PAGE TWO SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON THE PROBLEM OF FORGIVENESS International Sunday School Lesson for January 14, 1940 ( GOLDEN TEXT: “Forgive us our debts, as we also have for given our debtors.” Matt. 6:12. / (Lesson Text: Matthew 18:21-23) In studying this lesson, it would be well to read and consider care fully the whole eighteenth chapter of Matthew which deals with the in tricate and difficult matter of hu man relationships and of the effects of one’s behaviour upon his fellow man. While we should weigh care fully our actions in the light of these effects upon those with whom we come into contact, in the lesson for this week we are to consider what we must do when some one has wronged us. Perhaps there is nothing more difficult for the average human be ing to do than to forgive a person who has intentionally, apparently wilfully done something or said something harmful or untruthful against him or her. IBy nature, it seems, we find it hard to overlook the wrong and dispel from our minds thoughts of revenge. In our lesson on Forgiveness to day we base our thoughts on a pas sage which shows how Jesus advised his followers; likewise, to make every effort to regain the friendship of one of their fellow-humans. The rabbis required that an of fender should go to the man he wronged and, seek forgiveness, which their rule said should be granted three times. Jesus lays down the general thought that love recognizes no limit in its effort to redeem, that forgiveness is not a matter of arith metic but an attitude of the heart. Jesus would not leave it to the ini tiative of the guilty one to seek re conciliation, but advised the injured party to seek an interview in an ef fort to adjust matters. If a private discussion failed, then the help of others was to be enlisted, in an effort to bring the recalcitrant to a reali zation of his obligation. This was to be done in a spirit of love and gen erosity, not of punishment and revenge. As so often happened it was the impetuous Peter who voiced the question in the minds of the disciples by asking how often should he for give a brother. Peter suggested * * REPORT OF OF THE BANK OF EDENTON of Edenton, North Carolina, a member of the Federal Reserve System, at the , close of business on Dec. 30, 1939, published in accordance with a call made v by the Federal Reserve Bank of this district pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and Commissioner of Banks of North Carolina.

Then, Jesus illustrated, his teach ing by the story which forms the basis of our lesson. A servant, who had been forgiven by his king for his own deficiency, forgot the kindness bestowed upon himself and when one of his own subordinates was found in a like state in relation to himseli adopted an attitude of severity against him. The fact that his own master had been moved by pity for human misery on his behalf was for gotten as he sought to apply torture and pressure in the other case. Jesus pointed out that every human being was the recipient of so great heaven ly forgiveness that an attitude of I oppression or severity would be en-j tirely inconsistent. It is easy to give way to hatred and carry animosity, but it is nobler to forget and firgive injustice and wrong in the interest of a more peaceable and complete life. The world suffers greatly because of its various antipathies and enmities. Discord between individuals stirs up strife in various Jocalities, hostility between various classes, sectional} animosities, national prejudices and racial repugnances, all contribute to prevent the reign of fellowship and mutuail helpfulness which love would implant in every human soul. The spirit of man grows reciprocally; therefore, Tennyson correctly ap peals: “Oh man! forgive thy mortal foe, Never strike him blow for blow For all the souls on earth that live, To be forgiven must forgive. i For all the blessed souls in heaven j For all the blessed hou'ls in heaven j Are both forgivers and forgiven.” j BURK—TWINE i Miss Clara Emma Twine, daughter , of Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Twine, of j Tyner, became the bride of Melvin; Ray Burk, son of the late Mr. and J Mrs. Lewis Burke, of Altoona, Penn., j on Wednesday, January 3, 1940. The| ceremony was performed in Suffolk,! Va., at 8:45 o’clock by the Rev. Dr. \ Truitt. The bride was becomingly! attired in a frock of dusty pink with j black accessories. The couple will be at home with the bride’s parents.
