(Lesson Text j Psalm 139) i he need not attempt to hide any thing from him. In this psalm, we are also con fronted with the omnipresence of God. God is everywhere. Not in the sticks and stubbles, or rocks and images of the heathen, but His spirit hovers over us any and .everywhere we may be. He is not confined with in the four walls of any temple, or toy a sacred mountain,, or to any one nation. He is present everywhere and is available to every sincere, Scott Ofe Thema For Fa North Carolina1 84th annual State Fair, to be held at Raleigh, October 8 through 12, will be dedicated to the purposes and principles of the cam paign "For Balanced Prosperity in the 6buth 1940-50," Commissioner of Agriculture W.

While the definite time of the writing of this beautiful Psalm is not known, we can be sure from its context that it was written during the time of King David and best Biblical students believe it was writ ten by David himself. Another fact that is practically certain is that it was written during David's mature r inter vears. because his concep- . tion of God was the product oi ion, years of experience with God. What is your conception 'of God? . Do you 'think of Him as an austere judge, keeping records of your ac- - ' tions, anxious to condemn your mis takes? Or, do you think of Him as , your Heavenly Father, who, while not condoning your sins and mistakes, is , ever near to help you, guiae yuu, and, while necessarily punishing you for your wrong doings, lovingly re . stores you unto Himself whan you repent of your sins and ask His for- giveness ? ? It is upon our individual concep I tion of God that this lesson hinges. If we think of God as a strict judge, ' then the thought of His presence everywhere, His knowing every thought and action, naturally fill .our hearts with fear and dread, be- -r ..- : .nirf and wfi cause none oi uo io yciiv all, at times, fall far short of doing what we know to be in accordance with the will of God. The idea of an j all-seeing God brings terror to the f heart of any person who cherishes some secret sin, and well it mayi Does the thought of the Psalmist, "Thou are acquainted with all my , ways," bring joy or terror? To the heart of the Psalmist the realization of God's intimate knowl edge of him did not frighten him in any way. He realized that God knew him, inside and out, but he was also reassured in the belief that God's was an understanding knowledge, full of sympathy for his weaknesses and HOME 'AUD GARDEN CLUB MET FRIDAY AFTERNOON , The Home and Garden Demonstra tion ClUb met with Mrs. Z.
