REMEMBERING AND FORGETTING
There must be a scientific boundary or legitimate use for the action of thought called memory. To the advanced student in truth, memory ought to be a faculty nicely adjusted to scientific usage. Properly cultivated, it becomes a talent most worthy. When we become followers of Christ, we are of one Mind,—"forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before." St. Paul must have found it profitable, even in his day of persecution and worldliness, to forget many a hard experience to which a less spiritually minded man would have clung. Thus has every teacher of the past had his blessings to remember, as well as his woes to forget.
But do not the gospel truths of Paul's teachings concern us now as never before? Are we indeed worthy of the name of Christian? Are we letting go little indignities, petty words of careless import, even mentally denying the little drift of gossip which puts out neighbor in an unfavorable light,—forgetting all these because we know that God's perfect image is perfect still? Have we really attained to this degree of excellence in Christian Science? Then with the Master we can say, understandingly: "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
