Description:Excerpt from The Old and the New: Two Sermons Preached in St. Paul's Church, Philadelphia the Last Sunday of 1902 and the First Sunday of 1903 Paul does not mean that he absolutely forgot everything in the past. He never forgot the days when he was a persecutor - the memory of his violent opposition to Christ in years past stirred him to the last to more earnest and hearty devo tion to his Redeemer, to burn out the old shame in flames of love and service. He never forgot his friends. His epistles are full of grate ful mentions of those who in days gone had shown him kindness. He never forgot the good ness of God. His life was one long anthem of joy. Paul does not mean any such forgetting as this. Yet there is a forgetting which is part of every one's duty. Forgetting the things which are behind. We are about at the ending of the year. There are many things that we should not carry out of this old year into a new. When a family is removing from one house to another, especially if they have been quite a while in the old house, there are likely to be many things that they would better leave behind, either having an auction or a bonfire. There is rubbish in most of our lives that we should get rid of before we enter the New Year's paths. A friend of mine has written a little book which she calls The Evolution of a Girl's Ideal. The text of the book is a sentence which the author says she found somewhere a good while ago The way of life is wonderful; it is by abandon ment. Most people believe that the way of life is by acquisition, by getting things, by adding to their possessions. The way to grow rich is to keep all you have and continue to add to your wealth - saving and accumulating. By and by, if we are wise, we learn that it is by abandonment, by giving up things, by leaving things behind, by growing away from things and ideals, that we really grow.
