SONGS OF The AGES
The international Sunday School Lesson For Oc-
tober Is Psalms of Deliverance"
Psalms IS, 126.
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

If one should judge the public
taste and intelligence by the 'popu-
lar songs" of the day, he would have
warrant for turning pessimist. What
: people really think of these current
1ingles is shown by the short dura-
tion of their vogue; a few weeks, or
months at the most, is the longest
that the public will endure them, and
then others, equally bad, take their
place,
Not so with the old songs. The
great poems of our tongues find in
creaSing favor as the years pass.
The old songs grow dearer against
the ugly background of these new
productions. The poems that touch
the depths of nature abide.
And 1t is a striking fact, of more
than strictly religious interest, that
the most popular songs in all human
speech are an inheritance from the
ancient Hebrews, the newest of the
songs being older than the Christian
era. A simple, pastoral people, eN-
pressing at once the primitive and
the sublimest human emotions, have
given the world its loftiest literature.
The Permanent Passions
A rather ludicrous group of social
faddists believe that they can make
over human nature by hanging
choice pictures on the walls of ig
norance, providing fine music for un-
discriminating ears, and talking
vague idealism. to men and women
Nengrossed in the hard realities of
life. Little they reck of persisting
human nature. They think to evolve
an ideal civilization in q generation
or two; but they conveniently ig-
more the long milleniums in which
human nature has remained essen
TALLY the same.
The power of the appeal of the
Psalms resides in their fidelity to the
fundamental, abiding passions of
life. They are true to universal sem
timents. The poets of to-day try in
vain to awaken an answering echo
from the popular heart; these old
Hebrews are still expressing to a
nicely the experience of all sorts and
conditions of men. The tremendous
truthfulness of the Psalms to life,
and to the deepest needs of mankind,
is the real reason for their deathless
vogue.
The Hosts That Have Been Helped
Contemplate for a moment the
procession of thirsty hearts that have
been refreshed at the fountain of
Hebrew psalmody. The picture
thrills. There are the captive eXiles
in chains leaving the. Land of Ca
naan; some of the same, and their
children, returned to the land of
Abraham, marching to the music of
the Psalms. These were the songs
of ascent to Jerusalem upon the oc-
casion of the yearly feasts. The
hunted Christians of the apostolic
age voiced their inextinguishable
faith by the same. old melodies. The
Crusaders, the PuritanS, and count
