FORGET IT!

Minneapolis Journal: Many strive
TO cultivate good memory, follow
courses of study, become slaves to
notebooks.
Well, it may be good to remember
some things, but there are other
things it is good to forget.
Has a member Of your family, a
friend, an employee done wrong, but
is repentant and eager to start clean
page? Forget the mistake and never
mention it again. Have you some
thing 'on' another man? Forget it.
Do you know where man has
shamed himself, woman made a
mistake, a child committed blunder ?
F,rget it.. Perhaps some day some
body will get something on you. We
all live in glass houses. 1t tehooves
and contrite hearts.
Some men take delight in storing
away in pigeon holes of their mem
cries the records Of the mistakes CT
others or the petty grievances COM
mitted against themselves, with the
purpose, to take out these records,
when the proper time comes for set
tiement, nursing resentment the
while. What fine thing, if such could
take course in forgetting!
I'll get even with him." I'm going
fo pick a bone with him. 'I'm going
IT. ~! him where he gets off"-these
I, re the threats Of men who are not
large enough to forget. They fill
tlelr hearts with hatred, their souls
with anger. They eagerly rake the
past
Can you recall any happiness you
ever experienced from getting even,
picking bone or being an over-can-
did friend as you told another his
faults? Nest men realize their own
faults and the cases are few and far
between wherein one can correct
another and not make a mess of it.
Sometimes a family trouble may be
cleared up by amiable discussion, but
