FORGIVING AND BEING FORGIVEN.
Matthew 18:21-35_July 31.
"If ye forgive men their tr at pa suet, your heavenly Father tcill oJbo forgive you"—
Matthne 6:1).
ST. ItJSTKlt'S query, “Lord, how often »hall my brother sin against mo
n,1« * forgive him, until woven times?*’ Is n query that comes to many.
It Is a question that at some time aud in some manner or form is quite
sure to come to uII the followers of Christ. Imperfect ourselves and
surrounded l»y others who nro Imperfect, we continually hare need to exercise
m<*oy, benevolence, forgiveness. There Is something in the human mind
which naturally appreciates Justice and takes special note of Injustice done
toward us. It Is also remarkable how many people take a delight in meting
out Justice to uu offender ugainst the law. It Is tills spirit which has been
noted lu mobs. Men and woiueu ami children work tlrcmselves Into a very
frsnay. as advocates of Justice, In expressions against a guilty wretch who
•scapes the clutches of the law and a just penalty, and Insist upon taking
vengeance Into tbele own hands. It would appear that many of those who
prirtioipats In mobs have at times Iteon guilty of nearly or quite as great
crimes ns those which they reprehend In another and would punish. It would
*il*pear that there Is a craving In the fallen flesh to do violence to another, OS
to violence done, If only then* could bo an excuse for It on the score qg
Justice. Aina, poor creatures, how wr< ng su< h a condition of heart, how rep
rehsuslble In the Bight of God! And yet )!:• - .> who thus wrongfully give loose
roiu to tbelr passions, quiet their own con . i.>n<.. at least, by concluding that
they are viewing the matter like <!<d. iovl- g Justice and hating Iniquity.
It Is true that .'toistlce Is the foui-.datl* n i f Di/lne Government—that God
I* Just; but It la also true that God 1: 1 ■ a a.! kind, and that ho ucccpts to
wiiiiself the very name of love, for “God l«j*>uch should learn that to
be in t4ie Divine likeness b to govern «::t *‘s •. if an.] one*n course by the rules
of justice, but to measure lit** cop vs • of other-* by the rule of love and sym
pathy. generosity and forgiveness.
In answer to St. I’cter's quest lot*, our !. ; d aid Hint we should forgive a
brother not ouly seven times, bat ‘j.vnty Hv.ei r voa. What a breadth of
generosity Is here suggested! How It tel]?: u. , f (!:o loving mercy and for*
•lioness of him with whom v: • have tu e ! !'»•; let us remember another
tatoment of this samo matter, where It I« lmp:ird ili.-u before the forglvenfean
Is giuutvd, It Is to bo at least desired. If it* . nought. “If thy brother trespuss
against thee aoveu times lu a day and rovc-.i t in. •» in a day shall say, ‘Ijepent;’
t.ivu shn.t forgive liliu"—or to the extent of s-vonfy times seven’, live must
o-.r.i assume that the I.ord meant th t lu «,pr hearts we should already forgive
t la utlier Ids trespasses, evwn tin lt 'i we mi lit .wisely wait to express our
torglvoueon until his attitude manifest d n:n»e der're f r It. TheldUwIplee of
t hrift are to be continually in the u;titr.de o; go* or . ity and fllltaiwlth the
spirit of fcrglvenees as Is the heavenly Father ready and waltlivIJb l*» gra
cloat. and under nronor conditio: * to cunifo.t it, •» i.i.Unou*.
To Illustrate this matter the Master sp .l;e a p i: *.!:lo. He said, “The klng

would not Include any part of the‘penalty of original sin, hut merely the
penalty for the short comings of the transgressor a < respects his Covenant
relationship, as a servant who was ohm „ debtor frotu »ii$ time he became
a servant.
Tho Lord’s word# concluding the parable lure. ".So shall also my heavenly
Tathor do unto you;'if-ye frjn V'Ur^nyiVtr, ifui^iV uyTefcrj- >ne lift brother
his trespasses.” In another text our Lord inculcate* tin* same thought In
different words, saying: "If ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly
Fatlier will also forgive you.” r, . *
The purpose and object of our heavenly Father In thus'dealing with us
seems not clear to all. It Is not that he wishes to retaliate. It is not that
he wen Id say to us, “If you are mean towards others I will bq mean towards
you.” Rather the lesson Is this, “I am kind to the unthankful; I hnvo been
very gracious t9 you In the forgiveness of your original sin and In accepting
your consecration to be my servant and In bringing you into riv,family, but
I have called you Into this position for a special purpose and yum will not be
fit nor be prepared for the service I desire for you unless you learn the lesson
of forgiveness and generosity; hence, for your sake I make the fule that I
wdll be no more generous to you nnd your Imperfections than vntfflre gener
ous toward your brethren In their imperfections. I do this in order to tench
you a great lesson which cannot be so well learned in any other way. What
I nm seeking In you as my servant is perfection in ray character-likeness,
lou are inclined to look at the justice of my character and to copy it nnd to
d«al severely w ith others who are your debtors. I wish to make clear to you
that the grandest elements of iny character are illustrated from the standpoint
Of my love and sympathy, my kindness nnd forbearance. Because I desire you
to progress In this character-likeness and so come to tho position where I cun
uso you in my service more abundantly, therefore I rule that you must be
forgiving and gracious one toward another even ns I have already been grn
Cleus toward you, and even as I propose yet further to be gracious to you
If you will abide in harmony with my spirit of love nnd seek to walk In my
way. I am ready to forgive tho loving and generous who are seeking to copy
my character, I am ready to be kind and generous and forgiving to the great
Hit
“The kindest and the hnppiest pair
Will find occasiou to forbear.
And something every day they live
To pity, and perhaps forgive.”

Photographing a Panther.
A panther is nut easily killed and
will often revive with very unpleasant
results, as on a certain occasion in the
I>eecan. He appeared to be quite
dead, and one of the spectators rusbt'tl
up with a camera on a stand to obtain
a picture of the supreme inomeot. Ue
got his photoKrnpli. and. strange to
•ay. It survived what followed, but no
sooner had he taken it than the pan*
ther revived, tore himself loose and
went for the photographer. Somehow
the man escniHsl. hut the camera was
sent flying, and. disconcerted by his
encounter with it. tlie panther turned
and made for the nearest tree, up
which he went as quickly as a mon
key. Now. the tree was crowded with
interested spectators, and for three or
four strenuous seconds (until the pan
ther was shot) wo enjoyed u spectacle
of natives dropping to earth with loud
thuds like ripe plums from a jungle
plum tree ns the panther approached
them.—Wide World Magazine.

not go. “No. I cannot leave him like
this." Then, when the dog's suffer
ings were over. Bismarck wiped his
eyes and murmured: “Our Teuton
forefathers showed benevolence in
their religion. They believed they
would find in tin* hunting grounds of
their paradise nil the dogs tlint had
been their faithful comrades hero be
