FORGETTING is of the fine arts of life. 1t is
the blue hs Of wisdom f cutting out the weak
means character selecting the memories 1t will per-
nit dominate it. 1t is the exclusion act of the SOUL
ejectng the undesirable. 1t is the individual deter
mnation of the survival of the fittest in thoughts.
great editor said The true secret of editing
is to know what to put into the waste basket" For
getting is the souls place for losing discarded
thoughts depressing memories, false standards, and
low ideals. This forgetting never comes from weak
memory; it means mind, will, character, working
consciously in their highest strength to master
purpose, to attain an ideal.
All the virtues vices. and qualities of mental and
moral life may be defined in terms of forgetting of
remembering. Selfshness is forgetting others in
forget the troubles that may never happen Honor
is remembered high standards made evident in acts
Forgiveness is the hearts orgetfulness of an injury
Ingratitude is the hearts forgetfuness of favor.
Habit is the memory of acts making repetition easier
Mercy is the memory of human weakness tempering
justice. Envy is forgetting ones possessions in
over-remembering those of Others Influence is the
remembered acts of inspiring the of others.
Patience is forgetting petty troubles along the way
in concentrating thought on the goal Love is the
hearts sweetest memories shrined in another.
Some Things Learn
EORGETTINGaS fine art has two distinct phases
learning how to forget and what to forget. For
getting is the hearts eclipse of memory. 1t easy
to say lightly to some one suffering from memory,
"Oh, just forget it ALL but those of who have
sought honestly and bravely to fight it out the
silent battlefield of the soul know that forgetting is
never easy. Keeping the world from knowing it by
masking sorrow with smile, seeming to forget,
is fairly easy; but this is not real forgetting. The
biggest souls find it hardest to forget Trained for
getting is paradoxic. We cannot forget by trying
intensely to forget this merely deepens and gives
new vitality to the memory. True forgetting really
means finer memory displacing one memory by an
other, by stronger one, antidotal one and con-
centrating the second phase that the first is
weakened, neutralized and crowded out 1t is re-
moving weed from the garden of thought and then
planting live, sturdy flower in its stead. 1t is cu
tivating new interests, points of view. Time is
ally; but we consciously do much for
selves.
If we learn to forget wisely and unselfshly in the
trifes of daily living with Others shall silently
accumulate reserve power that will come to
rescue in crises. Let forget the thorns of

daily living in remembering the of its posi-
bility; forget the things that pain in remembering
the unnoted reasons for thankfulness; forget the
weakness of those around in seeking to realize
wherein they strong forget the ruins of failure
in the inspiration of the success will upon
them. Let us forget the disappontments in the
courage of new determinations; forget the little
wrong have suffered at the hand of our friend in
living again in the memory of his many kndnesses;
forget the things that depress in concentrating on
those that exalt Fine forgetting is attempt at
finer justice. 1t means aggressive living the
higher levels of life.
Price of Petty Qualifications
THE man who lets the really great things of life.
love, honor, duty, trust, friendship, loyalty,
justice, selfshly slip away from him for the petty
qualifications of moment a mood, should waken
and realize the tremendous price he is paying for
them; then their deceptive power him. their
treacherous charm will fade into the dim recesses of
forgetfulness where they belong and the real things
will stand out again strong luminant and inspiring.
He who listens gleefully to scandal turns it over
meltlngly on the tongue of appreciation, and then
syndcates it with supplementary chapters of his
guessing repeats until becomes stained tattoo
memory. His ears should be debarred from listening
and his mind taught to forget by thinking deeply the
pain such scandal would give to him, were he
dear to him the VICTIM innocent guilty.
He whose success has made him hard selfish.
intolerant and critical, who has patience with
those who have succeeded, should for little
from his work of pinning medals the chest of
his selfapprova and forget his unworthy vanity by
recalling his hard struggles and the part that
chance, patronage favor, even questionable clever
ness. has had in making his prosperity. He may then
gladly extend the helping hand he now withholds.
We often let an act of the long ago poison our
present living; remember when should forget.
