60ME MISSIONARY TEACHINGS
OF THE PSALMS
LESSON TEXT—Ps. 4T, 6T, 100.
GULDEN TEXT—"Let the people
praise Thee. O God, let all the people
praise Thee.’’-—Ps. 67:3.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Everybody Prale-
lng God.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Everybody Serving
God.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
IC—All Nations Called to Servo Jehovah.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Missionary Hymne of the Old Testa-
ment
The Jewish people were called to be
missionaries to tbe other nations. The
Psalter, their hymn book, is saturated
with the spirit of God's grace to the
world. Its dominant note Is the call
to come back to God.
1. A Call to Recognize God’e Power
(l’s. 47).
Man's first sin was to cast bfl God.
Such abyssmal darkness followed that
the race has gone on In Ignorance of
Its Creator and Benefactor. The first
and primary need of the missionary
Is to get the heathen to know God.
They must come to know Him not only
as a mighty King, but as a personal,
tender-hearted being, looking out over
the world with compassion, desiring
to save and bless man, His only crea-
ture in His image and likeness. Oh,
that the heathen knew God as their
true and great King whose mighty
power He desires to usa In salvation
and blessing to all! Let us make this
known to the ends of the earth!
II. A Call for the Nations to Return
i to God (Ps. 67).
The central theme of this psalm is
the universal diffusion of God's grace.
The order of thought In this psalm Is
that which shall be carried out by the
Lord In the completion of His work of
grace In the world.
i 1. God's Blessing Upon Israel (w.
1, 2). This blessing Is necessary In
order that Israel may be fitted to make
known God’s way to the nations. This
grace will be poured out upon Israel
In the full coming of Pentecost. When
this grace Is poured out there will be
such missionary activity as has hith-
erto been unknown. When Israel, like
her national representative Paul, shall
go forth In such power of the Holy
Spirit In witnessing for Christ, truly
nations shall be born in a day. That
which shall be manifested by Israel
for their God-appointed task is needed
by the church In her witnessing. She
needs the Spirit of God to fit her to
preach the gospel to the heathen.
2. The Conversion of the Heathen
(w. 3-5). Thanksgiving will he given
for salvation offered and accepted.
Not only this, but there will be re-
joicing In the experience of salvation.
They will rejoice in the fact now that
the great and righteous God rules the
earth. The new-born soul rejoices In
knowing that a dispensation of jus-
tice tempered with mercy has been
ushered in. What gladness will be In
the hearts of men in the day when
Christ reigns!
S. Restoration of Blessings Upon the
Earth (vv. 6.7). When man cast off
God a curse was placed upon the earth
which limited Its fruitfulness. Imme-
diately upon man s return to God this
curse will pass away from the earth.
The supreme ohstaele to prosperity Is
mun’s rebellion against God. Let the
nations return to God and He will
send His blessing upon them. The
only way to bring back pence and
prosperity Is by the preaching of the
gospel. Man must be called hack to
God. The supreme need of the world
Is not a league of nations, but a re-
turn to God; because God will remain
separate from the nations as long as
they are In rebellion ngainst Him.
III. A Call to Recognize the Good-
ness of God (I's. 100).
I'raise should go up to God because
He is God. Being God He created us,
sustains us and saves us. For His
unchanging mercy and goodness praise
should be continually ascribed to Him

members of your family always are."

What Life Consists Of.
“A man's life consistent not In the
abundance of things which lie pos-
sesseth." In these words Jesus strikes
at the popular error of all ages—the
belief that life consists In things' For
nothing are we under deeper obliga-
tion to Christianity than for this, that
it corrects our easy views of life.
Since the first mnn started hetfven-
ward, there have been two conflict-
ing Ideals of life; one teaches that
life's values are In the things we >jet
and keep; the other holds that the
chief end of man Is to develop his
highest powers, to live In fear of that
which Is beneath him, and In reverence
for That which Is above him.—Kev. O.
C. Albertson. D. D.
Neglected Children.
It Is often difficult to tell which are
mare neglected—the children of the
very rich or the children of the very
poor.—Kenneth D. Miller
Love for the Home.
The first Indication of domestic hap-
piness is the love of one's home.—

ways of the members of my family
are the ways of vultures, still we are
very much nearer relatives to the
eagles than most cun boast of, and
that Is the truth."
“I feed on lambs,” suld the Lam-
mergeyer or Bearded Vulture, “and
my home was in Asia before I was
brought to the zoo."
“I guess the lambs weren’t sorry to
see you go,” said King Vulture.
“Probably not,” said the Bearded
Vulture. “I didn't expect them to give
me a party before I left.
“I said to myself upon leaving:
“ ‘I am sure the lambs will not
shed any tears because I am leaving.
And so my going will not make them
unhappy.
“ ‘Neither will they have to go to
any expense on my account. They
will not have to give me a farewell
dinner and a present as a token of
their esteem.
“ ‘They will not have to take up a
collection among all the lambs so as
to get enough to give me a handsome
present.
“ ‘They will not have to do any of
these things. By my rough ways with
them they are being saved expense
and trouble.’
“Yes, I suld all this to myself."
“You had quite a talk with your-
self, didn’t you?" asked King Vulture.
"Quite,” said Bearded Vulture.
“And I enjoyed it, too.”
“It’s just ns well to enjoy your
own conversation when you hnve to
hear yourself talk," said Yellow-Head-
ed Vulture.
“Well,” suld King Vulture, “I was
asked not long ago what I did when
I got angry and fought.
"And I’ve had so many pressing en-
gagements that 1 haven’t answered
that question before."
“What pressing engagements did
you have?” the Bearded Vulture in-
quired.
"You might ask," said King Vul-
ture. “In fact, you have already
asked. But I cannot tell you what
they were because I didn’t have uny
engagements at all.
“I said that because, you know, peo-

“For herein Fortune shows herself
more kind
Than Is her custom: It Is still her use
To let the wretched man outlive his
wealth,
To view with hollow eye and wrinkled
brow
An age of poverty."
—Merchant of Venice.
There are two periods in the life of
the average man when his wealth Is
low and when poverty comes very
close: When he has a houseful of
g0 ! small children dependent upon him,
and when he Is becoming too old to
hold his place in the Industrial world.
The young man starts out in life
with a great reserve of youth and
health. Unless he enters one of the
professions, he begins to make the
maximum wuge within a few years of
the time he begins working. As a gen-
eral rule, he is wealthier at this period
than at any other time during his life.
As soon as he marries und begins to
bring up a family of children, Ills ex-
penses begin to run even with his In-
come, or, perhaps, a hit beyond. This
Is a period when poverty threatens,
but It Is a temporary threat. As soon
as the oldest child becomes old enough
to earn money or to aid In the father’s
work, conditions begin to ease up for
the father. Then follows a second
period of comparative financial ease,
as the children begin to contribute
more and more to the family support.
As the younger children begin to con-
tribute to the family Income, however,
the older children begin to set up
households for themselves. As the
children leave home and the father ap-
proaches the age where he is In dan-
ger of losing his work, because he is
too old for Ills place, poverty again ap-
proaches.
If the couple have been very skill-
ful managers or have been fortunate,
save up
enough before the children left home
to care for them In their old age; but
the average man is left to view “an
age of poverty" and dependence. Old
age pensions have done a tremendous
lot during the last quarter century
toward solving the problem of old-age
poverty; hut they benefit only certain
classes of employees. The greatest
weakness In our present system is that
It does not provide work for all those
who wish to work.
Conditions are no worse In this re-
spect now than they have always
been, old age and poverty have al-
ways been practically synonymous
tqrms. Long ago Osslan sang, “Happy
are they who die In youth when their
renown Is heard 1 The feeble will not
behold them In the hall; or smile at
their trembling hands. Their memory
shall be honored in song; the young
tear of the virgin will fall. But the
aged wither away, by degrees; the
fame of their youth, while yet they
live, Is all forgot."

"... death, a necessary end.”
—Julius Caesar.
Suppose science could today check
all death, then all growth, too, would
cease; for all growth Is at the expense
of life. As Holland expressed it:
Life evermore Is fed by death,
In earth and sea and sky;
And that a rose may breattie its breath,
Somethin? must die.
Or suppose death were abolished for
man alone. In a century or two there
would not he space on the earth's sur-
face to accommodate all that lived.
Renan, In welcoming Uasteur to the
French academy, said: "Death, ac-
cording to a thought admired by M.
Llttre, Is hut a function, the last and
quietest of all." Then he added, of his
own belief: “To me It seems odious,
hateful. Insane, when It lays Its cold
blind hand on virtue or genius."
Singularly enough, this last sentence
Implies what has seemed to various
men to he one of the chief reasons
why death Is “a necessary end” of our
existence here. If death were not to
strike down genius, It might soon be-
come impossible to limit the human
race to this sphere. We have an In-
ventor, for example, who has mas-
tered the laws of gravitation, and en-
abled men to fly; we have another in-
| venter who has enabled men to com-
municate with each other over long
distances without wires; and we have
a scientist who seems to be at the
threshold of a knowledge of the origin
of life. The minds of ail these men
are tilled with knowledge that they
cannot communicate to anyone else,
cannot communicate to anyone else.
Suppose these men were not to die—
what might they not revenl to us!
What might they not accomplish for
usl Similar reflections led Willis to
write, decades ago;
. wore not man to die,
He were too mighty for the narrow
sphere.
Had he out time to brood on knowl-
edge here,
Could he but train his eye,
Might he but wait the mystic ward
and hour,
Only his Maker would transcend his
powsr.
Earth has no mineral strange
The Illimitable air no hidden wings.
Water no quality In covert springs.
And tire no power to change,
Seasons no mystery, and stars no
spell,
Which the unwastlng soul might not
compol.

Poison Ivy.
Although poison Ivy is one of the
worst offenders it frequently Is blamed
for poisoning caused by other plnnts.
The Department of Agriculture has a
list of more than 100 of such plants
that grow in this country, and It is
probable that there are others that
may be poisonous to some persons. Not
all of these plants are equally poison-
