tions, frictions, and alienations, it is
of oufs, with its rivalries, competi
difficult to get past the injuries to
forget the injuries that come in hu
man life. But'if you are cherishing
hate in your heart against any one,
then you have- lost the highest per
spective of life. Big men do not
cherish resentment. Big men do not
hate. They put them down and out
and go their way.
What else are we to forget? Our
own successes. More men have been
spoiled by success than we can num
ber. There is danger in success any
where for any man. If a man cpn
bear success, he can bear anything.
Far easier ttNbav adversity than
prosperity. It is better any day to
go to the house of mourning than to
the house of feasting, for in the
he use of feasting, the human spirit
is lifted up, and pride always goes
before destruction and a haughty
spirit before a fall. If we do not
learn to forget them, they may cause
our undoing.
What else are we to forget? We
are to learn how to forget our sor
rows—and sooner or lat£r, these sor-'
rows come to each and aU of us.
When these sorrows come, we are to
learn how to take them to the great
reigning ever-ruling Master and ask
Him to no dispose, so to rule, and
to over-rule in them that we shall
come out of them all refined and dis
ciplined, the better educated and
more useful because of such sorrows.
They tell us that when you break the
oyster's shell at a certain point that
it will go off somewhere into the deep
rnd find a pearl ami mend the broken
piace with a beautiful pcarL Even
so, when you sorrows in life come,
you are to learn -how to take that
sorrow and so liave it woven into the
warp and woof of your life that you
will not be weaker and worse for the
sorrow but shall be riejier and strong
er and better for such sorrow.
Head often the polished essay of
Emersdh on compensation. Running
through all this world is the clear
principle of compensation. The Bible
recognizes it. For our light afflic
tions, which are but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceed
ing and eternal weight of glory. Wc
are to remember the sublime truth
that "All things work together for
good to them that love God."
Yonder in the asylum for the deaf
and dumb a visitor went one day, and
the superintendent said, "Let me
.show you how bright these little chil
dren are, even though they are deaf
and dumb. Ask any question ydu will
—write your questions there on the
board and see the answers these lit
tle mutes will give you." He asked
question after question, did this visi
tor. After a while he asked a cruel
question. I wonder how he could
have done it. He wrote this cruel
» question there on the board: "If God
lt.\ed you, why did lie make you deaf
and dumb?'" Then the little things
bowed their shoulders and sobbed for
a little while as if their hearts would
Lieak. Presently, a' little tiny girl
came out from her seat, went to the
board, and wrote under the question
these words of Jesus, "Even so, Fath
er, for so it seemeth good in >hy
sight." You will learn, how to take
all your sorrows to Him who can turn
the night into the morning. Sing with
Whittier when he sang:
I know not where hk islands lift
Their fronted palms in air;
But this I know, I can not drift
Beyond His love and care.
What else are we to forget? We
are to learn how to forget our sins.

If Paul had not learned this, he would
have gone crippled utterly clear to
his grave. Paul consented to the
death of Stephen, persecuting the
church. He was a ring loader in sin.
He calls himself the chief of sinners,
anw perhaps he was. If Paul had not
learned how to forget these sins and
get past them, he would have gone
with accusing conscience and broken
spirit cloar to his death. ,
But how are we to forgtH? "But
where sin abounded Grace did much
more abound." As far as the east is
from the west, So far hath he removed
cur transgressions from us. And lis
ten, again, "I have put your sins be
liind my back; I have drowned, them
i«i the depths of sea. 1 will remem
ber against you no more forever."
Listen to Him again, "The blood of
Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us
from all sin, and in Jesus Christ 1
have won a victory even over my
sins." "Thou shall call His name
Jesus, for He shall save His people
from sins."
"Jesus paid it all;
All to Him 1 owe;
Sin had left its crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow."
Li t me detain you for a third word.
Paul had a right anticipation. "For
getting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things
which are before, I pret«s towards'the
r.iark for the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus." Paul had
a right forward look. Young friend.-,

Here you are at life's beginning

the life-staff given to you is life's
true aim. This, then, is the mark at

the sounding of the mountain notes

living of a full life whose fullness
conies from Him who said, "I have
come that ye might have life and
have it more abundantly."
Life must have an aim and must
have the power to reach that aim.

supreme need is power. And how
comes power? When John Ruskin
stood looking at a great cathedral,
he was asked by a friend, "Why do
we not build such great cathedrals
now?" He answered, "The men who
built these cathedrals were men of
great convictions." Here, in a sen

You are as pure as the. tl|ui)ghts of.

Did you grow in the radiant city,

Nay, nay, said the lily; I fell not
