"CIVIC LOYALTY IS A FINE -SOUND-
ING PHRASE
It is afine, high' -sounding• phrase—Civic Loyalty; it makes a
good text ,For a', lot of oratory and colturins upon columns of news-
paper editorials, but after all, 'there is no difference between Civic
Loyalty and'any other kind of loyalty. y Y
Whole books have been written on the subject any number
• of sermons preached on and about it; hundreds' of speakers have
put thousands of people to sleep talking about' it. ' Still, what is it
-or perhaps'it is 'better to say: "What isn't it?„
The city ix which you live Is your city; itsinstitutions are
yours; its life your family's and your children's; and besides, you are
a part of it, in fact; you are the city, Such being the case, you nat
1 •
nrally do” not want to' be disloyal to it, for the worst of a1 is dts=
loyalty to .one's self, The man who is. disloyal to his town is lis
loyal to himself and to all that is best in him, _ He is his own '
T
worst enemy, for he undermines his
character and thus deprives' his
efforts,' of that incentive which., is the most powerful, of all factors.
Your loyalty or disloyalty makesthe place where you live what
it is or what it is' not, and you can not pass'' the buck to "George", the
;weather or prohibition.•
You expect your city to be .a good place in which to live—in
fact you sometimes get "het-up"and demand that it' be such a
place, • But it is a good place, ` only if: you yourself''clo that which
is necessary` to make it so, and to do that you have to be loyal •to
it
stick up forit, boost it, and if necessary,, fight for it, '
Loyalty reproduces a reciprocal effect- inall with. whom' •a
loyal person comes in contact. A man' who is royal' to his friends,
family,« town, country and loyal to his God will never hetroubled
with disloyalty on the part of. others,' There is no; real •success with-
out loyalty.
Whatever Civic Loyalty' is, it isn't knocking your towns buying
avail order, or going to the next nearest town to purchase when you
- can buy she sane things at home, and usually for less 'mnoney.
Spending
your money.with out-of-townpeddlers is not only
disloyalty but down -right foolhardiness; if you value your 'money.
Bragging that you bought it in the city, and that, . therefore,
it must be better, when you could have purchased it from a local
dealer, is not only disloyalty, but it is flaunting your lack of loyalty,, '
besides taking a chance on being laughed at behind your back by.
people who know. When'a-stranger says': "This looks like a pretty
good town you have here," and you reply and say "Oh, yes, it's all
right, if you like it',' or some other derogatory remark; or when you.
hear some- unthinking •`native riclicule your conimtinity,and you turn
it off as a joke that is not only disloyalty, but darned poor business,

"Bless Jehovah, 0 my soul, and for-
get not all His benefits,"—So deeply
in: earnest isthe psalmist that once
more • he stirs up his soul to praise
the Lord. Especially does he want
himself against forgetfulness, of
benefits received from God. How
Many times we have prayed God in
great agony for some signal 'relief,
as the recovery of a dear one from
dire illness; and when our prayers
were answered: it has seemed that we.
never could forget; that blessing, but
all . ourlife would, bei Y one h mn of
thanksgiving. But alas! we have soc,n
forgotten the benefit,and life has
sltin ped down into the pit of discon-
tent and faithless worry, Come; let,
us ,read OUT diaries, and see if there
be not `choice favors recorded there
for which we have rendered; no grate-
ful return:.;.
"Who fotgiveth all thine iniquities:"
—Henry Drummond calls attention to
the fact that in this and the follow-
ing verse "David has given us in a
nutshell the whole of the main facts
of sin." ;;`Iniquities" points to the
guilt of sin; "diseases points to the
strain of sin; destruction" shows us
the power of sin. Thus alas these
two verses give us the three facts of
salvation, forgiveness for our sins,
healing for oiu diseases, and ie-
demption from , the powerof sin.
When the 'soul becomes sensible of
its sins, its' chief and pressing need
is far God's forgiveness; and they
must ,all be forgiven, no least sin left`
to weigh down the repentant soul.
Forgiveness is the very first and rhe
chief 'ofall the ben%£its for which
we are to bless Jehovah. "Who heal-
eth all thy diseases."—Bodily diseas-
es, so far asis the best for us, the
Great ghysician is sure to 'heal; but,
spiritual sickness is the: main dis-
ease, and that He is sure to cure, if,
we ask Him, "God made thy body.
God made thy soul• He knoweth how
to re-create that which he 'created;
He knoweth how to , reform that
Which he formed. Only be thou still
under' the hands of the Physician,"
"Who redeemeth thy life from de-,
struction."- `Destruction' is in He-
brew 'the pie; it sip.nds for Sheol;
which is 'here pictured as claiming
the psalmist when he was on the
point of dying; but Jehovah quashed
the claim paid; . as it were, the ran-
som, and so brought him back to
life 'and health." "Who'' crowneth
thee with loving kindness and ten-
- der :mercies,"—"Crowneth".is. a meta-
phor drawn from the common cus-
tom of wearing " wreaths and gar-
lands on festive occasions (Eccluc.
32:2), Compare Ps. 8:5." "God makes
His •children kings, and weavestheir
crown out of His own glorious at-
tributes of loving kindness and ten-
der mercies."
"Who satisfieth thy ;desire with
good things." -"God satisfies the rea-
sonable desires of Isis servants, giv-
ing then `all things richly to enjoy'
(1 Tim. 6:17), and `satisfying the 'de-
sire of every living .thing' (Ps. 145:
16)." "So that thy youth is renew -
.like the' eagle.':' -"`They that wait
for Jehovah," ,says Isaiah (40:31)
"shall- renew their' strength; they
shall mount up with wings as eagles."
"There is no need to make the psalm-
ist responsible for the fables of the
eagle's renewal of its youth, The
comparison with the Monarch of the.
air does not refer to the process by
which the soul's wings are$'niade
strong; but to 'result in wings that
never ;tire, but bear their possessor
far up in the blue and towards the
throb e." '
PRAISE FOR C'OD'S FORGIVE-
NESS.
'rhe psalMist now widens• his
thought from himself to the nation
and to all mankind, The,pronoiuns
pass from the singular to theplural
as; the song enters into the univer-
sality, of thanksgiving,
"Jehovah ' executeth righteous acts,
and. judgments for all that are op-
pressecl, "Jtidgtnents"' here means
S
"vindtcations," restorations to the
place and happiness from which they
have been torn by the ;oppressor, Inc'
psalmist was living, in sad days, times
when: utirighteotts rulers and j:udgee
were most common, and when the
people of all lands were living under
tyrants. But throug'h.ont: the _ histr •
of God's people the Lord had raised
up deliverers for thein, _ and if thio
psalm was .wtitteti at or soon afiit
the return from the exile in Babylon-
ia, that signal "judgment", was ' r-
tainly uppermost its the psalmist's
mind. Jehovah' is She Judge of all
the earth. '
"I -1e tirade known His ways unto
Moses."—"Show rtn.e now thy ways,"
Was the prayer of Moses to Jeho-
vah in the wilderness (lx, "83:13),
and the Lord answered the prays i
with abundant acts :of guidance and
protection; ' "Make known" is in the
imperfect ' tense in the Hebrew,' in-
dicating repeated ana continued az-
tion, "Ilii ways" is not the ways in
which God' commands man to walk,'
but the ways in which. God walks,
and in which, to besure, we shall
walk as we follow Him; it is equiva-
lent to "his doings": "His doings un-
to the children of Israel:"—"When
He delivered ;His oppressed peopl
from Egypt, and subsequently from
all their enemies:' This thought .ap-
plies equally well 'to our country, fir
"next to ,the fugitives whom Moses
led out of Egypt, the little shipload
of .outcasts who landed at Plymouth
are destined to influence the future
of the world."
"Jehovah is 'mercifuland gracious:"
-This. verse is a quotation from t".e
wonderful divine name which the
Lord. gave to Moses, pxoclaimip,;:
"Jehovah, ` Jehovah, a God merciful
and gracious,. slow to anger, and
abundant in ovinglcindness and truth"
(Ex. 34:6). This verse in Exodus is
"the text, iso to say, of this psalm."
The Hebrew adjectives are intensive:
"very compassionate and very grac-
ious." "Slow' to anger, and abundant
in lovingkindness."—"Slow' to anger"
implies that God does get angry. The
wicked provoke Him , to righteous`
wrath, and in. time ottrsins may
rouse against us an anger. which can-
not bestayed; but that wrath is with-
held as long as possible by our lov-
ing Father.
"He will not always chide; neither
will He keep His anger for ever,".
"He is not implacable. He will ac-
cept repentance and amendment
(Ezek. 18:27). He will accept atone-
ment (1 John 2:2).'—Pulpit Com-
mentary. "When' His children turn
from their sins He soon turns from
His chiding's: He bears no grudges,
The Lord would not have His people
harbor resentments, and in His own
course of action He sets them a grand
example."
He bath not dealt with us after
our sins.'.—After the measures of
them, in accordance with our des:
serts. If 4 -le should thus deal with
us, He would never cease punishing
,us for He could always /ind enough'
sin in us to punish. "Nor rewardeth
us after our iniquities."—Requitted +is
for them, paid us for them. We owe
Hinz.: praise and gratitude; therefore,
even when His punishments fall
heaviest upon us; for we may be sure
that they are much lighter than strict
justice would require
tions on which the Lord ,promises to
become our Father;
"As far as the east is from the
west, so. far hath He removed q,t'
transgressions from us."—To the in
cients, "east "and west were the exc-
time points of known distance It
was in the temperate zone' of the.
northern. hemisphere that !history bee
gan and 'civilization spread; Accord
ingly the stretch of ancient geogra-
phy waswider between ;east and
west than between north and south,
and the ancient maps of the world
were oblong, At the utmost liia'it,
mountain .pillars upheld the world,
or the edge of its oval disc fell shier
into the waters of the nether` deep
upon which it floated, One can' r '
like the wonder and relief of such'. a
man as the writer, as. his conscience`
follows. his imagination across the
whole enormous breadth of the world.
There, after the mountains of the
dawn : or the sunset hardly break i he
skyline with . their faint and shadowy
ranges— there, over the edges of the
flat earth where all things end—there,
and no nearer, are his sins.
"Like as a father pitieth his child-
ren, so Jehovah pitieth them that
fear Him," ---``Father" was Christ's
word for. God; as it was the word of
this' psalmist and of the prophet
But in the Old Testament, as here,
where the thought occurs it is coupl
ed with fear; in the New Testamene
it is coupled with love, " 'His fear=
ers,' or Those fearing Him,' is a corn
mon description of the 'righteous,
God's people, who are more particu-
larly characterized in verse 182)
