FORMER PASTOR
GIVES SERMON ON
SHEPHERD PSALM

DR. Arthur s. Phelps. d. D., for
mer pastor of the First Baptist church
of this city and now a professor in
Berkeley Divinity College. delivered a
lecture on The Shepherd Psalm" last
evening before large and apprcciative
audience. He said in part
This psalm of psalms is the most
popular chapter in the Bible. About
1900 volumes have been WRITTEN about
it. 1t was composed in a time of per-
secution: it has been called the Psalm
of the 'Crook.' between the Psalm of
the Cross (the 22nd) and the Psalm of
the Crown Ohe 24th). They represent
the three New Testament names for
Christ: rs. 30 being the Good Shep
herd Ps. % the Great Shepherd and
Ps. "a the Chief Shepherd This
psalm was written in stanZaS in three
metres, in the Hebrew. Someone has
shown that the first verse is the theme
of the whole psalm, 1T shall not want
and then the author goes on to name
as things he will not lack, rest, leader
ship, revival. guidance, courage. COM
panionShip, comfort, provision. annoint-
ing. abundance, escort. home. Most
commentors divide the psalm into two
sections, with the Lord as Shepherd
and then rs Host; but careful eXami-
nation will reveal that the Shepherd
idea is carried throughout.
1--WE dire told of a thrce-fold COM
panionship-He Leadcth Me- Thou
Art with Me- and Goodness and Mercy
Shall Follow Me- There arc three
great shepherd chapters in the Bible:
Eek. "a, Ps. 90. and John 10. I have
counted 20 different kinds of sheep in
John 10. There are rs shepherds in
the Bible.
"A writer has said Of this psalm,
Its power lies in it's dwelling so little
on man and so much on Cod But he
is mistaken. Take a count. and you
will see that the two virtually balance.
The beauty of the psalm is the init
mate relationship between God and the
human heart. What used to be duel
has become a duet. The Bible tells us
that the heavens are the work of Gods
fingers, but that he carries the lambs
in His arms
"A whole galaxy of hymns have been
written about the Lord as our Shep-
herd, of which the most famous are
Saviour Like a Shepherd Lead Us and
The Ninety and Nine"

Toxic. June 25-(A. P)-The
growing popularity in Japan of for
cign shoes and clothing has opened
up now market for American goods
and machinery. American represta-
tiVes here are doing an increasing
business. Some years ago Japanese
society. following the lead of the EN-
press and ladies of the court, adopt

though the court continues its use on
state occasions, the women of Japan
have returned largely to their pic

becoming.
On the other hand. they are dress
ing their boys and girls in foreign
dress as it is easier to keep clean and
gives the children greater freedom
of action in their sports. Several of
the big shoe factories, including
those at the army and navy arsenals,
are installing shoe machinery te take
the place of hand labor Some of
them had this machinery before, but
it had fallen into disuse and is be-
ing reinstalled.
There also is a big demand for
spinning machinery, but the manu-
features arc holding off for the pre-
sent as they consider that too long
credits are being asked.

United States If conditions confront

are not changed soon, in the opinion
Of Magnus Johnson, recently elected
senator from Minnesota on the
farmer-labor ticket.
MANY think the same thing that
happened in Russia cannot happen in
this country" the senator elect said
today in a statement to the Associat-
ed Press, but don't fool yourself. 1t

what was going on"
THE Car haa big army but he
couldn't stop revolution. We have
MT hardly any army at all. SO what
could our government do if there was
nationwide revolution. 1t could
mt do thing"
Many things need changing. the
new senator said. when asked if he
had a definite plan for altering con-
ditions. but right now he has nothing
worked out. 1t will all have to be
worked out by Congress, he said.
The farmer is in dire need, he con-
tinued, and emergency legislation"
is needed to remedy the situation.
THE farmer should have cost of pro-
duction, plus a reasonable profit, def
nitcly guaranteed by the government"
Mr. Johnson holds. because the farm
crs' products have lost their buying
power and when the farmer cans buy,
the country will soon feel it.
ITO accomplish the desired result it
will be necessary for Congress to pro-
coed carefully, but right now Temporal
ry or emergency legislation is needed
to take care CT the situation for this
year." he added.
Mr. johnson is "for the bonus for
former soldiers" payable out of taxa
tion on excess profits; he wishes to
Change the Federal Reserve system.
and curb the power of the United

A CAKE-EATER;
WHAT HE is AND
WHAT HE DOES

Being of a curious disposition, the
Kennebec Journal reporter asked a
leading local man just what consti-
tutes a cake eater, just what male Of
the species might be termed a cake
eater, and how one should recognize
such Twentieth Century phenom-
ena should one be met on the street
or in society
"a cake eater" he replied. "is a
slick haired young man who is al
ways handy about tea time for his
cakes. He never spends any money,
but likes to dance with the ladies.
He Is not old enough to be a lounge
lizard but a little bit older than Il
kd--just the age when young men
think that they are fashion plates
and are devils with the women. He
wears his hat over his eyes and does
the Valentino strut.
The term cake eater, it is said, was
born with the war at the time eligl-
BILE young men were in the army.
These youngsters substituted at the
teas and dances for the older men
who were in khaki, and they were
particularly fond of the little cakes
always served at tea: hence the
term"
No further explanation was nee
essary. The curiosity of the Kenne-
bee Journal reporter was appeased.

PROFESSOR ujRDAk PROFUSELY
COMPLIMENTS UNITED STATES
IN talk ON SYRIAN CONDITIONS

wish to correct several incorrect I'm
preSSlons concerning Syria. America
has been sending her men and her
money to aid the Syrians and they
are very greatful for this aid. The
American College at Beirouth has
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary
of its Inauguration. We aim to pay
back that debt to America. I had
a great idea of the philanthropy and
the kind heartedness of the Ameri-
can people but I find that I did not
really appreciate the thoughtfulness
and the generosity of the people on
this side of the ocean.
He sketched the boundaries OF his
native land and clearly pointed out
it's position on the eastern shores
of the Mediterranean. He told of
the two great mountain ranges
which skirt the west and east parts
Of the country. He spoke of his
birthplace in the western range.
THE Greeks, Romans, Moham-
medans ovcrran Syria in rapid sue
ccssion and binders the growth of
the country and the progress of its
civilization.
Syria has mineral springs that are
to be exploited in the near future
that are far superior to anything
of the sort in America.
1--WE pay little tax in Syria. are
compelled to undergo no military
service. and have no political rep
resentation. For these reasons, in
the great war, We were handicapped.
I'm closing. let me say that Syria
is very grateful to the American Red
Cross which aided us at the close
of. and during the war. Now the
Near East Relief has superseded the
Red Cross and is carrying on the
work which that organization start
ed. =, Syria is receiving much help
from this country and some day
will attempt to pay back their debt
in full.
America is a wonderful country.
I hope to send my children here.
America is the crucible into which
the people of Europe are thrown,
