art Of memory the latter said Teach

much the world needs to learn that
art Paul spoke OF forgetting the
things that are behind. We should
forget our mistakes and failures. so
far as these cause disbursement.
We should forget our successes. if
they cause pride or preoccupy the

that have been put upon us or the
Insults that have been given us. To
remember these is to be weak and
miserable. If not worse He who says
he can forgive but he cannot forget
IS deceived by the sound OF words.
Forgiveness that is genuine involves
forgetfulness of the injury. True
forgiveness means a putting away Of
the wrong behind the back and re-
