After exhorting himself to eraire the great God on accou•nt tie the bene- fits watch he had conferred, the psalmist gave general reasons why Ile and all men should bless his hole II. Upon blessings enumerated. The psalmist specified certain causes for thanksgiving, the first of which Is the torgiveness of sin,' the key to this psalm. God first blesses man with pardon and. then receives his praises for the gift. How he nitwit are the disaster wrought by sin, he does not explain, It is plain that his mercy is so great that he forgives ein and then adds great favors and great privileges and enjoyments. Forgive- ness is a perfect blessing, a priceless blessing, the crown of God's benefits. ite loves to forgive sinners, to adopt them into his family and to cheer them with his promises. Knowledge of human frailty is the -occasion of his compassion. Consciousness el' the tender mercy enables the soul to exult in its deliverance. The pardon of sin comesfirst that it may be seeu to be au act ot pure grace. All mercies are the gifts of God, the purchase of infin- ite 'love. The acceptable return which can be made for Went is grati- tude. praiseand service. Man's; course Is downward until he is divinely for- given and healed 'and enabled to r: se to heavenly places in the realms of di- vine grace. God is again and again Presented as the source of strength, as the supreme cause of healta. He provides suitable nutriment to sustain the powers he renews. He will pro - pottiest trials to man's endurance. He will not demand more service than man is capeble of rendering. There is a spirit in man that can reeorence the Infinite, that can keep his coven- ant and obey his precepts. God will not crown a man with loving kindness and tender snercies while he clings to Itis sins. Renewal is essential. God's mercy surpasses all the extent of hu- man reason, human expectations, hu- man sentiments and hopes. "It flows a spontaneous stream from an infinite fountain." It is the attribute in which Deity perfectly delights. • God has trusted his world to demonstrate his wisdom, omnipotence and justice. The great purpose of divine revela- tion is to declare the mercy of God and lead needy humanity to accept it. 'Mercy is the exercise of a divine ben- evolence in respect to a guilty being." There is much need of proclaiming' the great truth that God can forgive sin. T. R. A.

Simon Lake, the inventor, pointed to the fact that but one British vessel of more than'1,600 tons, was reported sunk by German submarines lest week as an indicatioit at possible dan- ger to Amerieen shores from the sub- marine menace. Commander le. S. Land, ot the United States navy, took issue with' Mr. Lake when the settee said he did not believe the submarine could be effectively used against the submar- ine. A suhmarine can fight a sabinar- ine as well as a battleship can fight a battlesaip, said tho commander. Though the said foreign tendencies in submarine construction were toward displacements of 2,000, 3,000 and even 5.000 tons, Commander Isanfl declared his belief that craft of the 800 -ton type are now being most gen- erally built because of their adapta- bility for all -year use. Marley la Hay predicted the devel- opment of a "contra -submarine" or a su,bmarine-fighting undersea boat which would do most of its work while submerged. Revolutionary but practicable changes in battery, con- ning tower and motor construction will make possible the creation of such a weapon to combat the submar- ine menace, he said. - ' London cable says; Much comment has appeareu on teermany's action in supplying aertain foodstuffe to tieu- trios, watch is taken as evidence oe much better food conditions through- out the (antral' empires than in pre- vious years.
