Mr. Forget-Good

"The Diabolonian Recorder—is the besetting sin of most men. It thinks and reflects on evil, and forgets the good—"

“The evil things it writes on stone,
The good it writes on water!”

"It catches at the straws that float upon the surface, and gives no heed to the weightier matters, and more abiding good, hidden beneath the waters of the stream. This spirit of forgetfulness lays up no store of good and holy thoughts, no treasures of a consecrated memory, no remembrance of the Holy Word. The soul is utterly empty and void of all supply for Christian meditation, contemplation, and waiting upon God."[2]
