Truth Set to Music Lesson for November 21, 1948 'TpHE opposite of poetry is not prose; it is science." There were poets in the world long before there were scientists, but that does not prove that poets are out of date. Many people in our modern world think we could not get along without science but could well burn all the books of poetry. If we did, it would be a dreadful mistake. Poet and scientist each has his truth to see and to speak. Dr. Foreman We need them both. Certainly if we tried to burn all the poems we should have to destroy some of the best-loved parts of the Bible. Not All Poets Have Long Hair SOME "practical" people sniff at poets for being peculiar. "Longhairs" is a slang name for them as for other people who know something besides arithmetic. As a matter of fact, many poets are very practical people themselves; engineers, farmers and soldiers all have written poetry. The poets of the Bible are of many sorts. If you will look into an edition of the Bible in which the poetic sections are printed as poetry is printed in other books, you will be im- . pressed by the very large proportion of poetry, especially in the Old Testament. The new Study Bible or the 'American Revised Version or Moffatfs translation will show this at a glance. These Bible poems are of various kinds. Some are warsongs (Judges 5), some are proverbs (the book of Proverbs), drama (Job), love-songs (the Song of Songs), odes (Isaiah 40), prayers (Psalm 16), hymns for public worship (the Psalms). The writers were never professional poets, so far as we know. Of the poems which are this week's lesson Scripture, two were written by housewives, one by a sheep-herder, one or more by a soldier-king, one by a preacher (Habakkuk), and only one (Lamentations) possibly by a professional poet. The original Hebrew book of Lamentations does not claim Jeremiah for its author; but if he was the writer, then it was written by the most practical man of his time. World's Greatest Hymn Book t T ET me write a nation's songs, -L'and I care not who writes their laws," said a famous man. The same thing can be said about religion. "Let me write a church's hymnbook, and I care not who writes their theologies." The hymns our mothers loved, the hymns we heard before we beard any other kind of poetry, the hymns that we have learned by heart and that become a part of our minds, these mean far more to most people than all the printed ereeds Now the Christian religion is a singing religion. Our very first hymnbook Was the Book of Psalms, and ail the hymnals since, down to the present day, grew out of this one book in the Bible. It Is the greatest hymnbook in the world; not the longest nor the oldest, but the greatest in its influence for good upon mankind. Poetry Was in Jesus Blood OF OUR Lord Jesus himself, it truly can be said, poetry was in his veins. He came of a poetic family.' His most famous ancestor, David, was a poet; another royal ancestor, Hezekiah, wrote poetry. The book he knew best, the Old Testament, was full of poetry. His own mother Mary, before he was born, sang a song of her own making, so beautiful that it is still sung in Christian churches and loved the world around. . When Jesns died on the cross, two of the last seven sentences that came from his lips were . Quotations from the Psalms. The ' poetry of bis people was in his blood, for in his last agony the words that came from his breaking heart were words first spoken by the poets of the Bible long ago. So It Is always. "Truth in song will tarry long." Today and always, the parts of the Bible which are most cherished, the parts most often learned by heart, the parts which we carry with us to the. valley of the shadow of death, are the truths set to music, ldng centuries ago, by inspired "men who knew how to clothe truth with garments of shining and immortal loveliness.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Soul and Body" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on. Sunday, November 21. The Golden Text is: "Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for uinto thee, 0 Lord, do I lift up my soul" (Psalms 86:4). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: '-'The' light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness" (Matthew 6:22, 23). "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him" (Colossians 3:9, 10). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Man understands spiritual existence in proportion as his treasures of Truth and Love are enlarged. . . . The pains of sense are salutary, if they wrench away false pleasurable beliefs and transplant the affections from sense to Soul, where the creations of God are good, 'rejoicing the heart'" (p. 265).

History tells us that our pilgrim fathers did not celebrate that first Thanksgiving Day alone. To their feast they invited a band of friendly Indians. The copper-skinned guests could not understand pale-face theology. But they did understand friendship and thankfulness. In their own way, they had for centuries worshipped the Great Spirit. Men of faith are easily drawn together by their common belief in a being greater than themselves. Though they be of different nations or races, they can appreciate and respect each other's spiritual searching. ' - We should be thankful today that across most of the earth the Christian religion is a unifying bond. By supporting our own Church, while respecting the faith of others, we can strengthen that unity.
