Miss Margaret Wheeler of Char- 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. * - ft New vending machine being constructed in Chicago says “thank you” when you make a purchase. Wonder what it says when, someone drops a slug in the coin slot? lotte spent the weekend with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. O. S. Cochran and Mrs. J. S. Wheeler. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Luther spent Friday in Columbiy as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Heyward Singley. IQ53 Notice .
