Psalms of Deliverance.-Psairae 85,
126,
,Commentary. -I A plea. tor inercY
(b5: 14)- The Plea lamtle in verses
4-7 is prefaced by a grateful recogni-
tion of what the Lord had already
tione for Israel; and a knowledge of
what had been done Inspired waft -
deuce to make further largo requests.
1. Lord-Jellovain the eternally -ex-
isting One, the almighty, tree, persenal
Being, tee Father of stales (Nutt, 10:
22). thou has been favorable -Here is
a hearty recognitioa 6f God' el power,
authority and interest in the affaire ot
men, and acknowledgment a his
goodnese in all his dealiugs with Is-
rael, thy land -It was the land which
God had provided as a dwelling -Place
aor his people, from which they had
been driven because of their sins, and
to which they were being restored
through the divine favor. limu bast
brought back the captivity of Jacob -
The punishment foretold by the pro-
phets had been inflicted, and the sin of
idolatry, for which Israel was chastis-
ed, had been forsaken. The thing
which to human reason seems impose
Miele had been accomplished 2, for-
given, the iniquity -Sin is here repre-
sented as a moral unevenness, or dis-
tortion, or a missing of the mark, and
forgiveness is the removal of crook-
edness or Moral defect. covered all
their sin -Christ is covering, "propiti-
ation" (1 John 2:2), for our sins The
atonement of Christ covers the Bins of
all who in the evangelical settee be-
lieve in him, and he does not remem-
ber them any more forever. selah-
No satisfactory explanation lia.s ever
been given of the meaning. of this
word. It seems to have been used to
give some direction as to the way tbe
portion of the psalm should be sung.
3. all thy wrath -The divine wrath,
or indignation had been let loose upon
the nation because of sin, but now it
was withdrawn, and the people were
rejoicing in the divine favor.
4. turn us -Although much had al,
ready been done in the nation's rester-
ation, much still remained to be done
before they could enjoy full national
prosperity. The captivity had been
turned , but as yet only a small pro-
portion of the Jews had turned from
Babylon to Jerusalem, The expression
means 'convert," and was applicable to
Israel as a nation and as individuals.
0 God of our salvation. -This was a
bitting acknowledgment for them to
bake, that God was their sole hope and
belp. The prayer included in this
verse is expressive in penitence, need
and faith in God's mercy and power,
5. wilt thou be angry.. .for ever -The
desolation visited upon Jerusalem and
the land of Judah when the nation was
iteeu into captivity was great, and
conditions there grew worse during the
5eventy years of exile; consequently,
the process of restoration was slow
and arduous. It was more than twenty
years after the decree of Cyrus author-
izing the return that the temple was.
restored, and nearly one hundred be-
fore the walls of Jerusalem were re-
built. Sin works ruin and its conse-
quences are likely to be long-lived. 6.
revive us again -Faith increased as
the petitioner proceeded with the re-
quest. The need was great, butap-
plieation was being made to the right
source, and contidence was growing
strong.. 7 , shew us thy mercy -It was
not enough that mercy had been shown
to Israel in their deliyerance from
Babylonian captivity.
II, Blessings promised (S5: 8-14. 8.
Hear what God the Lord will speak -
"When we pray, we ought to listen to
hear what the Lord will say to us. He
will speak peace -God's anger was
turned away from Israel because of
their thanged attitude toward him, and
in response to their prayer of faith
be would speak peace to them. His
saints -Those who had set themselves
apart for God's service. Let them not
turn again to folly -In the past the
Jewish nation had been unstable. They
had repeatedly turned to the Lord and
had as often forsaken him. It is the
height of folly to tutu to sin after one
has known the Lord. 9. That glory
might dwell in our land -In the time
of Solomon there was great prosperity
in the nation, and the glory of the
Lord was manifested In the temple at
Jerusalem. In mercy and truth are
we met together -God's words con-
cerning Israel had been proved to be
true, and his mercy had been shown
in the nation's restoration. IL Truth
shall spring out of the earth -There
bad been a period of spiritual dearth,
but the truth of God would prevail
In the hearts of men as a consequence
of their turning to the Lord. Doubt-
less reference is also made to the time
when Christ shall appear on earth to
establish his kingdom through his
ministry and death, 12. Our land shall
yield her increase-13ecause of Israel'e
sin the land had become barren, hut
with a return to righteousness its fer-
tility would be restored. 33. Right-
eousness shall go before him -As a
herald to prepare the way for the
people.

QUESTIONS.--tipon what occasion
are these psalms supposed to have been
written? How long was Israel in cap-
tivity? In what sense le the name
Jacob here used? What reasons had
Israel for rejoicing? What Is meant
by the Lord's anger? How had God
shown. His mercy to Israel? 'Upon
what conditions can one enjoy peace of
soul? What promises were given to
the nation? 'Why did the land of Is-
rael become barren? On what coudis
tions weuld its fruitfulness be re-
stored? What is said about sowing
and reaping?
PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Tople.-Restoration.
I. Of Israel to divlue favor,
II. Of Israel's dividea forces.
I. Of Israel to ivine favor, Public
interests wore very near the 'mei-
tuist's heart. He evidently belonged
to the time immediately after the re-
turn from captivity. By strong faitla
he saw In vision a perfectly harmon-
ious cooperation and relation between
God and man. The people of God in
4 very low and weak condition were
taught how to aadress themselves to
God to acknowledge with thankfulness
the great things he had done for there.
Their return from Babylonian captive
ItY was a restoration from exile, bone
dage and destitution to former relig-
thus privileges. In the misery of
their servitude they realized the men,
cies they had so thanklessly enjoyed,
Cyrus had proclaimed liberty to the
captives, yet it was the Lord's doing
according to His word many Years be-
fore. It was the divine purpose to
reverse the moral state of things, so
long prevaleet among the people, to
establish a blessed partnership in an
endeavor to make humanity what God
would have it be. From their past
experiences, from the constancy with
which God had kept his word, from
his demonstrated and eternal un -
changeableness they expected that for
winch they prayed. While captives
itt Babylon the 'thole were long sow-
ing in tears, but they were at length
brought forth with joy. Then they
reaped the benefit of their patient suf-
fering and brought their sheaves with
them to their own land in their exper-
iences of tae goodness of God to them.
God's law of compensation worked out
its unfailing result in the experience
of his people. In the various afflic-
tions of life God appears in the stern-
er aspects of Ins character. In its
pleasures and enjoyments he is seen in
his tender aspect. This union and co-
operation bring about the blessed re-
sult of training the soul for the higher
life. The moral prosperity of earth
will be a source of delight to heaven,
a delight springing from the discovery
of an incerase of happiness in the
universe.
II. Of Israel'a divided forces. The
release of Israel is called the turn-
ing again of the captivity of Zion. The
restoration of their eaered interests
and the reviving of the public exer-
ciee of their religion were the most
valuable advantages of their return.
The psalmist recalled the rejoicing
which filled the hearts of the Israel-
ites on their return from captivity in
the midst of the acknowledgment by
Gentilee and Jews that their deliver-
ance was a wonderful and mighty
dead of Jehovah. He prayed for a like
restoration to their .homes of their
companions who still lingered in cap-
tivIty. The bringing of those yet in
captivity to Join their brethren would
be as welcome to bath as water upon
a dry land. A part ot the nation had
returned to a ruined city, a fallen tem-
ple and a mourning land, where they
were surrounded by jealous and pow-
erful enemies. Discouragement had
laid hold on the feeble company. Re-
storation was but partly accomplieh-
ed. After a retrospect of the former
mercies bestowed upon the people',
prayer was made for a renewed mani-
festation of the same mercy during
present sufferings. The psalmist re-
solved to listen for God's pledge ot
peace to hie people. His prayers and
expectations were grounded on what
God had done. The remembrance of
the, bright beginning encouraged him
to believe for complete triumph for
the divided forces of Israel. Songs and
sighs intermingled in his psalm con-
cerning the restoration of Israel. He
sought forgiveness and coneolatioh
from God. He watched, waited and ex-
Vected divine direction and blessing.
God had done much for his ancient
people. There was a striking contrast
between the taunt of those who car-
ried the Jews into captivity and tho
saying among them when their cap-
tivity was ended. They had won the
confidence oftheir oppreSsors who re-
joiced in their restoration and aided
them with kindly gifts. They had
witnessed their calamity and triumph-
ed in it. They observed their deliv-
erance and approved it. Mercy and
truth worked inseparably in all God's
dealings with His people. T.R.A.

London, Cable - Hostile aero-
planes attacked the southeast coast of
England this evening. A few of them
attempted to reach London, but fail-

age have been received as yet.
The official report issued by Field
Marshal French, in charge of the
aerial defence of Great Britain fol-
lows:
"Hostile aeroplanes attacked the
southeaet coast of England this even-
ing. The raiders were reported from
various points along the coast of Suf-

"The majority of the raiders did not
venture tar inland. A few of them
headed toward London, but failed to
meach the metropolis.
"Bombs were dropped in Suffolk,
Essex and Kent. but no reports re-
garding casualties or damage have
been received as Yet."
When the aid raid warning was is-
sued in London everybody took to
cover in the usual way. They waited
two hours without hearing the sound
ot defensive gun or the bomb of a
raider, and it became evident that the
German airmen had been headed off
from the London area.

FAMOUS "ACE'S"
LAST AIR FIGHT
Guynemer Ambushed by
Cloud of Enemies
While Attacking Four at

Paris cable says: The last fight of
Capt. Guynemer, France's premier air-
man, who was credited in the army
aviation record with having shot down
53 German aeroplanes, and with hav-
ing destroyed at least 25 that were
uncounted, is described by a comrade,
who is quoted by the Excelsior as fol-
lows:
"Guynemer sightel five machines

Typical Methods to Meet
Wasps of Sea
By Which Britain is Beating
Them.
London Cable - (By Reuters Ot-
tawa agency). -Among the encounters
of British vessels with submarines the
following will serve to illustrate the
diversity of methods employed to deal
with the scourge of the seas.
First instance: A torpedo gunboat
noticed the periscope of is boat off its
starboard bow, and about 600 yards
away. The ceptain immediately swung
his ship around until the submarine
was on his port bow, and travelling
slowly in the opposite direction.
He continues: "A torpedo boat on
patrol duty in the Atlantic observed a
steamer torpedoed by a submarine.
She immediately proceeded to ber as-
sistance. The steamer sank, and
having picked up the survivors, the
torpedo boat circled around searching
for the submarine. A white patch was
sighted on the water right ahead. The
torpedo boat made for the spot. When
within fifty yards of the spot a peri-
scope suddenly appeared, and the gun-
boat, whose speed was then seventeen
knots, altered her course so that she
passed directly over the submarine,.
The impact of the collision was felt,
and when the captain judged that the
U-boat was directly under his ship he
dropped an explosive charge. When
this was exploded another was drop.
ped, and a seaplane which circled
around the spot reported large pools
of oil on the surface. A group of mine
sweepers working in this vicinity later
reported an obstruction at the spot
where the submarine was Int.
Third instance: In this case there
Is no probability whatever of the U-
boat concerned having escaped, A

he British 'boat submerged, and a
quarter of an hour later succeeded in
picking up the enemy in her periscope.
She fired at an estimated range of 800
yards, and after a pause of a ininute
heard the concussion, of an explosion.
She rose to the surface, and found a
patch of oil, with survivors swimming
in it. These were taken prisoner, and
they stated that the torpedo had
struck them just below the conning
tower. Their submarine had rolled
over and sank, the sarvivors being
blown up through the conning tower.

ENTENTE DRIVE
AGAINST SOFIA
Washington Report - The delay
in the mobilization of the Greek army
for use on the Entente side or the
war has been due to lack of equip-
ment, which is to be fernished by
France, Britain and the United States.
This explanation of the delay was
communicated to the Greek Legation
to -day by the Foreign Office at Ath-
ens. When the necessary equipment
has been furnished Greece will be
able to furnish 300,000 men for use in
the war.
The plan of the allies in the Bal.
kans, as partially disclosed to -day, is
to advance upon Sofia, capital of Bub
garia. and thus to cut off communica-
tions between Germany and Turkey.
Germany was said to be drawing very
great quantities of supplies, especial-
ly oil and wheat, from Turkey, and
this traffic cannot be interrupted un-
til the line is cut by the internation-
al army now operating in Macedonia.
Britain and France have advanced
to the Greek Government a loan of
1,000,000 francs, and Greece has am.
ple assurance from the United States
that it will do everything possible to
assist Greece in making ready,
it was believed to be improbable
that the allies would decide to launch
an extensive offensive in the Balkans
before late next spring.
