[ THANK THEE, LORD
BY DAVID T. MASHBURN

| thank Thee, Lord, for this life of mine
And for the life that is to be;
Just to live and to breathe is sweet and line,
But let me live, dear Lord, for Thee.
thank Thee Lord, for the love in life
And the Joy it brings to my heart;
Not to hate, as live in this earthly strife,
But to love- dear Lord, is my part.
| thank, Thee, Lord, for the Joy of living
And the sunshine which follows the showers;
Let me live my life and forever be giving
To others, dear Lord, bouquets of flowers.
I thank Thee, Lord, for the glory of work;
Let me labor with worthy aim;
May do Thy will, and no duty shirk,
With my reward, dear Lord, heavenly fame.
I thank Thee, Lord, for the friends I've made,
For the good they have done my SOUL
Let me give in return some humble aid
That would point to nobler goal.
| thank Thee, Lord, for the beautiful things;
The hill, the dale, and the mountains high;
The babbling brook and the bird that sings,
For beauty, dear Lord, that never shall die.
l thank Thee, Lord, with heart bowed low
For the life You gave and the cross of death,
And may my life run full and forever flow
With praise, dear Lord in every breath
Yea, | thank Thee, Lord, this Thanksgiving Day;
l thank Thee again, again, and again;
And even til eternity again will say:
thank Thee Lord, without end.-Amen

MORE LIGHT ON THE BIBLE

Light is being thrown upon the Scriptures, espe-
ciay as to the source and origin of the Old Tesla
ment, by recent discoveries of archaeologists. An
cient tablets found at Ras Shamra on the coast Of
Syria several years age found to contain
an alphabet of twenty-seven letters, the first in
cuneiform characters ever recovered From recent
deciphering of these inscriptions the exodus from
Egypt is located as about 1440 B. c.
Several of the Inscriptions bear close resemblance
to passages in the Old Testament. The passage
'Ddst thou not smite Levathan, the swift serpent,
even the crooked serpent? Didst thou not break
to pieces his heads?" corresponds almost
word for word with Isaiah 27:1. The term for
Deity eel" with its plural form "Elohim" used
many times in the Old Testament, occurs frequent
ly in these tablets. Jehovah, Hebrew Yahweh, APP
pears as Yah Furthermore the sacrifices familiar
to students of the Old Testament are referred to
and there are some forty points of similarity be-
tween these and the Mosaic Code.
The indications are that these tablets were the
work of Arab worshipers who came from Arabah,
steppe lands in South Palestine. What connection
was there between them and Moses and tie Chill
dren of Israel? The answer may not be ready at
hand, but the manifest relationship can scarcely
do less than to raise important questions as to the
origin of many of the sayings of the Old Testament.
Recent pronouncements by Prof JAS H. Breast
ed, famous Psychologist also trace many passages
of the ancient Scriptures to Egyptian origin far
antedatng the accepted date of the writings of the
Old Testament. The obvious conclusions are that
much of the literature of the Old Testament sup
posed to have existed only as tradition for many
centuries prior to its sterilization in the sacred
books of the Hebrews, was in fact inscribed upon
these enduring tablets.
Another outstanding fact is that discoveries in
Mesopotamia, Egypt, and now on the coast of
Syria, are in complete accord with the statements
OF the sacred Scriptures. How true it is that there
Is nothing hidden that shall not be uncovered!
Modern scholarship is doing much to prove the
truth of this ancient sayng.-Christian Science
Monitor.

The TaILv

THE word tally is derived from the French
! verb taller" (tie-yay), meaning to notch
or to score. The system Of tallying or keeping
records by means of scoring or notches was
used for centuries. The double tally was once
generally used throughout Europe and is still
employed by few of the less progressive
countries.
The double tally consists of duplicate pieces
of WOOL held by the debtor and creditor, upon
which notches are made to indicate the pay
ment of debts. Identical notches are made
upon pieces of wood, SO that comparison
may be made at later period, and the results
be found to agree, or to tally as we say The
Bank of England once used wooden tally
of the extraordinary length Of feet and
inches
