.ink it Over!
T HIS is from a recent column
by John Temple Graves,
well known Southern editor
and columnist:
“Birds, beasts and men, with
all their equipment and dreams
and economies, are flying South.
“According to a Southern
company whose officials have
been meeting in my town, the
South is growing dramatically
faster than the nation.
“In the last decade its per
capita income has increased 186
per cent while that of the na
tion has increased only 149 per
cent.
“In bank deposits it was 237
per cent against 145.
“In life insurance in force,
135 per cent against 91.
“In value of manufactured
products, 376 per cent against
330.
“In value added by manufac
ture, 352 per cent against 312.
In electric energy sales, 172 per
cent against 136.”
This is a wonderful record
that has been made within the
past ten years, and at the rate
of growth the South is now mak
ing, no one dares predict what
the next decade will bring forth.

Bible Comment:
Religion of Thanks
Typified in Psalms
In Praise of God
■Y^HEN the Apostle Paul, con-
^ templating the blessings of
God through Christ, sought to
express his wonderment and
praise, prose failed him, and he-
burst into the lyricism of psalm;’
“Thanks be unto God for His un
speakable gift.”
The giving of thanks was a
deep and impassioned thing in
Paul, the Christian.
And the note of thankfulness
was deep and strong in the re
ligion of the Old Testament,
which was the heritage of both
Paul and his Master.
Its highest expression is in the
Psalms.
• If one had to choose one Psalm
that typifies the religion of
thanksgiving, one would prob
ably pick the 107th, although the
group of Psalms from the 103rd
through the 107th dre full of the
note of thanks.
Thankfulness in religion is not
only a proper attitude for bless
ings received, it is also an atti
tude of receptiveness.
An unthankful soul is a closed
soul. Not much can penetrate the
wall of an unthankful spirit.
Probably the most beautiful of
all the Psalms are those in which
the note of thankfulness is up
permost—•€ Psalms of praise
for what God has done, that call
upon men to bless Goddtor His
goodness and wonderful works to
the children of men, and that
express the love of the Lord as
the proper response of a thankful
heart.
✓There is such a thing as saying
“Please” to God. The Psalmists
knew how to say it, as humble
suppliants, and they knew how
to say “Thanks.”
As the Psalms offer us the rich
substance of praise and thank
fulness, they offer, too, the finest
models in beauty of form and
expression. •
^t is not a coincidence, but in
frank recognition of this, that in
so many churches the responsive
readings are drawn from the
Psalms.
