THE PROBLEM OF FORGIVENESS LESSON TEXT-Matthew 18 21W. GOLDEN TEXT—And for*lv# ua our debt*, ai we forgive our debtors.—Matthew I 8:12. Christianity and forgiveness be long together. Among the religions of the earth Christianity stands out as the one true faith because it prop erly and adequately meets the prob lem of sin. In Christ is provided forgiveness for sin, cleansing from all unrighteousness, a new birth by which one enters into a life of holi ness and power. Since these things are true It would seem to be almost unneces sary to urge God\s children to be of a forgiving spirit. But as Bishop Ryle says, “It is a melancholy fact that there are few Christian duties so little practiced as that of for giveness. It is sad to see how much bitterness, unmercifulness, spite, harshness and unkindness there is among men.” Surely these things ought not so to be. I. The Extent of Forgiveness (vv. 21, 22), “How long do I have to stand it?” is the question of the human heart i untouched by the spirit of Christ. The injustices of life, the offenses \ of our fellow men against us, all seem to pile up until the burden is about to crush us. What is the an swer to man’s cry? The Jews had an answer. Three times is enough. Forgive once, yes. Again, yes. But the third time, no. Peter was big-hearted enough to more than double that allowance of mercy. He was willing to forgive not just two or three times, but sev en times. The point to be kept in mind, however, is that whether for-1 giveness means three times or seven times, if there is a limit, it is a mat ter of reckoning, of keeping books, and of ultimately bringing down our judgment upon the heads of the of fenders. Tile spirit of Christ swept all of that aside. He said that one should forgive 70 times seven. In other words, Christian forgiveness is to be untiring, unlimited, to know no weariness and have no boundaries. ) If one really forgives it is because i he has a forgiving spirit and that I spirit is not exhausted by use, buf I rather grows by exercise. A word of caution is in order at this point. Let no one suppose that our Lord’s instruction means that of fenses against the law of the land or against the good order of society are to be overlooked and condoned. It relates to the cultivation of a per sonal spirit of forgiveness, the lay ing aside of revenge, of malice, of retaliation which do not become the Christian. 11. The Motive of Forgiveness (vv. 23-34). Two motives are given in our text, the first being that since we our selves are daily and hourly in need of forgiveness at the merciful hand of God, we should in turn be merci ful biward those who sin against us. Compared with our offenses against the low of God, we know that the misdeeds of our neighbors against us are mere trifles. Remember what God has done for you, and then when j you are tempted to be hard and un- ! gracious willy your brother, remem her the mercy of God. The second motive is the remem brance that o day of judgment is j to come. There is always a time of i reckoning nhcad even as was the 1 case with these servants. Remem ber not only what God has done for you and is doing for you, but what you must yet expect Him to do in that day of judgment. 111. The Importance of Forgive ness (v. 35). A man dealing with his fellow man is apt to think that it is merely a matter between man and man. Wc are not dealing with a straight line between ourselves and our brother (that was Peter's error), but with ■ triangle at whose apex is God Him self. If 1 expect God to forgive me, I must let that same forgiveness flow out to my brother. If I deal with him ns though God had nothing to do with the matter, then I must ! not try to count God's forgiveness into the picture when I stand in debted before Him. Here again we express a word of i caution. Let no one suppose that l i ; our redemption in Christ is contin gent upon what we do toward our brethren. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of your selves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast” | (Eph. 2:8, 9). Nor does the truth | of our lesson mean that wc aie ! | somehow going to bargain with God, trading a bit of our forgiveness to r ward others for His forgiveness of us, God is not interested in such i transactions. But it does mean that if you cannot or will not forgive, you may well consider whether you are • Christian at all. Angry Words Scest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of • fool than of him.—Proverbs 28fpRR 1 ’ DEPARTMENT OF BANKING STATE OF GEORGIA STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF PERRY LOAN & SAVINGS BANK, PERRY, GEORGIA At Close of Business December 30, 1939 As Called For By The Superintendent Of Banks R.

ROTH AN EXPERIMENT IN HORSE-FEEDING THERE’S an old story I have al- 1 ways liked. It is about the parsi monious Frenchman who rued the money he spent in feeding his horse. After scheming and planning he hit upon an idea which would en able him to stop all that. It was beautifully simple; Each day he would gradually cut down the amount of feed he gave the horse. : He would cut it i down so gradually, InpS.- ■' | iin fact, that the ani- I : . 1 mal wouldn't ever K realize he was being l|||l The horse would / thus become used to bBiS getting along on less. Eventually he would need no feed at all. Think of the Charles Roth money that would save! The French genius scientifically set about carrying on the experi ment. Several months later he was telling about it with pride in his voice. Did it work? asked a friend. “Work? Oh, yes, indeed, it did!” he exclaimed. “It worked perfect ly. Beautifully. The only trouble was that just about the time my horse got used to going without feed, he died.” We laugh at the benighted condi tion of a man with an idea as fool ish as this, but many business men try to slop feeding their business “horse” by eliminating or cutting down on their advertising. The fact is that advertising is the feed which keeps their business in QUICK RELIEF FROM Symptoms of Distress Arising from STOMACH ULCERS due to EXCESS ACID FroeßooKTefisof HomeTroatmentthat Must Help or it Will Cost You Nothing Ovpr one million bottles of the WILLARD , TREATMENT have boon sold for relict of i symptoms ot distress wising from Stomach *ud Duodenal Ulctr»dno to [ictn Acid — Poor Dlgeetfen.

Forty years ago there was a remedy on the mar ket which was America’s biggest seller. It was widely, intelligently, consistently advertised. Its name w’as a household word. Then the founder of the business died. His heirs decided to cut out advertising because “our product is so well known people will have to buy it.” The product passed out of the pic ture entirely. Another was a fine, honest, well made, well-advertised toilet soap, with all the good will any product could possibly need. The manage ment of the business changed. The advertising stopped. Soon the prod uct was no longer on the market. The reason why advertising must be a continuous process is that we human beings need constant remind ing. We’re not fickle. But we are so filled with our own ideas and plans and businesses that if a man who wants our trade doesn’t ask for it regularly and often, we drift else where to the man who does. The advertiser is faced by the problem of asking his customers to I buy from him, but he also has to consider the most economical way of extending his invitation. He finds the answer to both parts of this problem in the newspaper. No other form of advertising has ever been discovered which will carry his message so effectively for so little cost. © Charles B. Roth. Lincoln Medal A strange coincidence distin guishes the Lincoln medals struck at Chicago tarly in 1865 from other varieties commemorating our mar tyred President. The obverse die, showing a bearded bust of Lincoln, cracked after a few impressions and had to be reinforced, and this crack, says an official of the Detroit Coin club, is clearly visible on the med als, It extends from below the right eye down through the lobe of one ear and across the metal surface in a course similar to that taken by the assassin’s bullet on April 14, 1865.
