But Christianity will never bring its greatest bless ing to humanity until all people everywhere accept Christ as Lord and Savior. And every man who names the Name of Christ has a direct responsibility to the rest of thd human race. The third thing that one finds in Christian character is a sense of supreme happiness. A real Christian is one who is full of zest, joy, and one who gets a thrill out of sheer living. Life is never down on the level of mere existence.

Lesson for March 4: Matthew 18:21- 35. Memory Verse: Matthew 6:14-15. The answer of Jesus to Peter is not the mere arithmetic of fdrgive- ness. It does not mean that one should forgive 490 times, and be yond that refuse. But the answer really means that forgiveness should have no limit. The contrast between the first impulse of the king and his actual dealing with the debtor ii marked— to sell the man’s wife and children into slavery and to cast the man into prison would have been the course of unforgiving men, the king’s merciful dealing with the poor fellow illustrates the spirit of forgiveness which Jesus teaches. But the forgiven man is not an example of penitence. Pleading for mercy, he was hard and merci less toward others. He went out from the nresence of his forgivin ; master, throttled a fellow servant, demanded a lew shillings, and then cast the man into prison. “Give a man enough rope and he will hang himself.” Bad men cart go too far in their wickedness toward others. The indignation of the other servants led them tn make common cause against the wicked debtor. Even now public opinion should be aroused and di rected toward the exposure of men who are growing rich at the ex pense of others. But let not any forget their need to forgive the personal wrong. Consider how an absolute deadline is drawn between the unforgiving man and God (Lord’s Prayer) ano beware of harboring resentment ot real or fancied wrong. Peace of soul and heaven at last are wortfc infinitely more than the satisfac tion of cherishing a grudge. 8718 ^ 34-48.7 Button Front No. 8718—Your family will eye you admiringly in this attractive button front house dress cut along popular princess lines.
