MEDITATION
When \%e have really found Christ ourselves, the best
way to bring others is just to tell them what Christ is to us.
One word of genuine and hearty confession of Christ by a
person whose soul is full of the new-found joy. is worth more
than the most eloquent sermons to lead others to believe in
Christ. Let us be sure that people know from us that we
have really found Christ; then they cannot but be impressed.
It will surely be a sad pity if we should so live that they will
not suspect that we are Christians."

The Psalms We Sing
Lesson for September 25, 1949
IT WOULD be a most unusual per
son who on his dying bed would
turn to the 23rd chapter of I Chroni
cles and not to the 23rd Psalm. If
the reader will
think of his own
favorite passage of
Scripture, and then
look them up in
some edition which
orints the Bible in
a modern format,
he will discover
that his favorite
passages are
probably all
poetry.
Dr. Foreman
Poetry's Power
WHY the appeal of poetry? For
one thing, it is vivid. It is in
colors, not severe black and white,
[t lives and breathes, at times it
shouts, and it always sings.
It is true to say "The provi
dential oversight of the Creator
is continuous and unremitting;"
but it is more effective to say,
"The Lord is my shepherd." It
would be true to say, "The evi
dences of creative and bene
ficent purpose can be seen
throughout all the orders of na
trre;" but how much more
vivid is the 148th Psalm, call
in? on hail and fire, sun and
moon and stars of light, to
praise the Lord!
Another secret of poetry's powei |
is that it is the language of emo 1
ti< m. Professors and theologians
may be saying the same things as J
he poet, nnd maybe even saying !
t ' 1 e -n more completely and accu J
at el j*; but what they say is less J
asy to remember.
So these emotional Psalms will
.!\vays appeal, even to the profes
when off duty, because they
: l:e us feel religion and not mere
ly think it.
? ? ?
Pictures of God
??0 IT IS no wonder the Psalms
have been loved and sung all
cr the world. We are perhaps the
lv religion that has made sc
? inch use of another religion's
i a bock. Different though our
f.:?hs may be. Jews and Christians
c in sing from the Psalter with one
voice and heart.
For centuries It was the
hymnal of the Christian church.
Indeed, up to recent years
some la rue denominations
would allow in public worship
the singing of no other songs
than the l'salms.
?.!. ny of our best hymns and pop
;1 gospel songs, as we have al
? :.dy seen, are based on Psalms,
i. ck of Apes, cleft for me." "A
v.clter in the Time of Storm,"
Hiding in Thee," ? they all go
: ck to the Psalmist's picture of
Jod as a Rock (Ps. 42:9). The
'salmist was not thinking of a
ittle rock in a cornfield. He was
hinking of some tall crag in the
icrce hot landscape of his coun
ry.
A j-ock there is a landmark, it is
i shelter against the blazing sun,
>cople could live under its over
langing height.
So God is the landmark of
life, he gives direction to our
ways; he is the shelter on life's
weary journey, he is our safe
dwelling.
So with the many other pictures
Df God in the Psalms? he is light,
ne is shade, he is the guard on
duty at night watching over the
sleeping city (Ps. 121); he is a
shepherd, he is water for the thirst
ing soul (Ps. 42.)
A Model Hymnal
[T IS true that few Christians to- !
day can use in worship all ol
:he Psalms, without omissions 01 i
changes. It is also true that prac
tically all Christian churches find
:hat the Psalms, by themselves
are inadequate to express all there
s in Christian experience, faith am!
ideals.
The Christian hymn, entirely in
iependent of the Psalms, has lonj
since come into its own. And ye'
he Psalms remain the model hym i
lal. For in them beauty end trutl
ire blended.
This should be the ideal of all
Christian hymn and song books.
Some of our modern "hymns"
as well as some older ones,
arc bad because they arc no
brtter than jingles, ? doggerel,
not poetry, and often sung to
tunes better suited to a juke
box; and some arc bad because
they convey either nonsense or
! downright falsehood.
But the great hymns, and the
j Dest hymnals, are those which like
i he Psalms of old, combine pro
ound truths about God and man,
iuty and destiny, with stately, stir
-ing and singable music, aglow with
. he beauty and power of words.

THE SID CLAY family that lives
[>n a little road that is difficult to
travel (it should receive attention
by the state at an early date), is
one of the most industrious fami
lies I have visited of late. Ruth
Bagwell and I drove over to see
Ihem a few days ago and were
delighted to see the modern con
veniences Mrs. Clay has in the
home ? electric refrigerator and
washing machine, gas range, and
running water ? and the outstand
ing job of farming Mr. Clay does.
He has some of the prettiest corn
I have seen this year, and his
crop of Golden Delicious apples
is larger than the average in
Western North Carolina. He is one
cf the few farmers that have kept
their apple orchards producing
through the years. We came away
with some of the choicest apples
in the lot. Mr. Clay commenting,
"The editor deserves the best." It
is gratifying to know that rural
families now have the conveniences
that relieve much drudgery. Mrs.
Clay savs. "My children have given
me many of these things, and I
cm thankful for them."

from the bed where she is confin

she wanted to see the new home
of Opal and Verlin Crisp at
Peachtree. so we drove out there.
The Crisps have a beautiful roek
home, with living room, dining
room, kitchen, three bedrooms,
and bath, with extra space in the
basement and attic, and it appears
that it will soon be ready for
occupancy. They also have a
beautiful view from the front of
the home. The house is built near
