THE BURDEN OF MEMORY.

A Chicago man who was SO
fortunate as to survive the wreck of
the wentieth Century Limited has
made known his mental experiences
at the moment of the accident. He
says that within the space of a
moment sort of illumined history
of his life passed before him in
review, and that he thought of
more things within that instant
than heiwill probably think of dur
ingthe rest of his life.
This experience is of course BY no
means isolated. Those who have
been very closesto death by drown
ing have often related similar sensa-
tions. They have described how
every detail of life, even te=~the
smallest, has suddenly been forced
into clear-cut mental relief, and
how every incident of past ex-
perience has been instantaneo usly
flashed upon their sight. Such
testimony induces speculations ais to
the true nature of mind that will
not altogether be laid to rest. : It
would seem that nothing ever es-
capes from the treasure chambers
of memory, even though the key to
that schamber benot always at our
service. The memory itself must te
the Eecord !, of. every. deed and
thought, however trivialS a. record
from which nothing can ever be
erased, IA register of the many
things that weewould fain forever
forget, as well as of these relatively
few events that we would. willingly
preserve. Tits a tremendous thought,
and it appears to be true -one.s
We may legitiinately believe that
the experiences of those who are
menaceds by accidental death are In
no way dissimilar to the experiences
of those who die naturally, and the
evidence of the former is over
whelming in quantity and -unani-
NOUS, in it's character. Nothing is
omitted from natures bookkeer-
ing, no item is to small for incIu-
sion,, and when LIES count is closed
it is'also presented for recognition,
for;acceptance and surely for pay
ment.
