THE PSALMS OF DAVID


There cannot be found, in all the great
poems Of n,pdern;or ancient times, poetry.
SO replete with grand imagery and vivid
illustrations, as the Psalms of David
His theme is always the loftiest that mind
can choose. His pencil-which is the pen
of ipsrirationr-alwsy Egroups areund
the Lord of Hosts all the images and les
ser figures. He presents us with view
of God in His love, in His anger, in His
compassion, ~ and His vengeance, Those
Psalms are the sweetest assistants TO de.
vout meditation, as they present God in
His most endearing traits. Does our
heart feel saddened by the strife and con-
tention of earth TURN we to the Psalms
of David, and there find words in which
we can suitably pour. out our WEAKNESS of
earth to One whose ear is opened to the
cry of the destitute heart. Does our soul
yearn for higher perfection-for ~truer
walk with God FIN those Psalms of Da-
vld we find an eloquent utterance for
these aspirations. Does the view of mer-
cies multiplied fill the heart with devout
rapture !--in those Psalms are words ex-
pressing all you feel, but know not how
to express, In short, the Psalms of Da-
vid are utterances of the human heart in
all Its varied emotions-graphic delinea-
tions of the pious meditations Of man,
suited to every age, every station, every
occasion. The simplicity with which
grand thoughts are presented to our view,
would astonish, did we not remember that
David was one of those "boly men" of
of old, who spake as the Holy Ghost
moved them. 's. "t..F 'r".a'"
The character of the writer of these
Psalms deserves our notice. He was a
king-a mighty man Of valor-a states
man; and yet amid the multiplied avo-
cations of his many offices, he found time
to indite poems which have never been
equalled, which, at the distance of so
many centuries, still address themselves
to our heart, as utterances of that inner
life, which SO few are able to give voice,
and which none have ever reached that
excellence of the Psalms of David. Wher-
ever Christian breathes, wherever the
human heart yearns and strives for the
"good 1T comprehends not" there will be
a lover of the psalms Of David. Those
Psalms will be interviewer with all the
sacred eras Of their liyes-with the bap-
tism, the confirmation, the Holy Commu-
Mon, the bed of death, the funeral pro-
cesslon: n nix II (P{ fT&
Many persons cannot understand why
the version of the Psalms of David in
the Book of Common Prayer is different
from that contained in the Bible. The
answer lis very satisfactory. Tho version
contained in the Book of Common PRAYER
is much older, and was translated and
used as devotional book long before the
Bible was translated into English. I have
taken the trouble to compare the two YER
sions Of the Psalms, and I give my prefer
ence decidedly to the one contained in
the Book of Common PRAYER. "'a9T M.

Wednesday Dec. l6 1868.
A resolution was adopted instructing the
Committee on Military Affairs to inquire into
the alleged inhumanity of the enemy towad the
wounded soldiers on the field.
A resolution was adopted declaring that the
starving of our prisoners deserves the execration
of the House, and the consignment of the offend
ers to the condemnation OF the Almighty.
Numerous other resolutions will be introduce
cd, among them one by Mr.. Rollins of Missouri
declaring that this House is prompted by just
patriotism in favoring the jealous prosecution of
the war, which was Inaugurated by the dis
unionists that it is the duty of the Government
to prosecute the war until obedience to the Con-
stitutIon and the laws are secured, and that the
war shall not be prosecuted for the purpose OF
conquest or subjugation.
Mr.. Lovejoy of Illinois moved to lay the res
olution on the table. Rejected-yeas so, nays
