Of course, this was very foolish of Peter, for, after all, it’ was his own fault that he was a prisoner in that hollow log. Even the worst of things come to an end at last and so it was with Peter's imprisonment. On the afternoon of the second day Prickly Porky awoke and fretfully poked his head out to #ee how the weather was. It was pleasant. The storm had ended some hours before. Peter could have told him that. For what seemed to Peter ages and ages Prickly Porky sat looking out of the entrance to that hollow log, all the time fretting be- cause he had to go to the tromble of climbing a tree before he could get anything to eat. Peter just longed to &ive him a push out info the snow. But Peter did nothing of the kind. He took the greatest care not to touch him, to say nothing of pushing him. The very sight of those little spears made Peter shiver and keep away from Prickly Porky. He begged Prickly Porky to hurry and at least step out far enough for him, Peter, to slip out. But Prickly Porky re- fused to hurry. He doesn’t like hur- rying. And because Peter wanted him 0 go out he wouldn't for the longest time. You see he is contrary-minded. That is, he always wants to do just the opposite from what others want him to do. Also he is obstinate. Finally, however, Prickly Porky did move out of the hollow log. Peter breathed easier when he saw him do this. But then, instead of moving off and giving Peter a chance to get out, what did Prickly Porky do but sit FINALLY, HOWfi\'ER‘ PRICKLY PORKY DID.

'3 At last he did take a step or two, and Peter was preparing to jump out, when suddenly Prickly Porky began to rattle the thousand little spears in his coat and backed up right against the end of the dld log. Peter backed in a hurry and he was’very, very angry. He thought Prickly Porky had done’ this just to plague him and keep him a prisoner longer. He had just opened his mouth to say some hateful things when Prickly Porky began to talk in his queer, fretful wa; “Go on_about .your business, Prickly Porky. “I am about my business,” retorted another voice. et out of my way so that I can get inside that old log. I'm hungry and I fancy there may be a dinner in there for me.” At the sound of that voice Peter felt weak all over and trembled like an aspen leaf in the wind. And right then and there the had a complete change of heart, All his hate of Prickly Porky vahished, and in place of it came a friendly feeling. And now Peter hoped that Prickly Porky would stay right where he was as much gs had hoped that he would move away.

SENTIMENT IS DEVELOPED IN BRAZIL —_— Newspapers There Are Aarousing Opposition by Unfriendly Comment.’ RIO DE JANEIRO, January 8.—Con- siderable anti-United” Staiss senti- ment in Brazil is resulting from newspaper comment on the unfavor- able situation growing out of the high rate of exchange for the Ameri- can doflar in the last five months. During tkis period the value of the Brazilian milreis has dropped from 25 to 16% cents to the dellar, its low- est mark in more than twenty years. Almost daily one or more newspa- pers editorially charge United States banks and trusts with being respon- sible for the local situation, urging merchants to discontinye purchases Ifrom North America and suggesting Bovernmental action to prevent con- trol of native products by United | States trusts. Most of thef local news- | papers ignore explanations of foreign | bankers that the drop in'exchange is | due to lack of balance in trade. i is se: Tive United States banks operating in Brazil are charged in these edito- {rials with exchange speculation, while North American trusts ate declared to be attempting @ monopbly on Bra- zilian products, particularly rubber, which some of the more violent edi torials attribute to the “expansion- ist policy” of the United States gov- ernment. President Pessoa is charged by the anti-government section of the press Iwith unduly favoring United States capital and commercial interests. These attacks on the president have been intensified during the last week since he has ordered registration of a concession to a North American iron and steel syndicate headed by Per- cival Farquhar, to operate, mines and smelters in Brazil.

Matthew, 18.21-35. Golden text: “If ye forgive men ‘their trespasses your heavenly Father will also for- give you.”—Matthew, 6.14. - BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Jesus® teaching concerning forgive: Dess, which is the lesson for our study, grew out of the strife of the apostles with each other as to which should be greatest. Christ recog- nized with all His lofty that He was dealing with men filled with all the weakness of the flesh, and that He had to teach them how to live in a faulty world so that they could win the nations of the earth for Him by a life characterized by forgiveness of deeds, of enemies and failures of friends. e section this week's lesson the Master poi out the steps that ought to be taken by Christians to preserve the peace of the church in the exercise of discipline and in promoting the wel- fare of the one who did the injury. In that paragraph, as well as in the rule of Christian forgiveness, Jesus is not seeking to aid men obtain satisfaction for any personal wrongs they may have suffered, but to help them gain the brother who had sinned. Christ called for a magnanimous heart. This prompted Peter, Who evi- dently was the storm center of the controversy that one of the sensi- tive (often only another name for one that is uncharitable and sus- picious) brethren had started by finding “sinister meanings_in inno- cent acts,” to request the Master to define the limits of one’s obligations to forgive. The rabbinical law placed it at three, so Peter probably thought he was very generous When he suggested seven times, not as sym- bolical of perfection, but in its lit- eral sense, as the limit of forgive- ness. Jesus recoghized that Peter had not yet conceived the meaning of forgiveness. The lz:omemfv::wc?x- nt the times o - e Cana g0 secretly relieved , it proves that. like Peter, we need :g kno’w the unlimited grace of God. Our Lord employed the two perfect numbers together to teach that for- giveness has no bounds. One is not surprised that ‘E;fler {efire‘:fi;h’\[‘:&- , as Luke tel 3 , swer to this, O for a larger spiritual perception, a mind nnd‘l heart to comprehend the meaning of forgivenes: The parable concerning the king and his servants urges that the su- preme motive for forgiveness on the part of Christians i{s the unlimited grace of God, which all have received freely from our Heavenly Father for oftenses far more serious than we can ever commit against one another. The marvelous divine forgiveness, which is grace, not right, is pictured forth in the magnanimity of the royal creditor who summoned his servant to give an account of his stewardship. This revealed his enormous obliga- tion, bankruptcy, amenable to the law for his defaications, and how the king released the debtor and forgave him the debt because of his professed repentance, when he had power to sell him' into slavery. God forgives. our sin and remits our obligations to Him by saying to the sinnel do not think of you or feel toward you as one who has done this; I do not hold it in my heart against you; I leave it out of my thoughts so that it does not embarrass the relation be tween you and me; it is between us as if it had not bee ‘The restora- tion of relationship follows always upon repentance and reparation by the sinner. God's satisfaction is in the joy that forgiveness brings in the renewal of the broken relationship. One's whole moral sense revolts and rises up in indignation at the subse- quent action of the merciless debtor, Who, although the subject of the mag- nanimous mercy of his king, failed to show the same spirit toward a ser- vant who owed him only a very small sum. He had been forgiven a debt estimated to be about $1,000,000 in our money and refused to be lenient to one owing him about.$17, for he took him by the throat and demanded instant payment. When the poor debtor pleaded for time he refused to grant it, but cast him into the prison until his debt was paid. This is an il- lustration of man's inhumanity to man. One has well said “that, of course, we cannot base a doctrine on a parable, but we cannot but notice ‘Thursday evening. Officers and sev- eral new deacons will be elected. A social will follow the meeting. neck,” because he obtains the remis- sion upon false pretenses. Christ em- phasized the principle by which for- giveness is obtained, when He taught His disciples to pray “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,” and by the assurance that “if ye forgive men their trespasses your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.” In all the sayings of Jesus there is only one sin which He claimed God would not forgive—the sin against the Holy Spirit, which sin revealed that the man who committed it had not the ttitude of heart which desefved for- giveness. | first one " that .presents God as Kine, idealism |20d 23 a parable of the kingdom it jexpresses one of the great principles of the kingdom of our Lord. Every government has its laws. The spirit- ual kingdom of heaven has its laws. l'l'he one found in the parable of“the junmerciful servant reveals the law of unlimited forgiveness, Retaljation, Tesentment or revenge is not found in God’s Kingdom. Of course, Christ’s jteaching does not mean that crime is to go unpunished by the state. He will not allow sin to go free. Every one can be certain that their sin will find them out, for “whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap” proves that every sinner must pay the pen- alty for their misdemeanors.

They possess a new nature that comes to them with regeneration, =0 that un- der the direction of the Holy Spirit, who governs them from within, they require no police force, no criminal law, no state authority to make them keep Deace and be kind one to anoth- er, tender-hearted, forgiving each oth- FIRST CON The influence of hard times; workmen who cheat employers; The parable of this lesson is the On Sunday at 11 am. the.
