Stabilizer For Uncertain [life Is Awareness Os God ISalmint of Old, in Sublime Poem, SetH Forth Reason Why Men Should Be Glad and (■rateful — A Cure for “Nerves” — Faith Foresees Peace.

By WILLIAM T. ILLIS waasMiaMadb We were haelni ■ party for little IJoekle on the porch of onr <’ana dial) log cabin camp, when the local preacher <atne Io viait na Hll arity waa high Beery one present wore a fancy paper cap, bronght from New York by Duckies moth er. Colored balloons floated about. Our farmer guest had a charcoal black eye. from a Irkk kaleldo scope Dockle had shown him. Nobody thought to esplain the strange doings to the parson "1 wonder what he will tbtnk of the Ellis camp" afterward com men ted one member of the household. Another replied: “I hope he will think of us aa a happy < rowd who have a place for joy In their program. Had he come on Sunday morning he would have found us In a service of worship In the evenings he would find us listening to the radio s world news But I am pleased that he saw a family definitely taking time to be merry." Joy is an essential part of life God means u all to be happy, but we stupid mortals often thwart His plans for oar Ilves. Nature s c horus is one of gladness, only seldom in our woods camp do we bear a cry of distress from birds or beasts. Night and day are made melodious by the wild treat urea rejoicing Hearmi. we are told, la filled with Jubilant song. t»nly mortals go grouching and .omplalnIng through the days, sometimes even making a cult of misery. Time Out fee Joy 80 today, with tkle malcbleaa psalm ot praise as our ihemt. we take time out to be glad. For the moment we ignore our own and the worlds troubles, and simply remember God, who. after all. Is the essential source of Joy. Os all the reasons for human happiness the profouadest and most abiding is the character of the Creator. Lrt us give our minds a vacation from the world's woes and worries, c aused by man's sinning, and muse- upon the mercies of God. as the Psalmist enumerates them. L*t us worship by praise, without petition tine of the many charms of sev-en-year-old Dockle Is that he remembers to say "Thank you". Times without number his "Thank you. Grandfather.' has made glad my heart, I am no such mannerly child of the Heavenly Father. I take life’s good thing* as a matter of course as If they were my right Hurrly, God is glad when Hi* children look up Into His face, and say, as Jesus said, "I thank Thee Father." For Hia goodness surrounds our Ilves like the atmosphere Stevenson's verse Is familiar. '!f I have faltered more or less In my great task ot happiness; If I have moved among my race And shown no glorious morning face; If beams from happy human eyes Have moved me not; If morning skies Hooka, and my food, and summer rain Knocked on my sullen heart In vain. Lord. Thy moat pointed pleasure take And stab my spirit broad awake Gifts in Greek Chtm-hos fl would be jtnfalr to suggeM that the quality of gratitude ts wholly lacking amongst Christians There are myriads who give large thanks for little. A curious usage tn the Orthodog ot Greece calls for tokens of thanksgfving to be hid upon the altsr 80 I have seen curious collection* in many churches. Here la a mln lature silver automobile from a worshipper who has been delivered irately from a highway accident Many model ships, of varying de green of workmanship, testify to the gratitude of seafarers Doll* represent children who have recovered from illness or ac< Went. The variety I* endless, and the symbolism la Inspiring.

lon the fly leaves of thrir I’iMe* tor every remembered special pro vldenre of the Lord: they would soon have to insert estra fly-leav-es. "Forget not all His benefits," is the adjuration of the Psalmist to bis own soul "Remember" is an oft-recurring word In the Bible. One comments, "Our joyles* Ilves are often due to bad memories ' We are too seldom definitely con•does of the bounties of our Heavenly Father. Perhaps the greatest religious defect In our Ilves Is taking God tor granted. We forget that His constant care is definitely dealing with us. day by day These are times to "count your blessings", while not indifferent to the world’* sufferings we are to name to ourselves, one by one. the heaped-up benefits of which we are the rec ipients. "Bless the laird. O my soul, and forget not all Illa benefits; Who torgiveth all thine Iniquities, who heab-tb all thy diseases. Who redeemeth thy lite from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfleth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is re newed like the eagle's. The Lord egecuteth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed He made known IDs ways unto Moee*. Ills acts unto the children of Israel The Lord to merciful and gracious. slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Many voices are saying that the world to now being punished for Its ■lns This to tree, and the comprehensive awfulness of the chastisement to evidence of the enormity of our waywardness and offending Htlll It remains true, a* the |>sslml*t says that "He bath not dealt with us after our sins Nor rewarded us after our Iniquities." "As tar as the east to from the west, so far bath He removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pltletb bls children, so the Lord pitieth his children laird pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame.
