SI S Comments on L L Irr tx— ■■ ...a • .--v Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson. Songs of Thankfulness. Psalm 92:1-5; 103:211; for Sunday, August 7. In this lesson gratitude is elpressed because of spiritual blessings: songs of praise belong in public worship and in the life of Individuals who want to develop a sense of God’s presence and divine favor. V I "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto thy name. O most High.'' To give thanks to God is good for us and for those around us. It helps to divert our minds from our trials and troubles and to lift us above them. Most people undergo seasons when their spirits are depressed. It is our duty to return thanks both to God and to man for any favors or service rendered; thanksgiving enriches the soul who gives it and gladdens the one who receives it .Not to express gratitude to God is bad manners as is also not to lie grateful to others who befriend us. The practice of singing has a wholesome spiritual effect. V 2. "To show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the evening " Praises to God are best assured If there Is a system, a definite program. with morning and evening devotions. Prayer Just at perilous times has little merit: God is not to lie considered a big banker but a loving father full of loving kindness and faithfulness in providing and caring for all our needs. An evenly tempered life, well-balanced, has good spiritual habits, one of which is stated mented by a constant flow of grateful thoughts V 3. "Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery: upon the harp with a solemn sound" Music adds to individual praises as well as corporate worship where there are united voices of praise There is a place for emotion in worship, which is combined with mental conception* of divine truths. The head and heart need to function together. V. 4. "For thou. !«ord. hast made

is it our duty to help everybody who needs help? The answer is "No." We humans are limited in time, wisdom, and strength, and i( we undertake to help everybody, we shall soon be helping nobody. We need to be guided by the principle to help those first who need help most and go down the line as far as possible. Catalogue the list, such as those who are discouraged and need a word of cheer, those who are tried and tempted an need a guide, those who are seeking to live at their >est but are faltering, those in sorrow, the sick, the aged. But, help somebody today.” LESSON PRAYER: Lesson prayer: We pray for an increasing spirit of gratitude to God that there may flow out of ur hearts constant streams of mgs of praise. Grant that we nay so count our blassing* that >ur moods of depression may be Himinated. We pray that with >ther» we may produce choruses »f praise to God.

Gods pardoning grace covering sins in the heart makes possible our becoming his children; God's continual grace covers the sins of the head. V. 4. "Who redeemeth thy life j from destruction; who crowneth ' thee with loving kindness and tender mercies.” Here is gratitude of life eternal an<l God's loving : kindness and tender mercies. V. 5.

Though sometimes God punished Israel, he did not remain as a God constantly • dealing out penalties God ceases his chastening* as soon as his purpose is accomplished. V 10. "He hath not dealt with , uh after our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” God has not punished sinners as severely as they have deserved. V.lI. "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him." God's love can not be measured hy all the measures of the universe
