"I will Bay of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fort ress; My God in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Lesson Text; Psalm 34: 3-8; 37: 3-6; ' . r 46: 1-3. While the Psalms are poetry, there is a difference between Hebrew .poetry and English poetry. Hebrew poetry is recognized neither by rhyme nor meter. It is characterized by par - allelism of lines and rhythm of ac v cent. This parallelism may consist of two lines, a couplet; three lines, a triplet; four lines, a quatrain; six lines,, a sextet, or eight lines,' an octet. Often the second . parallel line matches the first in meaning. In the greater part of the Psalms, this is true. Every other line could be omitted and still there would be readable poetry. But, sometimes, .the second parallel line, instead of being similar in meaning to the first, has the op posite meaning, as The Lord Knoweth the way of the righteous But the way of the Ungodly shall perish. For our lesson this week, we are studying the Psalms of Trust. The trust which the psalms, selected for our study, express was not the re sult of a care-free and sheltered exist- ence but the note of hard-earned tri umph over adversity. Thus comes their appeal to troubled believers. Psal n 34 begins by an acknowledge ment of the rightful place of God in human life that of the central ' place. The soul that really knows God is always pcaising Him for his goodness to it. Trust in God delivers the man of. faith from the uncertainty and fear which come with the inability to see ones' way through the confu sion of a world in turmoil. No one who has had the experience of trust in God can help wanting others to share it. Verse 3 is an in vitation to join with the psalmist in praise to the God who makes him self the Guardian of his people. The psalmist gives .his personal testimony that when he' sought the' Lord, the Lord wir "there f ad delivered"' Khi of his troubles. Out of his great as surance of : the presence of God, the psalmist' appeals to those who have not yet found the key to the happy Ufa to make the great adventure of faith, to accept the divine invitation, to find for themselves .that the great claims of religion are a glorious fact. The 37th Psalm contrasts the lives of those whose trust is in the Lord with that out-and-out worldling whose . soul is centered in himself and in the world. While those who make worldly , success their main goal in life attain it more frequently and in larger mea sure than those who 'put it in second ary place, the psalmist says there is no real ground for envy.' The pros perity of the worldling is transitory. It is only a summer-time wealth which he enjoys, and, like, the green ness of summer foliage, it will wither under the uhill breath of the autumn of adversity which is sure to come. Wealth may never be the portion of the God-fearing man, he may never gain a place of, high importance in y this world, but of his integrity, the strength and beauty of his character, there will never be any doubt He will . have moral and spiritual riches which the world can never give and', in these things," he will find an abiding peace which the rich man can never hope to know. ' J The 46th Psalm is a great hymn of confidence,; sung above the uproar of a world of conflict in which the great foundations are shaken and nothing 'is secure any more. In time of crisis and terror, this ' psalm i has been a " source of the deepest comfort to hard' : pressed souls of every ' time and every place. Surely, this psalm is needed for our own time in whichnothing seems secure and a great fear is over . all the face of the; earth." Down the ages comes the steadying command. "Be still, and know' that I am God." Earle M. Hand, in The Secret Place, '. asks a -pertinent question: "Do we "'"wish-to -have' irsinginr heart? The v key is in ourf own hands with, which 'to unlock the door, fa happiness If we acommlt our lives wholly to' Christ, :: trust him in .-all .things,., 'casting, all your care upon him; for ha careth for " yon,' he wul give us singing Hearts'. ' Try it for yourself! - Jt. , f k BE A BETTER CITIZEN! GO TO SOME : NEXT CUifDAY TIIExJOmSQNS OF CHURClTVlLUc. v Just a typical American family, living in a typical American town: Mr. Johnson had to climb the ladder of success the hard way but he kept on climbing.' Mrs. Johnson smiled her way to happiness smiling through weariness, smiling even through tears. Marian's life seemed to blossom overnight from dolls to dates, and with the blossoming came a beauty that is more than skin deep. - And little "Chip," for all of the mischief in his merry eyes, shows promise of the same honest courage that folks admire in "the old block." A certain church one of the churches for which their town was named has' been mighty dear to the hearts of the Johnsons all these years. Their loyalty, their energy, their unselfish generosity have helped to make it "a fine church. And that church, through the God-given truth it Is teaching, has helped make the Johnsons "fine' people."
