When the missionaries first came to
Labrador they found no word for forgive
ness in the Eskimo language. So they had
to -make a new word which in Eskimo meant
Literally "Not-being-able-to-think-about
it-any-m®ren. This is the kind of for
giveness we must exercise toward others
if'weare to please Gcd. Anyone who has
ever experienced them will tell you that
there are very few thrills so great as
the dual thrills, of forgiving someone
a?id of being really forgiven.The two are
almost always linked together and they1,
brihg great joy."If ye forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you." (Matt. 6;14) On Adak,
as everywhere, we need in the barracks,
the home, on the job, a closer attention
to this kind of Christian living; "Be ye
kind one to another,tender-hearted,for
giving one another, even as God for
Christ1 s sake hath forgiven you."
God doesn*t think about the Christ
ian^ sin any more once it has been
sincerly aonfessed,, because He has for**
given us because Christ, took the pun
ishment for our sins. He doesn*t "see"
our sin because we are covered with
the robe and mantle of Christ*s sin
lessness. Christ is our substitute.
Out attitude toward others should
follow this example. Do you have
anything against anyone?-Try honest
forgivenees-somtimes it isnTt easy
but work hard at it by asking God
to help you te>"Not-be-able-to-think
about-it-anymorel" The rewards are
great* CHAPLAIN
