He tells Peter, andthrough him all His dlsolples, thatthere are no limits to the obligation

- of forgiving.The parable which follows, and fol-

lows with a "therefore," does not dealuo much with Peter's .question as tothe limits of the disposition, but setsforth its grounds and the nature ofits manifestations. If We understandwhy we ought to forgive, and whatforgiveness is, we shall not say, "Howoften"? The question will have an-swered itself. We note here, first, the

- -king-'and-his debtor; next,- the -.for-given and his debtor; and finally, theforgiven debtor unforglven becauseunforgiving1.

he gathers together to give In theirreckoning. And._ one of them Isbrought that owes him ten thousandtalents. Translated into figures in-telligible "to us that means over ten

—-—rn11UoB3~Tsf—dollars;—Awl^ssnhe firstpoint, that is to be brought out inthis part of the- parable is the Im-mense magnitude of every man'stransgressions against God. Thelargest denomination in the currencyof the period was the talent, and thereas >n why the account is made outIn terms of talents, is because everysin against God 'is a great sin. Foithe essence of sin is rebellion againstGod and the enthroning of self as Hisvictorious rival; and all rebellion isrebellion, whether-it Is-found in armsIn the field, or whether it Is simplysulkily refusing obedience and cher-ishing thoughts of treason. There isno more conspicuous misuse of lan-guage than when we speak of any-thing, which has in it the virus of re-bellion against God, and the breach

what he will do by way of dischargingit now!"

The solemn truth that underliesthis representation is, 'that there maybe things in the hearts and conductof forgiven Christians which maycancel the cancelling of their debt andbring It all back again. No man cancherish the malicious disposition, thattreasures up offenses against himself,and at the same moment feel that thedivine love is wrapping him round inIts warm folds. If we are to retainour consciousness of having been for-given by God, and .received into theamplitude-of—His-heart, -we-mustj -'-Inour measure and degree, imitate thaton which we trust, and..be; .mirrorsof the divine mercy which we say hassaved us.

Our parable lays equal stress ontwo things. First, that the founda-tion of all' real mercifulness In menis the reception of forgiving mercyfrom God. We must have experi-enced it before we can exercise It.And second, we must exercise It if wedesire to continue to experience it..^Blessed—are—the— merciful—for—thcy-shall obtain money." That applies toChristian people. But behind thatthere lies the other truth, that in or-

"der to be merciful we must first .of allhave received the initial mercy ofcancelled transgression.

So, dear friends, here are the twolessons for every one of us. First, torecognize our debt, and go to Him inwhom God 'Is well pleased for its abol-ishment and forgiveness: and then togo Into the' world and live like Him,and show to others love kindled byand kindred to that to which we trustfor our own salvation. "Be ye there-fore imitators of God, as belovedchildren, and walk in love, as God alsohath loved us."—D. S.

lrfch~Thisr~Tesson commencesbrings out the fact that" the peoplewere honestly puzzled about • Jesus.Many of them were strongly impress-ed with the thought' that Hemust be a prophet, and as they couldnot conceive of a greater prophetthan some of those who had spokenfor God to their forefathers, theythought that He must be one of theold prophets come to life again. Sam-uel had reappeared after His death.Moses had promised that a prophetlike him would arise, and Malachihad promised that Elijah would cometo prepare the people for the comingof "the great and terrible day of Je-hovah;" These things seemed to givesome color t8 the belief that one ofthe old prophets would come again,and it was very natural that the peo-ple should be questioning amongthemselves which of the prophetshad reappeared in the person ofJesus.

At times they had been almostready to conclude that Jesus must bethe Christ (the Messiah), but He hadpersistently disappointed all theirexpectations in regard to the sort ofPerson _their_long_promlsed Kingwould be and what He would do. Andtherefore, _aa._of:ten_as__the. thoughtthat He must be the Messiah forced

(Matt. J«: 27). This declaration showsthat—Jesus referred -to some event'.that was to take place within thecentury in which -He lived. The spir-itual kingdom which Jesus' came toset up on earth began to be a powerin the world ori the day of Pentecost, 'and from that small beginning ' itgrew, so rapidly that within three cen- ' —turies it had become a dominant "He that walketh in his uprightness.force in the world's greatest empire, feareth Jehovah;.but he that la per-|

"Thou are the Christ, the Son ofthe living God." In Matt. 16:16 Pe-ter's answer is given more fully than,Mark gives it, and > Matthew also re-cords our Lord's hearty commenda-

-tion—ofr-Peter—which—Markr^-omitsr"Blessed art thou, Simon; for fleshand blood hath not revealed it untothee,.but My Father who is in Heav-en." It is a little difficult to under-stand our Lord's strong commenda-tion of Peter for this answer, seeingthat Nathaniel had said exactly thesame thing long before., (See John 1:49), and Nathaniel had riot receivedany special commendation for that ex-hibition of his ready faith.

But it probably' became more andmore difficult for men to believe inJesus as the Messiah as it -becamemore and more evident that Hewould not fulfill their great expecta-tions in regard to the Messiah's com-ing and His Kingdom, expectationswhich were based upon prophecies

It is quite evident that the coming not at)apt Him to our own Ideas, butof Christ in the power of the Holy must conform ourselves to His willSpirit on Pentecost, to be forever af- lf we want to worship Him.

"And He mustneeds pass through Samaria." Thatwas the direct road, but it was notthe ordinary line, of travel. The en-mity between Nthe Jews and the Sa-maritans was so great that the Jews--usually crossed the Jordan, and trav-eled up the eastern side of that riverwhen going to Galilee. But Jesus-felt under compulsion to go through.Samaria this time, and the reason forthis feeling becomes evident as we-read the narrative. He was led bythe Spirit to Jacob's well that He-might preach the gospel to a woman;of loose morals, and might through-her instrumentality make many con-verts In the city of Sychar.

One of the striking facts In the life-of Jesus Is the willingness, which He-showed to talk with -any single indi-vidual, no matter how insignificantor unworthy the Individual mlght.be;and the tactful-way Iri which He dealtwith different classes of individuals.His tact Is especially noticeable- in-.His Interview with this woman of Sa-maria, and also with Nicodemus.

Reuben Tregarthen lived for the maea-tro's music. Into- its rendering hepoured his whole soul, almost his vi-tality, till the day dawned when Ros-sel, with a sigh, pronounced him fitto accept the verdict of the most crit-ical public in the world—that of Lon-don itself.

Three weeks later' Reuben Tregar-then, under the name of Jose Rosetti,appeared at the Queen's Hall, to meetwith a success verging on a furore.From jha,t/lay forward the greatesttenors in the world would find It ahard task to hold their laurel chap-lets in the face of the Inspired singingan almost awestruck public listenedto. Two subsequent concerts set theseal of truth on the world's verdict.

Triumphs followed triumphs. Seatswere bought, sold, and yet sold againto higher bidders, to hear the manwho could win tears or laughter at hiswill, till, with the growth of his fame,Reuben Tregarthen was forced to hirethe Albert Hall for his great recitalof the season.' Then It was that, two days beforethe date of the great concert, Rosseldisappeared, leaving a note for hislate-pupil stating he had businesswhich would keep him away fromLondon-till the evening of the concert,

Then Rosael, introducing the fraillittle woman Into her son's astonishedpresence, discreetly withdrew, to re-main perdu till Tregarthen, with ;aflushed, excited face, found him outand wrung his hand.

Treganhen had treasured the letter.He had also taken care of himself,closely following the dietary laid downfor'him, till the evening came whenhe had to appear before the crowdedauditorium of the clossal Albert Hall.

Calm and possessed, he awaited hiscall to step on the platform, jjnwottlngthat the business which had-kept Ros-ael from his side had taken him toCornwall to ratify a promise madetwenty months before. Sipping his tinyglass of port before facing his ap-plauding audience, he little dreamedhis mother sat beside John Rossel inthe body of the gigantic hall, nor d'dhe think her frail hands Joined In thethunders of clappings greeting his ap-pearance. ,.--.-~-.~^~-:-.-

Tregarthen looked abruptly at thespeaker.

"You speak as If you had commit-ted a crjme," said he.

'"I speak the truth, Reuben. Likeyou I. too, in the past, sinned," ans-wered Rossel. "Forgery waa thecrime, and I served five years as ex-piation. Then I fought my way backinto respectability. My mother diedwhen I ;was In Jail: the shock of thetrial killed her, It was because I re-membered her — her grief— what I. hadbeen myself— that I resolved to giveyou your chance in • life, for anothermother's sake.

Mrs. Mills, at the top of the steps,looked enviously into the shady-piazza corner, where her neighborwas comfortably stretched in asteamer chair.

Mrs. Mills glanced, through tiewindow to the Immaculate linen-cov-ered room within. "House cleaning!"she echoed, in perplexity.. Mrs. Dudley nodded. "Yes, men-tal! I have to do It every fewmonths; and this morning It wasbrought home to me forcibly that Itwas high time I was..at H again.

"I suppose we felt just that-way," -Mrs. Mills agreed, reluctantly, "butit's hard—they're so .young—'.'

For many centuries, even untilcomparatively recent times, It wasthe common belief that pearls weredrops of dew that gained entranceInto the shell of an oyster, and werethere transformed into lustrous gems.Anfb and Indian divers still believethat at certain seasons oysters cometo the surface and suck In the rain-drops that later become pearls.Science, however, has rudely shatter-ed this poetic fancy, and discoveredthe real origin to be a worm. Dr.Hugh M. Smith gives some interest-ing information on this subject inthe National Geographical Magazine.

Doubtless many of ou? readers have seen the William McKinleyMemorial Hospital Stamps, to be used in sealing envelopes, etc. Theobject of the movement is to erect a non-sectarian hospital in New York,as a memorial, and to establish branches and camps for the treatmentof tuberculosis. It is a worthy object, and should be supported. Senda dollar to the McKinley Memorial League, No. i Madison Ave., NewYork City, and get one hundred stamps.

Brick cross-walks will probably be laid by the County, on CentralAvenue, at Vine Street and Union Hall. They are needed.

At Council meeting, Wednesday evening, Mr. Godfrey very prop-erly;called-attention r toother, cross^walk^ opposite his pharmacy.^ It "isbelow street level, and will be a small pond during wet weather.

Hammonton is hot the only town along the line where residentsare afraid to leave their valuables at home when out in the evening.

Tradition-states-tliat-iti-a-not-far distantpast,-itr-a-county-not-so faraway, a distinguished political boss, convicted of crime, was sentencedto a term of years in state prison ; that the boss appealed the case tothe Supreme Court of his native state ; and since then nothing has heenneard on the subject. Lesser lights have passed up and down sincethen, but this man still flourishes. In fact, Dame Kumor states that heand his "friends" compassed the defeat of the "old war-horse" of hisown party, recently, when he desired to continue in office two yearsmore. Strange, isn't it, how peculiar some things are.

One object of the concrete walks and curbs is uniformity ; and allshould be willing to conform to it,—whether one's walks are sand, brickor cinders. ;

You can lead your horse to the water,but yqu can't make him drink.

> With a man it's different. You can do neither. . All you can sayis, "I have something good to offer you ; will you come and partake ?"I cannot.lead you to my store, nor compel you to buy. The most I cando is to tell you that I sell the finest made-to-measure clothes in Amer-ica, and leave it to your own judgment whether you buy or not.

To encourage you to call and investigate, I further claim thatTaylor tailoring is lower in price and higher in value than any I haveever seen, and as such I endorse and recommend it.

I offer you the best tailoring made up in the smartest styles frontpure wpol fabrics of quality and beauty, in Suit or Overcoat.

We have a fine line of Raglan and Box Coats.I cannot lead you, I can only point the way.

Standing coq feathers trim somemourning smart hats.

Changeable silk puffings In flat ef-fect, cover a large Paris hat.

A large black velvet hat Is trimmedwith a childish black ribbon at"'thebase of the crown. A lengthy fluffywhite plume is caught around underthe brim in flat effect.

"Perhaps the. Chicago dealer willgive you more time," said his wife.

"He has extended the time beyondall reason already."

"Write/and tell him, as brother tobrother. Just how matters are."

"What do you mean? There areno 'brothers' In business."

"How do 'you know? You havebeen dealing with the farmers In theChristian, spirit. You have not

/-charged them Interest on their acrr'ints. You... have let them havemod grain' without payment. You.h:ive not taken advantage of theirnecessities. Are you the only Chris-tirn in business?"

Richard B'ord was struck by thisBrlrited reply, and the next day hewrote to the wholesale firm a frankstatement of the conditions. He toldof his own dealings with the farmers, of their somplete Inability tosettle their accounts, of the universallack^ of means .throughout, the....coun-

"try. Then he went on:"As brother to brother, I can prom-

ise that If you can possibly extendTny time another year, and we" havethe crop we may reasonably expect,I can and will make all paymentswith interest.. The farmers In .thiscommunity are honest men. Theywill pay just as soon as they havethe money. My wife and I are livingwith the strictest economy; we wantto pay our debts, not liquidate themIn bankruptcy. It is for you to say•whether you can afford to help us."

CHASED BY A WATERSPOUT.

An answer came, by return mall."We appreciate your situation, andwill extend your time—not simply asa business proposition, for it looksto us pretty uncertain that way, butpimply as 'brother -to brother.' v Weshall have to economize, as well asyou, but we will do all we can tostand by you."

The next three years saw bumperCrops In that part of the State. Thefarmers paid Ford every dollar_theyowed him, and he paid his "brother"In Chicago in full, including a smallamount of Interest, which he Insist-ed [on adding. The Christian spiritis not absent even from the marketplace.

Said he—"A few rnirmfea-mote-aiuLrity workWhether it has been good or bad. ,Some are laughing with joy to-night,While others are weeping and sad."

In through the door cam* a handsome childjSturdy of form and fair of face. " '' ;"Kind Sir, I'm nineteen hundred and twelve/' he said,"And I have come to take your place." :

• /"You are welcome, my boy," the old year said,"You look- much as I did whenI took the place of another old year ' .Called aineteen hundred and ten."

A church stood alone'on the village greenAnd the people had gathered within, *-To pray, as they watched the old year outAnd sing as they w.elcomed the new one in.

The hands of the clock both pointed to twelveWhen there came the first stroke of the bell;To one it was as music so sweet,While to the other it was his death knell. r

"God bless ypu and keep you," the old year said,As he halted a step at the door.He gave one lingering look behind >Then passed on out, to return no more.

"With His grace to sustain me," the new year said,"I will do the very best that I canTo throttle grim war and bring quiet and peace)To the daughters and sons of man."

"Ve>. martam," bo replied;

All the forenoon a thick heat hazohung over the smooth, greasy face otthoso tropic waters. There mightnever have been a breath of wind Inthe whole beav«ns tha atmospherewas, 10 oppressive. X ihaavy ground-•well-was rolling leisurely 1 . We layat anchor in fourteen feet of water.

Captain O. said that we were "Infor a duster," and gave the chief en-gineer orders to have steam up ready

/for instant use. On the previous even-ing a couple of landsmen had comaoff with the "old man," and at threeo'clock they were still aboard, makingrevolver practice at the sharks thatfloated lazily on the surface of thebay. Suddenly there went up a shoutfrom .one of tha visitors.

"A spout! A spout!" he cried, ex-citedly. ,

From the fore-deck came n con-fusion of warning cries. Up from thehold, like rats from a burning cel-lar, came Mexicans, Yankees, and rep-resentatives of some six other nations. •

Now we caught sight of the advanc-ing terror. Apparently It had its birthabout a quarter of a mile from wherewa Iky. Like a mighty funnel, withits epout thrust into another invertedone. It towarad up from the surfaceof tha water into the heavy bank ofcloud* and haze overhead. But it didnot keep any definite shape for long.At times the narrow part sank in-ward until we thought that it wouldsnap; at others It swelled but till the"spout" was one sheer column of up-right water.

Suddenly the whirling pillar quicken-ed its progress, and began to ap-proach the ship. Straight on It came,eo fast that Its advance could easilybe marked on the sea. Its peculiarrushing roar grew louder. For a mo-ment we stood dumfounded before the"remarkable spectacle. Then everyman turned and ran aft In a headlongrush for. cover. •

—-Ste"a<3Hy—the—waterspout~carr[e Sir."The foremost lighter, half-filled withcargo, went down as If It were amatch-box under a bucketful of waterpoured from an altitude of a dozenfeet. The spout paused, sheered oft alittle, and sent It head first to thebottom. Again it moved off to theside for a few fathoms; then It de-scribed a small circle, returned—andthe third lighter disappeared.

.Meanwhile the engnies were started,.and the captain was maneuvering thevessel to escape the spout. It fol-lowed the ship closely as she moved;its edge was within a few fathomsof the starboard rail. Then it took anupward turn. There was a loud whiz-zing noise as It whirled on high. Ourprevious cant to starboard was re-versed as the vessel was drawn In-ward by the suction of the whirling

_yort_ejn..and _the_ cup-shaped-,mound,Jt=-rriode on the wafer. Suddenly thespout narrowed about ten feet'abovethe bridge, miapped apart, and wentup, up, out of sjght.
