R SINWYS(ooL (By E. 07 SELDERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) L ESSON FOR JUNE 13 BLESSEDNESS OF FORGIVENESS. LESSON TEXT-1salm 32. GOLDEN TEXT-Biessed Is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered-Psalm 32:1. This psalm is believed to have grown out of David's experience with Nathan (see Rom. 4:6-8). ft is the second of the seven so-called "peni tential psalms" (6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 180, 143). While it is sad, it is at the same time one of the most joyful of all psalms. It is the record. of bitter sor row and also of heartfelt praise, and is as vital in its message 'today as the day it was given to'the world. I. The State or Condition of Happi noes. (1) What Is happiness? vv. 1, 2. The blessed or happy man is the one whose sin is covered. God only can forgive sin and has plainly set before us his agency, viz., the shed blood. David as king enjoyed the pleasures of life, but he also knew the result of hidden sin, of gins covered. The joy of forgiveness is offered to all who accept God's gift of justifica tion (Acts 10:43). The psalmist seems to multiply words. "Transgression" means rebellion; "sin" to miss the mark (Rom. 3:23); "iniquity," to be crooked. When men try to cover sin we are expressly told the result (Prov. 28:13), but God literally takes away when he forgives and "covers" sin (John 1:29; Ps. 103:12; .85:2). Nei ther man or devil can uncover what he has covered. (2) Who Is unhappy? vv. 3, 4. Contrasted with the state or condition of happiness granted to the forgiven sinner is presented that of those unforgiven. David kept silence without only to have a raging tempest within-lips silent, bones "roaring." During the days of David's silence fol lowing his sinful act he was guilty of increased acts of sin and cruelty (2 Sam. 12:31). The origin of the word Selah is not known. It probably indi cated a musical interlude and in this psalm most appropriately and dramat ically appears. (3) How we may be happy, vv. 5, 6. All sin is uncovered to God. His all-seeing eye can pene trate man's futile endeavors to hide his transgressions. The first step to forgiveness and to happiness Is con fession of guilt. God's heavy hand wrought saving faith in David and such faith has as its first condition confession, "I acknowledged my sin." Such confession is full and frank, Nothing is held back nor has it any element of hypocrisy, and it always secures results (I John 1:9; Luke 15: 20-23). The godly man, the man who is the recipient of God's grace thus bestowed, prays in a time "when thou mayest be found," or (see margin) "in the time of finding out sin" (v. 6 R. V.). The prophet tells us that there is a time when we may not find God (Isa. 65:6) and Paul tells us when he may be found (II Cor. 6:2). ii. How to Continue in the State of Being Happy. (1) Our security (v. 7). When men forgive they do not "cover." WVhat God hides he forgets (Isa. 38:17; Micah 7:19). Our security, our "hid ing place" is Jehovah. Our preserver is Jehovah (Ps. 91:31; Isa. 32:1, 2). Jehovah preserves from trouble those whom he forgives (Ps. 34:19), Such men have a serenity, a "peace" even the "peace of God" which the sinner can niever have (Isa. 26:3; Rom. 5:1; Phil. 4:7). (2) Our instructor (vv. 8, 9). (a) Positively-we have one who not only forgives and blots out the past but one who has promised to "instruct," to "teach" and to "guide." Nearly all believe that the introduc tion of the personal pronouns in verse 8 indicate that God is speaking in response to David's appeal recorded in verse 6. Jehovah guides with his "eye upon" us (v. 8 R. V.) He instructs us by his spirit through his Word (Ps. 119:105; John 16:13). (b) Neg atively--Some must needs be directed by "bit and bridle." Some have to learn through bitter experience. We have our choice. Those who will not listen to instruction are compared to the horse andl the mule who "have no understanding." Even so they are more useful than those who wildly run after sin. Only thus can some 'come near"~ (v. 9 R. V.) though that is better than not to be brought near at all. (3) Our faith (v. 9). What kind of a life will God's forgiven chil dren live? What is one of the fore most characteristics of a happy life? Here is the answer, "He that trusteth in the Lord." This Is the conclusion of the whole matter. Our only joy is in the Lord "who bath done marvelous things whereof we are glad." Christ is the incarnate mercy and grace of God. In him we have God's forgiveness. lie supplies our every need (Phil. 4:19). He pardons, heals, restores, di rects, gives power (Matt. 28:18-20). Joy and impurity are never compan ions. Only the pure can purify. Only the healthy can heal. Only the right eous and free can pardon. "Rejoice in Jehovah! and leap for joy, O righteous! and gladly shout all ye upright in heart."-Maclaren. To shout a godly and acceptable shout demands that wre be "upright in heart." state of 0r..b, erty of Toledo, t Lucas County, [* Frank J. CTheney makes oath that he I senior partner of the firm of F.

COLUMN A T the recent meeting of the South ern Baptist convention at Hous ton, Texas, that great body adopted strong prohibition resolutions. The fight is now on. Let all use every ef fort to further the cause. Read the following extracts from a speech by Secretary Bryan, made in the Billy Sunday tabernacle .during last March: "It is estimated that the people of the United States spend almost two and a half billion dollars annually on intoxi cating liquors. It is difficult for the mind to comprehend so large a sum unless we resort to comparisons. "The cost of the Panama canal, the most gigantic engineering feat in his tory, was about $400,000,000. Is it not appalling to think that we spend for drink every year something like six times the costof the Panama canal? "I have endeavored to secure an ac curate estimate of the amountof money spent on education in this country, and the figure given me is $760,000,000. This pays all the teachers who instruct the children from the kindergarten to the university in this land of more than ninety million. It provides salaries for the great intellectual army whose ines timable service no figures can describe. If we were to cease these expenditures this nation, so conspicuous in all that contributes to the civilization of the world, would lapse into barbarism. And yet we spend for drink more than three times as we spend for education. "All the governmental agencies em ployed in administering the Federal government of this great nation are operated at an expense of less than $1,250,000,000. Think, if the mind can comprehend it, of this nation spending twice that amount for alcoholic liquors. "But there is an argument still more easily understood, namely, the increas ing demand for total abstinence which is being made by employers. On boats prog used to be furnmshed to sailors. It is becoming more and more the rule to deny it to them altogether. The owner of a ship cannot afford to trust passengers or cargo, or even the vessel, to a man who allows his brain to be be fuddled by alcohol. "Our railroad managers are app~lying more and more stringent rules against drink. They cannot afford to take the risk of either loss of life or damage to property involved in the employment of men who use liquor. And so on through other industries; the , more important the employment the more rigidly the use of itquor is forbidden.'' John Atkins' Farewell i ubilshed by retines.t1.)
