THE BOOK OF PSALMS.


Best Known Because It Appeals to
Common Religious Feeling.
The book of Psalms is perhaps the
best known book in the world. No
other portion of the Bible speaks to us,
as it were, with a more familiar voice,
says the London Spectator. 1t has an
intimate and almost hOmeIy charm
which cOmmends it at once to the af-
fectiOns. Critics and theOlogians have
discussed in endless volumes its origin.
its Interpretation or its authority, but
neither comment nor controversy much
affects the countless multitudes who
love the Psalter. Men do not come to
it with curious intellects but with
yearning hearts. What they seek in it
is not learning or instruction, but COM
fort, consolation and some confidence
of hope. 1t is to the sorrowful, the af-
fiicted and the desparing that these
sublime yet simple hymns make their
constant and irresistible appeal. And
they do so; they go home so to the
heart because they come so directly
from the heart. They have that in
spiration which is not less divine be-
cause it seems for the most part hui
man, because it seems not so much
message communicated from without
as an outfowing from the deepest
springs of being or a revelation Of
thoughts written on the heart itself
by the very Ginger of God"
Their words, in fact, touch us so
nearly exactly because they are so nat
ural. The writers are subject to hui
man weaknesses. They often exhibit
the fierce passions of their age or
form narrow conceptions of Jehovah
or seem to look only for temporal
promises, and yet their very failings
only bind them to us with a closer
bond and place in clearer relief the
wonder of their strength, the perpetual
marvel of their faith. For the stead
fastness and sureness of their faith is
indeed a true marvel They walk in
but have no doubt, and amid
dangers, but are without fear. They
shall put their trust in the Lord, shall
be even as the Mount Zion, which may
not be removed, but standeth fast for
ever" Such is the continual burden of
the psalmists.
That Jehovah is merciful, loving and
righteous and that as their fathers
put their trust in him and were not
COMPOUNDED" even so also it shall be
with themselves Is the firm foundation
Of their simple creed as it must every |
where and always be the foundation
of all creeds, however complex; and it
Is just, we believe, because of this sin
gleness, this simplicity of thought that
the influence of the Psalms is so uni |
versal. They make their common APP
peal to all minds because they dwell
almost wholly on those basic ideas
which underlie not one particular be-
ief only, but all religious beliefs that
nave risen above the stage Of super
,tition.

The late Baroness Burdett- Coutts,
who, despite her physical ills, was one

she would not permit any one of the

The sprouting of a beard was tanta-
mount to dismissal. Every "clark'' had
to be clean shaver, and even the po-
liceman on duty had to have a smooth
face. 1t was quite a hardship for
some of the old fellows past eighty.

Curious Minirr Scher-a =.

A curious and Characteristic feature
Of mining I'm the Orsk gold field, ST.
IBERIA, is the way the ground is pros
pected and opened up by peasant "trib-
utors.' Permission is readily granted
to sink shafts wherever they like, sub
ject TO the conditions that they can go
down only as far as water level, usual
ly about sixty feet. and that all the
quartz extracted must be treated at
the mill of the ground landlord and all
gold extracted sold to him at a rate
previously decided upon, leaving fair
profit for the peasant and an extra
good one for the landlord. There is no
philanthropy about the transaction,
and the peasant is in no way bound to
accept the terms. No charge whatever
is made for the use of the mill. The
field is thus practically developed for
nothing; rich reefs which would prob
ably remain undiscovered are opened
up by ''tributors," who frequently
make fortunes out of rich strikes. The
mine owner is thus continually in
touch with all that is going on and
duly records the results Of the opera
tons for his own benefit.
