When Orme was aroused by the
ringing of his telephone bell the next
morning and heard the clerk’s voice
saying over the wire. Eight o clock,
sir,” it seemed as if he had heen
asleep but a few minutes.
During breakfast he reviewed the
events of the preceding evening.
Strange and varied though they bad
been, his thoughts chiefly turned to
the girl herself, and he shaped all his
plans with the idea of pleasing her. |
The work he had set for himself was i
to get the envelope and deliver it to
the girl. This plan involved the find-
ing of the man who had escaped from
the tree.
The search was not so nearly blind
as it would have been if Orme had
not found that folded slip of paper
In Maku's pocket. The address,
“three forty-one North Parker street,”
was unquestionably the destination at
which i Maku had expected to meet
friends.
To North Parker street, then, Orme
prepared to go. Much as he longed to
see the girl again, he was glad that
they were not to make this adventure
together, for the reputation of North
Parker street was unsavory. . ’

Matthew t:H.
^VT. PETER'S query. “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me
and I forgive him, until seven times?” is a query that comes to many.
4t is a question that *t some time and in some manner or form is quite
sure to come to all the followers of Christ. Imperfect ourselves and
surrounded by others who are imperfect, we continually have need to exercise
mercy, benevolence, forgiveness. There is something in the human mind
which naturally appreciates justice and takes special note of injustice done
toward us. It is also remarkable bow many people take a delight in meting
out justics to an offender against the law. It is thia spirit which has been
noted in mobs. Men and women and children work themselves Into a very
frenzy, as advocates of justice,- in expressions against a guilty wretch who
escapes the clutches of the law and a just penalty, and insist upon taking
vengeance into tbdtr own bands It would appear that many of those who
participate in mobs bare at times been guilty of nearly or quite as great
crimes as those which they reprehend in another and would punish. It would
appear that there is a craving in the fallen flesh to do violence to another, or
to see violence done. If only there could be an excuse for It on the score of
justice. Alaa, poor creatures, bow wrong such a condition of heart, how rep-
rehensible in the sight of God! And yet those who thus wrongfully give loose
rein to their passtons, quiet their own consciences, at least, by concluding that
they nre viewing the mutter like God. loving justice and bating iniquity.
It is true that Justice is the foundation of Divine Government—that God
is just: but it is also true that God is loving and kind, and that he accepts to
himself the very name of love, fur “God is love." Such should learn that to
be in the Divine likeness Is to govern one’s self and one's coarse by the rules
of justice, but to measure the course of others by the rule of lore and sym-
pathy, generosity and forgiveness.
In answer to St. Peter’s question, our Lord said that we should forgive a
brother not only seven times, but seventy times seven. What a breadth of
generosity is here suggested! How it tells us of the loving mercy and for-
giveness of him with whom we bare to do! But let us remember another
statement of this same matter, where it is implied that before the forgiveness
is granted. It is to be at least desired. If not sought. “If thy brother trespass
against thee seven times in a day and seven times in a day sb.-ill say. 'I re|>ent:'
thou shait forgive him”—or to the extent of seventy times seven (Ve most
even assume that the Ix>rd meant that in our hearts we should already forgive
the brother his trespasses, even though we might wisely wait to express our
forgiveness until his attitude manifested some desire for it. The disciples of
Christ are to be continually in the attitude of generosity and filled with the
spirit of forgiveness as is the heavenly Father—ready and waiting to be gra-
cious, and nnder proper conditions, to manifest that readiness.
To illustrate this matter the Master spoke a parable. He said. “The king-
dom of hearen is like unto a* certain King which would take account of his
servants" (vs. 23). But as we understand hljn, he meant that the church at
the present time is the embryotlc Kingdom and is being dealt with by tbs
Lord after the manner of the illustration in this parable. It is not therefore
an Illustration of God’s dealing with the world. He is not dealing with the
world at all. He is not calling them his servants in any sense of the word—
obly believers, consecrated ones, occupy this favorable position of Divine rela-
tionship and only thpse are meant in the parable. Furthermore, the parable
does not e^-en consider the church on the score of original sin. It Is not the
thought thnt original sin may be cancelled on account of prayer. The penalty
for original sin needed to be paid, not by the prayer of the winners, bat
by the precious blood of Christ But after having our sins forgiven throagb
turning from sin and faith in Christ, and through consecration to the Lord
and begetting of the holy spirit, then we are bls servants, and the parable re-
lates to these only.
The first servant mentioned in the parable bad been very derelict as a
servant of God. As a follower of Christ he had come far short. The time of
reckoning came. He realized it and besought Divine favor and merry, prom-
ising to do all he could to make up for the deficiencies. He was heard; the
sentence upon him was stayed. But when be went forth to find a fellow serv-
ant who owed him a trifling sum, and would have no mercy upon him, his
master was very angry and declared that he. too, must be harshly dealt with
and receive no mercy, t^cause he had shown none to his fellow-servant. His
lord’s words were, “Bbouldest not thou also have bad compassion (mercy) upon
thy fellow servant even as I bad mercy on thee?” And bis lord “delivered
him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due.” The amoant due
would pbt include any part of the penalty of original sin, but mere'y tho
penalty for the short comings of the transgressor as respects bls Coven^w^
relationship, as a servant who was also a debtor from the time he becaflLv
a servant.
The Lord's words concluding the parable are, “So shall also my heavenly
Father do unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother
bis trespasses.” In another text our Lord inculcates the same thought in
different words, saying: “If ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly
Father will also forgive you.*'
The purpose and object of our heavenly Father in thus dealing with us
seems not clear to nil. It is not that be wishes to retaliate. It Is not that
he would say to us. “If you are mean towards others I will be mean towards
you.” Rather the lesson is tbis. "l am kind to the unthankful; I have been
very gracious to you tn the forgiveness of your original sin and in accepting
your consecration to be my servant and in bringing you into my family, but
I have called you into this position for a spec lai purpose and yoa will not be
fit nor be prepared for the service I desire for you unless you learn the lesson
of forgiveness and generosity; hence, for your sake I make the rule that I
will be no more generous to you and your imperfections than you are gener-
ous toward your brethren in their imperfections. 1 do this in order to teach
you a great lesson which cannot be so well learned in any other way. What
I am seeking in you as my servant is perfection in my character-likeness.
You are inclined to look at the justice of my character and to copy it and to
deal severely with others who are your debtors. I wish to make clear to you
that the grandest elements of my character are illustrated from the standpoint
of my love and sympathy, my kindness and forbearance. Because I desire yoa
to progress to this character-likeness and no cotee to the position where I caa
use you in my service more abundantly, therefore I rule that yoa must be
forgiving and gracious one toward another even as I have already been gra-
cious toward you, and even as I prop —- “—- *- ----

been keeping a record of outgoing

ing that day. With his stick he had
written the initials of each in a clean
spot in the snow and with that same
stick had registered the number of
tons they had taken away. I had
spoiled one-half of his “books” and it
was an hour before he became at all
affable. I was still more astonished
when I entered the "superintendent’s”
little board office. The walls were
black with pencil marks, figures and

“Who paid this to you?" ;
Orme.
“How should I remember? I can't

come in the store during the day.”
“But I should think that anything
so quger as this—" He saw that he
could get nothing from her except by
annoying her.
The. woman glared. "What you a
botherin’ about? Why don't you leave
well enough alone?"
Orme smiled. “Tell me one thing,"
he said, ‘‘do you know a Japanese that
lives hereabouts?"
"Oh,” said the woman, "so you're
one of the gentlemen he was expectin’,
eh? Well, it’s the front flat, two
flights up.”
“Thank you," said Orme. He walked
,oqt to the street, whence a backward
glance showed him the woman again
concealed in her newspaper.
At one side of the shop he found the
entrance to a flight of stairs which led
•to the floors above. In the little hath
way, just before the narrow ascent be-
gan, was a row of electric buttons and
names, and under each of them a mail
box. “3a" had a card on which was
printed:
‘‘Arima, Teacher of Original Kana
Jiu-Jitsu.”
Should he go boldly up and present
himself as a prospective pupil? If
Arima were the one who had so ef-
fectively thrown him the night before
he would certainly remember the man
he had thrown and would promptly
be on his guard. Also, the woman in
The shop had said, “you are one of the
| gentlemen he was expectin’.” Others
I were coming.
Prudence suggested that he con-
ceal himself in an entry across the
street and keep an eye out for the
persons who were coming to visit Ari-
ma. He assumed that their coming
had something to do with the stolen
paper. But he had no way of know*,
ing who the athlete's guests would be.
There might be no one among them
whom he could recognize. And even
if he saw them all go in, how would
his own purpose be served by merely
watching them? In time, no doubt,
they would all come out again, and
one of them would have the papers in
his possession, and Orme would not
know which one.
For all he was aware, some of the
guests had already arrived. They

card bore the name:

portions. But after awhile, when Buido became sick and weak, it was little
Tommy's turn to be good to bis big friend. When Buldo became too weak to

no good little Tommy would bring food to him and try to eoar him to eat.
But it was no use. and after a short time the big baboon died.

This man will try to prejudice her

was saying to himself, “How can I per-

Suddenly he was conscious that the
woman had ceased speaking and was
ruenlng the cards through her fingers
and looking at him searchlngly. “You
are not listening,” she said, as he met
her gase.
* He smiled apologetically “I know—
I was preoccupied.”
“I can’t help you If you don't llaten.”
Orme inferred that she took pride
to her work. He sighed, and looked
grave. “I am afraid," he said slowly,
“that my case te too serious for the
cards.”
She brightened. "You'd ought to
have a trance-reading—two dollars."
“I'd take any kind of reading that
would help me, but I’m afraid the aitu-
atlon is too difficult.”
“Then why did you come?”

“I came because you could help me,
but not by a reading.”
“What do you mean?” Plainly she
was frightened. *T don’t put people
away. That's out of my line. Hon-
est!”
{ “Do I look as if I wanted anything
crooked done?” Orme smiled.
“It's hard to tell what folks want,”
she muttered. “You’re a fly-cop^ aren't
you?”
“What makes you think that?”
"The way you been sizing things up.
You aren't going to do anything, are
you? I pay regular for my protection
every month—five dollars—and I work
hard to get it, too."
Orme hesitated. He had known at
the outset that he was of a class dif-
ferent from the ordinary run of her
clients. The difference undoubtedly
had both puzzled and frightened her.
He might, disabuse her of the notion
that he had anything to do with the
police, but her misapprehension was I
an advantage that he was loath to lose.
Fearing him, she might grant any fa-

"Mr. Arima? No. He's a Jap. I see
him In the halls sometimes, but I don't
do no more than bow, like any neigh-
bor.”
“He's noisy, isn't he?"
“Only when he has pupils. But he
goes out to do most of hte teaching. Is
he wanted?"
"Not exactly. Now look here I be-
lieve you’re a well-meaning woman.
Do you make a good thing out of this
business?"
"Fair.” She smiled faintly. "I ain't
been in Chicago long, and it takes time
to work up a good trade. 1 got a
daughter to bring up. She’s with

TIME TO PAUSE
There te fo«d for thought in the
moralizing of our esteemed Navo
correspondent. J. *. M. Harper "The
present indications," he writes,
"are that the largest acreage of
wheat will be gown this year that we
have had for years. So many rent-
ers are thus turned out with their
families that ft te a question whether
the recent large wheat crop will
prove a blessing «r a curse. If our
prosperity drives all these renters
from us, who will cultivate our land
when the wheat falls? The wheat
crop in this country for years has
been an uncertain proposition?- so
much so that we cannot afford io
take too great a risk.”
At the top of the second flight he
looked to the entrance of the front
It had a large square of
ground glass, with the name “Arima”
in black letters. He continued up-
ward another flight and presently
found himself before two blank doors
1 —one at the front and one a little
at one side. The side door opened
slowly in response to his knock. “
Before him stood a blowsy but not
altogether unprepossessing woman of
middle years. She wore a cheap print
gown. A gipsy scarf was thrown over
her head and shoulders, and her ears
held loop earrings. Her inquiring

building. Through the dusty glass he
could see the railing of a fire-escape
platform, and cutting diagonally across

platform above. There was a closed

"He genersjly seems to be away,

“I fancy he’s what you'd call a noisy
neighbor,” said Orme.
"Oh. I don’t mind. *rhere’s more or
less noise up here sometimes.” She
smiled frankly. “Spirits can make a
lot of noise. I've known them to throw
tables over and drag chairs all around
