Tin: KHKriiKiti) psalm.
Nov. IB, '08- (Psnlm 23.)
If Hti aud!rnro of a thousand peo
ple was asked to mention tho most
beautiful oortlon of tho entire Illblo,
the vast majority would nam tho
illrd I'Hftlm. . Probably this psntni
a n, tho Lord's Prayer are known by
henrt to more people thnn any other
section of the Hrrlptures. This shop,
herd psalm has a grip on tho henrt
ef the race. It Is equally appro
priate at the rradle and the prave;
K falls In lisping arrents from the
Hps of childhood. It trembles trium
phantly on the lips of old bro. There
t no tank or condition In life to
wliirh It does not appeal. AH will
skipo that If language was ever H
spired, the 23rd psalm Is Inspired.
t:rltlrlsm devout, and criticism de
moniac never assaulted this great
prat in. It Is pre-eminent among the
poetic gums of all ages.
Notice the position of tho psalm.
It follows the 22nd and It precedes
the 24th and If you will tnke the
trotiblo to look It up, you will tlnd
that It bears a relation to both. For
tjie 22nd psalm Is the psalm of tho
cros-s, and tho 24th psalm Is the
psalm of the throne; the one speaks
ef crucifixion and the other of coro
nation. It Is appropriate therefore,
that tho 23rd psnlm should picture
a holy life, following soul crucifixion
ml antedating glory.
Doet Not Mean Death.
Io not make the mistake of thlnk
ItiR that the valley of the shadow
of death refers to the exit out of
life. For you observe that on the
other side of that experience, nil lea
mi- spread In the presence of cue-
inles, the noaci is nnnomwvi wiui o.i.
the cup runneth over, ntu! tni l.ies
and mercy follow "all tin; '.ayn of
my life."
Many a soul passes through the
ralley and shadow of death a irood
many years before he dies. If ou
have never hud an experience com
p: red with which death would be
welcome, you have something before
j-f.-i that will test every faculty of
yn:r mind, every rower of your soul.
John Itunyan was a good Interpreter
of the 23rd psalm. In his Pilgrim's
Progress he makes Christian walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death, very soon after he starts upon
Ms pilgrimage. It was a terrific ex
perience, but he came out of the
darkness to live among men for
many years, "the valley of the sha
dow of death" far behind. When
Christian went out of earthly life
thero was no gloom nor shadow, but
a shining pathway and choirs of wel
coming angels. No. David does not
refer to the change which men call
death in this psalm. He culls It the
"shadow" of death and a shadow
never harmed anyone. The shadow
of a serpent nver bit anyone. Tho
shadow death may be dark and por
tentlous. ghosts and hobgoblins to
the terrified fancy may crowd the
floom, but they are shadows that
dissolve like the baseless fabric of
a dream in the morning.
True View of Life.
It seems a little singular that right
Into the heart of this wonderful
psulm such a gloomy picture should
be projected. Here we have green
pastures, still waters, paths of right
eousness, prepared tables, annointing
with oil, cups running over, goodness
and mercy all the days of life. And
we have also "tho valley and the
ihadow of death." But Is not that
after all. a true view of life Men
are not altogether like sheep, lyins
down in a fat pasture, getting ready
for slaughter. If you look carefully
rou will find In this psalm, not a
sheep at all, but David, (v. 1 & 2)
"1" "My" "Me." You will find the
ta'kslider (v. 3) "He restoreth
my soul." You will tlnd the traveler,
(v. 4.) "Thy rod and staff." You
'tll find the warrior, (v. 5.) "Mln
memies." You will find the priest,
(v. 6.) "Annolntest my head with
oil " You will find the permanent
resident "dwell in tho house of th's
Lord Torever." In other words, tho
Shepherd leads us. green pastures
are b?neath us, still waters are be
side us, a prepared table is before us,
enemies are around us, goodness and
mercy are following us, the bouse
of the Lord is awaiting us, but to
faeh It somewhere on the Journey
e shall have to pass through the
al!ey of the shadow of death.
Where there is so much brightness
tiiere must of necessity be deep shad
ows. llest Things Come Afterward.
Andiest anyone should shrink and
hesitate about that experience, ob
serve that the bust things in life
come afterwards. On this side of
Hie valley are green pastures and
'ill waters, experiences of comfort
nd undisturbed, untried repose; on
he other side are banquets and
'inoiiitlngs and feasting, right in thu
Presence of conquered foeB, cups
funning over, eternal habitations oc
