And jt seems' to ex- ‘"'press.the varying moods which.we ob serve in our neighbors, and .of which we are half eon scions in ourdPlves, as. we try to keep our m< ri.tiVl sanity, our (’hristhm faith. The Psalm begins and ends with prayer, for it is tlie mitiYour- ing of his heart's desires by a godly injin; Imt he passes .through various phases'of thought as he prays—some *worthy_of the highest Christian salnf-' liness—softie not so worthy, for he hail the weaknesses common to'our poor humanity. “Hear my prayer.”- So he begins.
