from God,
The Book of Psalms Is really a
book OF prayer. David had had
wonderful blessings from God, and
yet his human sense led him astray.

depths and suffering the conse-
quences OF turning to his own way
rather than TO Gods. Tho Psalms
are the result of his regenerated
right knowledge OF God. How they
do most OF them ring with praises
to God on high, and how they help
us on the Journey from wrong to
right, and from darkness % light,

! CHRIST
We read in the Bible that Jesus,
before the ascension said lie would
not leave us comfortless but would
scnd a comforter, who would always
stay with us. Christian Science
teaches that this Comforter Is the
| living Christ or Redccmer that
stands knocking at the door OF each

rtgcneratc. When bad thought
comes to tempt us, IL We are obedi-
ent and always longing that God's
will he done. q good thought comes
ana shows us the error of the other
