THE world today appears to be
i confronted with chaos. But
there is a gleam of light, a ray of
hope, shining steadily through the
gloom. The light will glow
brighter and brighter as right
eousness revives in the hearts Of
men. The Psalmist admonished
Psalms 1850: Commit thy way
unto the Lord; trust also in him.
S. And he shall bring forth thy
righteousness as the light, and thy
judgment as the MONDAY" The
light of righteousness is trse
knowledge of God and man. In
proportion as thought is lifted to
recognize God as ever present,
gratitude, Joyous praise, and un-
derstanding of Him unfold to us,
and the darkened sense of hatred,
fear, greed, distress, suffering, and
all suggestions Of the carnal mind
are destroyed.
The Psalmist sings Psalms 100:
y, Serve the Lord with glad
ness: come before his presence
with singing. The prophet Jere-
miah exhorts us to "sing with
gladness" Jeremiah 31:0. Da-
vid, having proved for himself
that loneliness, fear, distress,
doubt, and misery flee before joy
Gus song, wrote many Psalms
wherein he counsels lis to rejoice
and to sing.
The power OF songs of gratitude
and praise to God to set free from
bondage was proved by Paul and
SiIas. Unjustly accused and un-
mercifully treated, as recorded in
the sixteenth chapter of the Acts
of the Apostles, they had been cast
into prison. AT midnight they
prayed and sang hymns OF praise
to God. Then suddenly there
was 4 great earthquake. Their
chains were unloosed, and the
prison doors were thrown open.
The guard of the prison was much
alarmed. When treasured by
Paul, he earnestly asked Paul and
Silas what he must do to be
saved. He listened to their
words OF truth, and he and his
entire household believed in God.
Preceding Jesus ordeal in that
hour OF gloom in the garden Of
Gethsemane, something very sig
nificant took place. The disciples,
as the Gospels record, had met in
an upper room to eat the last sup
