In this lesson we have divine In-
structions as to our behavior In case
of Ill-treatment.
I. Peter's Question (v. 21).
This question, “How often shall my
brother sin against uie and I forgive
him?’’ probably was occasioned by the
ill treatment which Peter was then re-
ceiving at the hands of his fellow dis-
ciples, Christ’s confession of Peter
brought him Into the limelight. The
question of the disciples (18:1) “Who
Is the greatest in the kingdom of heav-
en?” shows that there was some jeal-
ousy of Peter among the disciples and
consequent contention among them.
From the Lord’s teaching as to the
efforts to bring about reconciliation In
case of offenses between brother and
brother He knew that It would require
the exercise of the spirit of forgive-
ness. Peter disposed to be gracious In-
quires “Till seven times?” showing his
readiness to forgive his brother not
three times, but twice three times and
a little over.
II. Jssus* Answer (v. 22).
The Lord’s answer was an astonish-,
ing revelation to Peter. He said “Not
until seven times, but until seventy
times seven.” This shows that our
willingness to forgive should be limit-
less. ,
III. The Tw» Creditors (vv. 23-35).
This parable of the two creditors Il-
lustrates His principles of forgiveness.
1. The gracious creditor (vv. 23-27).
The king in this parable represents
God, and the servant who Is greatly in
debt represents the sinner—any sin-
ner, every sinner, you and me. We
were hopelessjy In debt to God. Ten
thousand talents are equal to some
twelve millions of dollars. To meet
this obligation woulfl be an utter im-

Attractive women everywhere depend
upon the St. Clair preparations, so why
net you? Nature lavishes upon the young
her beauties of hair, yet how few strive
to retain it? Beauty of the hair can be
retained or maintained with St. Clair
preparations. Thousands can testify to
this fact. It is no experiment. The re-
sults have been proven. Neglect Is the
great destroyer. First comes dandruff,
later falling hair, and then unsightliness,
ever Increasing. The pure ingredients
contained In the St. Clair preparations
insure antiseptic and medicinal values
necessary to a healthy scalp and luxuri-
ant hair. If yq» desire soft, lustrous,
beautiful hair and lots of It—no dandruff,
no falling hair and no more itching scalp
—use the St. Clair preparations for the
hair and scalp. If eventually—why not
now? Agents to sell the preparations,

JINK’S PLACE
I’ve often wondered how it is that men like Jinks can stay in biz. His shop looks like
a Zeppelin had dropped a big torpedo in and played the mischief and the deuce unfit-
ting everything for use. The dirt upon his window panes Is never washed unless it
rains and so he works by candle-light from early morn till late at night.
I went to look him up one day, (and “up” is right, I’m frank to say). I climbed three
flights of dingy stairs, narrow and dusty with the airs and moldy smells of forty years
while cob webs fanned my cheeks and ears. The door, a heavy, cumbrous trap, slam-
banged me in with vicious slap, impelled thereto with might and main by sash weights
dangling on a chain.
And what a sight did greet my eyes! It overwhelmed me with surprise. Great piles
of junk upon the floor made barricades before the door and presto! quicker than a .
wink my good store clothes were smeared with ink that seemed to ooze from every
crack and cling in gobs to every sack of paper trimmings, and to fall in sweaty beads
0 from roof and wall.
Empty cans and broken wheels, oily waste and orange peels, tobacco quids and worn-
oUt type, odds and ends of wire and pipe, electros, slugs and hunks of zinc and tubs of
black and purple ink, paper, every weight and grade, paper every size and shade, super,
cover, bristol, tag, sulphite bond and linen rang, seconds, job lots, every kind that bar-
gain hunting zeal could find.
Old Jinks looked up as I came in and greeted me with inky grin: “What can I do for
you today? A price-list, eh? Just step this way; sit down in comfort on this keg and
hang your derby on this peg. I’ll quote you prices too dura low for my competitors to
go. You see I do not have to charge for costly ‘systems’ or for large assessments to
Typothetae. That sort of bull don’t go with me.”
“But Jinks,” I said, “I want it nice and I’m prepared to pay the price. An Altone
Cover,, color-slate, it seems to me would sure look great; and Basic Text inside the book
would have a mighty nifty look, suggesting quality so high that all who see will want
to buy.”
Still, Jinks was stubborn as a mule. He told me not to be a fool and throw my hard-
earned cash away for watermarks and names to pay. “Those, grades are awful dear,
you know; the advertising makes them so. I’ll save you quite a pile of golden rocks
by drawing on my job-lot stocks. My cover paper's slightly soiled but otherwise it’s
quite unspoiled; and here’s a dandy ground-wood sheet that's very cheap and plenty
neat.”
Why tell the rest? Jinks had his way. The job dragged on from day to day; copy
sheets lost; type matter pied; each base-ball day somebody died; proof-reader drunk; a
broken gear;—we lost a month, it seemed a year. And when at length the job was
done I found that I had saved no mon, and I'm quite sure the time I’d lost was worth
more than the whole book cost.
So to this day I blush with shame to recollect that my firm's name was signed to
such a shoddy mess. I’ll trade with Jinks no more, I guess, because I’ve learned that
stock and presswork can never be reduced by guesswork and he whose prices look the
cheapest may, in the long run, prove the steepest.

our debt id Hod, that by our future
good works we can aioue for our past
most griveous sins. By the Justice of
God’s law we were hopelessly con-
demned ; by the grace of God we were
freely pardoned.
2. The cruel creditor (vv. 28-35).
Tills man who was forgiven so much
found a man who owed him a small
sum—about fifteen or seventeen dol-
lars. He shut his ears to the man’s
entreaty to be patient with him, (lew
at his throat and cruelly put him into
jail. The great mercy shown him did
not touch his heart, so he refused to
be merciful. Being set free from so
great a debt as our sins against God,
we should make God’s act of unlimited
forgiveness toward us the standard of
unlimited forgiveness toward others.
In dealing with others we should al
ways keep these considerations before
us: (l) We ourselves need it and do
every day continue to need the for-
giveness of God. With all our imper-
fections and positive sins we need the
continued mercy of God. When we
pray, “Forgive us our debts as we for-
give our debtors,” let us be sure that
we have put away all thought of sin
held against others. To pray that
prayer otherwise is an abomination.
(2) That there Is a day of judgment
coming and at that day we shall be
treated as we treat others. No mercy
will be shown to those who have not
shown mercy.
Tlie heart, then, of this lesson is that
God’s gracious act toward us should
be the standard of our actions to-
ward others, and that we must exer-
cise the same spirit of forgiveness
toward our fellowmen if we would
continue to enjoy God’s forgiveness.
The-proof that we are God's children
Is that we manifest the spirit of God.
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your
Father which Is in heaven is perfect”
(Matt. r»:48).
Thank God Every Morning.
Thank God every morning when you
get up that you have something to do
that day which must he done whether
you like it or not. Being forced to
work and forced to do your best will
breed in you temperance, self-control,
diligence, strength of will, content, and
a hundred virtues which the idle never
know.—Charles Kingsley.

Jesus' Idea of God.
Jesus was filled with the joy of life
because He had the most joyous idea
of God that was ever thought of. Je-
sus taught tlie disciples that they
could take the finest things in life and,
raising them to their highest power,
ascribe them to God. He told them
about the Fatherhood of God and said,
“if ye who are evil know how to give
good gifts unto your children, how
touch more your heavenly Father!”
Jesus taught men to interpret God In
the terms of the spiritually best.
