II is folly 10 look for some authori

not trust the revelation OF t1stice and

not seek ourselves 70 learn the laws
Of life, to be in harmony with this
universe OF law and so to come al
last TO know the face OF that life which
has taught us life ard love through
the work OF his fingers?
We need no dreams OF dwelling be

lives full, and rich, and strong is this
faith that the world is even now beina
made by right and truth, that no other

passes our knowledge is over all and
this love is the law for our lives an(

QUOTATIONS FROM PSALMS.

Scripture Which Doubtless Com
forted Daniel During This Trial)
Who knows but that the in
spiration for Daniels daily de-
votion came from the Fifty.fifth
Psalm as follows:
As for me, will call upon
God; and the Lord shall save
me.
Evening and morning and at
noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.
And again from the Fifth
Psalm:
Give ear to my words, o Lord,
consider my meditation.
Hearken unto tho voice OF my
cry, my King and my God; for
unto thee will pray.
My voice shalt thou hear In
the morning, o Lord; In the
morning will ! direct my prayer
unto thee, and will look up.
For thou art not a God that
hath pleasure In wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with
thee. Tho foolish shall not
stand In thy sight: thou latest
all workers Of Iniquity.
Thou shalt destroy them that
speak leasing: the Lord will abb
hor the bloody and deceitfuI
man.
But as for me, ! will come
into thy house in the multitude
OF thy mercy: and in thy fear
will worship towards thy holy
temple.
Lead me o Lord, In thy right
eousness, because Of mine enc
mics; make thy way straight be-
fore my face.
For there is no faithfuIness
In their mouth; their inward
part is very wickedness, their
throat Is an open sepuIchre;
they fiatter with their tongue.
Destroy thou them, o God; let
them fall by their own counsel;
cast them out in the multitude
OF their transgressions; for they
have rebeIIed against thee.
But let all those that put their
trust in thee rejoice: let them
ever shout for Joy, because thou
defendest them: let them ever
shout for Joy, because thou
defendest them: let them also
that love thy name be Joyful In
thee.
For thou Lord, wilt bless the
righteous; with favor wilt thou
compass him with q shield.
