How to Keep Poinsettias
For Flowering Next Year
During the holiday season, around
Christmas time, the poinsettia plant will
be found in full bloom. It's a good idea
to eare for the plant at this time, so as
to keep it in good condition for flower
ing next year. The true blossoms, incon
spicuous, are surrounded by the bright
red leaves or bracts which fall off soon
after the holiday season.
After the leaves have fallen, put the
plant in a cool place, between 40 and 60
degrees F., and allow the soil to dry out.
Do not water the plant in this stage,
which should last until about May. Then,
if there is too much old wood to make a
shapely plant for next winter, cut it
back. Shake the old soil from the roots.
Put in a pot just large enough to hold
the mass of roots without crowding. Pro
vide drainage in the bottom of the pot.
Fill it with fresh soil —three parts gar
den loam, on part well-rotted manure, and
one part leafmold.
After the poinsettia is repotted, set if
in a warm, light place and water it
whenever the soil seems to be drying out.
When the maple trees are in full leaf, set
the poinsettia out of doors in a sunny
place, still in its pot. Bury the pot up to
its top in the soil. This saves repotting
in the fall and disturbing the roots.
In a very hot climate it's better to
place the poinsettia where there is some
shade at mid-day. As soon as growth
starts, provide wooden or wire stake to
support the plant and keep the stems
straight. It may be necessary to repot
the plant once during the summer is a
larger pot, if it becomes potbound.
In the fall and when there is danger of
frost, it’s time to bring the poinsettias
indoors. Keep it in a light, airy part of
the house, out of drafts, where the tem
perature ranges from 60 to 65 degrees F.
Higher temperatures will make the leaves
drop. Keep the soil moist. Then you’ll
have flowers and red leaves for next
Christmas.

WHAT IS FUNDAMENTAL?
We are told by men of affairs that
faith is more necessary now than at any j
time since the war of states. But faith i
in what? Nations have failed each other
in treaties and agreements; men have
not been true to right principles in pub
lic affairs; churchmen have dishonored
their religious profession and parents,
to a great extent, are leaving the educa
tion of their children to picture shows
and worldly school teachers.
We wonder at time just how many
Sunday school teachers are instructing
their pupils in the fundamentals of the
"Faith.”
An esteemed and trusted teacher of the
church of which I am a member said that
the golden rule, and quoted, “as you
would that men should do unto you, do
ye unto them likewise,” was a religion
that would do to live and die by. That is
a good religion to live, while we trust
the atoneing work of Christ our Lord, but
there has to be the remission of sins, and
"without the shedding of blood there is
no remission of sin. In the great teaching'
on resurrecttion, Paul says, “If Christ
rose not from the dead, ye are yet in your
sins. The erucifiction and resurrection are
fundamental for salvation, and faith that
brings abiding results faith in the per
son of Christ Jesus. Paul said that he
delivered the gospel which he had re
ceived, “that Christ died for our sins ac
cording to the Scriptures and that he was
buried and that he rose again the third
day according to the Scriptures.” Faith
in this God-man has the promise of the
life which now is, and that which is to
come. Modernists and others, who do ]
not believe in the Deity of Christ, can
rejoice in the beautiful story of Dr.
Henry van Dyke's “Other Wise Man,” as
well as fundamentalists and be rejected
when our Lord comes for His Son. Paul
the great apostle and teacher said, “Ex
amine yourselves whether ye be in the
faith.”
I want a pastor, who not only preaches
the truth, but who loves it so much that
he will see that it is being taught in the
flock of which he is the under-shepherd.

LESSON
THE PROBLEM OF FORGIVENESS
International Sunday School Lesson for
January 14, 1940.
GOLDEN TEXT: "Forgive us our
debts, as we also have forgiven our
debtors." —Matt. 6:12.
(Lesson Text: Matthew 18:21-23)
In studying this lesson, it would be
well to read and consider carefully the
whole eighteenth chapter of Matthew
which deals with the intricate and diffi
cult matter of human relations and of
the effects of one’s behavior upon his fel
lowman. While we should weigh care
fully our actions in the light of their ef
fects upon those with whom we come into
contact, in the lesson for this week we
are to consider what we must do when
some one has wronged us. -
Perhaps there is nothing more difficult
for the average human being to do than
to forgive a person who has intentional
ly, apparently wilfully done something or
said something harmful or untruthful
against him or her. By nature, it seems,
we find it hard to overlook the wrong
and dispel from our minds thoughts of
revenge.
In our lesson on Forgiveness today we
base our thoughts on a passage which
shows how Jesus advised his followers,
likewise, to make every effort to regain
the friendship of one of their fellow-hu
mans.
The rabbis required that an offender
should go to the man he wronged and
seek forgiveness, which their rule said
should be granted three times. Jesus lays
down the general thought that love rec
ognizes no limit in its effort to redeem,
that forgiveness is not a matter of arith
metic but an attitude of the heart.
Jesus would not leave it to the initia
tive of the guilty one to seek reconcilia-

Every facility is provided for

those in charge of the Stations that

tion, but advised the injured party to
seek an interview in an effort to adjust
matters. If a private discussion failed,
then the help of others was to be enlisted
in an effort to bring the recalcitrant to
a realization of his obligation. This was
to be done in a spirit of love and gene
rosity, not of punishment and revenge.
As so often happened it was the impe
tuous Peter who voiced the question in
the minds of the disciples by asking how
often should he forgive a brother. Peter
suggested seven times, more than requir
ed by the Jewish rule, but Jesus multi
plies the number indefinitely, saying “un
til seventy times seven.” Knowing the
bondless expanse of perfect love, Jesus
knew that no confinement could be placed
upon its exercise.
Then, Jesus illustrated His teaching
by the story which forms the basis of our
lesson. A servant, who had been forgiven
by his king for his own deficiency, forget
the kindness bestowed upon himself and
when one of his own subordinates was
found in a like state in relation to him
self, adopted an attitude of severity
against him. The fact that his own mas
ter had been moved by pity for human

misery on his behalf was forgotten as he
sought to apply torture, pressure in the
other case. Jesus pointed out that every
human being was the recipient of so
great heavenly forgiveness that an atti
tude of oppression or severity would be
cntirely inconsistent.
It is easy to give way to hatred and
carry animosity, but it is nobler to forget
and forgive injustice and wrong in the in
terest of a more peaceable and complete
1 life. The world suffers greatly because
of its various antipathies and enmities.
Discord between individuals stirs up
strife in various localities, hostility be
tween various classes, sectional animosi
ties, national prejudices and racial repug
nances. all contribute to prevent the
reign of fellowship and mutual helpful
i ness which love would implant in every
’ human soul. The spirit of man grows re-

Nor ever strike him blow for blow

To be forgiven must forgive.

; For all the blessed souls in heaven
I Are both forgivers and forgiven.
