The Joy of Forgiveness. --Pea. 3z; r- r.
Commentary, -L Confession and for
giveness (vs. 1.5). 1, 2, Blessed - "In the
Hebrew this woad is plural and an ex -
demotion, thus, "Oh, the blessednesses!"
Only a forgiven man can know the de-
lights of pardon." Transgression, etc, --
Sin is described, as in Exod. 34, 7, in
three different aspects, as transgression,
ein, iniquity; rile Hebrew words thus
rendered paean respectively, (1) defection
from God or rebellion against Him; (2)
error, wandering dram the right way, miss-
ing the mask in life; (3) the perveseion
of right, depra.vity of conduct. -Cam. Bib.
Forgiven -Lifted of so that the par-
doned sinner is eased of a burden and
enjoys pardon Is covered --Sin makes us
loathsome, filthy, and abominable in
the sight of God, and utterly unfit for
communion with Him. When it is par-
doned it is covered from justice by di-
vine merey,Benson. Imputeth-Charg-
eth not to his ,account; "does not require
for sins the debt of punishment," but
pexdons them: No guile -No deceit, no.
false estimate of himself, nor insincerity
before God. -J., F. & B. The motives
and aims of the human nature, the sub-
tle roots of sin, the deceitfulness as well
as the desperate wickedness of the heart
that make it 'Mind to its own depravity
and leave it to irretrievable loss. -Simp-
son. Sin is the only cause of misery, and
forgiveness is the beginning of a sin-
ner's happiness.
3. When I kept silence -Before I bum-
bled myself and confessed my sin. It
seems that David, before Nathan came
to him, had often been exceedingly tor-
tured in hie conscience on account of the
crimes he had committed (II. Swam. 11,
27; 12, 1, 6), yet reluctance to humble
himself before God, or to be considered
a criminal by men, led him to keep si-
lenee.-Scott. My bones waxed old -
"My spirits failed and the strength of
my body decayed." ]].oaring-,aloaning
or groaning because of the continual hor-
rors of conscience and the sense of God's
wrath. This shows the depth of his re-
pentance.
4. Thy hand --God's .•.correcting hand,
whereby He scourgeth His children,
bringing a remembranee of guilt. My
moisture is turned -There is a spiritual
drought when the soul is in anguish in-
stead of refreshing seasons from the
presence of the Lord. David lived in a
country where parching heats and satu-
rating moisture alternate, and -the val-
leys, sometimes green and fruitful and
fragrant, were at other times desolate
and parched, It is quite possible teat
sin in David's case, as in so many others,
brought phyeieal illness as a result, Se
lah-This is used in Hebrew poetry and
music to indicate apause; to emphasise
the truth and express a devout response
of the heart unto God. It nndtcaleu also
that at that point the writs:- had been
inspired and taught some new lesson.
It sometimes indicates a change in the
subject.
5. I acknowledged.. thou • forgaveet-It
was after mueh anguish and struggling
that David was brought to confession,
but his reward was abundant, for mercy
was extended. He Siad covered his sin
unsuccessfully, yet when. he uncovered
it God covered it effectually. Where be-
fore he had felt hardness of heart and
distress of soul he now felt forgiveness
of lids sins and the mercy of the Load
extended. Although God forgave, many
of the consequences of his sin still fol-
lowed him. "Repentance could not ward
off the bitter 'trouble to come from his
polygamous household in the death by
the. sword of his two grown-up sons; it
could not preserve Baathsheba's child
alive; nor bring back Uriah from the
dead; could not keep some from blas-
pheming God down to the latent ages
(2 Sam. 12, 14) ."
IL Confidence in God (vs. 6-11). 6. For
this -Because the Lord had so graciously
answered his prayer, every one that
was godly should be encouraged to pray.
In a time -Compare Isa. 55. 6; Dent. 4.
29. "Because Jehovah has proved Him-
self so ready to hear even the sinner, the
pious are urged to cry to Him before
sudden flood of temptatien has made
thern lose His presence; so shall. the
greet waters in which the psalmist sank
be prevented from ,,ever reaching
them." -Moulton Mayeet be found -
Literally, "the time of finding;" it
may just ata readily refer to the find -
in • of forgiveness as to the finding of
Jehovah. -Hurlbut, Great waters -Vio-
lent trials; af#lictione and temptations
shall not overcome the soul who prays
acceptably and trusts implicitly; but
the sinner who persists ininiquity sural]
certainly. be swept away by the floods
of divine juclgmment, and so forever perish.
7. Hiding place -City of refuge, pro-
tection against enemies. Preserve me-
Kcep me from being overeome, Compass
me -Surround me as with a wall; en-
close me within. Songs of deliverance -
The free spirit, poured. forth songs of
praise and thanksgiving on ' all owes -
lens, thus admitting no place for evil
words or thoughts, A constant remem-
brance of pardon bestowed was a. protec-
tion against further sin. 8. Instruct thee
-LA gracious promise given to a. hum-
ble, pardoned soul, securing his develop-
ment in the ways of righteousness, God
Himself being teacher. I will guide-Ex-
erelse the most we-eclnfttl, necurato and
personal care. Seeing every need, be-
ing alio familiar with every disposition,
that notching shall escape due attention.
ale R. V. eluanges the word "guide" to
"counsel." "The idea is that of one w710
is telling another what way he is to
take in order that he may reach a ter.
fain place; and he says be will wakteh
hinnor keep an eye upon him; he will
not lit; hint go wrong,'-•13arnos. "ibis
verse and the next are generally under
stand as being spoken to the psalmist
by Jehovah.
9, As the horse, eta. ----Do not be stub-
born or headstrong like the horse or
mule, A different class ie here address -
ea, that cannot be trusted upon the:
ground of reason or moral obligation,
but must be governed by force, int and
bridle--=Thet is, by harshand forcible
means. Our reason and wisdom aught
to do for us what the bit does for the
mule, Else they will not come.near R.
V. -Without bit and bridle the animals
referred to will not stay within reaele
"If man will not draw near to God and
obey hini of his own free will, he lowers
himself to the level of a brute (Isa. 1;
3), and must expect to be treated ac-
cordingly.and disciplined by the judg-
ments of God" (Isa, 26; 9-11.)--Oatu.
Bib. Let us ant like reasonable men and
not like .dumb animals.
10. Many sorrows, etc, -,Sin and misery
go together. Those who are iesubordln-
ate God will curb and chasten by afflic-
tion, both to humble them and to show
them his power. Mercy shall compass -
He shall be surrounded with mercy, as
one is .surrounded by the air or by the
sunlight. He shall find mercy and favor
everywhere -at home, abroad; by day,
by night; in society, in solitude; in siek-
ness, in health; in life, in death; in tinie,
in eternity. ale shall walk amid mer-
cies; he shall die amid mercies; he shall
live in a better world in the midst of
eternal meroies.Barnes, 11. Be glad..
rejoice.. shout -How wonderful that
such exatltation may follow such iniquity
and remorse!
I. Confession. "I asknowledge my sin"
(v. 5.) David's confession was as public
as his transgression. This psalm was
written for use in the congregations of
Israel. David sinned before the nation,
and his confession was given to the na-
tion and to the world. If your sin is
known only to God confess it to him.
If you have wronged others let them
know your penitenee and obtain their
pardon. "A little way out of Dayton,
Ohio, a young man met an old gentle-
man one day and asked, 'How far is it
to Dayton?' 'Twenty-five thousand
miles,' was the answer, 'if you keep on
as you are going now, and a quarter of
a mile if you turn square around.'"
II. Divine protection. "Thou are my
hiding place" (v. 7). When we will not
hide in sin we may hide in God. As the
pursued man -slayer found safety in the
city of refuge, and the forgiven child
flees to the father's arms, so the for-
given sinner is held close to the Fath-
er's heart and ceeesav, "Surely" (v. 6),
"Thou forgevest my sin -Thou are my
hiding place..., 'Thou shalt preserve me
..Thou shalt compass me" (vs. 5-7);
Gal. 2:20). "Thou shalt preserve me
from trouble" (v, 7). The "godly" man
(v. 6) is never in trouble as other men
are. For him there is either deliverance
from trouble (Luke 4:30), or deliver-
ance in trouble (Acts 16:26; Dan. 6:22).
He is either save from trouble (Acts
12:9), or victorious in trouble (Josh.
10:12-14).
III. Divine guidance. "I will guide
thee with mine eye" (v. 8) . Israel in
the wilderness was always under the
guidance of the cloud. "At the com-
mandment of the Lord they rested in
the tents, and at the commandment of
the Lord they journeyed" (Num. 9:18-
23), When the tabernacle was building,
the minute directions were given even
about "hooks" and "pins" (Exod, 27:10-
19). When Jericho was to be taken
God told them how (Josh. 6:2-5). David
was victorious when he "enquired of
the Lord" (2 Sam. 2:1; 5:17). When
Jesus sent out his disciples he gave
than minute directions (Matt. 10:1-38).
He promised when he went away, "The
Spirit. ...will guide you into all truth"
(John 16:13). We have a record of the
fulfilment of the ilromise to the disci-
ples at Pentecost (Acts 2:4) ; to Philip
(Acts 8:29); Peter (Acts 10:19); Aga -
bus (Acts 11:28; 21:11); Paul and Silas
(Acts 16:7, last five words); and the
disciples of Tyre (Acts 21:4). With
God's word in our hands and God's Spir-
it in our hearts and the light of the
knowledge of his glory shining upon us
in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 4:6),
we ought not to need to be "held in
with bit and bridle" (v. 9), the restrain-
ing or chastening hand of Providence.
A young lady, whenever she rose to
give a testimony, felt pressed to sing.
She thought it was the Holy Spirit, but
was not sure. She went to her pastor.
He said, "If you get such whims into
your head you will run into a snag."
She decided, "I will not sing." For years
she wandered in darkness. Her spirit
of song was gone. One Sunday evening,
after the service, a stranger arose and
sang: "I have a never -failing bank," etc.
The young girl trembled. They were the
words given to her years ago when she
said: "I will not sing! No one else
sings!" On her way home the stranger
overtook her and began telling his ex-
perience. How he was a colporter in
New York City, and passing one day a
home where there was a funeral was
bidden by the Spirit to enter, He went
in and sat down on the stairs. After
the sermon the minister turned to him
and said, "Have you not a word for
these sorrowing friends?" He arose
bewildered, but the Spirit said, "Sing."
He sang, "'Tis So Sweet to Have a
Hoare in Heaven." When the last verse
was sung he went on his way. Seven
years afterward, at a. camp meeting love
feast, he heard a young man give the
following testirnony: "Seven years ago I
was called to part with a bosom friend.
He was taken suddenly with diphtheria.
I had a telegram to go to New' York to
attend his funeral. In that hoose of
mourning there came a stranger, No
one knew who he was or why he was
there. The preacher said to hint: 'Have
you no word for these mourning friends?'
He arose and sang, "Tis So Sweet to
Have a Home in Heaven' I've hunted
everywhere to find the song. The singer
I shall never see, But I did want the
song, and i wanted to te11 him that
little song saved inc, 'and to -day I stand
on the walls of Zion preaching a full
salvation," H'er'e he broke down and
sobbed aloud, Their the rolporter arose
directly bellied hint and sang, "'Tis So
Sweet to Have a Home in Heaven." Ile
had not sung one verse when this young
man liad bis arras around his neck,
shouting: "Oh, hallelujah! Praise the
Lord! I've found him." Waving his
hand to the ministers, he said: "help
me to praise the Lord!" And then a
mighty shout went up all over the en-
campment, and not a (cry eye could be
seen. As the colporter stopped telling
this young girl his experience, he added,
"See that no man take thy crown. Sing
eaten God says so." When God guides
us it is, 1. "The right way" (Pea, 107:
7). His Spirit and His word agree (Isa,
8: 20). 2. The safe way (Prov. 18: 10).
Guided, by Flint we shall not stumble

Lauterbach.
"Yes," answered Mira hopper, smil-

"Well, there was no consideration
other than my engagement to marry
Mr, Brown."
"That is sufficient, ander the Federal
statutes," said Mr, Lauterbach.
" Then turning to counsel for the re-
ceiver, he continued:
"Do yon make a demand for the
ring? Because. if you do, we refuge to
secede to the demands of the receiver"
"Yes; certainly we will refuse;" said
Miss Hopper, firmly, "you don't get
that ring."
"Don't want it," exclaimed counsel
for the receiver tersely.
Mise hopper formally declined to
give up either the automobile or the
insurance policy.
She also testified to having received
a gift of money from Mr. Brown af-
ter returning from an automobile tour
which she took alone. The money was
"just a gift, to do with as I pleased."

NINE Aa RESTS.
Theft of a Hundred Horses and
Wagons In New York.
CIever Capture of Gang of Alleged
Robbers.
New York, Oct. 10, ---•By the arrest of
nine men, who were arraigned in court
to -day, the pollee believe they have,
solved the mystery of the disappearance
of 100 delivery wagons and horses and
merehandise valued at $140,000 in this
city in the last few months. Twelve of
the stolen rigs, all re -painted, were
found in a stable at Central avenue,
Brooklyn.
The robberies are estimated to have
netted the gang $100,000, inasmuch as
nearly every one of the wagons was
taken while delivering goods, and many
were loaded with wines and valuable
merchandise.
The arrests were made by a policeman
whose suspicions were• aroused when he
saw the two Italians in a wagon bearing
the name of a New York grocer. lie
halted the risen and questioned theist.
They said they worked for the owner.
They could not tell the owner's name,
and they were arrested. The other wa-
gons were found a short time later.
They had been re -painted, but by the
use of an ammonia solution the new
paint was washed off and the names and
addresses of their owners were disclos-
ed to view.
