HOW THE MEMORY MAY BE IMPROVED

"Without memory our lives would be a dreary waste. The past would be a blank. The present a fretful and perplexing hour. Without a recol- lection of the past we would find very little encouragement in looking into the future. With the storehouse of our memories well filled with past events, many pleasant scenes of our past lives are brought in review before us. Even our sufferings and disappointments, when recollected in connection with the relief that may have come to us, and our deliverance from the apparent accidents and dangers to which we found ourselves exposed, all have a tendency to encourage us for the future. A recollection that the same or similar help may come to us in the future that sustained us in the past will enable us to move forward in the struggles of life and trust in the same powers and forces for protection that sustained us in the past. All persons are endowed with this faculty, but some in a much higher degree than others. While there are natural endowments, and some have much better memories than others, it is undeniably true that by neglecting to exercise and cultivate this faculty it becomes enfeebled, while, on the other hand, by a proper course of training and a systematic exercise, the memory may be strengthened beyond the highest conceptions of those who have not made suitable and systematic efforts in this direction.
