Il; _ rite Rev. .lo
'The Rev. John G. Addy. pastor of
the Woodlawn Dutch Reformed
cliui-cn, Brooklyn. preached On "M0111-
ories." His text was from Psalm
cxlili:5: “l remember the things of
old; 1 meditate on Thy doings." '
There is nothing perhaps. fOr Wl1lCl\
man has more reason to thank God
than the gift of memoryyfor not only
is memory of value educationally. ell-
abling us to acquire information and
knowledge from others. which infor-
mation and knowledge We make
our owli, thus weaving _ it
into the woof and fabric of our lives
but it is also of value for as we coine
to consider it, we realize that memory
is indeed ii blessing. lt brings into
the present that which is past and
gone. it enables us to live over and
over again those acts of long ago. lt
brings before us vividly the things of
the past, and they are reacted. as _lt
were. before our eyes, and there is
brought back to us in fancy, it’ we so
will, the faces of the loved ones.
who have gone before; it is impos-
sible for ns to see them as we once
saw them; it is impossible for us to
mingle with them as in the days of
old, but by an act of will. if we so
desire, we call before us the faces of
our loved ones, and so we thank God
for memory and for all that memory
means to us.
But this gift of memory is not only
of value as it permits to us the enjoy-
ment of those things. which. without
its aid we would be uiiablc to enjoy,
but memory is also of help to us in
that it enables us to note the connec-
tion between the events of the past
and those which succeeded them, a
connection which at the time it was
impossible for us to understand. The
events which transpire today are
closely connected with those which
will transpire. but while it is possible
to see that which is taking place to-
day, we cannot see it in its connec-
tion with tlie events which are to
come hereafter; therefore, ive find
ourselves limited lu our uiidc_stand~
ing. Not so, however, with those
events which are of the past. ply was made that, while he will tell

reveals to the race the lessons which °lll9‘° “'°l'd5 the Whole mea °f trllth'

veal to the individual the lessons man C°“‘?l“t5 ill the intent' 3_0 'hal' “_”
untrnth is not so great a sin if it is
which his acts ami experiences teach.
It is almost impossible. for us to over-
estimate the value of experience as an
educator, realizing as we do how help-
ful these lessons prove to us in deter-
mining our conduct; but note that
without memory these lessons would
be lost to us. and we would drift as a
ship without a chart and with no
means of locating its position; but by
memory these experiences are saved
to ils and become of real value. This
value, however, is dependent upon the
extent to which these experiences be-
come the subject matter of our
thoughts, so that we understand the
meaning of the psaimist when he
says: “l remember the days of old;
l meditate oil all tli_v doings." God's
doings in the past had been related
to him; lie had heard how God had
dealt with His chosen people; lie had
also known by his own experieiicess
how God had dealt with him individu-
ally, and as he meditated upon these
llllllgs. bringing them within the
range and compass of His thoughts
he was able to estimate the value of
each act. lt is only as we meditate
upon our past experiences and ponder
ever them that we derive benefit
therefrom.
But there is another aspect of this
subject which it is iiiipossiblc for ils
to ignore. and that is that at times
memory brings not only pleasure, but
pain. Tile blush of shame siiffuses us
and we scatliingly denounce ourselves
as wc ret-all the follies of the past and
the mistakes we navc made. Some oi'
the pictures we call before us are not
bright and pleasant. Some of’ them
are dark scenes which we fain would
blot out of existence were it possible.

Kaur. anything that can be produced during
takes and soine of these failures were
the result of ignorance and that we
tmmi-tered not wilfully, but because
we knew no better; but, on the other
hand, there are experiences where we
know that the fault can be laid at no
other door than our own. This is
especially true in regard to our sins.
We may call them mistakes. WG IIIBY
try to make light of them by referring
to them as errors or failures. but
there are errors or failures wlhch can
be called by no other name than sin.
There are two persons we never can
deceive; the one is oneself and the
other is God. Mail may succeed in
deceiving his fellows. he may succeed
in deceiving those who make.,the most
careful investigations he may eveli
delude lilmself into believing that he
has deceived himself, but he never de-
ceives himself. So. also, man is con-
scious of the fact that he never suc-
ceeds in deceiving God. He may pos-
sibly bluff. but deep down in his own
heart he knows that God knows him
as he is.
’1`o the man who is indifferent in his
living these facts may cause him little
concern; but to him who is attempt-
lug to better his life, to him who de-
sires to live down the past, these
memories cause real distress. Nor is
this the experience of those only who.
have committed what we are wont to
call great sins, but it is also the elx-
perieuce of those who have lived
what their friends and neighbors
would call cxemplary liives. Per-
haps some woiiid say that self accusa-
tions are the result of morbid intro-
spection. but this does not satisfy;
it docs not explain the facts as we
know them. Rather is it true that as
the whiter the sheet the darker do the
spots appear, what some may call
little, to others will be of real import-
ance. Thus, for example, in discus-
sing the question of veracity with a
business man the other day, a young
man was mentioned whom we both
know and who appears to be succeed-
ing in his business. To the remark,
"lie is not always truthful," the re-
ulness on the part of this business
not told for the purpose of injuring.
Now. we can readilynnderstand that
to such a man as this the pictures
that memory brings before him would
not trouble him very much. w.hlle
others would stand aghast at the real-
ization tliat they had departed from
the truth.
We are brought fact to face with
with this fnct that our memories are
the products of our own acts. The
memory or the memories of the fu-
ture are in the making today. What
we are doing now will be part of that
which it will bc possible for us to
bring back for our consideration in
times to come. Every act in the
present goes into the making of the
picture ful' future consideration so
that by the recollection of the past
we are inclined to a greater care for
the picture of the future. lil this
way it is possible for us to turn to
advantage that in the past which now
causes us regret.
But when all is said and done there
still remain the unsatisfied longing
that these things might be blotted out,
that they might be tom out of the
book and be no more. Bu in vain
seems the search for relief. No reas-
oning of the philosopher can bring to
us an answer that will satisfy, no sys-
tem of ethics can givc to the aciiiiig
heart, thc peace that it desires, there
is no plan which our own minds can
conceive of which will quiet the long-
ing.. lt is triic that we can close the
book nlul be no more. But in vain
sight thc picture that is on\the page,
but the picture will still be there in
all its hideousiiess to be seen every
time we reopen the book. The shut-
ting out of the vision does not remove
the sting for the facts remain the
same. What we need is that which
will take away tha sting. and it is just
here that the gospel presents its rem-
edy. the good news of the redemption
for sin, the good news that the anton-
_ing blood of Jesus Christ is suiilcieiit
to take the sting out of the life which
has not been in harmony with God.
Jesus Christ not only offers ua salva-
tion from thc torment of the future.
hilt offers us deliverance from the tor-
ment that is iii thc present.
The nlclicmists of old spent thcir
years in the search of that which
would transform the bascr metals
into the precious, but the search was
fruitless. Through Jesus Christ God
works in you and me a more marvel-
ous change than this and the base
metals of our old natures is changed
into the precious metal of a renewed
life and the memories of past un-
worthiness are not only robbed of
their venom, but are made potent. in-
fluences in the developing of our lives
and the lives of others, for, after
nil, our memories concern not only
ourselves, hut the lessons we have
learned and the help we have received
may he passed on to others that they
t.oo may profit by our experiences.
WIT OF THE FORCE. ..
The policeman had a gambler bythe
arm and was waiting lor tho patrol

"What are you doing?" asked a
friend of the olliccr who happened to
be passing.
“l am holding a card party," replied
the cop.
Tho call of the blood has been heard
and answered by some of our kin who
are not politically our fellows, and the
call of the Empire hy citizens who are
not our kin in blood; and it is pleasant
to find Whlttler's name included ln
anthologies of patriotic British verse,
for in days when Britain and America
were farther apart he could write:
To-day America knows the Empire
to be fighting for the right and for the
freedom of a world.
When the stress is past and the task
done there will be a new outburst of
song of higher quality perhaps than
the heat of actual strife. Meanwhile,

Probably the most remarkable
building constructed wholly of ice was
the palace built on the Neva by the
Czarina Anne of Russia. Large blocks
of ice were cut and squared with
great care and laid on one another by
skilful masons, who cemented the
joints with water, which immediately
froze. The building, when completed
was 56 ft. long, 17% ft. broad and 21
