Remember to Forget

ELIZABETH BICE LUERSSEN

When reminded of cruel treatment she had received, Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, is reported to have replied, "I distinctly remember forgetting that!" There is much to be said for the ability to forget the mistakes, hurts, grievances, accidents, or tragedies of the past. Christian Science requires more, however. It shows us how to scientifically erase such memories—to wipe them out with the great spiritual fact that man's true history is spiritual, faultless, good.

"Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth," declares the book of Isaiah, "and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." Isa. 65: 17; When we hold to the good and the true— remember God's allness—we cease to honor evil.
