th best course to pursue when wc think we have suffered unjusuj our instinctive impulse is to repay the offender in his own coin word for word scowl for scowl or blow for blow experience has shown that this me thod usually adds fuel to the flame another method is to suffer in silence not seeking to get revenge but allow lng the friendship to cease this too is a negative result christ s teaching hat we may capitalise these strain ed relationships and by genuine for glveness make the relationship better than if a breach had never happened our enemies revise their opinion oi us when they see that we are sufflcl ently bighearted to forgive if the offence is repeated christ s answer is that the prglveness may be repeated as often as tbe offence and continued forgiveness will remove from the heart of the forgiven any further desire to injure it is by this kind of undls courageable good will that happy so cial fellowship remains possible need 11 is jesus had unique serenity of spirit vet he met the cruel facts of life hl was not a sheltered life he saw blind beggars cripples lepers pass ing thorugh a village be saw ten lepers who lifted up their voices and called jesus master have mercy on us it was against such a background of suffering and misery that jesus be lieved in his feuowmen and had faith m his father god he sought at once to relieve suffering and to restore to useful activity those who were handi capped by disease many of us are quick to see need and lament volubly about it we need to learn from christ s quick effort to conquer pain and remove hardships much human tragedy is manmade and can be pre vented when the heart is eager to serve the mind can find methods and means many travellers bad seen tbe ten lepers in an isolation camp out side this village but jesus took im mediate action for their healing al ways he lived up to his declaration or purpose expressed in the words of isaiah in the nazareth synagogue t was among men as one who served gratltade 14 16 for some reason luke had a warm place in his heart for the samaritans he alone told ofphrist protecting the samaritan village from fire and he alone has recorded the parable of the good samaritan and told the story of the samaritan leper who gave thanks out of tho ten lepers who were clean bed only one returned to thank christ and he was a samaritan gratitude is a noble virtue and one that has to be cultivated we double tbe value of our blessings when we are grateful for them a sure way to gain a happy spirit is to count our blessings dally a great hymn writer kept a book in which she recorded all the mercies of god to her reviewing past favours al wajs gave a glow to her soul one man who asked how he could discover the reality of christ was advised to write down everything that he direct ly or lndlreotly owed to christ xt was a great discovery for him to find how greatly he was m debt to christ and gratitude overflowed hi heart i is a strange sidelight on

i remember well the way the stripes ran round tbe skirt and say you did look well your cheeks were red as roses then your skin was snowy white me proud say i can feel lt now how proud i was that night and bashful too i shant forget tbe courage that it took to ask you to be mine and you just answered with a look but i knew what you said although you didn t speak a word your eyes spoke loud enough for me l and lt was them i heard that night you were my valentine it seems like yesterday though many changes certainly since then have come our way yes forty years have come and gone and brought their joy and care and left their marks upon your face and whitened all your hair but you are just as dear to me as you were then adline though forty years have done their work youre still my

crowd of workmen id send to build a fine mansion of marble and gold surrounded by flowers and trees where the music of birds could heard all day long and the busy buzzbusz of the bees and when lt was finished now what would i do the answer la easy to me for i have a silverhaired mother and dad and in just such a place they should be they have given a slice of their life time for me they have

yolr boy is in the army now your boy is in lne armv now or in he navy or the airforce every day mothers with smllcjb shining through tears are looking tall young sons up and down to see how the new uniform fits it seems such a short time since they were shy awkward school boys even a short time since they were little fellows running to have mother kiss the bumped knee to make it better they are still very young many have just finished their student days others were just getting nicely settled into their first job when they signed up but now they seem changed even a bit strange they have ac quired a new manliness a new dignity maybe it is partly the uniform it makes a man jf any boy maybe it is the step they have just taken they kid about it but 3011 have only to talk seriously a moment to a dozen or so of these young men in the canadian fighting forces to know- that each feel6 when offering himself for active service that he is as suming a share in the responsibility for preserving his country s free dom he has counted the cost and is prepared to do his duty whatever the sacrifice demanded down through the ages it has been given to the young manhood of a nation to defend it when in danger find many of the boys enlisting to day are natural heirs to a fighting spirit handed on to them by fathers who strved in the firot world war one and all they agree they have a big job on their liands now and it is up to them to see lt through so while molhrs cannot help feeling badly when they see their- youil sons join up still deep in their hearts they would not have them do otherwlm mast boys benefit b military training in camp they are fed well- balanrtd diets chosen by experts in the field of nutrition if they have physical defects they find out about them and are given medical guid ance some boys for the first time get proper dental care they receive mmunizat on against infectious diseases they are given instruction in pttioral hygiene experts see that they have rest and recreation mill- taiy drill helps to develop physical fitness many a youth when he dons uniform learns for the first time in his life to respect authority to do things he does not want to do he realizes he is no better tran anyone else thai he can expect no special favours because his father is rich or famous or holds a prominent posi tion many for the lirst time learn to go to bed at a reasonable hour and to tet up at a reasonable hour in the morning and to eat what is set before ihem in short they learn their first practical lesson in de mocracy many too receive valuable technical training for others however it meam a break in their education or their business career some have to postpone carefully laid plans for their lifework until some future date but every young recruit getting military training learns selfreliance learns to assume responsibility learns to discipline himself qualities which make a man of him and are of untold value to him in later life his parents however still play a great part in the lite of the young soldier sailor or airman he needs their goodwill and support perhaps at no time does a young fellows mother or sister or girl friend mean as much to him as while living in barracks just one of a thousand other men it is then he needs to feel that he belongs somewhere that he has a family whose chief interest centres in him then when his training finished he goes overseas and can no longer get leave to go home he especially needs a family fhnd hlt letters from home are- the big event of the week and the look on the the face of the lad for whom there is no letter when the mall comes la is often a sad sight to see commanding officers tell us that the boys are often homesick and lonely especially the younger ones so write your son newsy letters about the little commonplace tilings or home life how his young brothers hockey team is doing about sisters d lessons mothers new dress dads trip to the city how bis pet dog is these are the things he will look for and lt is not enough to say we are all fine and hope you are the same some of you mothers hava- wrttten but a few letters in years and you find the writing difficult but it is worthwhile to make the effort and in six months it will have be come much easier send your son boxes from home too they need not be too elabor ate or too frequent for it coats a lot to send them but some of mo thers cookies and a pair of sisters socks occasionally la tangible evid ence that though far away he is not forgotten the question has come up of sending spending money to boys over seas by parents who can afford it perhaps for his birthday or at christmas it is alright but army officers advise us that to tbe average case lt is unwise it sets a chap apart from the other men and does nog contribute to the democratic spirit rather they advise parents no mat ter whether rich or poor to encourage their sons to send some mongy home as savings your young son is in the army now and facing a mans responsibili ties but remember he is still little more tftan a boy at heart and hit need for you is as great as lt ever was though it may take a different t t t
