We all like to be. r erne maree, ;tint one of our enisfor timeS• is that there' arg so many things WO cannot remember. Mnethon.- 10.5, .or thw art of assisting manory, is an important art. It Was firt; suggested by Sienonales of Coes 500 years before Christ. Demon§ who had but little power to recall events 1 ox' put feats and dates and names iia, proper processione have through this art had thole memory releforeed to an almost incredible eatent. A good memOry ie an invaluable posseesion. By all means cultivate it. • 1 heel an aged friend who, del:timed all turret at a miserable depot waiting for a rail train fast in the am-Wee:Ike, en- tertained a group of eouie ten or (ti- tan elergymen, likewise detained On their wey home from a, meetiug of Presbytery, by first with a piece of ebalk drawing on the black and sooty walls of the depot the chile - teeters of Walter Scott's "ME:nixie:1" and then reciting from memory the whole Of the poem of some eighty Pag('S in line print. 'My old friend, through great age, lost his memory, and when I asked him if this story of the railkoad depot was true he said, "I do not remember now, but it was just like me." "Let rne see," said he to me. "nave I ever seen you before?" "Yes," I said; "you were my guest last night. and I was with you an hour ago." What an aw- ful contrast in that man between the greatest memory I ever knew and no menioey at fall But right along with this art of recollection, which I cannot *tee highly eulogize, is ono quite as int - portant , and yet I never heard it applatided. I mean THE ART OF PORGIFIITING. . There is a, spletedie fa- euity itt that direction that we all need to cultivate. We might through that process he ten , threes happier and more useful than t we now are, We have been told. that forgetfulness is a weakness and ought to be avoided by all poSSible means. So far from a weaknees, my text ascribes it to God, at is the very top of omnipotence that God is able to obliterate a part of His OW11 memory. If we repeat: of sin and rightly seek the divine forgiveness, the record of the misbehearior is not only crossed ofe the books but God actually lets it pass out of memory. "Their sins and their iniquities will 1 remember Po more." To remember no more is to forget and you cannot make anything else out or it. God's power of forgetfulness is so great that if two men appeal to him and the one man, after a life all right, gets the sins of his heart pardoned and, the other man, after a life of abomin- ation, gets pardoned God remembers 110 more against one than against the other. The entire past Of both the 1110ra i St, with his impeelections, and theprofligate, with his debaue;h- eries, is as much obliterated in the one case as in the other. Forgotteu. forevee and forever..
