Improved Uniform International Sunday School ' Lesson' (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©. 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for June 23 A PSALM OF PRAISE LESSON TEXT—Psalm 103:1-22. GOLDEN TEXT—Bless the Lord, O my soul. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Song of Praise. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Song of Praise. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC — The Privilege of Worshiping GM YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Habit of Thankfulness. This beautiful psalm of praise follows one of the importunate pleadings for help in time of great need. Andrew Bonar calls it “A Song of a Redeemed One by the Redeemer’s Side.” If is entirely given up to praise; not a single supplication being found in iL I. Adoration for Personal Benefits (vv. 1-5). The Psalmist cal's upon his soul to bless God's holy name. Man’s whole nature, intellectually and spiritually, is called upon to adore God. Note the benefits recognized by the Psalmist: 1. “Forgiveth al) thine Iniquities” (v. 3) Pardon of our sins Is the most important of all God's benefits. 2. “Healeth all thy diseases” (v. 3). Healing here refers to that of the body and the soul. Renovation of the entire nature, especially the moral, fol lows forgiveness of sins. 3. “Redeemeth thy life from destruction” (v. 4). The siimer Is tn the position of a debtor. All the demands made against him because of his «ins, were paid by Jesus Christ. 4. “Crowneth thee with loving kindness” (v. 4). The redeemed one not only has forgiveness of sins, hut is invested with the full rights of heavenly citizenship. 5. “Satisfieth thy mouth” (v. 5). When one enters into saving relationship with Christ he does not incur loss, but great gain. He is not deprived of any rights. He experiences the renewal of his youth. To receive Christ is to enjoy great gain. 11. Praise for God’s Excellencies (vv. 6-13). The Psalmist new looks away from the benefits bestowed to the very quality of the being who bestowed them. True gratitude goes past the gifts to the giver. 1. His justice (v. 6). “He executeth righteousness.” God is always against the oppressor and on the side of rhe oppressed. This points to the time when Messiah's reign shall extend over the whole world 2. He reveals Himself (v 7). This He did in a peculiar way to Moses and the children of Israel. The very name Jehovah means Self-revealing One (Ex. 3:14). God created man in His likeness and image in order that He might not only reveal Himself, hut that He might share His goodness with the creature. 3. Merciful and gracious (v. 8). As a sinner man needs pardon and favor. God in His mercy pardons the sinner who calls upon Him and through His grace He bestows favors upon him God's wrath is ever against and must strike at sin. Yet it is slow to act. He is plenteous in mercy. 4. Not always contending (v. 9) God's love for His children moves Him to contend with them. When they turn from their sin. He ceases to chas ten them. God holds no grudges. He forgets our stubborn follies as soon as we turn from them. 5. Gods forgiveness (vv. 10-13). This forgiveness is manifested in His not dealing with us according to our sins, in showing supreme mercy, in putting away sin as far as the East is from the West, and In fatherly pity. We usually think to praise God for what He has done. How much we ought to praise Him for what lie has refrained from doing. 11l Man’s Frailty and God’s Eternity (vv. 14-19). 1. His frailty (vv. 14 16). (1) He is hut dust (v. 14). God con Stituted man’s body out of the dust of the ground, therefore He knows his frailty. (2) His days are as grass (v. 15). He flourishes as the flower of rhe field. As the grass disappears under a blighting wind (v. 16). so a small blast from God will destroy man’s life. 2. God’s eternity (vv. 17-19). God’s goodness and mercy are from ever lasting to everlasting. This goodness and mercy He shows from generatlor to generation. God is absolutely unchangeable. IV. Call to Universal Thanksgiving (vv 20 22) Since His dominion is over all. It calls for recognition by all. I. Angels (v. 20) Intelligent spirits that hear His messages and go on His errands are called upon to praise and adore Him. 2 His hosts (v. 21) By hosts here is likely meant the sun, moon and stars. They are called upon to give Him due praise (Ps 19:1). 3 His works (v. 22). Whatever He has done, whether in creation, providence or redemption His works make known His marvelous goodness. Beauty From the Beautiful Consider that all which appears beautiful outwardly, is solely derived from the invisible Spirit which is the source of that external beauty, anti say joyfully. “Behold, these are streamlets from the uncreated fountain : behold, these are drops from the infinite ocean of all good! Oh! how does my inmost heart rejoice at tire thought of that eternal, infinite beauty, which is the source and origin of all created beauty.” Jesus Without Place of Abode A certain scribe came and said unto Him. Master. I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him. The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not v here to lay his head.—Matthew 8:19, 20 .

“A Daniel Come to Judgment!”

New York.—The weighty legal opinion involved that great modern question : Might a girl of eighteen have a beau —or mightn’t she? All girlhood’s future was at stake as pretty Josephine Pupica of Yon kers faced the bar of justice in Yon kers before Judge C. W. Boole. Josephine had been haled to court by her mother for running away to a relative's home because she would not live up to the parent’s rules of never associating with boys, handing Dver all her weekly wages, never staying out later than 10 p. m. and never visiting girls at night. The girl’s lips quivered and a tear trickled down as she told the stern j :ourt:

THE NONCONFORMIST J By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK I i Dean of Men, Univer»ity of ? ; Illinois. f Speaking of one of our well-known political leaders who has constantly been on the oth-

er side no matter what Issue was being considered or what action was being advocated. one writer says of him: “He is a nonconformist an d proud of it. His cue is to find out what tiiose associated with him think is wise, and

- is

then to do his best in embarrassing them in realizing the success of their undertaking. He is of the team but never with it. He never wants to go n the same direction as the rest, at the same time. It seems though he makes it his business to find out what his supposed friends and allies want to do, and then opposes it.” A great many people feel that it shows wisdom to find fault with whatever is being done, to pick flaws in whatever seems to have in it virtue or merit, to pull in the opposite direction. They have no idea of the meaning of co-operation; they have never realized the power of team work. Robbins is a nonconformist. He thinks most of our social customs pop-py-cock, and he considers it a virtue to ignore them. For years he refused to wear a necktie. It was only when golfers and young sportsmen began

. - Expert Handles His Last Snake

New York. —For more than 30 years Charles E. Snyder, former head keeper of mammals and reptiles at the New York zoological garden in Bronx park, befriended snakes. He fed them, made pets of some, and pointed to their comparative harmlessness and utility in public lect u res. His Interest In reptiles led the veteran keeper on periodic trips to capture more of them. One morning, in the Ramapo mountains, one of them struck for the liberty of Its mate, which was almost In Snyder’s grasp. The former keeper died, a victim of rattlesnake poison which anti venom serum failed to halt. Dr. Raymond L. DU mars, curator of mammals and reptiles at the Bronx zoo, had_ rushed serum to him nt the Good Samaritan hospital In Suffern, N. Y. Snyder, who was fifty-seven, died about 24 hours after the two poison fangs had sunk into the back of his left hand. It took him five hours to

“I had to run away, your honor. Listen to those rules.” So the Judge listened and then he pondered. It may be that he thought of the time when he used to have an occasional date with a pretty brunette. “1 will lay down some new rules,” he declared. “You may remain out later than 10 o’clock. Say 11 or thereabouts. “You may keep some of your earn Ings T<>r yourself ami also you may visit other girls at night. “You may select your own clothes." “But,” exclaimed the defendant, “er. how about a hoy fr—” The court interposed, a twinkle In his eye. “Oh. yes." he remarked. “You may

running about with their shirt collars open that Robbins took to cravats. No one has ever been able to get him into evening clothes. He wears an old fashioned cut-a way coat while doing his chores about the house, ami gets into a business suit when lie Is dressing for any formal function. He eats his salad with a spoon and drinks tea from a saucer, and considers bimself a reformer, while other people look upon him as something of a boob. Young Spradling Is another variety of the nonconformist. He thinks Mr. Volstead was crazy when he conceived prohibition; he pays no attention to the law. Nothing gives him so great a thrill as to drink publicly and copiously. Thirty-five miles an hour, the limit prescribed by law for motoring along the highway, is a snail's pace, and Spradling hits twice that pace with impunity. When he is arrested he rails against the injustice of limiting his progress with stop signs and traffic laws. Anything which attempts to keep Sunday quiet and orderly puts him into a frenzy. Why is Sunday better than any other day, he’d like to know? Any such conventions as chaperons and early hours for retiring, and midvictorian proprieties he consigns to the lower regions. Jones was trying out for the basket ball team* last winter. He had a theory of his own as to how the game should he played, a theory which was quite at variance witli the ideas of the coach. He wanted to play his own game in his own way, and so far as he could see. the other fellows were all wet, which is merely another way of saying that they didn’t know what they were doing. Jones didn’t make the team because he refused to conform. It is true in life that the nonconformist usually is relegated to the side lines. 1^29. Western Newspaper Union '

War department, the sultan was taken 1 on his first airplane ride recently in 1 an army machine and liked it. A few years ago tribesmen in the ! Philippines were overcome with fear when the “giant birds” of the army 1 soared overhead. They could not understand the roaring machines driven by army airmen on cross-country flights across the island and often the planes spread fear and consternation. Then the sultan of Sulu visited Manila. He was invited for a short flight. Reform School Lads Needn’t Learn to Sew Sacramento, Calif. —Sewing was ordered removed from the list of subjects taught incorrigible youths at the Preston reform school at lone by E. E.

apo woods, accompanied by Paul Snyder, a friend and snake enthusiast. They were on Little Tor mountain, pursuing separate trails 100 yards apart, when Snyder saw a rattler between four and five feet long gliding over a rock ledge near his feet. As the snake squirmed into a crevasse Snyder ducked to catch its tail so that he might swing it out with a quick jerk into the often and pin it wit li a forked stick he was carrying. As he stooped, another snake, apparently the mate of the first reptile, lunged from a hiding place in the grass. It sank its fangs into the hand. Snyder shrank back calling to his friend, and the reptiles took to cover. With his companion at his side. Snyder sucked the two wounds, sought to squeeze out the poison and used a handkerchief as a tourniquet about his arm to shut off the circulation. Hospital and serum treatment followed, but to no avail.
