"Whom have I in heaven but
Thee and there is nothing on
earth that I desire but Thee."
Ps. 73`25.
This word of the psalmist is a
well-known word, but could we
say it after him? This isnot
meant to make us uncertain and,
to bring doubt. But it is meant
that we may fully understand
the language of the psalmist in
its true meaning. What he is
presenting to us is not a trea-
sure which we are .to put into
our hands and look upoik,it
do ere 1t;. .I 6-,I. u"' at the :p kn
ist gives us here is a commis-
sion, an order for every day of
life; a word for the people of
this earth on their journey.
When that is the case, It might
well be that the treasure be-
comes soddenly too heavy; it
turns into a burden which, we
feel, we are unable to carry.
For the psalmist speaks here
about God. He does not speak
about Him in general terms, but
in very ,particular terms. He
does not call God a god besides
many other gods, not even the
highest god:—.But he speaks
about God as our really only
god, in heaven as well as on
earth. Ldther puts it this way:
"If I have only Thee, then I do
ask neither for heaven nor for
earth." Francois Mauriac, the
French author, says: "Perhaps
there does not exist anybody for
whom God is only enough." We
might well be in agreement with
him rather than with the psalm-
ist.

Where do your children play?
When—your—child bids you a cheery
and rushed 'Bye Mom—I'm going' ont to
play', do -you 'ever take a minute to lassoo
him -on the *ay by and ask `Where?'.
Where children play .can be much
more r important than what ;they play and
the one doctrine all parents, should follow
is to unrelentingly forbid streets -as play
areas.
George G. Ham, child safety ,director
,of the Ontario Safety League, says a rec-,
ent trip ,through a residential area showed
, a park belt or play area completely de-
void of life — with the exception of three
intelligent dogs — whereas the streets
wire filled to etirbacity with an assort-

~„e le day when
Does it come to a time that Messrs. Davis ando edford were
unable to agree Upon terms for
the continuance of the lease.
New arrangements were made
with Fred and Norval Davis con-
ducting the business as partners.

we must miss these gifts and
life becomes difficult, remember
then, the psalmist. He also be-
comes disappointed, seeing the
prosperity of the.. wicked, He
became jealous. But he did not
remain there; he confessed; "I
was stupid and ignorant,`I was
like a beast toward Thee." He
learned to realize though not
knowing yet that God's ways are
the ways of the Cross. Religion,

isbut seeurity. They say: -m
must be saved; saved from
what? from hell or for heaven?
No, that salvation is nothing but
security from fear, of death.
Whom do I desire in heaven but
Thee? He is more than heaven;
He is the Lord of heaven and
earth. For the psalmist, heaven
is not above God and besides
God and without God, hut.only
in God and from God. To live
with that faith one may sing:

scenes of life, in trouble and in
joy, The praises of my Gcfd

ected around a road drain. •
Mr. Ham wonders if in :this partic-
ular case it would not have been safer to
o
divert the auto' traffic to the sidewalk.
The Ontario Safety League advises
that wherever there is a playground, en-
courage your children over six to go and
play there. Under six, unless in company
of an older child 'or° adult use back or
front yards and sidewalk.
If you or the neighbors are worked

into perfection ask yourself' which would
he easier to grow again, grass or your
child?
'If we examine the last 'part
of the - verse; . °There is nothing
.on..earth thati de.s.ire .but .Thee,"
we will realize that this is very
difficult. There is in religion
a similarity between salvation
and security, two words which
for the early Ilebrews and- for
some mgdern religious people
have the same meaning. Secur-
ity is what man needs' and this
applies to the "this -worldly pro-
blems," such as financial, per-
sonal maturity. While salvation
is other -worldly. For the early
Hebrews, salvation meant de-
liverance from enemies, famines
into la peaceful -existence with
blessings of fertility for man,
beast and field. This is exactly
what security means for the
average man today. He gropes
for security. The psalmist an-
swers that all desires end in.
God. Is it wrong then to desire
the things of the earth; must we
become hermits? No, that is not
the meaning. What he.means is
that God ' is the' only positive
desire for him and all the rest
is negative.
The whole Bible knows how to
appreciate all that the earth has
to offer. Why? Because God is
Lord of allthings, for all that
we possess comes from Him.
It is not wrong to take pleasure
in the things of the earth,.be-
sides God. A young_girl,seek-
ing to dress herself attractifeiy
does not mean that she forsakes
God. A boy seeking to get ahead
in life is not forsaking God.
Every Christian has desires be-
sides God and that is- normal.
Only when we come to the end
of life, on our sickbed, it is good
to get loose from this earthly
life; the time is there and we
are ready for it. But now, in
the midst of life, we may enjoy
the earth, for it is God's earth.
We may enjoy life for He gave
it. He gives us strength and
power and possessions. We may
not covet that which is our
neighbors, but we may enjoy:
that which is ours. But this
verse does not put the gifts be-
fore God; neither do we desire
God because of the gifts; neither
God „besides the gifts. But we
may desire and love the gifts in
God and from God as a sign of
