THE PAST LIES BEHIND US.

Much arrant nonsense has been written and said upon the influence of the past on the present. We have been told that the past is nemesis ever upon the trail of puny man. The first morbid threats concerning the power of the past was in Genesis when the Israelites were made to think their suffering due to the sins of their ancestors. All this is false and nor bid and poisonous. Maeterlinck tells us that our past depends upon our present and changes with it. What the past was depends upon the way we employ it today. Men and women have behind them grim and apparent ly hopeless pasts. but they rise upon these things and.triumph over them. Poe thought that he was victim of his past, and so. wrote the dismal poem, "The Raven," with it's croaking "Nevermore." He could have made his past glorious by gloryfying his present. But the past was too strong for his weak will. All he saw behind him was hideous mistakes, and ahead more mistakes. Other men with equal minister to their present welfare.
 The past is dead, but not the wis dom we learn from it. The faults
 of the past are with us until we rec ognize them and correct them. We go ahead as we achieve wisdom out of the raw material of mistakes. The past is dead, and beneath our feet We can get down in it and wallow if we want to, or we can step out to higher things. The real enemies o1 man are despair and doubt. Yet they are generally under our feet if we will to trample them there.-Roches. ter Post-Express.
