The Psalms We Sing
Lesson for September 25,, 1949
TT WOU.D be a most unusual person who on his dying bed would turn to the 23rd chapter of 1 Chroni-' cles and not to the 23rd Psalm. If the reader will
thimc of his own favorite passage of Scripture, and then look" them up in some edition whtcn prints the Bible in a modern format, he will discover that his favorite passages are probably all poetry.

Dr. Foreman
Poetry's Power N ' WHY the appeal of poetry? For one thing, it is vivid. It is in colors, not severe black and white. It lives and breathes, at times it shouts, fend it always sings. It Is true to say "The, provldeutial oversight of the Creator -is continuous and unremitting;" but it is more effective to say, "The Lord is my shepherd," It would be true to say, "The evidences of creative and beneficent purpose can be seen throughout all the orders of nature;" but how much more vivid is the 148th Psalm, calling on hail and fire, sun and -moon , and stars of light, to praise the Lord! Another secret of poetry's power is that it is the language of emotion. Professors and theologians may be saying the same things as the poet, and maybe even saying them more completely and accurately; but what they say is less easy to remember. So these emotional Psalms will always appeal, even to the professor when off duty, because they make us feet religion and not merely think it. Pictures of God SO IT IS no wonder the Psalms have been loved and sung all over the world. We are perhaps the only religion that has made so much use of another religion's hymn book. Different though our faiths may be, Jews and Christians can sing from the Psalter with one voice and heart. For centuries it was the hymnal of the Christian church. Indeed, up to recent years some large denominations would allow in public worship the singing of no other songs than the Psalms. Many of our best hymns and popular gospel songs, as we have already seen, are based on Psalms. "Rock of, Ages, cleft for me," "A Shelter in the Time of Storm," "Hiding in, Thee," they all go back to the Psalmist's picture of God as, a Rock (Ps. 42:9). The I'salmistwas not thinking of a little rock in a cornfield. He was thinking of some tall crag in thefierce hot landscape of his country. A rock there is a landmark, it is a shelter against the blazing sun, people could . live under its overhanging height. So Gnci is the landmark of life, he gives direction to our ways; he is the shelter on life's wears journey, he is our safe dwelling. . So with the many other pictures
. f God in the Psalms he is light.
he is shade, he i fluty at night wa
sleeping city (Ps. 121); he is a shepherd, he is water for the thirsting soul (Ps. 42.) , 1 J Model Hymnal JT IS true that few Christians tod;v can use in worship all of the Psalms, without omissions or changes It is also true that practically all Christian churches find that the Pfalms. by themselves, are inadequate to express all there I--: in Christian experience, faith and ideals. The Christian hymn, entirely independent of the Psalms, has long : ince come into its own. And yet ihe Psalms remain the model hymnal'. For in them beauty and truth are blended. . This should be the ideal of all Christian hymn and song books. Some of our modern "hymns" as .well as some older ones, a.re bad because they are no better than jingles, doggerel,
not poetry, and often sung to tunes better suited to a juke bos; and some are bad because Ihey cunvey either nonsense or downright; falsehood, ' But the great hymns, and the
best hymnals, are those which like the Psalms of old, combine profound truths about God and man, duty and destiny, with stately, stirring and singablemusic, aglow with the beauty and power of words.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Reality" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of
I Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Sep- , tember 25. , I ' The Golden Text is: "Thou, 0, i Lord, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation" (Lamentations 5: 19). , Among1 the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall bs established in the top of the mountains, id shall be exalted above the hills; and all naI tions shall flow unto it. And many ' people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his : ways, and we will walk in his paths: 0 house' of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord" (Isaiah 2: 2, 3, 5). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the ! Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ! ence and Health with Key to the 1 Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Spirit is eternal, divine. . Realityis spiritual, harmonious, immutable, immortal, divine, eternal" (p. 335).
-renection underlies reality. Without perfection, nothing is wholly real. All things will continue to disappear, until perfection appears and reality is reached" (p. 353). ST. MARY CHURCH Mass Schedule Sept 25 Sullivan, 7:30. Dugger, 9:30.
