MEMORY
By "PEG"
A recent letter brought this mess-
age. Do you xemennber that large
maple tree which grew ;between your
place and Workman+s vwhere we spent
:many baptlry hours playing on some
boards wheat had been fastened
there? Well that tree is to be cut
down: The tree will be gone but the
memorie • of the hours spent there
in ehuldhood Will remain.
We diving in a ;troubled Medea"
but our thoughts very often :search
through, the. ,ppdgeon holes of .our
yester years and lbriinrg oust some
memory which hakes us away front
the ;present and rebreads our steps
to ,some distant :spot where we are
quite halypy ,to, recall the_ joyous
days of the past,
There am some to whom memory
is much more kind than others, Why?
Simply because the warehouse of
that building • has been stored with
thingswhich e
Pleasant. That
does not mean that raters are not.
rust ce which we
manyam s w h would"
anudh•a hien o n ler t mot scall, f r 'them are
none of us no matter how ea-mestlly
we day to follow our Saviour, who
have not made mistakes which we
would like to erase from ossr memory,
We have asked forgiveseesss and God
has put those sins behind Him.
'!there are days of Sadness and trial
which it does not do US any good
to try to bring back to mind unless
from them we can learn some lesson.
Recently .three friends met. They
had. mat seen one another for over
fifty, years, when they were little
ehilda'en. Did they talk about the
unpleasant things of their childhood,
No; .there was no time for that.
There were indeed family eorr`ows
to be recalled but the greater part of
the 'time was taken up with talking
over 'th'e homey incidents of child-
hood. Children and youth are you
so living that your memory is in
later years going to. bring ,back
happiness or is your life such that
as time goes on .you will dread to
think of rbhe past? 'A'S one of the
entrances to !a Greek forum there is
a statue to the -Goddess ea ,Memory.
Upon the face graven in beauty
there has tenon a strange intense
stillness, a weight of thought which
seemscrushing. As we look at it
we wonder just :what she has picked
out of the well of memory. Her
!puzzled: expression goes on year
after year until we wish' she would
memory a
taw again and Choose so
which would not be quite so harr-
owing. Oars' memories can be pleas-
ant or they can be Sad. Vervy' much
of what +we recall is clue -to our own
is n and
a of living. Parents way g ca.
should do a great deal towards
in the lives of
things to
bringing n:S'
s
� g
their children 'which sir recalled in
later years will be a amine of 'hap
pitiless to a son or daughter.
Many of us have read that wond-
erful book of John .Buchan, "Mem-
ory hold the Door" also "Unforgett-
able, Unforgotten"' by his sister
Anna Buohan. Although ;brought np
with little of this- world goods they
had such a happy time do their young
days andihs spite of . trials as the
years passed and left them no longer
children they could think back over
their lives •and recall incidents all
along the way which brought jay
notonly to themselves but also to
those who are priviliged to read

their writings. iAls we- grow older
in yeanis when perhaps things are
not just as we would wish thean to
be it might do some of us good to
go back over tour lives and make a
note of all :the '!,appy experiences
we have had. It would not take Ss
long to realize that our joys far;
outhunebered our sorrows and ,trials.
Wlhat‘a wonderful thing memory is!
We s'houkLdaily !thank God for it.
At this season of the year many
relatives and friends gather together
at the last resting place of their.
dear tines. The graves are decorated
hymns are eung and God's message
is given. Why? In order that the
memory of those we have loved may
be honored. We do not forget them.
They are in our hearts but we like
to let the world know they are not
forgotten. It is for each one of us
to answer thee question. Did we
show them, the kindness and love we
should have dome while they were
With us? Tltare is little' use in the
outward show if we me in ;our hearts
ashamed of the way we treated
then,.
Have we ever • come perhaps vn
lenowlingly upon a woman with eyes
closed, deep in thought? As we
looked at her we saw tears trickling
down her face. What was the cause
of it? Memories of the past,
thoughts of other days when per-
haps a loved one now departed was
with her. As we have crept quietly
away the thought has come to us how
aimed those moments were. Then
perhaps in a few minutes . we have
come back to, be greeted with a
snvile. How sweat and yet sad these
moments of memories can bel
Each day of our life leaves mem-
ories behind to be eeoalled at some
later time. There are occaeions
when these thoughts are far away
from us but instantly something will
bring them back to us. How :thank-
ful we .are that Gocl ?has given 'us
memories! Our life would inleed be
drab without them. We could have
no happy recollections of our child
(hood; of the fai'bhfui teaching of our
parents as they guided our footsteps
in the narrow path, which leads us
to .that Eternal Life with our Saviour
of •the day we met our first school
teacher; of how we used 'to sit 'in
circles and listen to our Sunday
School teaeher tell us of the love of
Cod (wonuld thatparents would see
that their children Mended God's
Blouse, rather than baking them driv-
ing now). A memory which comes
back to as quite often fs of how as
very young children we used to go
to corner store with a copper as
we called it then. There we would
stand in front of the candy ,counter
and my to figure out what, we
could get that would give us the
most for our money. In the summer
we played out door games, and in
the winter took our sleighs and went
bo a nearby hill. As we grew older
we .hung on bob :sleighs in and out
of .bhe village, town, or wherever we
happened . to be.
One could go on for hours recall-
ing these different things and as we
grew older, unless we are careful
and keep pori;selves young the things
of the past will take the place of
events of the. present. No one can
blame us far recalling past days,
after all perhaps they are to us
more pleasant than the trying time
in which we are now liming.
Have tem ever attempted to write
the history of a toren or village Molly
happy hems ean'be spent interview
ing the older residents who are so
willing always to tell of the early
settlers some of whom perhaps be
long to those fanalliea.' In. Auburn
there is or was a table 'made by a
passing man looking for land further
along as he epent a few days with
the first settler in that disti:let. At
one talks to these older residents
the bight shires in their ayes as they
recall those 'clays; long singe past.
It is indeed a factor in every home
that things should be made to run as
smoothly as possible so that the
children in late_ years ' coaly have
pleasant memories of their young
days. This perhaps is not possible at
'all times, as an overtired mind or
body will ihatteis nerves • whch are
always ready to assert themselves.
Words acre spoken which at times we.
woctl'd give the remaining years of
our Iife to ,coal! They ;are gone
forever. The only thing for us to.
do Is to ask Clod's forgiveness and
to profit by our experietee
Are our memoiaea of the betties
going to consist merely of ,things
of this; world? if that is so then we
have little to look fonwarcd to. Have
too •those precious 'promises from
Gbd's iinsoired word: stored up err our
minds so that before sleep overtakes
as we may Teach in to the vault of
our memory and pick out a, •psalm,
a ,position of the :old +oar Teer Testa
spent .and resting en those promisee
and words of comfort sink into the
land of slumber. Psalm 145:7 tells
ue "Theles shalt abundantly fetter the
memory of tiny ,great goodness, and
shall eiug of thy righteousness." Are,
we among those who are singing; of
Hes righteousness and of His Searif-
tedal death for.us on Mount Calvary.
If we :are not :then, let ns lose no
time in accepting Him so that we
may • be numbered among His fall-
Owers.
