ECONOMICAL tIEALT HFUL DE LIGHTFUL. it'-sssmmm (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D., .Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Biblo Instituto of Chicago.) (Copyright. 1917. Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 25 A PSALM OF THANKSGIVING. 1 LESSON TEXT-Psalms 103. ! GOLDEN TEXT-Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forgot not all his boneflts.-Ps. 103;2. This Psalm is man's response to the goodness and mercy of God. It ex presses the joy and gratitude of a for given sinner as he worships before God. There is too much in tils Psalm for one to attempt to set it forth, so we must be content to display some of its most prominent notes. I. Man's Entire Being Should Sing God's Praise, v. 1. The true worship per praises God with every faculty of his being; lis intellect, emotion, de sires, affections all unite in praising Jehovah. The entire being responds In a song of harmonious praise. Some praise God with their voices hut not with their hearts; some with their in tellect but not with their aflections; some with their emotions but not wviti their wills. That braise which involves the entire being alone is pleasing to God. 1i. The Benefits Granted, vv. 2-0. The Psalmist exhorts nun not to forget all God's benefits. This seems to be need ed now as well as then, for most of us are better at remembering our troubles and adversities, our losses and our sor rows, than we are at remembering our mercies and blessings. It would be a good thing for some of us to keep a record of the good things of life and see that, after all, our blessings out weigh our burdens. We have more days of sunshine than of clouds, more joys than we have of sorrows, more hours when we are freo from pain than we suffer with pain. If God were as forgetful of us as we are of Him, life would be nard indeed. (1) Forgiveness of sins, v. 3. In forgiveness we are freed from the curse of sin and its blight ahd burdens are removed. We are not only for given, but we are healed of sin's (115 ease! not only freed from the hurdens of sin but of its effects, so that we do not go after the things of this world. To be saved for heaven means that we are saved from the world. (2) Iledemption, v. 4. We have been saved by Christ giving imself as a ransom for our souls. (3) Satisfaction, v. 5. Vhen God redeems, ie so thoroughly renews the aun that the good things which he gets from God satisfy him. Ills bless ings are so real that he finds salisfac tion in God. Men and womiwen of the world are reaching out after fleeting things. They are ever grasping after sohinil1111g, but nre never satisfied. Not so with the redeemed soul ; he finds absolute satisfaction In the things which God gives him. Worldings may be satiated, but God's redeemed alone are satisfied. (4) Executing judgment in behalf of the oppressed, v. 0. He is always on the side of the oppressed. God undler takes for his own, sand sooner- or later He wvill mete out justice to all. There is a reckoning day for the world comi ing. Those who have done evil shall suffer loss ; those who have done good shall be rewarded. Iii. Attributes of God for Which He Should Be Praised, vv. 7-18. These attributes have been displayed in God's dealings with his chosen people. (1) Merciful and gracious, v. 8. He is slow to anger and plenteous in mer cy. An examnple of his mercy is seen in the fatheir of the prodligal son run ning to meet his son and kissing huim. A very little thlought will make very evident howv God withholds his ainger aind waits patiently for an opportunity to extend his mercy. (2) Uie will not always "chide." vv. 8-12. When God forgives he forgives forever. Men say they forgive, but how often they "chide" and "keep ainger." God1 hias niot dealt with us ac cording to our sins for, as the heav ens arc i-ghi ablove thle carthi, so gr-eat is his mer-cy toward them that they fear him. So ren lyV hats God forgiv~en us that our trangs~as-ins arec as fair remnoved1 from us as the l~aist is from the West, an ine-aleuhle distanhic. (8) He is compialssioate and tender, vv. 13-14: This reveals God's fatherly heart. lie fully knows our weakness. lie doces not (heal -ith~ us5 as thiough we were strong. Hie knows how weak and -lible we are through the fall, it is co..usolinug to knowv that God1 considers oulr "frame"1 HTe knowvs that we are "dust." (4) Is mercy is everlasting, eternal. vv. 15-17. Man is at best ti-ansitory, but God is eteinah. The one who rests his hopes in God is eternally safe. This should encourage us to lean not upon man but upon God, (5) God is gracious to those who are in covenant relationship, v. 18. If we would enjoy these blessings revealed in God's attributes we must lbe God's children. ils mercies tare restrictive, only bestowed upon his own children. IV. A Call to All the Universe to Praise the Lord, vv. 19-22. Since God Is such a wonderful Being, He should have universal praise. His kingdom is over all; his Lordship should have recognition. The true conquerors are often those erbom the world calls the vanquished. I --Max Muller.
