Who can read the Gospel narratives without realizing that Jesus was- a "Friend of sinners," aa was charged by the Pharisees? And is not this the feature of the Bible wtych specially commends it? With the exception of wilful slanprs, whom we must hope, are few. 'there comes a time when sin is seen In its true color and Is detested. Then is the time when the Gospel MeS sage from the Friend of sinners spe> dully 'appeals. All seem to know in stinctively that Jesus stands ready to be the Helper of all who come to the Father through Him. # Jesus had accepted ah invitation to a Pharisee's house. The dinner had bp? gun. After the custom, they reclined upon low tables or couches. While the dinner was progressing, a 'woman "who was a sinner," a harlot, deeply penitent, entered. She had in her hand some precious perfume, with which she intended to anoint the Sa vior's feet.; Her heart was full, and tears gushed frontr her eyes upon His f^et; she was dishonoring tha very feet she intended to fionor. Loosening her hair, the woman used ft as a towel, regardless of thd fact that it was considered dishonorable to let down her hair in public;' she dried the feet and poured the precious perfume as an honor to the One from whom she had heard "Wonderful words of life." Two Debtors end Their Love. The host of the occasion wa'tched Jesus to see how He would receive this devotion, saying In his heart. If this "Bo frankly forgave them both." ' * . * ? >T< ? ' Man were^a proph et, He would know that the woman is disreputable. H e would bid her not to touch Him. Je ans knew his thoughts and an swered, MA certain creditor hod two debtors, v one owed five hundred pence and the other ; fifty. Neither could pay and he forcave them both. Which of them will love him. most?' The Pharisee replied, '1 suppose be to whom most was for given." Jesus agreed with him. Then Jesus made application of the matter; turning to the woman. Be said to Bis host; Seest thou this woman, who washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair? You are the host of the occasion, yet you did not offer Me water f ok the washing of My feet, as Is custoimry in our land to do to those whoW we desire to honor. You gave Me m> kiss, but this woman has repeatedly kissed My feet. "Y6n did not .anoint My head with oil. but she hath anointed My feet There fore, her slns?vwblch are many, are for given, for etoo loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the sitae lov eth little." And He said to the woman. "Thy sins are forgiven.** Is not this to some extent an illustra tion and sn explanation of the fact ?tfiat the majority of those who love the Lord most are such as realise their own sinful and fallen condition most and appreciate most the forgiving love of God manifested In Jesus? Is it not true today also that those who are most moral have correspondingly tees loveV This should not be the case* how ever. The less degraded ought natur ally to be the more able to love and to appreciate Divine goodness and love and the more wilting to present their little all tn Divine service. Those present Inquired. Who Is this that even forgives stnsT The only sat isfactory answer is that Be is the Re deemer of the world. Be was then In process of rendering up Bis sacrifice according to Bis covenant; Be had au thority, therefore, to tell the woman that ber sins were forgiven. .
