International Sunday School Lesson for July 8, "The Duty of Forgiveness," Mat. 18:
21-35. Golden Text, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Mat. 6: 12.
BL WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
ALIVi: man cannot escape enemies.
That they are a factor in life may
be acepted at the outset. Only the
colorless and the ineffective can avoid
them. Whoever would do the work of a
strong character In the world must ex
pect to have foes, and not be surprised
or over-troubled when they appear. Every
character who has counted in history had
his enemies. Jesus had more of tiiem than
most great men. And enemies are useful.
They serve a certain high purpose of
spiritual culture. The soul's fiber is
tested and proved by them. Whether one
is fit to master life and to engage in its
strife is demonstrated by how he bears
himself when he Is face to face with
those who seek nil hurt.
Light on the proper way to meet ene
mies Is shed, not only by the life of Jesus,
but also by this great parable which deals
with the subject. It is to be remembered
that the parable was spoken In the midst
of the most hunted period of Jesus' life.
He himself was surrounded on all hands
by the spies and emissaries of his pow
erful foes. These very words would be
reported to men whose principal present
Interest in life was the putting away
tills new Teacher from Galilee. The par
able is a tremendous one, vitally related
to everybody's philosophy of conduct.
Is Vengeance Right?
In one of the magazines there is ap
pearing a series of "exposure" articles,
which are commonly believed to be in
spired by a spirit of revenge. They have
accomplished and are accomplishing great
good; but their motive is avowedly and
markedly revenge upon enemies. There
Is a deal of this sort of thing cropping
out now. Many men are taking advan
tage of the quickened public conscience
to "get even" with old foes. In fact,
vengeance Is one of the master motives
of life. We would rather not think so.
but an open-eyed view of the world con
vinces us that men still follow the Mosaic
law. "an eye for an eye and a tooth for
a tooth." In pursuit of their revenge
even big men will stoop to incredible
littlenesses. Nothing calls out the mean
ness of a man's nature quite so thor
oughly as his endeavor to hurt a foe.
A Man With a Problem.
The Immediate occasion of the telling
of this story by Jesus, was a question by
Simon Peter. The Teacher had previously
pointed out how to deal with a brother
who had wronged one. The position as
sumed by Jesus was advanced ground. It
troubled Simon Peter. 8o he came to the
Master with the question, "Lord, how
often shall my brother sin against me,
and I forgive him? until seven times?
Jesus said unto him, I say not unto
thee, until seven times; but, until seventy-times
seven."
Peter thought that he was doing the
handsome thing In setting his magnanim
ity at seven times. The rabbis said a man
should be forgiven three times. Peter
doubled this number and added one for
good measure, and doubtless plumed
himself on his lofty spiritual attitude.
Jesus showed him that he had not yet
escaped the bondage of the literalism of
the old law. Christ's religion was not
one of rules, but of principles: so by using
the figure seventy times seven (or seventy
times and seven, whichever he said; ver
sions differ on this point), Jesus conveyed
the idea that there was no definite limit,
and that forgiveness was to continue
without measure. He Illustrated his mean
ing by a parable.
Before passing on to this, however, it
Is worth noticing that Simon Peter was a
man alive to spiritual questions. He was
really concerned about moral duties and
about the perplexities of the spirit. There
are some persons, frankly, who are dead
to all such matters. They are ndt alive
to the soul's problems, and look upon the
doubts and anxieties of their fellows wit.i
B sneer. They think the man who Is more
anxious about his soul's elation 'to the
Infinite than about the state of the stock
market is nothing less than a plain fool.
It does not occur to them that perhaps
they are fools; for the highest capability
of the human mind is to be concerned
over the big questions that have to do
with the spirit and with eternity. There
Is little hope for the mere sordid mater
ialist, who never has a thought above
his stomach or his pocket. It will be a
sad day for the world when It ceases to
have Peters arising with their perpetual
spiritual problems.
A Study in Contrasts.
, The Bible contrasts man's way of dealing
with an enemy and a debtor, with God's
way. A man once wrote a book entitled.
"If I were God." I know nothing about
the book, but the title is suggestive; be
cause the audacious proposition of Jesus
was nothing less than that men should
act as If they were God. The way of
the Father Is meant to be the way for
his children. So Jesus related this par
able. "Therefore Is the kingdom of heaven
likened unto a certain King, which would
make a reckoning with his servants. And
when he had begun to reckon, one was
brought unto him, which owed him ten
thousand talents. But forasmuch as he
had not wherewith to pay. his lord com
manded him to be sold, and his wife and
children, and all that he had. and pay
ment to be made. The servant therefore
fell down and worshiped him, saying.
Lord, have patience with me. and I will
pap- thee all. And the lord of that ser
vant, being moved with compassion, re
leased him and forgave him the debt. But
that servant went out. and found one of
his fellow-servants, which owed him a
hundred pence: and he laid hold on him.
and took him by the throat, saying. Pay
what thou owest. So his fellow-servant
fell down and besought him. saying, Have
patience with me, and I will pay thee.
And lie would not; hut when and cast
him Into prison, till he should pay that
which was due. So when his fellow-servants
saw what was done, they were ex
ceeding sorry, and came and told unto
their lord all that was done. Then his
lord called him unto him, and saith to
him. Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee
all that debt, because thou besought me;
shouldst not thou also have had mercy
on thy fellow-servant, even as I had
mercy on thee? And his lord was wroth,
and delivered him to the tormentors, till
he should pay ail that was due. So shall
also my heavenly Father do unto you,
if ye forgive not every one his brother
from your hearts."
The Biggest Debt We Owe.
This story hinges on the contrast In
the two debts. One man owed. aroxi
maiel. Jio.ooo-.ooo. the other man owed
J17. The idea in the mind of the teller
of the story, doubtless, was to convey
an impression of the ratio between the
debts of man to his maker and the debts
of man to man. The magnitude of the
obligations which God cancels shows his
magnanimity. It Is hopeless for mortals
to think of paying his debts to God. They
are beyond measure or estimate. As we
look at them, looming large like moun
tains, we perceive with new clearness
the patience and compassion of the merci
ful Father In heaven with his erring
children.
It is always the biggest debts that we
cannot pay. A man may pay his grocer
and his butcher, but never can he repay
his parents, his friends, his teacher, his
school, his church, the society in which
he dwells, or the period of civilization
which he has fallen. It is to such
as these that our greatest debts are
owing. A lifetime of unselfish service
cannot suffice to recompense for them.
However independent a man's spirit may
be, he must face the fact that he is
hopelessly in debt to his time. The de
mand that each person should use his life
in self-denying service to his fellows is
no mere Christian Utopian dream of sac-riflc9-.lt
is a plain requirement of honor.
A Mean Man's Method.
The forgiven debtor, as soon as he was
released, had his fellow-slave by the
throat and It is to be noted that the
man not only owed $10,000,000 to his mas
ter, but he owed himself also, for he was
but a slave, a bit of property. Probably
this ingrate never thought of the incon
gruity of his action. It would be whole
Fome for us If we could see how incon
sistent much of our conduct appears in
the eyes of our fellows. One reason is
that even the best of us has a small con
ception of his obligation to other pet sons,
but a great conception of others' obliga
tions to him. There Is an easy, unde
fined socialism In most men's minds,
which thinks that it can In one way or
another escape its plain obligations.
Even in heroic San Francisco there has
arisen a problem, with thousands of per
sons as its main factor, because the lat
ter are quite willing to go on indefinite
ly receiving relief from the country. They
somehow think, as the lazy and shiftless
man so often says, that the world owes
them a living. Even the steady, industri
ous, clear-thinking man is likelier to re
member every penny that is owed to
him. than what he owes to his fellows.
We all want Justice for the other man,
but we claim mercy for ourselves. We
are horrified at this man in the parable
who takes the sternest measures with the
servant who owes him a little debt. Yet
he typifies life. Despite the fat of our
great debts which have been forgiven
us, we go on exacting the uttermost far
thing from every creditor. ,
Forgiving the Other Fellow.
A young man making his entrance into

The stern law that runs through the
divine decrees, that the unforgiving may
not expect to be forgiven, is manifestly
Just and beneficial. For even by the

teaches that man must be merciful and

"Oh for the rarity

Men and women are harsh with every

bitterness against the unkind spirit of

being merciful. In that case they are
better than God. For the Almighty shows
his divinity by nothing more than by his
quality of mercy. His willingness to for

crown his divine sovereignty. It Is
because God is God that he forgives
us our debts; and If we would be like
him we must forgive our debtors.
.
N'o seriously thoughtful person is likely
to be boastful. He knows that at the
best there is a balance against him on
life's ledger. Try as he may, he cannot
square all his accounts. There are obli
gations, and the biggest obligations at
that, which cannot be paid. Everybody
is destined to go through the world a
debtor. None is above the necessity of
today fellowshiping in a Joint partner
ship project. So it is with the reconcil
iation of political oes, which has crys
tallized Into the proverb, "Politics make
strange bed-fellows." The principle un
derlying this is that men cannot get aloug
very well and cherish grudges. To do
business in this old world there must be
a great deal of overlooking and forgiv
ing. It Is Impossible to nurse In one's
bosom animosity if one means to work
with his fellowp. Allowances must be
made for the other man. Life is too
short for enmities. On the lowest plane
of utilitarianism it is essential to be mer
ciful. On a higher plane the fact remains
that to try to injure enemies hurts us
more than we can hurt them. To pernrtt
one's self to hate a fellow-man Is to do
a greater injury to one's self than It Is
in his power to inflict. Hate's blows
always rebound. Still higher Is the attl
ture of Jesus Christ, which he set forth
in this parable, as well as In the prayer
which he taught us all to say. The unfor
giving cannot be forgiven. As we hope
for the mercy of heaven, so we must ex
tend mercy to earth. The divine way
of getting along with our fellows Is to
forgive them times without number, if
we would be sons of our Father who is
in heaven. There is no room in the heart
where Christ dwells for any passion of
unlovlngness or bitterness. Whoever con
quers his own natural Impulses to vin
dictiveness and vengeance wins a greater
victory than he who overcomes his enemy.
They who live by the royal law of the
Son of God must ever be extending am
nesty to offenders against them. This Is
a world of frail people; we are frail our
selves; therefore we must be merciful.
The dlvinest quality of God is his readi
ness to forgive. The same is the dlvinest
quality in man.
The apex of the noblest Life that has
ever shed its radiance upon the world
was that scene on gloomy Golgotha,
when the princely Jesus died an unde
served death for the sake of those who
deserved death. In that hour of bitter
agony he cried, from the depths of an
infinite spir't: "Father, forgive them,
they know not what they do" And man
is likest to Jesus when he can likewise
cry. though writhing in an agony of
soul anguish: "Father, forgive them."
This willingness to forgive an enemy is
nothing less than the stamp of God
upon a character, proving it to be a son
of the Father.

and that they must be careful of quoting
and relying on him implicitly.
I replied that I knew Brother Spald
ing's rather erratic way of leaping to
conclusions, but on more acquaintance
I usually found him very correct in
the statement of facts, though strong
in prejudice against the Jesuits and
some who seemed to uphold them. I
then said to him, "Mr. Treat, I wish
you to know these facts as they are
for the honor of God in your missions
in Oregon, and for the encouragement
of the churches. I refer you to Rev.
Cushing Eells to confirm what I say.
He Is very careful in all his state
ments. You all rely upon him." He
said, "We do, and I will write him."
He did so. and your father (C. Eells)
confirmed w'hat I said, and added more
facts which they used at their annual
meeting at Plttsfield, Mass., and made
a strong Impression.
Similarly in Rev. M. Eells" biog-
raphy of his father, published in 1895,
we read (pages 106-7): "Rev. H. H.
Spalding was about the first person to
make known the fact of Dr. Whitman's
going East on a political errand. Dr.
G. H. Atkinson learned of it. and be
lieved that this work ought to be set
to the credit of missions. He said so
publicly. In his Journey East in 185
he told the secretaries of the American
Board that while they had been ac
customed to look upon their Oregon
mission as a failure, it was a grand
success. They were very skeptical and
thought that many extravagant asser
tions had been made about Whitman's
achievement. Dr. Atkinson replied:
'Write to Dr. Eells, as you know him
to be careful in his statements', and are
accustomed to rely on what he says.'
"Secretary S. B. Treat did so. Dr.
Eells, under date of May 2S, 1866. made
a full statement, which was published
In the December number of the Mis
sionary Herald."
But for this letter of Atkinson's we
should not know the genesis of Rev. C.
Sells' version of the Saving Oregon story,
which, though published a year after the
Spalding-Gray version, is. as to the origin
of the ride, not only Irreconcilable with,
but is wholly .destructive of the Spalding
Gray version, and Is as false as that
version, in every important particular.
If there was no "controversy" before
1ST8, why was Spalding, in 1868. 1869 and
1870, going up and down all over the old
Oregon Territory and procuring the sig
natures of all sorts of people trf the cu
rious hodge-podge of "statements," "affi
davits," "resolutions." etc., many if not
most of. which Spalding undoubtedly
wrote, and which (with certainly some,
and probably very many alterations by
himself, when their original form did not
suit his purposes) he "pitched together"
into his notorious pamphlet (Sen. Ex.
Doc. No. 37, 41 Cong., 1st Sea.)?
One reading that crazy document would
suppose there was not merely a contro
versy but an exceedingly bitter contro
versy about the Whitman question eight
or ten years earlier than the date Mr.
Eells now insists was its beginning. But
It is very significant of Walker's unbend
ing honesty that there Is not a line from
Walker's pen Indorsing a saving-Oregon
story in Spalding's pamphlet.
With one other proof that there was
not only a controversy, but a very lively
controversy, I will close the discussion of
this mistake, not of William I. Marshall,
but of Rev. Myron Eells, D. D.
Page 147 of the biography by G. H. At
kinson, by his widow. In an account of his
trip to the states in 1868-9, says: "He
then took the opportunity to try to estab
lish the fact of Dr. Whitman going to
Washington in midwinter to save Oregon
to the United States. In Oregon at that
time very few admitted this, but Dr.
Atkinson was firm in the belief of this
important fact, and urged Dr. Whitman's
associate missionaries to speak out to es
tablish it. but there was great opposition
to the idea, especially by enemies and non
sympathizers w:th missionaries."
If but few in Oregon then (more than
three years after it was published lty
Spalding) believed the Whitman-saved-Orcgon
story, and "there was great op
position to the idea," there surely was a
very lively and sharp "controversy,"
though it took another ten years for those
who disbelieved it to get hold of enough
of the contemporaneous evidence, so care
fully concealed by the missionaries, that
they felt prepared to begin a newspaper
discussion of the subject.
But it is not to be supposed that even
Rev. Myron Eells. D. D., imagines that
either the prophet Jeremiah or the Apos
tle Paul referred to any "newspaper dis
cussion." or any other "public discussion."

$TS,$t CURES ECZEMA
The real cause for Eczema is the presence of humors and sour acids in
the blood. These impurities get into the circulation because of imperfect
action of those members of the system whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the refuse and waste of the body. As this effete matter lies in the
system it ferments and generates acrid humors which are absorbed into the
blood, overcharging this vital fluid with acid. In its effort to keep the sys
tem healthy the blood throws off the humors through the pores and glands
of the skin, causing this tormenting skin disease. The escape of acids and
humors through the pores and glands irritates and burns the skin, producing
pustules filled with a clear, sticky fluid, which dries in crusts and patches
causing the most intense itching, and often pain. The trouble is in the blood,
and S. S. S. is the remedy for Eczema, because it is a real blood purifier. It
goes down into the circulation, removes all acids and humors and makes the
blood rich, pure and healthy. When S. S. S. has done this the symptoms
.pass away, the blood is cooled and the disease cured permanently. Nothing
acts so promptly or pleasantly in all skin diseases as S. S. S., and it is at
the same time a fine tonic to the entire system. Book on Skin Diseases and

Corporal Mapley left Dawson City by
dog train for Fort McPherson in the
dead of Winter, and went by an un
known route across mountain ranges
for a distance of over 500 miles to
make another inquiry.
Inspector McGinnis and Sergeant
Egan penetrated 200 miles into the
wilds of Keewatin. where the In
dians say the foot of white man never
before trod, and arrested a murderer
there for a crime committed more than
a year previously.
Constable Pedley traveled from Fort
Chlpewayan to Fort Saskatchewan In
the depth of Winter with a raving
maniac strapped to a dog sled, and
the hardship and anxiety dt the Jour
ney made him Insane.
Constable Conradi galloped from
safety to the help of a settler and his
family, In deadly peril from a tremen
dous prairie Are, and fought it, singed
and almost suffocated, until the great
er part of his clothing was burned off
him.
Behind these bald and brief state
ments of official facts loom up the out
lines of stories of endurance and unos
tentatious heroism. At the time the
report was Issued the force consisted
of 54 officers, 650 non-commissioned
men, and 109 interpreters, guides and
artisans, making a total force of 813.
In the year the police brought 4627 of
fenders before the courts, and of these
only 822 were dismissed. These cases
cover a great variety .of crime, from
murder to cattle stealing.
Arrangements have been made with
the new Province of Alberta and Sas
katchewan for continuing the force,
each province paying $75,000 yearly
toward its maintenance.
