LESSON V. -JULY 31, 1910.
A Lesson on Forgiveness. -Matt, 1$:
21-3o.
Commentary, -1.. The Forgiving
Spirit (vs. 21, 22), 21. then came
Peter -The discourse about offenses
had moved Peter to make :definite in-
quiry as to his duty in -granting for-
giveness. It is easy to infer that he
had been criticised and even wronged.
Impulsive and forward, it would not
be strange if he should receive re-
. buffs and slights from time to time.
how oft sho] .. , .1 forgive -It was
easily granted that forgiveness was
a duty, but bow many times .should
it be repeated was the question that
weighed upon Peter's mind. seven
tines -The rabbinical law limited for-
giveness to three times, but Peter
considered the new kingdom and its
principles, as laid down in the Ser-
mon on the Mount, as far more ex-
alted than the old system of con-
duct, and believed the requirements
would be much higher. ln. placing
the number at seven, he thought he
had been .abundantly liberal. It is
evident that he used the number
"seven" in its literal sense and not
in the figurative sense of a perfect
number. 22. I say -Indicating the
authority with which the answer was
given. until •seventy times seven -
It is doubtful whether the original
means four hundred ninety or sev-
enty-seven (seventy times seven, or
seventy time and seven, as in margin
of Revised. Version). But in either
case it is a symbolical expression for
never-ending forgiveness. Love is
not to be limited by the multiplication
table. -Schaff. It is to be granted
"so long as it shall be needed and
sought; you are never to come to.
' the point of refusing forgiveness sin-
cerely asked." -J, k'. & B. We should
always .have a forgiving spirit -a
spirit that seeks to do good to all
men especially to those who have
wronged us. "If thou canst not make
thyself such an oneas thou wouldest,
how cant thou expect to have an-
other in all things to thy liking?"-
Thomas a Kemple. "I have known
a man to nurse the tiny cockatrice
egg of unforgiveness till it has burst
into the fiery serpent of crime."
II. The Parable of the Unforgiving
Servant. (vs. 23-35). This parable
teaches the duty of forgiveness, and
whatever particulars are introduced
are added to complete the picture
We must not lose sight of the truth
presented. 23. the kingdom of heaven
-The divine government in the dis-
pensation of Jesus Christ. Forgive-
ness has an important and essential
place in this kingdom, would take
account -"Would. make a reckoning!'
R. V. The picture is drawn from
an. Oriental const. The provincial
governors, farmers of taxes, and
other high officials are summoned
before a despotie sovereign to give
an account of their administration.-
Can. Bib. The fundamental moral
principle in God's kingdom is right-
eousness, The great King of heaven
and, earth will, one day, reckon with
all •of his subjeets. servants -those
who were directly accountable to, him.
24. one was brought -Being so great-
ly indebted to the king he would not
care to face hint, hence he "was
brought." owed him ten thousand
'talents -This sum is estimated at from
ten million to fifteen million dollars.
The servant was a ruler of a pro-
vince or some other portion of the
,king's domain and was entrusted
with the raising of the public revenue,
and in keeping back the tribute he
'might become thus greatly indebted
to his sovereign. This scut repre-
sents a debt so great that there
,would be no possibility of discharg-
ing it; and thus represents our in-
dcet ,edness as subjects to our king.
26. had not wherewith to pay (R. V.)
tie had collected the revenue and
misused it, and therefore was bank-
rupt, We are bankrupt also, having
nothing wherewith to pay our debt
to our Sovereign. "Every sin is a
debt contracted with the justice of
• God and .soon our Master will settle
aceounts with us. What an awful
time it will be when with multitude
nothing shall be found but sin and
insolvency." - Clarke. Commanded
him to be sold -Creditors had power
,to sell insolvent debtors in several
countries . of Europe, as well as in
Asia,in ancient tones. -Benson.
25. 'ithe servant... worshipped h'im-.-
He placed himself in the attitude of a
suppliant seeking mercy. .He had done
'wrong and begged for his 'nester's for-
:bearance. The sinner with his weight of

'faith.
to God with repentance and
faith. We have no•tl,),ing to pay and no
)claim upon His mercy, yet He graciously
listens to our pleas and pities .our hope -
flees eondition will pay thee all. it
would seem impossible for the servant to
!have paid all his debt. It would be late
possible for the shiner to discharge to
debt he owes to God •from his own re-
Isources, even though he should live a
,thousand years. 27. Was moved with
:compassion -A fitting representation of
the mercy of the ICing to 'whom we are
'indebted, No eireumstances are men-
tioned white would call forth the royal
clemency, yet he was moved in behalf of
his subject. The compassion of our 1Cittg

Forgive constantly. "How oft shall -1
forgive .... Until seventy times. seven"
(vs. 21, 22.) We are to forgive repeat-
edly, indefinitely, perpetually, persever-
ingly, without stint, without limit. Je-
sus is emphasizing the perseverance of
the forgiving spirit in this parable of the
kingdom of heaven, '•1'erseveiance is
the essential grace. It is the
backbone of the Christian. It is to the
spuiritual life what the spinal column is
to the physical life. Chit of It grow
the ribs of other graces. It furnishes
the locomotive power of spiritual pray-
ers: it imparts secret strength to every
other virtue; it is the condition of pro-
gression; it defines the proportion and'
gracefulness of the framework of holy
living."
Forgive compassionately. "The Lord
moved with compassion" (v. 27),
Christ's whole ministry was a manifesta-
tion of compassion for the sinner and
tenderness for the sufferer., Jesus wept
over Jerusalem (Luke 19, 41)•; He wept
at the grave of Lazarus (John 31, 35);
He wept in the garden (Heb. 5, 7). And
to -day He is the save good Samaritan -of
compassion (Luke 10,33). To -day, wel-
eoming the. prodigal, Ile has compassion
(Luke 15, 20); seeing the hungry, shep•
herdless multitudes, He has cotngasston
(i41'a.tt. 15, 3S); looking on the widow
weeping over her dead, He has compas-
sion (Luke 7, 13); beholding the; blind
and leprous, He has 'compassion (?aloft.
20, 34; Mark 1. 41). .
Forgive completely. "Then the• lord
-.forgave . forgave him" (v. 27), the, instant he
confessed. Ilow often ane hears •the
words, "I forgive but 'I can't forget.
This is the woridling's way. Cherishing
resentment, recalling injury, letting
'wrong rankle, this is not forgivela

If a horse steps on a nail do not
pour turpentine in the punetus, Such
treatment only tends to increase-the
pain and inflatnation. Always bearin
mind that the foot cannot swell lige
other parts to accommodate itself to the
results of inflalnmation. This is the
reason that punctures or injuries to the
feet are so painful, Soothing treatment
is always 'indicated. Enlarge the open-

until recovery takes place.
It is useless to hunt for some prepar-

that is worthy trying. Cultivation so

Kaffir cornmeal and skim milk make
a splenid ration for growing young calv-

Green manuring/is much tallied about,
but little practised, except incidentally.
Clover crops are too valuable to be
ploughed into the soil; it pays better to
feed the clover to the,; stock and use
the manure for enriching the land. The
incential method of teen manuring is to
plough under a sod after a crop has been
taken off. Green manuring helps sandy
/and by making it more retentive of
moisture and by adding humus and
plant food. I helps clayey land by
making it more open and letting in the
air. The decaying vegetable matter also
produces acids that. operate 'on the
chemical plant foods to render them
available. Green manuring helps to
make chemical fertilizer? more quickly

The milk goat. like alt other goats.
can make a living on brushy and hilly
land, where most other animals would
starve. They are very benefizial to
land in clearing it of weeds, sprouts and
brush. They cannot endure low, wet
land, but thrive perfectry on rough.
hilly land. Those giving milk should be
fed on good grass, hay fodder and wheat
bran. but no grain of any; kind.
Corn ensilage possesses numerous ad-
vantages for early forage, as it is at
hand many times when it would be dif-
ficult to 'get spring crops available for
early feeding: An acre of corn will
produce more succulent •food in the 'form
of ensilage than an acre of any othar
kind of forage.
If the colt has not had any of its
mother's milk, first give a dose of castor
oil, then feed cow's milli to which at
least one-fourth of its volume of water
had been added end a little sugar. Warm
this to about 100 degrees F., or bloccl
temperature. Oil meal reade into jelly
by boiling and mashes made of boiling
beans and pears are excellent feed for
young colts. During the first few weeks
these gruels should be strained to re-
move the skins, as these are liable to
irritate the colt's tender stomach.
Probably the most unique dairy farm
in the world is situated ih New York
City. There is on top of a six -storey
building is a farm. The farm consists
of a half-blooded Holstein cow, half a
dozen sheep, an .Angora goat. a Shetland
pony with her colt, a large sheperd dog,
a number of chickens, turkeys, ducks,
geese and some monkeys. From 1,000
to 1,500 people visited the farm uighely
during the past summer.
An English fruit grower declares that
he has been able to preserve hie apple
trees from the wooly aphis by scraping
off the loose bark and applying a thin
coat of paraffin. .Each tree requires
about one pint of paraffin and the ap-
plication is made three times a year.
A Chicago commission merchant de-
clares that one reason ;,illy the farmers
receive low prices for their potatoes is
that they send them to market tines -
sorted and with dirt clinging to them.
If properly sorted and cleaned, and put
up in clean bags or ba1'rels they would
bring at least 25 per cent. more.
