FORGIVEN. Marjorie was recently an Attentive witness to a reconciliation which followed a spirited argument between two members of our family. ' I'm just awfully sorry, and I wish you'd forget my part iv the matter,'said one. ' Oh, it's all right. It's a bit unfortunate that it occurred, but I was more to blame than you,' replied the other penitent. On Sunday Marjorie was very restless and naughty during morning church. Arriving home, her mother sent her to her room with the suggestion that she kneel down and ask God to forgive her naughtiness in his house. Marjorie came tripping downstairs within three minutes. ' I'm afraid, Marjorie, that you did not do what I told you,' said her mother. ' Yes, I did, too,' replied the child serenely. ' I told God I was sorry and he said, "All right; it's misfortunate, but 1 was more to blame than you."'
