REMEMBERED NO MORE.
THE ART OF FORGETTING AND ITS
' HIGHEST EXAMPLE.
Why tbe Art is Worth Cultivating—h.
Sublime Attribute of God—The "Horri-
ble Example" Farce Had Up to De-
served Scorn—A. Sin -Forgetting God.
BROOKLYN', N.Y., June 5, 189.—Dr. Tal -
sermon this morning taught that
the art of forgetting is worth cultivating,
and that there is the highest poasible exam-
ple for its exercise. His text was Heb. 8:
12:—:"Their sins and their iniquities will I
remember no more."
The national flower of the Egyptians
is the heliotrope, of the Assyrians is the
water lily, of the Hindoos is the marigold,
of the Chinese is the chry santblemum. We
have no national flower, but there is hard-
ly any flower more suggestive to many of
us than the "forget-me-not." We all like
to be remeralaered, and one of our misfor-
tunes is that there are so many things we
cannot remember. Mnemonics, or the art
of assisting enernory, is an important art. It
was first suggested by Simonides, of 'Cos,
five hundred years before Christ. Persons
who had but little power to recall events,
or put facts or names or dates in proper
processions have, through this art, had
their memory reinforced to an almost in-
credible extent. A good memory is an
invaluable possession. By all means, cul-
tivate it. I had an aged friend, who, de-
tained all night at a miserable depot in
waiting for a rail -train fast in the snow-
banks, entertained asgronp of some ten or
fifteen clergymen, likewise detained on
their way home from a meeting of .Pres-
bytery, by, first, with a piece of chalk,
drawing out on the black and sooty walls
of the depot the characters of Walter
Scott's "Marmion," and then reciting
from Memory the whole of that poem of
some eighty pages in fine print. My old
friend through great age lost his memory,
and when I asked him if this story of the
railroad depot was true, he said: "I do
not remember now, but it was just like
me." "Lee me see," said he to me, "hare
I ever leen you before?" "Yes," I said,
"you where my guest last night, and I was
with you an hour ago." What an awful
contrast in that man between the greatest
memory I ever knew and no memory at all.
But right along with this art of recol-
lection, which I cannot too highly eulo-
gize, is one quite as important, and yet I
nerer heard it applauded. I mean the
art of forgetting. There is a splendid fa-
culty in that. direction that we all need to
cultivate. We might, through that pro-
cess, be ten times happier and more useful
than we now are. We have been told that
forgetfulness is a weakness, and ought to
be avoided by all possible means. So tar
from a weakness, my text ascribes it to
God. It is the very top of Omnipotence
that God is able to obliterate a part of His
own memory. If we repent of sin and
rightly seek the divine forgiveness, the
record of the misbehavior is not only cross-
ed off the books, but God actually lets it
pass out of memory. "Their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more." To
remember no more is to forget, and you
cannot make anything else out of it. God's
power of forgetting 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 abornhaation, gets pardoned, God remem-
bers no more against one than against the
other. The entire past of both the moralist,
with his imperfections, and the profligate,
with his debaucheries, is as much obliterat-
ed in the one case as in the other. For-
gotten, forever and forever. "Their sins
and their iniquities will I rememher no
more." -
This sublime attribute of forgetfulness
on the part of God you and I need, in our
finite way, to imitate. You will do well
to cast out of your reecdlection all wrongs
done you. During the curse of one's life
he is sure to be misrepresented, to be lied
about, to be injured. There are those who
keep these things fresh by frequent rehear-
sal. If things have appeared in print, they
keep them in their scrap book, for they cut
these .precious paragraphs out of the news-
papers or books and at leisure times look
them over, or they have them tied up in a
bundle, or thrust in pigeon holes, and they
frequently regale themselves and their
friends by an in.spestion of these flings,these
sarcasms, these falsehoods, these cruelties.
I have known gentlemen who carried them
in their pocket -books, so that they could
easily get at these irritations, and they
put their right hand in the inside of the
coat pocket over their heart, and say:
"Look here! Let me show you some-
thing." Scientists catch wasps and hor-
nets end poisonous insects and transfix
them in curiosisv bureaus for study, and
that is well. But these of whom I speak
catch the wasps and the horaets and
poisonous insects and play with them and
put them on themselves and on their
friends and see how far the noxious things
can jump and show how deep they can
sting. Have no such scrap book. Keep
nothing in your possession that is dis-
agreeable. Tear up the falsehoods and the
slanders and the hypercriticisms. Imitate
the Lord in my text and forget, actually
forget, sublimely forget. There is no
happiness for you in any other plan or
procedure. You see all around 'you in the
church and out of the church dispositions
acerb, rnalign, cynical, pessimistic. Do
you know how these men and women get
that disposition? It. was bv the embalm-
ment of things paeitherine and viperous.
They have spent much of their time in
calling the roll of all the rats that have
nibbled at their reputation. Their soul is a
cage .of vultures. Everything in thern is
sour or embittered. The milk of human
kindness has been curdled. They do not
believe in anybody or anything. If thee
see two people whispering, they think it is
about themselves. If they see two people
laughing, they think it is about themselves.
Where there is one sweet pippin in their
orchard, there are fifty crab apples. They
haye never been able to forget. They do
not want to forget. They will never for-
get. Their wretchedness is supreme, tor
no one ca.n be happy if 'ne carries perpetu-
ally in mind the mean things that have
been done him. On the other hand, you
can find here and there a man or woman
(for there are not so many of them) whose
disposition is genial and suminerve Why ?
Have they always been treated well? 011,
no, hard things have been said against
them. They have beeu charged with offi-
ciousness ; and their generosities have been
set down to a desire for display, and they
have many a time been the subject for
tittle-tattle, and they have had enough
small assaults like gnats and enough great
attacks like lious to have made them per-
petually misereble, if they would have
consented. to be miserable. But they. have
had enough divine philosophy to cast off
the annoyances, and they have kept them-
selves in the sunlight of God's favor and
have realized that the oppositions and
hindranees are a part of a might discipline,
by which they are to be prepared for use-
fulness and heaven. The secret of it all is,
they have by the heip of the eternal God
learned how to forget.
Another practical thought: when our
faults are nepented of let them go out of
mind. If God forgives them, we have a
right to forget them. Having once re-
pented of our infelicities and misdemean-
ors, there is no need of our repenting of
them again. Suppose I owe you a large
sum of money, and you are persuaded I
aui incanaciated to nay. and vou eive me
acquittal zrom enaconngation. You say:
.cancel that debt. All is right now.
Start again." And the next day I come
in -and say: "You know about that big
debt I owed you. I have come in to get
you to7let me off. I feel so bad about it
I cannot rest. Do lekme oft" You re-•
plymith s little impatience : "I did let you
offDon't bother yolitself and "Wither me
with any more of that discussion." %- The
following day I come in and say : • "bty
dear sir, about that debt. I can never
get :over the fact that I owed you that
money. It is something that weighs an
my mind like a (millstone. Do forgive me
that debt." This time you clear lose your
patience and say; "You are a nuisance.,
What do you mean by this reiteration of'
that affair! I am almost sorry I forgave
you that &lit. Do you oubt my veracity,
or do you not understhd the plain lan-
guage in which I told 4ou that debt was
cancelled ?" Well, riy friends, there are
many Christians guilt' of worse folly than
that. While it is ri t that they repent of
new sins and of recent _e_ins, what is the use
of bothering yourself and insulting God by
asking Him to forgive sins that long ago
were forgiven? God has forgotten them.
Why do you not forget them? No; you drag
the load on with you, and 305 times a year,
if you pray every day, you ask God to re-
call occurrences which He has not only for-
given, but forgotten. Quit this folly. I do
not ask you lesi to realize the turpitude of
sin, but I ask you to a higher faith in the
promise of God and the full deliverance of
His mercy. He does not give -a receipt for
part payment, or so much received on ac-
count, but receipt in full, God haying for
Christ's sake decreed, "Your sins and your
iniquities will I remember no more." As
far as possible, let the dieagreeables of life
drop. We have enough things in the pre-
sent, and there will be enough in the future,
to disturb us without running a special
train into the great gone -by to fetch us as
special freight things left behind.
Not only forget your pardoned trans-
gressions, but allow others to forget them.
The chief stock on hand of many people is
to recount in prayer meetings and pulpits
what big scoundrels they once were. They
•
not only will nbt forget their forgiven
deficits, but they seem to be determined'
that the church and the world shall not
forget them. If you want to declare that
you have been the chief of sinners and extol
the grace that could save such a wretch
as you, do so, but do not go into particu-
lars. Do not tell how many times you got
drunk, or to what bad places you went, or
how many tree rides you had in the prison
van before you were converted. Lump 'it,
brother; give it to us in bulk. If you have
any scars got in honorable warfare, show
them ; but if you. have scars got in ignoble
warfare, do not display them. I know
you will quote the 'Bible reference to the
horrible pit from which you were digged.
Yes, be thankful tor that rescue, but do
not make displays of the mud of that horri-
ble pit, or splash it over other people.
Sometimes I have felt in Christian meetings
discomfited and unfit for, Christian service
because I had done none of those things
which seemed to be in the estimation of
many necessary for Christian usefulness, for
I never swore a word, or ever, got drunk,
or went to compromising places, or was
guilty of assault and battery, or ever ut-
tered a slanderous word, or ever did any-
one a hurt, although I knew my heart was
sinful enough; and I said to myself:
"There is no use of me trying to do any
good, for I never went through those de-
praved experiences," but after I saw con-
solation in the thought that no one gained
any ordination by tete laying on of the
hands of dissoluteness and infamy. And
though an ordinary moral life, ending in a
Christian life, may not be as dramatic a
story to tell about, let us be grateful to
God rather than worry about it, if we have
never plunged into outward abominations.
It may be appropriate in a meeting of re-
formed drunkards or reformed debauchees
to quote for those not reformed how des-
perate and nasty you once were, but do
not drive a scavenger's cart into assembl-
ages of people, the most of whom have al-
ways been decent and respectable. But I
-have been sometimes in great evangelistic
meetings where people went into parti-
culars about the sins that they ouce com-
mitted so much so that I felt like putting
rny hand on my pocket -book or calling
for the police lest these reformed men
might fall from grace and go at their old
business of theft or drunkenness or cut-
throatery. If your sins have been forgiven
and your life purified, forget the way-
wardness of the past, and allow others to
forget it.
But, what I most want in the light of
this text is to impress upon my hearers and
readers that we have a sin -forgetting
God. Snppose that on the Last Day—
called the Last Day because the sun will
never again rise upon our earth, the earth
itself being flung into .fiery demolition—
supposing that on that Last Day a group
of infernal spirits should somehow get
near enough the Gate of Heaven and chal-
lenge our entrance, and say : "How canst
Thou, the Just Lord, let those souls into
the realm of supernal gladness ? Why,
they said a great many things they never
ought to have said, and they did a great
many things they ought never to have
done. Sinners are they ; sinners all." And
suppose God should deign to answer, He
might say: "Yes, but did not My only
Son die for their ransom? Did He uot pay
the price? Not one drop of blood was re-
tained in His arteries, not one nerve of His
that was not wrung in the torture. He
took sin His own body and soul all the sun
ferit4 that those sinners deserve. They
pleaded that sacrifice. They took the full
pardon that I promised to all who, through
my on, earnestly applied for it, and it
passed out of my mind that they were of-
fenders. 1 forgot all about it. Yes, I for-
got all about it. 'Their sins and their ini-
quities do I remember no more.'" A sin -
forgetting God! That is clear beyond, and
far above a sin -pardoning God. How often
we hear itssaid : "I can -forgive, but I can-
not forget." That is equal to saying : "I
verbally udmit it is all right, but I will
keep the old grudge good." Human for-
giveness is often a flimsy affair. It does
not go deep down. It does not reach far
up. It does not fix things up. The con-
testants may shake hands, or, passing each
other on the highway, they may speak the
"Good Morning" or the "Good Night,"
but the old cordiality never returns. The
relations always remain strained. There is
something in the demeanor ever after that
seems to say : "I would not do you harm ;
indeed, I wish you well, but that unfor-
tunate affair can never pass out of tny
mincl.'"fliere may no hard words pass
between them, but until death breaks in
the same coolness remains. But God lets
our pardoned offences go into ohlivion.
He never throws them up to us again. He
feels as kindly towards us as though we
had been spotless and positively angelic all
along.
Straightening Japanese lyes.
"I was recently in Japan," says an Am-
erican, "and I met there several American
and German doctors who were getting rich
by straightening the slant in the Japanese
eye to make it look like the beloved Cauca-
sian's optic. The Japanese, you know,
show the traces of their Mongolian origin
more plainly in the shape of their eyelids
than in the color of their skin, and those
who can afford it are ridding themselves of
this uninistalcable evidence of their despised
ancestry by submitting to a simple and
comparatively painless surgical operation,
which consists in the surgeon slitting the
outer rim of the eyelids in a straight line
for the barest infinitesimal part Of an inch.
The wound is then covered with a thin
piece of chemically prepared sticking -
plaster, the faithful subject of the Mikado
goes on about his business as if nothing had
happened,, and in a few days the wound is
neaten ana ne 1001ta on nis envious fellows
through lids an straight as the American's".

Paving 'With Sand and Water.
The most novel street pavenient yet sug-
gested is bein laid on Front street, oppo-
site the posto e, at Palatka, Fla. It is a
water pavem nt, at least it is popularly
called such. At the last meeting of the
Council permi sion was secured from the
Council to ex eriment on Front street, and
on Thursday perations began. The idea
was suggestedl to the inventor by the hard-
ness of the seashore, and the _principle lies
in keeping the earth constantly damp, so
that traffic thereby makes it the more com-
pact The street was first levelled, and a
long pipe with perforations was laid in a
trench down the center; the street graded
from the center down the sides—the pipe
being underground. Connection was then
made with an .artesian well, and the water
running through the pipe saturated the en-
tire street. I' is beginning to harden al-
ready, and the experiment is watched with
great interest.—Florida Times -Union.
Bottont of a Sea Falling Out.
Scientists tel us that, counting from the
sea level, the 1 west body of water on the
globe is the Caspian S'ea. ! For centuries its
surface has been gradually settling down,
until now it is eighty-five feet lower than
that of its near neighbor, the Black Sea,
which also lies far below the level of oceans.
The common conclusion all along has been
that the Caspian was simply losing its wa-
ters by evaporation, but recent investiga-
tion shows that this is not the case. Sound-
ings made and compared with records of
soundings made over one hundred years
ago reveal the astounding fact that there
is even a greater depth of water now than
then. This le ves butone hypothesis that
would seem at all tenable : That the bot-
tom of the sea
is much specu
to what will b
is actually sinking. There
ation in scientific circles as
the final outcome.

The Cubit.
The length f the ancient cubit, so often
referred to in acred and other writings of
early date, va ied according to the race.
Strictly, it was the distance from the elbow
to the tip of the middle finger.
Recent investigation proves that the
Roman cubit was 18.47 inches in length.
The Greek, 18.20. The Hebrew varied from
24.34 to 22.08, the variation being due to
age and locality.
Some biblical scholars believe that Noah's
ark measurements were cubits of about
three feet.—St. Louis Republic.
Hard on the Caterpillar.
Alternate wires of copper and zinc are
run around the trunk of a tree, 'at a dis-
tance of about half an inch apart. The
casual caterpillar _begins to mount the
trunk of thee tree and unlimbers himself
with the confidence and vigor born of au
impending feast. Presently he reaches the
copper wire, pokes his nose over it and lets
another kink out of his backbone. Half an
inch further up his front feet strikes ths
zinc, the circuit is completed and the tits
fortunate larva is a martyr to science.

I wish tha parsons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teachings;
I wish tha: -practicing was not
So different from teaching.
Treating Washed Lace.
Everybody knows that washed lace is
improved by heing dyed in cold coffee, but
perhaps blond s are not aware that if it be
dipped in tea it will become a color more
likely to suit them. At any rate, lace
dyed in tea is a nice change and keeps
fresh longer. I

Thou hast Life's keys, and dost command

Success, po)r shadow of the soul of hope;
But all thy gain is present weariness
And the gods' laughter from their unsealed

Go, harlot, with.thy faces of regard,
Wind -varying for the lovers at thy side,

Honor and splendor in my heart abide •
I want thee not, save that thou LIM,

Proffer thy service as cup -bearers do.

Pillars of the Church in a Scrap.
A good thing has just leaked outsconcern.
ing a church fair held in Utica not very
long ago. When the booths were being put
in position two men had a disagreement as
to what position in the hall a certain booth
should occupy. It was a small matter, of
course, but each disputant was sure he was
right. There was a war of words, and one
invited the other outside to settle the diffi-
culty. Those who witnessed the settlement
said it was unique and amusing. Which
party Set the .ball rolling will never be
known. There was a swish of fists in the
air, two angry grunts, a sprinkling of blood
from two damaged ,nasal appendages, a
whirl of arms and legs, and the booth
builders roiled over one another in the
mud. Two sorry -looking pillars of the
church they were when separated and sent
home to recuperate. ': The booth went up,
but whether its position was mutually
satisfactory has not been learned. —Utica

—In the Canada Gazette notice has been
given that Mrs. Martha Ballantyne, of Scar-
boro township, York county, will ask for a
bill of divorce from her husband, William
Ballantyne, at next session of Parliament.
The case is a peculiar one. The parties were
married near Forest, in Lambton county,
about twenty years ago, but separated, and
in 1874 Ballantyne married again at Niagara
Falls, New York. He has since raised a
family by his second wife and, at the time
proceedings were begun, he was living in
Hamilton, but has since gone to thg North-
west. It is understood that the petitioner
has fallen heir to an estate and wishes to ob-
tain cornplete control of it.
—Fred Horning, aged 19, son of Mr.
Robert Horning, of Woodstock, committed
suicide by taking poison last Saturday night.
Young Horning had lived in Woodstock
nearly all his lifetime, along with his parents,
who are universally respected. The only
motive which can be given for the commital
of such a raeh act is that he had been living
a life of idleness, and in consequence had got
into bad habits and practices. He figured
in the police court on more than one occa-
sion, and was up on a charge of refusing to
pay livery hire only the morning previous.
On more than one occasion, it is said, he in-
timidated his mother into giving him money
by threatening his own life.
