WITH a poem, the best thing to do is not to listen to a professor analyzing it. This may be of some help if the poem is an obscure one. But where the words are simple, you don’t need a professor. What you need to do is to listen to someone read it who knows how to read

and who loves i poetry, or to read • it aloud to your- i self, for poetry is i not intended for the eye but for i the ear. Let the ; poem Itself speak to you. If it is not | too long, let it I literally become I a part of you.

Dr. Foreman

That is to say, commit it to memory, file it in your little grey cells so that you will always be able to find it. Millions of people have done just this with what is perhaps the most widely loved poem in the world, the 23rd Psalm. Gad the Shepherd No commentary can improve on it, and this column does hot pretend to do anything but set down di foot-note of two to an inspired masterpiece. The first footnote is on this picture of God as a Shepherd. One thing this brings out is the vast difference between God and ourselves. The shepherd can get along by himself; the sheep cannot. The sheep knows only what is just a few feet in front of him. Me has a poor memdry and, very poor judgment. The Shepherd has to think ahead all the time. There are notions of religion that speak of God as the "man upstairs’* and similar familiar expressions. There are notions about God that put him down on a sort of buddy-buddy basis with ourselves. How silly! Some people even think that if they just pray hard enough, that Is, if they want something enough and keep nagging God long enough, he is bound to see it their way and let them have what they ask. Gad Cam far Ma , It has been found that one good I way to read this Psalm is to read it aloud, emphasizing the personal •pronouns. The Lord is my Shepiherd; I shall not want ... I shall fear no evil, for Thou are with me . . . Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me '. . . Religion has to be in the first person singular or it isn’t real You can go all your life knowing this Shepherd. Psalm by heart, and„thinking What a lovely picture this is, of God the Shepherd of his people. But then one day you make the psalm your own, not in mind only but in heart—the Lord is MY Shepherd!—and then it simply comes alive. It helps, too, to remember the difference between a shepherd in David’s time (and still, in that country) and a sheep-herder today. A farmer, in Kentucky for instance, who raises sheep just has them in a big pasture well fenced in. He has to keep his eye on them, all right, but then he can go to town or do other things. In a big green pasture a sheep can't do itself too much damage. But in Palestine, with no big green pasture, only little narrow strips of green along creek beds in rocky ravines, with jackals and other animals always on the prowl on the wild unfenced hillsides, the shepherd simply has to be there protecting and guiding each sheep personally or they will be ruined. So God the Shepherd cares for me, individually, he protects me', fights for me, he does not intend that I should be lost. The Paths of God Some kinds of religion, even some kinds of the Christian religion, think of God as living in some sublime heaven, watching man as he toils along his low and winding trail. The picture in this beloved Psalm is quite different. The Shepherd travels with his sheep, from one pasture to another. When one stream or water hole dries up, the Shepherd knows where another is, and leads the flock there. So the Bible reveals to us a God who, hard as this may be to believe, actually shares our afflictions, is close beside us at every step. So the paths the flock of God follow are his paths, not because he laid them out but because they are the paths where he goes. They are not easy. The peace of God is not freedom from danger. The paths of God go by cliffs where falling rocks threaten; they lead to springs and streams that will die in summer’s heat, they descend among the shadows of death, they are within sight of God’s enemies and ours. But since they are God’s paths, we walk secure, knowing MU choice is always best. Thursday Bethel: .. 8:00 p.m. Prayer Meeting Wood Chapel: 8:00 p.m. Prayer Meeting and Youth Fellowship.

Three Kinds Os Givers Rev. James R. Meadows There are three kinds of givers: the flint,' the sponge, and the honeycomb. To get anything out of a flint, you must hammer it, and then you get only chips and sparks. To get water out of a sponge you must squeeze it, and the more, you squeeze, the more you will get. But the honeycomb Just overflows with its own sweetness. Some ptople are stingy and hard, they give nothing away if they can help -it.- -* r “ Others are good natured. They yield to pressure, and the more they are pressed, the more they will give. A few' delight In giving without being asked at all; and of these the Bible says: "The Lord loveth
