For thc Scripture lesson Mr.. Moody rcad tho

ny Shepherd, shall not want.n Tho Psa1m
before II, he said, speaks Of the Good Shepherd
Who lars down Ills llio for tho sheep; and the
Psalm after IL spen7ss Of the Chief Shepherd.
In the twoutyssceoud Psalm We have tho God Of
Judgment; in tho twonty-thirl, tho God Of
Peace; md in tho cnty-fourth, tho God Of
Glory. On the third verse, beginning, "uo
restorcth my SOUL" Mr.. Moody said: l love to
think Of God as q Restorer; there are good
many Of you who have straycd away from tho
fold, who want to comc back md be restored
% {our, first love; and this y just what
Of the Joy Of the Lord you will be full Of power,
Just pray to-day that tho Lord will now restore
your soul; pray, as David did, " Restore unto
ressors Thy way, and sInncrs shall bo con
1ertcd unto Thee" David got as far away
from the Lord Is any sinner In Chicago, but tho
Lord restored him.
