Psalmnis of Deliveraecec
PSALMS 85 AND 326.
BY 3. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
THE INTRODUCTION. The rsalms
express the sentiments of the human
heart under the various conditions and
experiences of life. Here Joy, sorrow,
hope, fear, faith, love, grntltude nnd
reverence are uttered In language that
may be adopted with propilety by men
In all lands and centuries. Jews, Mo
hammedans and Christians find her'o
what they need and ttensuro It above
rubles. Thptvvo Psalms forming our
lesson todav treat the general subject
of Deliverance, and exhibit ti-
thought and feelings of those who real
Izo thnt God has brought them out
of trouble. It will be noticed that in
both Psalms the deliverance Is general
or national, referring to tho returni
from captivity, but that a personal or
spliitual deliverance Is nlso mentioned
or sought. We might be disposed to
separate these distinct states, but
among the Jews there was great pro
priety In joining them together. In
Jewish thought, sin and slavery, right
eousness and prosperty were ahvny
assocated. Piety was patriotism.
Wickedness was rebellion.
THE RETURN (Vs. 1, 2. 3). Tin
progress of thought in the first three
verses is both Intel estlng and Instruc
tive. The captive Jews had been re
turned to their own country. But how?
The Lord had brought them back
(Psalm xlv, 7). No human Instrumen

a people whom He had scattered
among the heathen? Because He was
favorable to the land. Canaan was the
nppolntod center of religious lnlluence
from which streams of blessing should
How Into the earth (Psalm 11, 6-8).
This sovereign purpose had caused the
Almighty to forgive His people, to
rover up and conceal their sin, that
He might use them and their children
(Jer. xxx, 18-20). It wati not because
of any merit on their part, for their
unworthlnss had been constantly re
membered nnd deplored (Neh, 1. 7).
The passage is a glad acknowledgment
of the Lord's undeserved ktndii'-ss.
THE PRAYER (Vs. 4. 5, 6, 7).-From
this contemplation of God's former
favors there was a natural nnd easy
transition to a praytj for further
blessings. TTie Psalmist evidently felt
that the Jews, although permitted to
return to Jerusalem, were pot yet fully
reconciled to God. There were remnant
of sin in them, and much of their prac
tice was contrary to the Divine law,
nil of which must be offensive to a
holy being (Hab. 1, 13). It was Import
ant, therefore, to seek furthr deliver
ance, lost the nation be visited with
other calamities as In years gone by.
Notce the petitions. "Turn us, O God,
of our salvation." ns If they were help
less: "revive us again," recognizing
that spiritual life ir from alrave (John
111, S); "show us thy mercy" and
grant us thy salvation." All this
pleading Is on the higher planes of
worship. It is an earnest desire for a
religious state which shall render the
new political condition permanent and
most satisfactory.
THE FAITH (Vs. T, 9, 10). All
prayer, certainly nil successful prayer.
Is the product of believing desire (H'.
xl, 6). No one will ask of another
good which he thinks will not be grant
ed. However, greatly burdened by

Chapel Mission Meets at Hulbert's
hall, 117 Wyoming avenue. Sunday
preaching, 10.30 a. m,; evening sub
trouble or dlt tressed by sin, the pray-!
ing mnn has hope of relief. Hence,
having made known his wants, tho
Psalmist assumes en attitude of expec
tancy. He listens that he may h?ur
the Lord's unswer, assured that Ho
will speak peace (Hab. II. 1), that He
will Interpose HI;) inorcy and power as
to prevent His peonle from turning
again unto folly (2 Pet. II. 20). With
much confidence our author expresses
In beautiful language his rellnnco mxm
God. The words ought to be com
mitted to memory to austaln every
soul In u time when blessings nre to be
sou lit. il'erhaps there Is no place In
Scripture where the mercy of the Lord
Ih more appropriately described, caus
ing the heart to rejoice as the mind
meditates upon It.
THE OUTCOME (Verses 11. 12, 13.)
The Psalmist passes quickly onward
from these expressions of faith nnd
hope to describe the condition of the
nation after the blessing has been ob
tained for which prayer was made.
Truth would bo like the crass, the
shrubs and the trees that spring up nil
over the earth, and righteousness like
the rain would descend from heaven.
This first declaration Is paraphrased
by the second, that the Iord shall
give what Is good and the land shall
yield her Increase. Tho thought Is that
prosperity comes from above, (James
-7 , llllt n.wl la .lll,, ,n ,.
. h L1'"
It upon a righteous people. This point
Is enlarged and emphasized. Right
eousness must go before, thnt is pre
cede, the Lord's doing, ns a courier
files In advance of the king, calling Un
people to prepare tho way. (John
111:3.) Righteousness on the part of the
people sets them, in the wny of the
footsteps of the coming Lord and so
secures for them all tho good which
Ho comes to bestow. The new spirit
ual life of the Jews was the promise
of untold good.
THE GLADNESS (verses 1. 2. 3).
Psalm 85 began with the consideration
of God's goodness In bringing home
the captives; iPsalm 126 opens with an
account of the spirit in which the
people returned. At first they were
bewildered and surprised, It seemed to
tlism a dream or vision, (Acts xll:9
and not a reality. But as this feeling
passe daway Joy tool: Its place. They
broke forth Into laughter, ns ex
pressions of great gladness were ex
changed among them, and that was
succeeded by a more appropriate and
abiding exercise as they united In sing
ing to the praise of God. (Job ylil:21.)
Nor did they pause with mere rejoicing
among themselves. They went forth
to the heathen, singing as they went,
"The Lord has done great things for
us, whereof we are glad." Here Is the
same recognition of God's goodness as
was given In the first verso of the for
mer Psalm, only it Is published abroad
to those who did not serve God. This
Is one of the most beautiful exhibitions
of gladness, as to its source, the high
est possible (Psalm xxxlli:l); as to Its
effects, directed toward the ungodly.
THE COMPLETION (verse 4.)
Gladness sometimes becomes a kind of
Intoxication, causing people to give
themselves wholly to merry-making
und to forget important matters re
qulrng attention. Joy In the Lord, pro
ject, "Why, What Evil Hath He
Done Us?" Mrs. Bell will render a
line solo. All are cordially Invited to
attend. Rev. J. II. Bell in charge.

ANECDOTES FROM ABROAD.
She Danced for Charity.
At a bruvtlful villa near Paris was late
ly given a charming fete. Pretty women
by scores were present, nnd the loveliest
among tho party wus Madam T , al
ways eminently 'tiio fashion." At tho
commencement of the ball a young gal
lunt, the flower of tho clubs, hastened to
bo the first to ask her to dance.
"With pleasure, sir," replied sho; "20
francs."
"Madam!" replied the puzzled cavalier.
"I said 20 francs, monsieur."
"1 beg your pardon, tnadame," replied
he, smiling, "there Is a misunderstanding.
1 had tho honor to ask your hand for a
waltz."
"Ah. you are right, "replied tho lady,
quickly, "there was a misunderstanding.
I thought you nsked me for h quadrille,
but plnce It Is a waltz It will be 40 francs."
More puzzled than ever, the gentleman
waited an explanation, which she gave
him. with a ginclous smile. "Do you un
derstand, sir. that I am dancing for the
benefit of thu poor? It In one louls for a
quadrille, two for a waltz and no reduc
tion In price."
At this rate Madame T had no lack
of partners, nnd bravely and charitably
danced to tho close of the ball. Who but
a Frenchwoman would have dreamed of
such a source of revenue!
Couldn't Get It.
"Well, Mr. Robinson," said a doctor to
a patient he had not seen the day before,
"how ate you Rettir.s along?"
"Nearly starved to death."
"Why, didn't you have oysters?"
"No, I couldn't get thorn, the way you
said, and I was afraid It would bo dan
gerous to eat them any other vvav."
"Why. that's odd. Couldn't get stewd
oysters? I told you you could eat stewed
oysters with Impunity."
"That's Just it 1 could get ihc stewi d
oyster easy enough, but 1 sent to all the
restaurants In the neighborhood for tho
Impunity, and the Idiots said they never
had each h thing on the bill of fare."
Not Very Spottedl
A oimg lu-wppaper man who .iwplroi to
become a dramatist, look to London mono
llitle time iiko the manu-eiipt of u farce
which he fondly believed would delight
any manager who saw it. When 'the play
wus handed back to him a few days after
it hud been submitted to a well-known
actor-manager he was greatly surprised.
"What's the matter with that play?" de
manded tho playwrlBht "Don't you
think It Is funny In spots?"
"Yeg." remarked the inuiuigtr with n
good-natured smile. "But It Isn't very
spotted.
Lost Her Muzzle.
At KhiEton-on-Thamcs thcro lived a
ceeding from a remembrance of Divine
mercies, enkindles desires for yet fur
ther good. (Psalm cxvi:12-13.) Hence
the prayer In this Psalm. "Turn again
our captivity," asks for the completion
of what had been begum Only part of
the chosen people had been brought
home. Untold thousands were yet in
strange lands, deprived of the blessings
which had been granted to those who
had come to Jerusalem. Let there be
another home-coming. The hearts of
those now returned went forth townrd
their brethren very much ns the hearts
of the saved are filled with the holy
desire for the unsaved. In the South
ern part of Palestine the streams nre
dried up at certain times of the year,
but later they are swelled by the rnlns.
So let he streams of returning people,
which seems now to be diminished, be
filled again by the augmenting num
bers of llinso coming to their native
land. Let the companies of returning
emigrants be full until all are brought
back.
THE HARVEST (verses 5-6.) This
Psalm ends with the sentiment that
closed the former Psalm, only ex
pressed In different figure. Borrowing
from the custom of agricultural life
there is presented the uncertainty and
even the anxiety of the sowing con
trasted with the certainty of the reap
ing. Enterprises that nre begun under
many dlfllcultles and which require
much labor will be crowned with suc
cess. This general truth may be np
plled In many ways to the cares and
perplexities of the student; the labors
of the Christian minister; the efforts
of the Sabbath-school teacher: tho
faithfulness of the Christian parent;
the endeavors of a church for a re
vival of religion: tho zeal and sacrifices
of the missionary. The deeds put forth
are like the bearing of precious seed.
Tears will be exchanged for joy. Tho
rich harvest will wave before the
worker. The sickle will be thrust In.
The golden sheaves will be brought
home and the grain will groan under Its
burden. This Illustration was evidently
designed to cheer the hearts of the
exiles.
THE SUMMARY. The hand of God
should be acknowledged In alt our
mercies, whoever be the Instrument of
them. If unexpected deliverance from
outward captivity be so highly valued,
how ought men to esteem redemption
from the power of sin and Satan; The
trembling sinner, deeply convinced of
guilt, when he Is freed from his burden,
reviews the mlserv which he has es
caped and contemplates the prospect
that opens to him, scarcely able at
first to believe that his experiences are
not Illusions and "his mouth Is filled
with laughter and his tongue with
singing." If his future conduct cor
respond with his happy beginning the
ungodly will be constrained to own
the goodness of God. Still he must
struggle with many temptations, cor
ruptions nnd afflictions, and he must
seek for more complete deliverance.
This seeking will be attened at times
with great sorrow, but, If conducted
with faith, the end will bo Joyous. At
last, redeemed from death, ho shall
stand before the throne accepted, and
there present his perfect praise with
unalloyed rejoicing.
poor man and bis wife, along with their
half-mad ton. The wife was troubled with
asthma, anil woro a respirator during colli
weather. The muzzling order was In
force In Uils town, und the son, who was
out playing foot ball one Saturday, saw
his mother coming down the street with
out her respirator, which sho had forgot
ten to put on. Instantly he run home to
his father. "Father," ho said, "run after
mother and fetch her back for her muz

Misread the Notice.
A pious old lady bad a husband who
was a seaman. He was about to start on
a protracted voyage, and as his wife was
anxious ns to her husband's welfare she
sent tho following notlco to the village
preacher; "Mr. Blank, who is going
to seu, IiIh wife desires tho prayers of
the congregation."
As the oid lady was qultn Illiterate, the
minister read the following to the con
gregation from the slip handed him: "Mr.
Blank, who is going to seo his wife, de
sires tho prayirs of the congregation."
The Joke on Tennyson.
Lord Tennyson told the following story
of hlmseir, describing nn Incident of bis
Journeying In Scotland In 1S!)0. After ho
hud lodged all night In an inn near Ster
ling, vvhero he was not known to tho host,
it gentlemai. i.tkrd the landlord: "Do
you ken who you had wi' you to'other
night?" "No; but ho was u pleasant
shentlemiin." "It was Tennyson, the
poet." "An' wha' may he be?" "Oh, bo
Is a writer of verses, slch as ye see 1' tho
papers." "Noo, to think o that! Just
a poohlle writer, nnd I gled him ma best
bed room!"
His Time to Rise.
An Irishman resident In a small village
In the north of Ireland, In whose house
there wus neither watch nor clock, got
out of his lied one morning, but did not
know the time. Acocrdlngly he went to
the door In his right shirt und looked nut
to see if he could uncertain from the ap
pearance of things around what time It
might be. When standing In this state
a neighbor passed him, hurrying to begin
tho lahoih of the day. Having learned
from him that Ittvas near (!, Paddy ex
clulmed, "Bedad, Ol must go In nnd rise."
Unnecessary Worry.
A Peebles worthy one day recently tool;
