Two persons having a grievance,' left their respective homes in search of each other; they met in the street, and there was a perfect reconciliation. Would to God that more that are found in like circumstances would "go and do likewise," obeying our Lord's word, " If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift"! (Matt. 5:23, 24.)

"How rare that task a prosperous issue finds
Which seeks to reconcile discordant minds !
How many scruples rise at passion's touch!-
This yields too little, and that asks too much ;
Each wishes each with other's eyes to see,
And many sinners can't make two agree.
What mediation, then, the Savior showed,
Who, singly, reconciled us unto God ! "
(2 Cor. 5:18-21; 1 Tim. 2:5, 6.)

" If any man have a quarrel [grievance] against any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." (Col. 3:13.) "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Eph. 4:32.)

What a motive for our hearts, beloved brethren! May we in this attest our heart's love to Him who has died for us, and says, " If ye love Me, keep My commandments"! B.C.G.
