THE TWO WAYS
Lesson: Psalm 1; Matth«Av 7:
24-27.
Golden Text: The Lord knoweth
the way of the righteous; But the
ways of the wicked shall perish
Psalm 1 :fi.
After studying the book of Job
the First Psalm acts as a comple
ment—if we should need it—to
the truth which Job teaches. The
hook of Job emphasizes the fact
that while in general it can confi
dently be affirmed that suffering
is the result of sin, nevertheless
the suffering of the righteous is
very real and must be accounted
for on some basis other than the
simple statement that God always
rewards the righteous and always
punishes the evil. In Job we re
mind ourselves that the genera 1
,
rule has some very arresting ex
ceptions. In this First Psalm we
return again to a study of the
general rule. Certainly it is true
that, taken by and large, right liv
ing' makes people happy and evil
living makes them unhappy and
carries them on to ruin.
The First Psalm is a study in
contrasts. It shows the blessedness |
and good fortune of the righteous
man, and the unhappiness and ul
timate ruin of the unrighteous.
The Bible is interested not so.
much in happiness as in blessed
ness. Happiness means a condi
tion in which pleasure predomin
ates over pain. It arises from the
satisfaction of desires and the pos
session of certain things. Blessed
ness, on the other hand, is some
thing even higher. It is the inner
peace which comes from
right with God and man.
Our lesson says that the blessed
man is one that walks not in the
counsel of the wicked, nor stands
in the way of sinners, nor sits in
the seat of the scornful.
Anyone who thinks back over
his life can see how truly the three

from obeying the law of the I.oid.
And obedience is possible because
he thinks about this law and tries

ist says that he is like a tree—like
a tree planted by the rivers of j
water. Trees may spring up any
where, but trees which are plant
ed along rivers and irrigation ca
nals have a distinct advantage ov- |
«r alt others. The righteous man
is like this. He definitely* places
himself where he can take full ad
vantage of the offer of God’s
-race Bv his daily associations,
his reading of the Bible, his time
set aside for prayer; by the
thoughts and desires he cherishes
in his heart, he plants his life as
t lr>sely as he can to the clear wa
ter which flows from the throne of
Clod and of the Lamb.
A life of goodness is a life oi
growth, and it is a life of growth
because it is planted by the

completely worthless. All the
farmer wants to do with chaff is
| to get rid of it as quickly and as
easily as possible.
“Therefore the wicked shall not
stand in the judgment, nor sinners

The way of the wicked proves
itself to be the way of folly in
this world, and the revelation of
God convinces us that it leads to
the final ruin of the soul.

of rescuing the perishing and car
ing for the dying.
One cold, winter afternoon the
philospher, Thomas Carlyle, was
sitting before the open fire-place
in his library. The door opened
and the new pastor of the local
church entered the room. After
Carlyle and the young .minister
had visited for a few minute?
the young minister asked the
great philosopher, “What do
think this parish needs most?"
Carllyle, without any hesitancy
is a man who knows God
replied, “What this parish needs
wise than by hearsay.’,’ Most any
man, whether he be minister or
God. All mien can look up at
them. The One who did it
have had great power and great
wisdom!” That kind of statement
made by a minister or any kind
of Christian worker has little
power over the lives of other!
people. But when someone ’ can
s ay in all sincerity, “I know the
God that this universe. Through

audiences that he saw a light from
heaven and that he heard a voice

despised was the Son of God and
had become his personal Saviour.
That story told in an authorit
ative way by the Apostle Paul
shook the foundations of the Ko

Dear Belmont:
I want to thank you and the
other editors who helped us with
the drivers' license renewal this
year. More than 80% applied
before the deadline compared with
50% last year. The new system
enabled us to clear even the 200,

weeks. Those who did not re
new in time ate standing the safe
drivers' examination.
You can see from the enclosed
leaflet what the examination
and the permanent record file of
the drivers license system has
meant in this crusade to stop
killings and injuries on the streets
and highways during the past 12
months.
We will always be grateful for
your assistance in building pub
