Text of thq Lesson, Ps. xxiii?Memory Versos, the Whole Psalm?Golden Text, Po. xxiii, 1?Commentary Pre pares by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1903, by American Press Association.] How beautiful the description of David In II Sam. xxiii, 1, "David the son of Jesse, the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Is rael,"' and" notice In verse 2 from whence he received his messages, "The spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His word was in my tongue." The tongue and the pen were David's, but the messages were the Lord's by His spirit. See also Ex. iv, 12; Jer. L 7-?; Ezek. Iii, 10, 11; John xil, 4% and note how the prophets and eveu our Lord Himself received their messages from God the Father. The spirit of Christ in the prophets had mainly a twofold theme, the suffering of Christ and the glory that should follow (1 Pet L 11;, and in no psalm are these more fully set forth than in Ps. xxlL written as if by an eyewitness und giving some of the very words He uttered on the cross (verse 1), yet pointing on to His resur rection kingdom and glory, saying, "The kingdom is, the Lord's, und He is the governor amoug th<> nations" (verse 2S). The psalm for today seems to refer to the millennial glory of Israel and yet was the personal experience of David and may be that of each Indi vidual believer. David knew well the life of a shepherd and what it meant to care kindly for the sheep, und even to put his life in danger for them, as when he delivered one of his lambs from a lion and a bear and slew them both (I Sam. xvll, 34-3G). As he thought of his care of his flock he could look up to the livlug God, the Lord of hosts, and say, "Jehovah is my shepherd," and as he knew that his sheep were safe and well cared for under his watchful care, so he was sure that he was even better cared for by his shep herd, the stone of Israel (Gen. xllx. 24; Ps. lxxx, 1). Hear the Lord's own words in this connection In John x, 11: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd glveth his iife for the sheep." Think of Him also as great shepherd living in us and working in us to will and to do of His good pleasure (Heb. xiii, 20, 21). Then see (I Pet. v, 1-4) where as the chief shepherd He will reward those who for Him feed His flock. All the blessedness comes from being able to say My Shepherd. We may know all the facts about Him and believe all that He says He is and bus done and will do, but if there is no personal appropriation there is no benefit. The soul must be able to say My Redeemer, My Lord, My Shep herd. Then we can rest in Rom. vlil 32, and know of u surety that we shall not waut, for there is no want to them that fear Him and live uprightly before Ulm (Ps. xxxiv, 9, 10; lxxxiv, 11). Lying down Is restful, and green pastures speak of satisfaction: satisfied and restful. He sutisneth.the hungry soul. There Is such a thing us abiding satisfied (Prov. xlx, 23). und yet there is a satisfaction that will be only when vae awake In Ills likeness (Ps. xvii, 15). In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead (Col. I. 19; 11, 9). und if we are not filled full In Him the diffi culty Is with us and not with Him. Not only rest and fullness, but quiet ness of soul, is ours also in Him (verse 2, margin). He is "The Lord our Righteousness" (Jer. xxiii, (1). and the work of righteousness is peace, and the service of righteousness Is quiet ness and assurance forever. When He glveth quietness, who then can make trouble? (Isa. xxxil 17; Job xxxlv, 29.) Like sheep we are prone to wander, and straying sheep must be sought, for they do not return ot their own accord; therefore David said: "I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek thy servant" (Ps. cxix. 17G). His sheep can never perish, but may lose the joy of salvation; hence the prayer, "Restore unto me the Joy of Thy salvation" (John x. 28; Ps. 11, 12). Being righteousness Itself, He can lead only In paths of the same, and this He does, as He does all else, not for our sakes, but for Ills Name's sake (verse 3; I John II. 12; Ezek. xxxvl, 22). Let us say: "Lord. I place my hand in ! Thine and will not murmur nor repine. Content whatever lot I see, since 'tis my God thut leadeth me." Our whole life here Is lived In the shadow of death, for it is always true as David said elsewhere. 'There Is but a step be tween me and death" (I Sam. xx. 3). But He is with us every day nud all the way, nud nothing can touch us unless He permit it, and If He allows death to touch us It will be a gain, a very far better "absent from the body, present with the Lord." A table In the presence of his enemies was many a time David'j experience while fleeing from Saul and Absalom. It will be Israel's In millennial days. It will be ours as far as we need it. and It Is for God's glory. Our future as be lievers Is all told In verse 0. God is love, and love is kind, and therefore He cannot permit anything that Is not loving kindness as He sees It. however It may look to us. Here we may dwell In Him and He In us (John xlv, 23; xvli. 23; II Cor. vi. 10-18), and by and by it will be for every child of God "for ever with the Lord," and with Him on His throne (I Theas, lv, 17; Rev. ill. 21). May we ever heur His voice as In Isa. xllii. L 2: xlvlll. 17; John xlv, 27). Spot Cash Bargains at Wannamakcr, Smoak & Co.

A dispatch from Millen, Ga., says that town is to have a Confederate monument. The local chapter of thi Daughters of the Confederacy, who have been soliciting funds for the purpose of erecting a 'monument in honor of the Southern heroes, have met with sufficient encourage ment to insure the success of the undertaking, and recently placed an order for the erection of the monu ment with the McNeel Marble Com pany, of Marietta, Ga. The shaft will be placed In a con spicuous spot on the courthouse square. A life size statute of i Southern soldier in imported Italian marble will ornament the top of the monument, the entire height being about twenty-five feet. The work is to be commenced soon and is to be completed in time for the unveiling, which will take place on June 3rd, next. ? BRYAN WILL NOT STAND In the Way of Some Loyal Supporter In Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.?Some en thusiastic Democrats started a boom for Bryan for United States senator immediately after the results of the election became known, showing that the Democrats had captured a ma jority of the Nebraska legislature. When, a bit later, they discovered that no senator Is to be elected at the coming election and that an en tirely new body will be selected be fore a senator is chosen, the matter was dropped. Senator Burkett's term expires March 4, 1911. Mr. Bryan's closest friends say he has no ambitions along that line, and that he would refuse to stand in the way of loyal supporters who would logically become candidates should the Democrats carry the leg islature two years hence. * Office of City Clerk and Treasurer, City of Orangeburg, S.
