very particular friend and chum was
chap who was six fee t four, while
I wasn't n?ucb more than fmir feet
t\x, Despltft the disparity In our dl.
meuflons we ware the closest of
friends, and ft* tor a# I watt concern
^ there waa only one thing that
marred my otherwise complete hftpsl
seen aud that was '--thai I could not
be as tall as be. Hut the time came
when I thought differently about that,
Knd when in f&ct. he, Instead of be
ing proud of his altitude, wished only
that he had been built on tny more
limited scale, and that was when In
our later life we had both, come tb
I* afflicted with rheumatism.
"Then when 1 looked at him, racked
rm. pain throughout his tall frame,
j watt glad that I was not tall but
short; and when lift reflected on the
nearly two feet more of space in him
self that the rheumatism bad to roam
over be uaed to groan and wish that
be had been built short like me.
"Isn't it singular how things oome
about? The things that at one time
we may moat bemoan m%y prove fa
the end our greatest blessing."

U perfectly right In his contention, i
the fates, 'or the poetoffice department
or something etna will turn up to
make It appear that the man la wrong.
For Instance, a few day* ago my wlfoj
remarked that a fetter lu a ptaln en
velope dropped In a'. letter Vox would
bo delivered even If It had no stamp.
Of course I knew better, and told Dor
00, but she was obstinate. Just to i
prove my contention when I was at
the office the next day I drew a plo*
tyre of a goose on a sheet of paper, j
Underneath the likeness I wrote:
"Dear Madam ; If you pay two cents j
to get this y?u are a goose/ I put
tho sheet In a plain envelope and ad
dressed It to my wife. The next |
morning the doorbell rang furiously ]
while 1 was still In bed. I waited for
the wife or the maid to respond, but
both had gone out ifinally I went to
tho doqr myself. There was a fool
letter carrier with that crasy letter,
wad I Si*)* to ???? down "nd pay ?he
two cents poutage due. If t bad given
tbo letter to my wife she would have
been still more flrmly convinced that
?he waa right."

A Woman Who Was a tinner.
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.
