ve of the eavenlit Father, who is w}aibing to grant us his. blessing. O Co-operation with. the U.S.A. Montreal Petrie (Ind.) (Mr. King lues announced a treaty with the United States to prevent smuggling on both sides), What would be vastly snore interesting to us would be an hnnouueement that the Government of Canada were negotiating .a commer- alai treaty with our neighbors in ea- .00tdance with their stated program of looking for new markets for export.

Visitors to this Congress included Their' Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince George. The forthcoming Congress to be held in London is July this year will take place under the distinguished patronage of Hie Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen, and IIis Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, ,Inter.national Standardization of Poultry 1pdustry The poultry industry, perhape.more• than any other, is becoming standard- ized in a universal sense through the instrumentality of the World's Poultry Science Association. This organiza- tion will this year bring together at the World's Poultry ,Congress serious- ly mauled men and women from many countries who are concerned with the development' of the poultry industry and incidentally with the promoting of international friendship. The fourth Congress, which takes place at the Crystal Palace in Old London, in July this year, promises to exceed any of the previous ones. At that meeting there will be pooled the best and most recent knowledge con ceening the various aspects of the poultry industry in all parts of the world. Modern poultry research, edu- cation and economics wilt be revealed through papers and discpssions and national exhibits from half a hundred countries.

Does this mean that the country was impoverished to the tune of Rvo billions? ' As a mat- ter of fact the loss did not mean the least decrease in. national wealth, . .

Contrary to Usual Opinion, inion Mose of Boxers are Care- ful and Saving Citizens - The general notion of the profes- sional "pug" in retirement seems to be that he is a Iarge gentleman with a cauliflower ear and lurid taste in liquor, who has rapidly amassed a con- siderable and most undeserved for- tune, and is now in the happy process of dissipating It with, equal celerity. Such, however, is very far from the case, .writes Geoffrey Simpson in the Loudon Daily Mail; it is true that for- tunes are made at tighning speed in the ring, but boxers as a general rule are pretty close cuatomors with their cash. "Primo Caruera, the Italian boxing giant who less than sixteen months ago was a penniless carpenter," writes Mr. Simpson, "has just been paid $30,000 for two fights in the United States, I. "He drew over $10,000 for two con- tests ,with Young Stribling in Europe, and by next April, when he wil have had sir matches in the United States, his ring earnings may amount to $80,- 000. Phil Scott was paid $32,000 for boxing Jack Sharkey, "People who read with amazement of the big suets to be earned lit the ring sometimes wonder what fighters do with their money. The impression prevails that most of them dissipate it. This unfortunately is'ti-do to many cases, 'but for every boxer who does not put by for a rainy day there are at least three who safeguard their fu- ture. "Jack Dempsey, a former laborer and tramp, earned $4,000,000 and has invested most of it is hotels and real estate, 'Gene Tunttey, an ex -clerk in a New York store, retired with $2,000,- 000 and is living on hie Moore. "Jimmy Wilde, a Welsh pit boy, made a fortune la spite of the fact that he weighed only a hundred pounds; he was paid $65,000 for one fight in New York. His money is in- vested itt house property and cinemas, "Joe Beckett earned $125,000, mar- ried a publican's daughter, and Is in abluent cir'cumstaaces; Bombardier Wells, who made approximately $150,- 000, runs a hotel; Frank Goddard, a farmer, used his ring- earnings to re- vert to farming; Tommy Burns, a former lacrosse player, opened a clothing store in Canada and a public !rouse In Newcastle. "Now for the other side of the pic- ture, Jack Johnson made a fortune and lost it, and is now conducting a jazz band for a living, Jack Britton, tomer welterweight champlon of the world, was once one of the richest men in boxing, He lost Itis savings in land investments in Florida, and.,,at the age of forty-one was compelled to return to the ring, "Ted (Kid) Lewle, who had seven- teen fights witit Britton, each time for a -big purse, came back from New York seven years ago worth $100,000. He must have earned $250,000 during his fifteen years' in boxing, yet not so long ago a benefit tournament was Or- ganized by hits friends to help him out of dimoultlee. The late John Driscoll, the greatest of all champions, had little to Show for his skill; Cerpentier is not as rick as s1° ho was, and has had to tura to film and stage work; Jim Jeffries, although ptirses were not luglt in his' day, made suftioient to retire In comfortagle cir- eumstaneeo' as a farmer, but a few years later he was te'Iupted to return to the ring to fight Jack Johnson, "But there are hundreds of boxers in the first class who, having aceuinu- hated considerable bank balance, quiet- ly retire to eujoy middle age," Toronto's "Seven" Not "Wild" Artists Montreal,—"Canadian artists cannot afford to experiment, but must follow well -tried Sues orthey will starve," declared Prof, Ramsay Traquair, in an address on "New Trends in Pictorial and SculptnraI Art," at the People's Forum.

Referring to the "Toronto Group of Seven," Professor Traquair said that although they were "advauced" they were not the ,"wild" men the Cana- dian public considered them to be, for what they wore doing had been done many years before in England, Their weakest point, he felt, lay in the realm of pure technique, while' their best features were their feeling for the Canadian North Country, their sense of design and their imaginative qualities. Professor Traquair expressed the opinion that in the field of painting at the present time the neoclassic school in England was far in advance of any other and he regretted that as yet England had had no influence on mod- ern Canadian painting, What New York Iis Wearing BY ANNEBELLE WORTHINGTON Imperial Legislation Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur - Brisbane' Courier. There is itt exis- rttShed with Every Pattern tence and in full operation legislation passed by the ParIianrent of Britain and applying to the whole Empire, The Merchant Shipping Act is an example. Possibly it may have been felt that it would be more convenient if one Leg- islature egislature passed the necessary uniform legislation to govern British shipping, Now even this last restraint on the self-governing overseas Dominions' power of legislation is too go, and those Dominions are to achieve com- plete legislative independence. If each self-governing Dominion were to legislate just as it liked to regard to shipping great confusion might result, Obviously, this independence will en- tail the need for tite closest co-opera- tion between all Legislatures iu British Dominions, Hours of Industry Montreal Monde Ouvrier (Iud,) (Quebec legislation wilt reduce the working week in industrial establish- ments for women and boys from 60 to 55 hours). Itis true that the majority of the western provinces have adopted the 48-hour week for women, girle and young boys; but we must not for- get that these provinces are agricul- tural and not industrial, and that the. number of women working in indus- trial establishments is relatively few. On the other hand, the Province of Ontario—the closest to Quebec and its most serious competitor in the Indus- trial market—has retained on its statute book the sixty -hour week. Once again our province is in the van of progress. Gabby Gertie "Wheu two people get together on any proposition it's generally shady," .

This rule apples to most flowers and vegetables started indoors such as zinnias, marigolds, asters, pe- _ tunlas and cosmos, among the flowers, and totatoes, cauliflower, cabbage, head Lettuce, of the vegetables. 12 does not apply to those things like corn, melon and sweet peas, planta which ordinarily are not grown inside, • 08 these should be disturbed as little as possible. With the others, hour- lever, transplanting develops a sturdy root -growth, prevents long, -spindly, weak steams and gives the youttg plants a better chance to develop than if left crowded in the original box. The transplanting ehould be done in a dull place and the new bens welt watered after moving is complete. Keep full , sue away for a couple of days. Before moving outside gradual- ly harden off by having - °sheltering window raised for some days before moving. A pinch of fertilizer at this + time will help the plants get quickly established.

The American Tariff Montreal Presse (Ltd.) : (Tho Ameri- can Senate has finally adopted the re- vised Hawley-Smott tariff by 53 votes to 31).

Poultry, both aitve and slaughtered, and eggs are also on the increased tariff list. Our export- ers of clover seed of all kinds, 01 hay and straw, of potatoes and fish will have to face heavier duties. it re• mains to be seen how much they will suffer in consequence. It is not im- possible that the Americans wilt bear a heavier burden.

Vegetables, particu- larly those which yield fruits lying oa or close to the ground, will be muck cleaner when grown in this way. Straw, lawn clippings or leaves aro spread over the earth to a depth of be- tween four and six inchesaltertho plants are welt grown. This mulch will keep down weeds and will con. serve moisture, When one is going away for two or three weeks in the middle of a hot summer spreading the Iawn clippings over the earth in the garden like this is particularly advis- able is order to conserve moisture and prevent the plants from becoming stunted. With those plants which will not permit deep cultivation on ac- count of spreading roots close to the surface, mulching ie also valuable. Taking a Chance Vegetable seeds cost but a few cents. It is a good plan to plant a few rows of the hardy varieties, such as spinach, radish, lettuce, carrots and beets as soon as possible, If they come through a considerable gain has been secured in earliness; if frost cuts them down the loss is really trivial Lettuce and Spinach Spinach and lettuce are so easily grown, come in such a range of varie- ties and are so indispensable from the health staudpoint that they should have a place in every garden, There is no difficulty in growing them to per- fection in any place in Ontario. But there is a great difference in. the way these things turn out sometimes and disappointment cau always be traced to lack of care. They must be planted early in the season and they must be grown quickly without a check. There aro three types of lettuce, the leafy sort which is the most easily grown and is tate earliest, the head lettuce which takes a little more care to grow perfectly and which is regarded as a medium sort, and the Cos lettuce which can be grown successfully dur- ing the hot weather. All should be planted in flue, 'warm soli in an open space, must bs.titiauod well, attd must be cultivated frequently. The leaf lettuce should be thinned to about two inches apart and the first thinnings can bo used on the table. Head let•- tucerequires about eightincites each way for full development, while about six inches is sufficient for tate Con type. The latter, which is not very well known, is a most excellent salad material for late summer whelk the other lettuce is Moline(' to become bitter. The heads of this should be tied up loosely with a piece of elastic or soft twine and they will bleach out to an attractive whitish color. With lettuce and with spinach a quick act• Ing Fertilizer is indispensable to hurry growth along and keep the crop tett- der. Spinach can be sown early as a light frost 'will not hurt it and it re, quires a well -pulverized rich soli attd cool weather. Some of the newer Danish or Oke. New Zealand are best. Plants should he thinned to about five inches apart and the foliage of the everlastiug type, which iueidoutally ie not of as high quality as the best of the others, may be cut several tltnea and will Crow again.
