Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Leeson, Festival Songs, Psalm 105:1-5; 117:1.2; 118:19-24, for Sunday, August 14. In today's lesson we have presentations of praises to God at festivals. The writer calls upon all the nations of the earth to praise the lx>rd on the ground of his great mercy and faithfulness. VI. "O give thanks unto the Lord; < all upon his name; make known his deeds among the people.” History Is not complete if it fails to recognize the over-rul-ing divine force which moves it to fulfil Its preordained etO He only reaches the true philosophy of history who finds God in history V. 2. "Sing unto him. sing Psalms unto him: talk ye of his wondrous works." People who have received blessings from God and answer to prayer and who are full of gratitude to him will naturally speak of what he has done when talking with others. V. 3. "Glory ye in his name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.” As a noble son rejoices in the nobility of character and attainments of his father, so inay we rejoice in the infinite resources and the moral perfection of our heavenly Father. V 4. "Seek the Ixird and his ttrength; seek his face evermore.” > To seek God's face is to seek his favor and the support that comes from one who is pleased with us. V. 5. "Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders and the judgments of his mouth.” Nothing would be more effective in creating gratitude in the Israelites and a grateful spirit. ■ than the memory of God's mighty works in Itringing them out of Egyptian bondage into the land of promise. Note that God's judc- > meats accompany his deliverance No one can presume on the mer- < ies of God. V. 6. "O ye seed of Abraham Ms servant., ye children of Jacob ! his chosen * The seed of Abraham have reasons io remember God | even though they forget him.

S< ientific minds have produced modern inventions but they have little knowledge of the spiritual life The scientists that are re nponsible for the atomic bomb are throwing up their hands and declaring those engaged in religion must hurry to produce a spiritual force, the only power that will defeat the destructive force of this the greatest destructive war instrument Now is the time .when we humans need to submit to the divine charge of receiving a spiritual power through a regenera tion of the Spirit, Clerlcus Says: cb-ricus says: “What a comfort it Is to know that the God whom we serve can control the winds and the waves, and is ever able to deliver us from impending calamity! It may not be his wifi to save us from untimely death. There have been martyrs and there may be martyrs yet. But trust in a God who can bring things to pass in his own time and way. according to his sill, is a source of courage and strength to every obedient soul."

|| V.l. "O praise the Lord, alt ye I {nations, praise him. all ye people.” i Here is an exhortation to the GenI! tiles to worship the God of Israel, jGod is the God of all nations, and jin the kingdom will be people from every tongue and tribe. V. 2. “For his merciful kindness . Is great toward ua; and the truth of the Ixird endurefh forever. Praise ye the Ixyd " In contrast with the deceptions of other gods, truthfulness and faithfulness in , fulfilling his promises are a characteristic of the true God. We can rest upon the promises of one who does not change and who | does not fail. V. 19. "Open to me the gates of righteousness; 1 will go into them, '.and 1 will praise the Lord." Likely these words were sung by the people in a religions procession, who were about to enter the temple gates. Since God is perfectly righteous, his house is to be regarded as holy and righteous. A sense of awe needs to flood the soul in entering his house; this attitude is well expressed in silence before the worship service begins. V.M. "This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous enter." It is most natural for the righteous to want to enter God's house. V. 21. “I will praise thee; for thou hast heard me. and art become my salvation.” These are chorus words as the people proceed into the temple Salvation is I the great worship theme. builders refused Is become the head stone of the corner. ’ Israel Is the stone, rejected as of no account in the political plan of those who were trying to shape the destinies of the Eastern nations, but in the purpose of God to a chief place in history. The emblem applies with the fullest meaning to our Lord, who though rejected by the Jewish authorities, was nevertheless destined to unite both and Gentiles to one vast and glorious building. V 23. "This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes." The return of the Jews t<>day despite all opposition is marvelous. V. 24. "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will re. : Joice and be glad in it." God't i children are happy for the return ; of Sabbaths.

LESSON PRAYER: , Lesson Prayer: We pray thee to tunc our hearts to sing thy praise at all times. Grant that we rejoice with others as we march along to Zion.

No defenders were at hand to contradict the falsehood, no friends to encourage him to resist the temptors. So. at last, he believed them. The door had been closed on him forever.

When one suffers patiently, one suffers less. The future is shaped out of the past; hence, whatever you can do to live bravely without complaining will help you to live some future day of Joyful contentment.
