In lecture which he gave In 1882,
M. Renan said that a nation was a
spiritual family, and he added that,
The essence of a nation is that all
the individuals have many things in
common, and also that they should
have forgotten many things" 1t is
important to know what one must for
get and what remember not only in
the past but in everyday life. That
which divides US encumbers our mem
cries, what unites US effaces. Each
one, in the luminous point of his men,
Dry, guards the lively and sharp senti-
ment of his secondary quality, which
is to be parsonage cultivator, indus
trial. in letters, functionary, proletary,
bourgeois, or political or religious sec
tartan, but his essential quality which
is to be child Of the country and
man, is relegated to the shade. 1t is
scarcely at all that a man keeps theO-
retic notion. The result is that that
which occupies us and dictates our
actions is precisely that which sepa-
rates us from others, and there re-
mains almost no place for that spirit
of union which is like the soul of the
people.
The result is that we hold to the
evil sovenirs in the spirits of our fell
lowbelngs. Men animated with the
spirit Of minutiae, exclusive, naughty,
rub against each other daily. They
cannot meet without awakening the
sentiment Of their divisions and their
rivalry. Slowly there gathers in their
memory a provision of reciprocal bad
will, of distrust and bitterness. All
that is the evil spirit, with its conse-
quences.
We must extirpate it from amongst
US. Remember; forget! This is what
we should say every morning, in all
our relations and all our functions.
Remember the essential, forget the
secondary. How much better we
should All our duties as citizens, if
the most humble and the highest
nourished themselves with this spirit.

are obliged to say. in spite of them
