How to Attain Happy Memories.

The supreme reward is for the doing,
more than for the abstaining. yet both
are commanded. To avoid sinful acts
and do righteous deeds rounds out a
life in which the memories are forever
blessed.
How are we to attain such a life?

them only are the words Of life. II is

to avoid evil and how to do good.
[ wonder # there are many OF our
young Christian Endeavorers. systemati-
cally and devoutly reading their Bibles.
1t is the surest way of making sure of
happy memories.
In starting to write on this topic the
first thing that came to my m nd was
the pathetic words OF Elizabeth Akers
Allen:
Backward. turn backward. Time! in your fight
MAKE me child again just for tonight!
Mother. come back from the ecfoless shore.
Take me again to your arms as Of yore.
Kiss from my forehead the burrows Of care
Smooth the few silver threads ont of my hair;

ROCK me to Sleep mother rock me to sleep.
Backward, ny backward, o swift tide Of yearsl
Toll without recompense. tears ali in vain,
Take them and give me my childhood again!

Weary OF sowing for others TO reap:
Rock me to sleep, mother. rock me to sleepi
And then came the thoughts of sainted
father and mother and all the sweet men,
ores Of childhood days.
One OF the cherished memories Is of
mother and her Bible She was great
Bible reader. She not only had read 1t
through consecutively many times. from
Genesis to Revelations: but during her
fe four times read not only the text
but each verse Indicated in the marginal
reference To make clear in reading the
first verse of the first chapter of Genesis
she would find in the Polyglot Bible a
marginal reference to some twenty
verses in all parts Of the Bible; she
would turn to and read them and then
go back to the second verse in Genesis,
read II and again turn and read the
verses referred to as hav ng some con-
meet on with the text verse. Then back
to the third verse, and cont nuing in same
manner through the Bible to the last
verse Of Revelations.
1t took much time and patience. but it
had it's reward In a rich and fruitful
when l was a boy had very little use
for q concordance. II I remembered two
or three words OF verse / wanted, l
would consult mother and she would
promptly turn to the passage desired.
How many OF my readers have read
the Bible through from the first verse to
the last? Have you?
And would like to know any one who
has read not only the entire text, but
has read also with each text the verses
referred to in a marginal Bible.

Bad Memories Purged.
AM that remains with us of our past
lives are its memories. With all OF us,
some Of them are bad Paul had some
memories that were not happy ones
There was time when he breathed out
threatenings and slaughter against the
disciples of the Lord. John Bunyan had
some memories of ungodly living in early
life that We're not happy recollections;
but we know that these two through
grace found obliteration of all that was
bad, and have long dwelt In the realm
where sorrow is. unknown and where
there is neither sin, nor the remem brance
of it.
With those Of us who have a past the
memories are fixed. and for the unhappy
memories there is no relief save in find
ing pardon for the sins that caused them
to be unhappy.
1t is different with the young. They have
the opportunity to make sure as they grow
older that their memories will be happy.
The way to do that is to live right, but
that Is by no means an easy thing to do.
We are warned in the scriptures that
the time will come when many will not
endure sound doctrine, but will heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears.
by whom the old truths are turned into
fables. We have now teachers, talking to
willing ears, of millennial glories to every
one.
A young man said to me the other day
OF some of these teachers that their doc
trines practically abolished hell. l replied
that the only way / knew Of to abolish
hell or punishment. either in this world
or the next, was to live right. And the
only way to make sure of happy memories
is by consistent right living
But there are many things involved in
what constitutes such living. 1t includes
both negative and positive qualities. 1t Is
temptations and pernicious habits, and alb
stain from all acts of dishonesty. injus-
tice and wrongdoings Of every kind; but
that is less than half OF well spent life.
The greater part is in the perform
ance of deeds of justice. mercy and
benevolence and in being active in all
helpful lines for the welfare of others.
It is possible for one to live a fairly
good negative existence, and yet have
very little to the credit Of the positive
some who do not swear, or kill, or
commit adultery, or steal, or bear false
witness against their neighbors, or
covet their neighbors' property, yet
who have no reverence for God or holy
things, and who do not show mercy or
take active part in any ministry of
loving service to either God or their
fellowman. BY temperament, more
than by design. they conform to the
Thou shalt nots' of the decalogue, but
grievously fail in obedience to the
Thou shafts" They miss the great
truth of life--that the generous deeds
and loving actions outweigh in value
everything else in the world.
