Of both Jewish and Christian faith:
Hope.
Some religions are religions Of
regret. Their golden age is In
the past; as they see II the

around in meaningless circle or
in hopeless decay.
But any one who will read the
Psalms with p penetrating eye car
see how bright the future is to the
Psalmist's mind. Bright, because ii
belongs TO God. II Paul can say that
hope is one Of the things that en-

Experience of God
NNE THING every one will think
~ Of: the Psalms. Bible students
realize that the titles Of the Psalms
are not part Of the original psalms,
but represent later editors beliefs
as to the authors, However scholars
are agreed that David did write
some Psalms and may In fact be
called the father OF the psalm-book.
Now the chief importance of
any Psalm is not that II Is
hymn or has been the basis of
other hymns las most of them
havel: II is not simply that ii is
beautiful and unforgettable
poetry. The main point is that II
IL first-hand record Of first
hand experience of God.
We do not always realize how
much Of our own religious expert
ence grows out If the experience Of
others. We would lack much Of our
interest in God and knowledge Of
him If We had net been walked up,
so to speak. by some one else first.
Think Of the millions Of readers q
the 23rd Psalm, for instance. from
IDavid's time to noW.--the millions
who have been inspired and com
forted by 1t. How much we owe to
David

Singing Faith

WE CHRISTIANS owe to David
w also that blending Of beauty
with religion which is mark Of our
faith. Beauty apart from religion
can drag men down and destroy
them. Religion apart from beauty is
usually a harsh and cold affair.
There is a great deal Of irreligious
beauty and unbeautiful religion in
the world, and neither Of them does
the world much good
a But for David religion and
beauty flowed into each other,
or rather beauty found its high
est level in the service of God.
II was not only In the words and
music Of the Psalms.
While David did not build the
Temple, he dreamed it, and before
a stone was laid he could see in his
minds eye the fine carvings, the
gold inlays, the cypress and the fir
the brilliantly woven hangings; all
the gorgeous cleaning Temple that
he never lived TO see, was In his
mind and heart He it was who gath
cred singing men and singing WON
en- for the worship Of God the Lord
Whatever beauty there is in our
church buildings, in our hymns, in
our services, we owe much Of the
original inspiration Of il to David,
'Where Cross the Crowded
WAYS of Life
DELIGfON that cannot be applied
II to daily living, religion that is a
purely solitary affair, has never
been typical Of the best in Chris
tianity. Christianity has something
TO say to the world, our word, our
world, something to do in it. Chris
tianity in retreat. in hiding, is not
full Christianity.
Perhaps we owe more OF this
ideal to David than we realize.
For when he came to the throne.
the ark-sacred symbol Of the
presence of GOd-was in little
out-of-the-way place where few
could know Of IL. David took that
ark and brought il to the nations
capital. Shrine and city must be
united.
So wherever today the church
stands literally or hguratively at
the crossroads Of life, challenging,
inviting. winning men, a constant
reminder Of God, we should b.
thankful 10 David, who set the sym
