Topic for the Week Beginning Dec. 81,
Comment by Rev. :. II. DoyIe.

comment by Kew. =. ii. Doyle.
ToPIc.-The close Of the year What God
has done. What He will do Ps. CIV, Ills;
Ps. lxxiii, g, "a.
The close of a year should be an i'm
portant time in our lives. As the mer-
chant invoices his goods, so we should
examine ourselves and our relation to
God by looking backward and forward.
As we look back we see the blessings
Of God, and these past blessings fill our
hearts with the sure and certain hope
that these blessings will be continued
into tho future. We can only Judge
the future by the past. The psalmist
lays these two conditions very plainly
and practically before Is. Following
the order of the topic, let Us notice:
I. What God has done for US FPS. CIV,
12l- The psalmist recalls what God
had done for Israel in one sentence
He hath been mindful of u.s. How
true were these words! In Abraham,
wandering in land not his own, God
bad been mindful of them. In Egypt,
surrounded by slavery and ruled by
tyranny, He was mindful of them. In
the wilderness in conquering Palestine,
in their oxiles, in their wars. in times
Of peace, in times Of forgetfulness and
Vt rebellion against Him and His law,
He had still been mindful of them, as
nation, as a church and as individu-
ais He had provided them with pres
ent blessings and hopes for the future.
He had guided them and protected
them, and we'll might their sweet sing
er exclaim. He hath been mindful of
us. The Same hand that was mind
full Of Israel has been guiding us
through the past year. All that we
have had, all that we have enjoyed, has
come from Him, and to Him we should
give praise for all things.
>. What God will do tPs. CIV, 12).
From what the Lord had done the
psalmist logically infers what He will
do namely, He will bless u.s." God
had blessed His people, and the psalm
ist naturally comes to the conclusion
that God will bless them, and He did.
We have seen that God has been mind
full of u.s. and we conclude that this is
evidence that He will still continue to
be mindful Of us and to bless Us. Our
references teach us: /. That He will
bless US temporarily, or in this life (Ps.
CIV, l2-ls). In these verses the psalm
ist declares that God will bless them
alI-the house of Israel. the house Of
Aaron, them that fear Him, both great
and small, These blessings are tho
blessings of this life. >. That lie will
bless us etcrnally tPs. s.lxxiii, 2i)-"Thou
shalt guide me with Thy counsel and
afterward receive me into glory" Here
We have reference to the blessings
which God Will give to His people be-
yond this life

exacting rs to his presence at each
of these ''il.uc,ions" his stay was
made most uncomfortable.
He discovered that each chair and
other articles Of furniture of the
drawing rooms had specified places.
This was impressed upon him by the
action Of his hostess who invariably
waited for him to leave the room,
when she Immediately rearranged
the furniture and returned his chair
to it, or; Ginal position. l do not SYM

richly deserved his fate, l have
