"What is the little blue bottle? Ink?" the lady asked the secretary.

"No, that is stencil correction fluid. It covers up the mistakes you make, when you cut or type a stencil."

"Oh," said Margaret, "show me how it works."

"Well, you place your stencil sheet in the typewriter, set the ribbon at off and whatever you type the letters cut holes in the stencil where the ink may come through. When you cut a wrong letter or word, this correction fluid fills in the hole and quickly dries."

"That's good," said Margaret. "Too bad we can't cover up our mistakes as quickly."

"Well," said the secretary, "this does more than cover up the mistakes. It makes it possible to cut another word right where the former mistake was made."

With material things man has learned to repair in many ways, so that machinery and other materials may be made as good as new, but the human problem of learning to right wrongs, to forget and forgive the past is much more difficult.

With Christ as a Saviour showing the way of mercy and forgiveness and His hope for mankind to learn the lessons of love and restoration, we have an example. Children ought early to be taught the ways of forgiveness. Real happiness in the mature years depending on the skill of restoring the rightful mind through the ways of loving fellowship.

Thanksgiving and Christmas help greatly to achieve the spirit of forgiveness and love. They help to nullify the effects of jealousy and greed.
