s'The Lord is my shepherd.

'"The Lord Is my shepherd"
Some one has said, 'There Is nc
pleasure comparable to standing on the
vantage ground of truth" This is the
first gain Of the Christian. In doing
Gods will he finds Christ's words full
filed; he knows the truth and the truth
makes him free. He does not possess all
knowledge. He may make many mis-
takes, but he sees into the real nature
Of things and knows God as his father.
He is no longer in fear of Judgment,
and, though realizing himself as sin
ner, he has peace and pardon by faith
in Jesus Christ. He is true in heart to
God and man. He Is free from malice,
envy and pride and full of love. Happi-
ness consists far less in what one gets
or has than in what he is. When per-
SON is filed with the love Of God. he
abides in restfulness Of soul, even when
business goes disastrously and disease
seizes the body.
It Is a source Of deepest satisfaction
to realize that God really cares for me.
My interests, my good and my actions
are all subjects Of concern to God.
When we really get hold Of this idea,
it is apt to get hold Of us in return and
change our actions. We come to new
ideas and new deeds. God leads Unjust

There is great pleasure in mastering
success In the world and among men.
In business enterprises, In literature,
art, science; In making new discov-
cry, a great corporation, in amassing
wealth, In attaining social leadership,
in the thousand and one avenues Of
worldly honor and prosperity there is
great enjoyment. But there Is no soul
satisfaction in arms, In politics, In
business to be compared to the simple
knowledge Of God as the personal
Friend, Protector and Shepherd.
In childlike humility and simplicity
the greatest Of men have found rest and
peace under the wings Of the Almighty.
Personal heart trust is the Christians

It speaks of Gods care Of the soul IN
| der the figures Of the Shepherd, who
leads His sheep "into the green pastures
and beside still waters" and that Of
the bountiful Host, who annoints the
head of His guest with oil and who
causes his cup to run over. And there
is included also the sweet peace, pro-
found serenity and trustful happiness
Of the one whom God thus cares and
provides. And where in all the world
can be found a peace and happiness
equal to this peace and happiness OF the
soul, which may be called the Chris
tian's joy or pleasuref
/. God is the source Of the Chris
tian's pleasure. He. as a shepherd,
leads as into green pastures and beside
still waters. He, as host, anoints
our heads with oil and deals so bounti-
fully with MS that our cups run over.
The joy Of the Lord is our strength.
The Christians pleasure is therefore
spiritual rather than sensual. It comes
from union with God, from blessings
derived from God, from service for
God, from fellowship and communion
with the people Of God.
3. The wording cannot understand
the Christians pleasure. It is spiritual
and can only be discerned by the spir-
itual. It is as unintelligible to the in
experienced as the conversation Of those
who speak In a foreign, unknown
tongue. They understand and enjoy 1t.
To us 1t is unintelligble and uninterest-
ing. Many people of the world doubt
the happiness of Christians, because
they cannot understand 1t, yet the joy
of one who is saved Is more profound,
more satisfying and more rapturous
than any worldly joy. "Eye hath not
seen, ear hath not heard, neither hath
it entered into the heart of man, what
God hath In store for those who love
Him." The eye, the ear, the heart, can
not discern the Christians pleasures.
8. The Christian g pleasures are eter-
nal "I shall dwell in the house Of the
Lord forever" To be with God forever
is to enjoy God forever. Worldly pleas
ures soon vanish. Spiritual pleasures
last forever. Which are we striving for Z
"Did not God place Us in this world
to enjoy ourselvesr' said a worldly
young man to lady who was pressing
Christ upon him. eyes" she replied,

Happy indeed one who could make such
a reply. Many professed Christians even
find their pleasures not in their religion,
but in spite Of their religion. What
