AThan!,s~iyinr Psalm,

There are two main thoughts that are
iterated and reiterated in this song of
the centuries. Psalm cxxxvi: 10 give
thanks unto the Lord, for He is good;
for His mercy endureth forever"
Goodness. grace, present providence,
eternal purpose. For He is good''-
Gods everyday kindness. His mercy
endureth'' = Gods everlasting love.
And every verse of the Psalm repeats
this dual tribute. Perhaps you woke
one morning in distant city and heard
ring out on the clear air the peal Of
bells. At first the little bells from the
neighboring steeples, sounding out in
CHEEKY tones their morning praise; here
one, there another and another,
chorus of metallic voices crying: God
is good! God is good,' Then suddenly,
upon these, as it We're, childish treble,
broke forth in mighty volume the
booming note of the great cathedral
bell, and It seemed at each OF its recur-
ring strokes to hush for the moment
the lesser cries OF homage with its
thunderous tribute of sublime adora-
ton: His mercy endureth forever"
So speak the voices of this Psalm from
beginning to end. 80 give thanks I'M
/ to the Lord, for He is good: for His
mercy endureth forever First the
little bells of hourly benefits and be-
stowments, then ever and anon the
great bell of eternal redemption speaks
/ out: ITO Him that made great lights
for His mercy endureth forever; =
| Who giveth food to all fesh-for
His mercy endureth forever. o give
| thanks unto the God of Heaven, for
| His mercy eDdureth forever Voice
after voice saying: Give thanks, -
Give thanks Nature hears and
| obeys. Buds, trees. flowers, each in
| their course. give answer; and shall
man alone, to whom this Psalm comes
| calling, stay speechless? Voices all
about us, q chorus of thanksgiving.
Join we with all 20 give thanks TO
J the Lord of lords, for His mercy en-
dureth forever. "-Chicago Post

an urgent telegram in the midst of the

year, he has missed Thanksgiving
