Respectfully. E. W. Mashburn, Sunshine in The Home, Power in The Life. Forgiveness. Kind Editor: I desire a short space in your valuable paper to say a few words on the above topic. What is forgiveness? It is to pass over another’s wrong acts and to treat the offender as tho he had never sinned. That is what God does for us in Jus tification. He acquits us and treats us as tho we were not guilty for his Son’s sake. So it is in regard to forgiving our fellowman. -You have prob ably heard someone say: “I can forgive but I cannot forget.” If we leave the handle of the hatchet above ground we have not really forgiven. It may not be possible to erase all from memory but we can live as tho’ we had— that is true forgive ness. We are commanded to pray “Forgive as we forgive.” Now if we do not forgive, we ask God in this petition, not to forgive us, and if we cannot pray this prayer, we are not Christians. To return evil for good is dev il like. To return good for good is human like. To return good for evil is Christ like. A Chris tian is one -which is like Christ Reader, can you conceive of Christ having an unforgiving Spirit? He cannot have; neith er can a Christian. We cannot pray an accepta ble prayer to God with an un forgiving spirit. Christ said: “when ye stand praying for give if ye have ought against any, That your Father w'hich is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses (also see Matt 5-23-26). It is an evidential fact that many church mem bers do not believe this Bible doctrine or that they have be come so hardened in sin until they have reached the “Don’t care” point. Most of us have noticed that there are church members who hate each other year in and year out. And sometimes they r are members of the same denomination and the same church. To my mind this is as much as to say “I will risk dying and spending an eternity in hell rather than forgive.” Peter wanted to kpovc if there was to be any limit to his for bearance, but the Master assur ed him there was not. “I say not unto thee until seven times put until seven times seventy.” And church member you may deceive yourself into beleiving that you can be a Christian and not forgive but it is absolutely impossible. It is contrary to the teachings of God’s Book. It is contrary to the law of love. Whom you love you w r ant to help. If you*have an unforgiv ing spirit, you have hatred in your heart. Neutrality in re ligion there is none. Then God’s word says “He that hateth his brother is a mur derer and no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him”. And reader you cannot fool God. If you go to the judge ment with an unforgiving spirit hell will be your doom. For Christ said that His heavenly Father will not forgive us if we from our hearts forgive not ev ery one his brother their tres P. H. Stokes. Mill Notice.

The following dispatch clip ped from the Sunday Constitu tion will be read with deep re gret by the people of this coun ty. The injured lad is a son of Dr. W. A. Harrison, formerly of this county, and who has many friends who will be pain ed to learn of the misfortune of his little son. Cordele, Ga., March 24. (Special.)— Bonney Harrison. 8-years-old son of Dr. Harrison of Sycamore, yesterday receiv ed a severe blow from a base ball bat on the neck, which rup tured his larynx, or Adam’s ap ple. If he had not been given medical attention his injury would probably have resulted fatally in a few hours. The larynx is the beginning of he windpipe, and the air drawn trough the windpipe be gan to penetrate into the tissues of the neck, chest and body, causing an enormous swelling of the parts affected. The child’s condition gradually grew worse, and Dr. Harrison rushed him to the local sana torium, where an operation was performed. An opening was made in the windpipe and a si l ver tube inserted thru which the patient breathes. The child was watching a number of children playing ball When the batter struck at the, ball, the bat slipped from his hap ,the end striking the Har rison child on the neck. i . . CORINTH. Well, the rourtfi Sunday in March has come and gone and has carried with it all the oppor tunities, and we can’t recall what we have done. What we have done will stand in Judg ment for or against us. Let us be careful what w r e do and say. The Sunday school and pray er meeting is progressing fine, and we are glad of it for it seems that the good Lord has been with us every time we meet and we have been made to rejoice in that eternal hope of immortal glory which is food for the soul while here on earth Aint that a blessed thought to the Christians. The Lord has promised to be with you all ways even unto the end of the world. Well let us think of the starving of millions of children over in those countries that has not the privilege that we now have in the United States and ask God to,cause those wicked people over there to stop and thing what they are doing and that thev will soon be at peace again, but there is nothing that will bring peace but the love of God in the hearts of those rul ers that have the reins of their goverment in their hands. Will our praysrs help? Of course they will ask in faith doubting nothing the Lord has promised to hear the prayers of his peo ple. If so let us try the Lord he tells us to try him but there is so many that has no faith. We will pass on and close our re marks for this time as there is not much visiting. Mr. Robert Reid and family visited at Mrs. W. O. Samples Saturday night. Mr Luther Wheeler and wife visited at Mrs. Hamodns Satur day night and attended services at Roanoke Sunday.
