Il Does Not Pay.

And today would especially i'm
press upon the young the fact that
God still protects and cares for those
who obey his laws. Sometimes the
young are so nearsightcd that they
cannot understand this. Life in its
earlier days seems TO be such a strug-
gle for most young people that ut
times they do not think it pays to ba
good. Thus some of them play the
fool, as did David down In King
Achish's court. But, my young friend,
have wide and varied experience
ana | want TO tell You that 1t never
pays to break one of Gods laws. And
l also want YOU to know that some OF
the trials and troubles of life of which
you are now complaining are Yet to be
the keynotcs which are to sound forth
your most glorious and happy songs Of
praise.
But there is one word in reference
to my text to which | want TO draw
your attention. 1t is the last word
"Thy statutes have been my song in
the house OF my pilgrimage Now,
what Is the pilgrimage? oh" you
answer, "a pilgrimage is n journey; it
IS long tramp; it is long, weari-
some, tiresome trip" Is that your
definition of pilgrimage? Then, my
friend, it is wrong definition for you
have only told me half the truth. lis
true, Il pilgrimage is journey. But 1t
Is distinctively Il journey TO shrine.
Now, what was the sacred place to-
ward which the pilgrimage of David
was heading? Why, there is only one
rational answer; 1t Is the sacred place
of heaven, 1t was toward the sacred
place where Christ and all David's
dear ones We're to greet him. 1t was
not pilgrimage which began Mt the
cradle and ended at the grave, but it
was pilgrimage which began ut the
cradle and ended at the great white
throne Of God. oh. WAS it not glori-
Gus destiny toward which the ancient
psalmist was heading? 1t was to en-
ter the presence Of the God whose stat
utes had become songs to him. That Is
the man who will enjoy heaven. Not
the man to whom the laws of God ara
burdensome and painful. but he whose
delight it is to obey and serve God

Old folks were so strict that they
would never do anything they thought
the statutes of the Lord forbade them
TO do But did not those strict laws
of God bring peace to your old home

liberal ideas Of the present time have
ever produced? Yes, ! think we have
n right like David, to sing, "Thy stat
utcs have been my songs in the happy
days of my childhood"
Singing to Keep Step.
But the statutes of the Lord were
more than a sacred memory OF the
scenes of Davd's boyhood. They were
the songs by which the young man
and the middle aged man kept step in
the journey OF life. Just the same as
the German soldiers when on a line of
march Invariably start up one of their
national airs and sing as they tramp
along and all in unison keep step to
the music. so this marvellous man OF
my text kept step to the laws Of God
during his journey of life and sang

impressed with this figure by an cx-

the songs by which he Kept sep after

In the first place, there was that

David ever cease to praise the law Of
God for that tremendous day in his
history when Samuel came into the

His Lullaby Song.

In the first place, the statutes of the
Lord were the psalmists cradle songs.
They were the lullabics with which his
mother used to sing him to sleep. They
were the divine promises with which
God adopted him as his child. The
covenant with which Abraham's chill
dren and chIldren's children became
part of Gods great redemption plan
was the same covenant with which
Christians enter into adoption as Gods
children. And they are the same Iii,
vine promises with which our children
enter into covenant relations with God,
Now, the great practical question
which comes before us today is. How
can child OF Christian parents be
come child of the covenant? In the
old dispensation the rite of clrcumci.

London's Awful Smoke.

Sir William Richmond, a we'll
known member Of the Royal Acad-
envy, finds instances in unexpected
directions to drive home his argu-
ments In his laudable but hitherto un-
successful campaign against the Lon
don smoke nuisance. Lecturing the
other day he told his hearers that the
late springs and early falls In Lon
don were caused entirely by smoke
The pallor of Londoners was also due
to the same cause, for the smoke ex-
cluded the sunlight and where there
was no sunlight there was no color.
He went SO far as TO aseribe certain
physical deficiencies OF the poor to his
pet aversion. Promising that nothing
could grow without light, he declared
that poor girls were often toothless,
while the snnb noses and retreating
ehins so common among the poorly
bred natives of London were largely
due to the absence of light caused by
smoke.
