Text: Psalm 1se:1-12, 70, "a

Search me, o God, and know
my heart" says the Psalnnist in
this lesson on the ever-present
God. Try me, and KIN my
thoughts; and see it there be any
wicked way in me-" ;.
What a prayer that is! What
courage it takes to make it in
sincerity, and yet how wise and
sensible it isl. The balanceFef the
prayer is to be led in the way
everlasting. Most of us want to be
led in that way. but do many OF
us make. the prayer that God may
search us with the same earnest
ness with which the Psalmist ex'
pressed it? (
1t is wise prayer because it
recognizes facts, God searches us
and knows us, whether we like
it or not. There is nothing that
we can hide from Him. We may
conceal ourselves, or something Of
ourselves, from our nearest and
closest friends, but there is moth
ing hidden from God.
AS the Psalmist says, He knows
our downsitting and our uprising;
He understands our thought afar
off. Need we be surprised that the
Psalmist says, Such knowledge
is too wonderful for me-" and that
he emphasizes the seriousness of
this realization that no m te r
where he goes, he cannot flee from
the presence of God .

Why should one wish to escape
from the presence of God The
wish perhaps is inevitable if we

GOOD DEED PAYS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla Mack
J. Strazulla today had reason to
believe the old maxim that a good
deed never goes unrewarded.
Last April Strazulla, a laundry
truck driver, rescued a child from
a yacht basin here. He forgot about
the incident until last week when
he received a letter from the child's
mother in Chicago. Enclosed was a
check for 5000.

shotgun, a walking stick and sew
eral rocks in q feud with a family
by the name Of Foxx whose Weap'
