MEANDERINCS OF A MILDLY
MILITANT MIND
FORGIvING AND FORGETTING

Of the two things I am equally
certain: no one goes through life
without finding something to forgive,
and no one reaches the end without
need of being forgiven.
However lofty our aim, however
deep our desire to do the kind, the
right, the noble thing, all of us at
che time or another miss our footing
We slip. Our balance is momentarily
lest and our ideals seem to taunt us
with our inability to live up to them.
We have need of forgiveness.
Yet, spiritual grace to freely and
fully forgive is one of the rarest of
human virtues.
Often it is said by persons un
qucstionably sincere, "Oh, can for
give butt never forget" Such one
is mistaken. He has yet to learn the
meaning of true forgiveness; for
The major part of forgiving is for
getting.
To cherish the memory of sting
is to perpetuate resentment, and
while resentment lasts forgiveness is
not complete.
Life is too short to clutter any pos
slIe avenue of usefulness or happi-
ness with rubbish, and harboring bit
ter thoughts does nothing else.
It's only little while we are here
Each of us has work, work all
his own, to do.
To do that work well, our minds
Ynd hearts must be free from disturb
ing thoughts and emotions.

ly and splendid showing of exclus-
i've garments in standard shades. The
new shades were most skillfully
blended and the general appearance
of the store was most pleasing.
Glnghams and cotton goods for spring
and summer were being shown in
great profusion. Of particular inter-
est were the new foulard silks and
ratines in highcolors as well as a
comprehensive display of ginghams,
voiles and organdies.
Our merchants have the reputation
of keeping in close touch with tie
city markets and are always up-to-
th-minute in correct styles. The
most exclusive and fastidious shop

service when they extend their pa
tronage to our town.

The Wilson Fund slowly grows.
Maryland's quota Of $4,000 is divided
equally between Baltimore City and
the Counties. OF the City's $4,000
there has actually been raised $500,
and the Counties have actually raised
according to receipts and sdvices re-
ceived at Headquarters the sum Of
$4,000. Other money has been raised
in the counties of which Headquar-
ters has not yet been advised by the
local chairmen, who are endeavoring
to complete their quota before turning
In their reports.
The work has been greatly delayed
by persons who intend to contribute
but have failed to send In their con-

work would be greatly aided If those
who intend to contribute would notify
their local chairman or Headquarters,

The Pneumonia Month.


March is typical pneumonia
month and usually gives high rats
of mortality for the disease. After a
long and hard winter, the system los
es much of it's resistance and people
grow careless. When every cold, nc
matter how slight, is given prompt
and intelligent attention, there is
much less danger of pneumonia. Ii
should be borne in mind that pneu-
monia is a germ disease and bree Is
in the throat. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is an expectorant and cleans
out the germ ladened mucus and not
only cures a cold but prevents its re.

We must eliminate any force which
dlminishes our power.
Animosity and resentment are de-
torrents, hindrances. No one can do
bis best who permits them TO rankle
in his memory.
Forgetting unpleasant and seeni-
ingly worthless experience is as much
a duty as remembering pleasant and
profitable ones.
The Great Teacher was once asked
how many times one should forgive
another, the questioner suggesting
seven times as reasonable number,
but He who bound the heart of hui
mainly to Himself by His own spir t
Of forgiveness answered, mot only
seven, but seventy times SEVEN"
They were sublime truths He
,, taught, lessons of love and beauty.
In life and in death He manifested
His faith them.
He it was who standardized the
measure of forgiveness.
/ 1t is simple; it is just; it is eternal
No more, no less, shall be metec
to any man.

which is written in that prayer made
and immortalized by the all-forgivine
Christ.

State House, Annapolis, March 8.
With but twenty-thrce more days
of the session left, the legislative
mill at Annapolis continues to grind
at it's usual rate and if conditions con-
tinue as they now are, it is safe to
say that the closing hours of the ses-
sion will see less work to do than
any session for many years. The
business of the session has been dis
patched with a regularity rarely wit
messed. This is especially true on the
House side of The Capitol for it is a
fact that at this writing the business
Of the House is right up to date.
Good work has also been done on the
Senate side, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the Legislative session Of
1922 will go down in history as one
of the best managed sessions the
good old State has ever experienced.
Neither the Anti-Saloon Leagues
Prohibition Enforcement Bill nor
the Anti Gambling Bill, prohibiting
betting on horse racing, will como
Up for action in the Senate until week
litter next, it is thought at this writ
ing. In the Enforcement Bill it is
understoodthat neither side is sure
of it's ground as the situation stands
now, and that both are willing tC
delay action on the measure This
also seems to be true of the Anti
Betting Bill. There are many per
sons who are of the opinion that thers
are sufficient votes in the Senate tc
affix the referendum to the Enforce
ment Bill. In this case the bill will
so back to the House in it's amend
ed form and in this event no one
can tell what the outcome will be
The referendum plan seems to be the
popular plan and it would not sur
prise some of the best informed mer
at Annapolis if both the Enforcement
and the Anti Betting Bills were final.

House Ways and Means COMMITTEE;
decided Monday to report unfav-
orably the bill which would bring
Maryland under the provisions of tht
Sheppard Towner Maternity Bill, by
establishing a bureau of child by
giene to be paid for through the
matching of a Federal appropriation
with State money. 1t is safe to state
that when the bill comes up for con
sideration in the House the report Of
the committee will be sustained, al
though there will be an effort made
to substitute the bill for the unfav.
orable report.
