42. They remembered not his hand. Yet it
must have been difficult to forget it. Such displays of divine power as those
which smote Egypt with astonishment, it must have needed some more than usual
effort to blot from the tablets of memory. It is probably meant that they
practically, rather than actually, forgot. Nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. The day itself was erased from their calendar, so far
as any due result from it or return for it. Strange is the faculty of memory in
its oblivions as well as its records. Sin perverts people’s powers, makes them
forceful only in wrong directions, and practically dead for righteous ends.
