1. Sunday School Lesson April 20. Lesson III --Jesus Teaching Forgiveness Matthew 18: 21-35. Golden Text Forgive us our debt*, a* we also have forgiven our deb- tors. Matthew 6: 12. ANALYSIS I. PETER'S ESTIMATE OF FORGIVENESS, v. 21. II. JESUS' KSTIMATE Of FORGIVENESS, vs. 22-35. lNTRODl(TiON--One of the articles in the Apostles' Creed is, ''I believe in the forgiveness of sins," and it is from Jesus that we gain most of our knowl- edge con:erning this very important ubject. John the Baptist described Jesus as "The Lamb of God that tak- th away the sin of <.he world"; and in the background of the New Testa- ment lies this great fact, that man has inned against God and requires to be forgiven. The gospel is the announce- ment of the good news that God freely forgive* the sins of those who come in orrow and repentance to him. There is no teacher on forgiveness so orig- inal as Jesus. In this chapter he men- tions the human side, and says that if we are to receive the forgiveness of God, we must forgive those who have injured us. The lesson '.* a comment- ary on the words, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive or debtors." T PETER'S ESTIMATE OF FORCIVENKSS v. 21. V. 21. The subject of offences done to others naturally leads to the prob- lem of offences done to oneself; and Peter wonders what is to be the rule on this matter in the new kingdom. According to the rabbis no one should ask for forgiveness more than thrice. Peter doubles this and adds one, and no doubt feels that he has made a very generous estimate. Like most of us, his views of kindness and compas- ion were very limited. II. JESUS* ESTIMATE OF FORGIVENESS. vs. 22-35. V. 22. The statement 01 Jssua must have overwhelmed Peter with amaze- ment. Seventy times jeven means that there is to e no limit to forgiveness. If friend has injured u<; and asks to be forgiven, then it is the duty of a Christian to grant his requ.r.t, always, of course, on the assumption that he has shown genuine regret and readi- ness to make compensation where possible. For there can be no fellow- ship among those who have been estranged, unless the wrongdoer re- pents, V. 23. The parable that follows is meant to illustrated the gravity of the fault of those who refuse to forgive. The image is drawn from an Oriental court where the king in his supreme command has his servants who carry on his business. The injustice and cruelty of the eastern rule come out ir. the wrong-doing :> the chief ser- vant. V. 24. Two officials are introduced, one in very responsible position which gave him great opportunity for fraud and falsehood. The amount of his defaulting is fabu'ously large, In the millions. V. 25. By the law of the land this man, his family and all his possessions vere at the entire disposal of the king. V. 27. But the lord is moved with compassion, and forgives him all. V. 28. Now wo are introduced >o the contrast: for this same rervant is owed the small sum o.' twenty-five dol- lars. and though the same plea is iiiri'ie which li- himself had made, yet ti-'Te is no pity. V. 34. No wonder the king is antfi'y. The parable i meant to point out (1 ) that thosf- wh:> refuse to forgive others :iep<l not hops to be forgiven. The heart that is hard and resentful cannot welcome the loving mercy of (;ml. Only those who are compas- sionate <nn really enjoy the compas- sion of the hoavinly Father. But (2) wi> notice Hint thit forgiveneM of the fcinK is B typo of the full Uve of the heavenly Father, who is vtoitine to Co-operation with the U.S.A.

Farm Notes Poultry Congress Receive Royal Patronaga WiH'liTd Poultry Congress have from the beginning received the support and patronage of royally. Tlia first Congress, whlrh was held at Tbe HagiH In 1921 under the Honorary Presidency of Ills Royal Highness, Prince Henry of Holland, enjoyed the Honorary Presidency of Her Majesty Queen Wllhemlna. Three years later Ills MaJHsty King Alfonso occupied the office of President of the Congress which was held In Barcelona. At the third Congress In Ottawa In 1927 His Kxcellency Viscount Wllllngilon, the Governor General of Canada, express- j prt groat pri'de In opening (he Con- 1 gress m the personal representative of His Majesty King George. Visitors to this Congress Included Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince George. The forthcoming Congress to ba held in London in July this year will take place under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. International Standardization of Poultry Industry The poultry Industry, perhaiH mor>* than any other, is becoming standard- ized iu a universal sense through the instrumentality of the World's Poultry Science Association. This organiza- tion will this year bring together at the World's Poultry Congress serious- ly minded men and women from many countries who are concerned with the development of the poultry Industry and incidentally with the promoting of international friendship. The fourth Congress, which takes place at the Crystal Palace in Old London, In July this year, promises to exceed any of the previous ones. At that meeting there will be pooled the best and most recent knowledge con- cerning the various aspects of the poultry industry in all parts of the world. Modern poultry research, edu-j cation and economics will be revealed . thrnuKh papers and discussion* and Due of the cars up for sale at the London, Ens., repository, recently, was this wee car-cycle which is engineless and embodies all latest equipment ' for cycling deluxe. national exhibits from half < hundred countries. Displays, on an international basin, of pure bred poultry, will bring out the best that has been achieved in poultry improvement. Commercial exhibits at that great show will reveal what the trade has accomplished in providing the requlrpiuent* of the poultry indus- try, and of carrying it ou in a profit- abl way. -Issued by the Director of Publicity.

And as a number of Hharns were not. included in the calcu- lation, the figure was greatly exceed- ed by the roality. Does this mean that tile country was impoverished to the time of five billions? As a mat- ter of fact HID loss did not mean the least dei-i ea.*e in national wealth. . . For tills i- mi ili" market crash cnn only have the most ephemeral effect. Individuals may feel tlm effects for a long lime; but the people of Canada will ' "in through the ordeal easily enough and in a little tlmu they will only have the recollection of It. This Is what comes of living in a country whose wealth Is of such a real char actor. The Liquor Clearance Bill Throe Rivers Nouvelllsto iCoiia.): 1 ho Central Council of National Cath- olic- Syndicates is opposed to tills bill. The liquor Industry perfectly legal In Itself- will ba seriously attacked. Its production will be reduced 80 per cent. Associated industries will also suffer. There will be a reduction of work In the Klaus industry, and In the making of boxes., and labels. Less work in the.so Industries and more unemployment. Besides losing her ex- cise rights, Canada will find herself undtT tlie nci easily, if she wishes to liavo this law kept, of doing the police work for her neighbour. She will do It at her own expense and not at that of the 1'niled States. What on earth run ho the compelling Infliicncn which has forced Mr. King to adopt su.-h a policy? Fight Money Contrary to Usual Opinion, Most of Boxers are Care- ful and Saving Citizens The general notion of th< profes- sional '-pus" in retirement seem* to be that he U a large gentleman wltli a cauliflower ear and lurid taste In liquor, who lia* rapidly amassed a con- siderable and most undeserved for- tune, and is now In the happy procest of dissipating it with equal celerity. Such, however, is very far from the case, writes Geoffrey Simpson In the London Dally Mall; It Is true that for- tunes are made at llghniiig speed In the ring, but boxers as a general rule are pretty close customers with their cash. "Primo Camera, the Italian boxing Riant who leu than sixteen months ago was a penniless carpenter," writes Mr. Simpson, "has just been paid $30,00i) for two flghu In the United States. "He drew over $10,000 for two con- tests with Young Strlbllng in Kuropo, and by next April, when he wil have had six matches In the United States, hi:i rin< earnings may amount to $80,- j oon. Phil Scott was paid $32,000 tori boxing Jack Sharkey. "People who read with amazement | of the big sums to be earned In the ring sometimes wonder what fighters do with their money. The impression prevails that most of them dissipate It. This unfortunately U true In many cases, but for every boxer who (loan ; not put by for a rainy day there are I at least three who safeguard their fu-! tun.

He lost his savings In land Investments In Florida, aud at the age of forty-one was compelled to return to the ring. "Ted (Kid) Lewis, who had HOVOII- (pen fights with Brltton, each time for a big purse, came back from New York seven years ago worth $100,000. He must have earned $250,000 during his fifteen years in boxing, yet not so long ago a honeflt tournament was or- ganized by his friends to help liim out of difficulties.

'But there are hundreds of boxers in tile first class who, hiving accumu- lated considerable bank balance, quiet- ly retire to enjoy middle age." Imperial Legislation Brisbane Courier. There Is Iu exis- tence and lii full operation legislation passed by the Parliament of Britain and applying to the whole Kmplre. The Merchant Shipping Act is an example. Possibly it may have been felt that It would be more convenient If one Leg- islature passed the necessary uniform legislation to govern British shipping. Now even this last restraint on the self-governing overseas Dominions' power of legislation Is too go, and those Dominions are to achieve com- plete legislative independence. If each self-governing Dominion were to legislate just as It liUed in regard to shipping great confusion might result. Obviously, this Independence will en- tail the need for the closest co-opera- tion between all Legislatures In British Dominions. Hours of Industry Montreal Monde Ouvrler (Ind.): (Quebec legislation will reduce the working week iu industrial establish- ments for women and boys from 60 to 55 hours). It is true that the majority of the western provinces have adopted the 4S-hour week for women, girls and young boys: but we must not for- get that tluMs provinces are agricul- tural and not Industrial, and that the number of wom-.-n working In lu.lus- trial establishments is relatively fjw. On the other hand, the riuviuca of Ontario the closest to Quebec and its most serious competitor In the Indus- trial market--has retained on Its statute book the sixty-hour week. Once again our province Is In the van of prom "-- Toronto's "Seven" Not "Wild" Artiste Montreal. "Canadian artists cannot afford to experiment, but must follow well-tried lines or they will starve," declared Prof. Ilamsay Traqualr, in an address on "New Trends In Pictorial and Sculptural Art," at the People's Forum. Canada was a long way behind ar- tistically, though this did not mean that tne Dominion did not possess some artists of merit. Referring to the "Toronto Group of Seven," Professor Traquair said that although they were "advanced" they were not the "wild" men the Cana- dian public considered them to be, for what they were doing had been done many years before in Kngland. Their weakest point, he fell, lay in the realm of pure technique, while their best features were their feeling for the Canadian North Country, their sense of design aud their imaginative qualities. Professor Traquair expressed the opinfou that in tha field of painting at the present time the neoclassic school in England was far in advance of any other and he regretted that as yet England had had no !_fluence on mod- ern Canadian painting.

A trip of 50,00i) miles, to be accomplished within three months, all of which, with, the excep- tion of less than 5,000 miles, is being covered by airplane, is tha program upon which Coant Henri da la Vaulr, president of the International Aero- nautical Conference, ha? embarked. Count de la Vaulx, who arrived here recently after flying through Argen- tina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colom- bia, is proceeding northward through Central America to California. From San "rancisco he will make a series of flights in tha United States, leaving the country after an air trip by way of Washington to Miami, Fla. Count de la Vaulx plan* to visit tha West "Indies, the north- eastern countries of South America, thence going to Natal, Brazil, when* ha will take the fast packet boat to I Dakar, on the African coast, where ha I will again board an airplane on the i return trip to Paris. "It is my intention," Count de la j Vaulx said, "to utilize tha national air services of commercial lines of each country I visit, whenever possible. Al- though a Frenchman by nationality, I am making this trip in the capacity of president of t'.io International Aero- nautical Federation, tha purpose of which Is to encourage flying." Count da la Vaulx said indication* were that the federation would hold its 1931 International Aviation Coa- gress In Buenos Ayres. 'While in the United States it i* likely that I shall visit Orville WrigUt, at Dayton, Ohio, with whom I am ac- quainted," said Count da la Vaulx.

With the completion of twelve uw observation lounge cars, at present under construction for the Canadian National Railways, a new feature la radio train equipment will be introduced, it was announced her* recently. Tin new cars will be "train- lined," by which means radio pro- grams received on sets installed ia these new cars will ba received In the compartment cars operated on tha same train. Toe new observation-lounge cars in course of construction will have built- in alternating current radio and gram- ophone equipment, and ia the com partment cars with which they will ba operated provision has been made for an outlet phone circuit from tha radio-gramophone which will be en- tirely independent o fthe lounge car circuit. Twenty-two Jack outlets for headsets will be provided in the com- partment car and thirty-six in the lounge car. This installation will r-t quire die use of only one radio set to serve both cars. In the compartment cars provision is made for two head- sets in each compartment or chain- bret' . and three headsets In eaco drawing room. The American Tariff Montreal Presse (Ind.) : (The Ameri- can Senate has finally adopted the re- vised Hawley-Smott tariff by 53 vote* to 31). The bill, In Its present state, affects a great number of Canadian products, especially agricultural. It Is going to be more expensive to iln.l au American market for our cattle on the hoof, our carcasses of beef, mut- ton, lamb and veal, cream, butter.' cheese and milk. Poultry, both allva and slaughtered, and eggs are also on the increased tariff list. Our export- ers of clover seed of all kinds, of hay and straw, of potatoes and flsh will have to face heavier duties. It re- mains to ba seen how much they will suffer in consequence. It is not im- possible that the Americans will bear a heavier burden. Experience shows that very heavy tariffs often turn "gainst their authors.
