But you are more important than usual in 1940. No. doubt you were happy, as 'always, to see December slip off the stage and leave the spotlight to you. But' How it's your turn to per form. Forget the nineteen thirties, is our advice. May your act be a prelude to progress and peace con 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 effectF 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 o'S.-'-wemust do when some one has SELF TOGETHER. That is,' it is : wrntrilH i l . . rri i i mxtiy bugdiier. nieie hid always and drive the mule carts make up one of the most obliging groups of public servants to be found anywhere. As so often happened it was the impetuous Peter who voiced the question in the minds of the discipQes by asking how often should he for give a brother. Peter suggested seven times, more than required by the Jewish rule, but Jesus mulaiplies the number indefinitely, saying "un til seventy times seven." Knowing the boundless expanse of perfect love, Jesus knew that no confinement could be placed upon its exercise. 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 himsell ' adopted an attitude of severity X ! against him.
