DR. jacob opened her PAPER with a regret that
IN ordinary social intercourse there should he so
little talk of the Bible. and that IL should only be
confined to religious people. She said that there
are two ways of reading the Bible. and it is hard
10 disentangle the original significance from the
general Interpretation.
DR. Jacob drew a parallel between st. Paul's be-
lief in forgetting the things which behind and
reaching forth 10 the things that before with
the foot runners of old, who Were the only means
Of conveying news and who passed unheeded all in
cidents by roadside in their eagerness to attain
their purpose. "In other words she said lit is
necessary TO forget In order to remember"
DR. Jacob said further in extenuation of forget
ting:

remembered pelmeil. and at haphazard are poured
confusedy together Ike stream Of sand II is usu-
allv sign that the mind has purpose pos
sasses too little individuality 10 be assimated to

In many other ways also may forgetting become
the touchstone of character. Thus. there some
persons who forget the for their decisions,
and others who having made their choice, forget
that anything be urged the other side. In
many cases the tenacity of remembrance. far from
being sign of strength, is indica ton of cere
bral weakness-of poverty OF new thought
Forgetting is infrmty or frivolity, but
innate organic necessity and the mind which
