THANKSGIVING
It is a good thing to give thanks
to the Eternal,
And to sing praises unto Thy
name, 0 Most High;
So show forth Thy loving kind
ness in the morning,
When our garners are full, af
fording all manner of store,
And our sheep bring forth thous
ands and tens of thousands
in our fields,
When our oxen are well laden,
When there is no breaking in and
sallying forth,
And no outcry in our streets---
Happy is the people that is in
such case--
Yea, happy is the people whose
God is the Lord.
When 1 consider the heavens,the
work of Thy fingers,
The moon and the stars which
Thou hast ordained,
What is the man that Thou art
mindful of him?
And the son of man that Thou
visitest him?
Yet Thou hast made him a little
lower than the angels
And crownest him with glory
and honour.
We are His people and the sheep
of his pasture,
Enter into His gates wi t h
thanksgiving and into His
courts with praise.
Give thanks unto Him and bless
His name.
For the Lord is good, His loving
kindness endureth forever,
And His faithfulness unto all
generations.
He healeth the broken in heart,
And bindeth up their wounds;
He telleth the number of the
stars, and knoweth them ab
by their names;
Great is our Lord and great i
His power; yea and His w i
dom is infinite.
Sing unto the Eternal wit li
thanksgiving---sing praises
upon the harp unto our God,
Who covereth the heavens with
clouds,
And prepareth rain for the earth,
And rnaketh the grass to grow
upon the mountain, and herL
for (he use of men;
He givet'h to the beast his food,
And to the young ravens
which cry.
it is a good thing to sing praise
unto our God-yea, a joylui
and pleasant thing it is t<
be thankful.
Praise the Lord from the earth.
Praise the Lord fro m the
heavens,
Praise Him from the heights,
Praise ye Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His host.
---From 1 he Psalms.

Its fine to stumble on a good
idea but that doesn’t mean one
should fall over the threshold id
life going after it.
It has been so well said, “When
you are green you are growing.
When you think you are ripe you
begin to get rotten.”
S)me of our auto drivers are

of Chicago.

SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 10:24-39.
GOLDEN TEXT—Let him that heareth
say. Come.—Revelation 22:17.
‘'Bewilderment.’' That Is the
word which the president of a great
American university recently said
accurately described the present
condition of the minds of men. Lit
tle wonder that the men of the world
are bewildered, for they are like
mariners who sail an unknown sea
after having thrown away map and
compass. Without Christ and with
out God’s Word men cannot be any
thing but bewildered.
That which gives us even greater
concern is that many who are Chris
tians, who really know the Guide
and who have the Guidebook, are
also declaring themselves to be ut
terly bewildered. What is the rea
son? Obviously that they have not
read the Book and have not talked
with their Lord.
Our lesson for the coming Lord’s
Day touches on one of the problems
which causes many Christians to
question God’s love and care. They
find that their efforts to testify for
Him by word or life meet with a
violent reaction from a bitter
world, and they discover that such
a life involves personal sacrifice and
frequently results in even the mem
bers of their own families turning
against them. Can this be God’s
way of dealing with His people?
The answer is found in His Word.
The Christian is to be
I. Fearless in a Hostile World (vv.
24-20, 32. 33).
Note carefully that he is not to
be silent (vv. 32, 33). We deny our
Lord when we fail to speak for Him
when we ought to do so. Christi
anity is not something to be hidden
in one’s own bosom, a fire to warm
one’s own soul. It is good news
which is to be proclaimed even from
the housetops.
But, someone will say, when I
do speak there is opposition; they
call me names, they threaten to kill
me. Yes, and what of it? “The
disciple is not above his master,
nor the servant above his Lord” (v.
24). They called Jesus a devil.
They even crucified Him. Should
we then expect to be borne to glory
on flowery beds of ease? God
knows all about this, yes, even
about the hidden and whispered
plottings of evil men (v. 26). He
will deal with them and judge them
in due season.
We need not fear men. The most
they can do is to kill the body.
Let us consider the eternal God,
who not only may lake the life out
of the body, but is also able to cast
both soul and body into hell (v. 23).
God is not as a theory, a bit of
pious imagination. He is real, He
is all-powerful. Why then should
we be fearful if we serve Him in
faithful devotion?
11. Fearless in Personal Life (vv.
29-31).
It is one thing to be bold in the
midst of battle. It is quite an
other thing to be fearless in the
quiet of one’s own room, or of one’s
own heart. Satan is expert at that
point. He comes to us witli his
humiliating accusations of our un
worthiness, yes, of our worthless
ness. Sadly enough our own knowl
edge of ourselves confirms his dis
mal judgment.
But wait! If we are Christians
we are not our own. We are bought
with a price, the precious blood of
Christ. We belong to Him, He is
our advocate with the Father. Let
Him meet our accuser. What does
He say? He tells us that He has
numbered the very hairs of our
head (v. 30), that even a dying
sparrow concerns Him, and that we
are worth more than many spar
rows (v. 31). We are His and He
is our Saviour, Friend and Brother.
Let us look up and be without fear.
111, Fearless in the Family Circle
(vv. 34-39).
Here, after all, is the acid test of
discipleship.
Christ did not come in order to
stir up needless strife between
members of the family, but He well
knew that divisions would come as
the result of true discipleship. Men
who are ordinarily kind and cul
tured in their dealings with their
friends and families but who do not
know Christ, can become like ver
itable demons against any one in
that circle who hears the call of
Christ and follows Him.
No human tie, no matter how in
timate or precious, is to be permit
ted to stand between the individual
and his devotion to Christ. If it
does, Christ is evidently no longer
first. He is no longer Lord of all in
the life, and if He is not Lord of
all, He is not Lord at all.
While it seems almost paradoxical
to say it, Scripture teaches and ex
perience demonstrates that if you
keep your life for yourself and your
own interests, it will die in your
very hands and you will lose it.
If you give your life in glad aban
don to God, on the other hand, you
will receive it back from Him trans
formed, enriched, and glorified by
His grace and blessing.
