Psalm 139.
• PRINTER TEXT, Pa, 139: 1.12,
23, 24
GOLDEN TEXT. --If a man
love me, he will keep my word:
and my Father will love him, and
we will conte unto him, and make
our abode with him, John 14: 23.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—We are net able to as-
certain when this psalm was
written, though its title makes
It to be a product of the time
of King David.
Place.—There is nothing in the
pslam to indicate at what place
it was first written.
In this lesson we have the op-
portunity of considering a sub-
ject which has almost fallen out
of modern thought, i.e. God's
perfect knowledge of all a man's
deeds, even of his inner life. No-
where are the great attributes of
God — his omniscience, his omni-
presence, his omnipotence — set
torth so strikingly as they are in
this magnificent psalm. Nowhere
is there a more overwhehnin;
sense of the fact that man is beset
and compassed about by God,
pervaded by his Spirit; and yet
nowhere is there a more emphat-
ie assertion of the personality
of man as distinct from, not ab-
sorbed in, the Deity. In this
psalm, the power of conscience,
the sense of sin and of respons-
ibility, axe felt and acknowledged,
and prayer is offered to One who is
not only the Judge, but the
Friend,
His Perfect Knowledge
The first section of the psalm
is a declaration and confession
on the part of the psalmist of
God's absolute omniscience, ack-
nowledging that God knows all
things including the psalmists's
own life and thoughts and deeds.
1. 0 Jehovah, thou has searched
me, and known me. 2. Thou know -
est my downsitting and mine up-
rising; Thou understandest my
thought afar off. 3. Thou search -
est out my path and my lying
down, And art acquainted with
all my ways. 4. For there is not
a word in my tongue, But lo, 0
Jehovah, thou knowest it altogeth-
er. 5. Thou hast beset me behind
and before, And laid thy hand
upon me.
Jehovah knows every individ-
ual thoroughly; knows, with first-
hand knowledge, as the result
of personal search and tracing
and testing. The hand suggests
the sweet sense of companion -
.ship; the ministry of soothing;
and the ministry of guidance.
8. Such knowledge is too wonder -
fel for me; It is high, I cannot
attain unto it. Our mind has no
line with which to measure the
Infinite. Do we therefore ques-
tion? Say, rather, that we there-
fore believe and adore.
His Omnipresence
As man's thoughts can never
be hidden from God, • who knows
all things, so now the psalmist
declares that man cannot hide him-
self from God, no matter in which
direction he might flee, for God
is everywhere present in the
world.
7. Whither shall I go from thy
Spirit? Or whither shall I flee
from thy presence? 8. If I ascend
up into heaven, thou art there:
If I make my bed in Sheol, be.
hold, thou art there. 9. If I take
the wings of the morning, And
dwell in the uttermost parts of
the sea; 10. Even there shall thy
hand lead me, And thy right hand
shall hold me. 11. If I say, Surely
the darkness shall overwhelm me,
And the light about me shall be
night; 12. Even the darkness
hideth not from thee, But the
night shineth as the day: The
darkness and the light are both
alike to thee.
Abhorrence of Wickedness
In the 19th verse the psalmist
switches abruptly from contem-
plation of the divine to express
a hope that righteous vengeance
will 'overtake the wicked. Yet the
psalmist does not think of him-
self as incapable of sinning in his
own life -- he is suddenly oves-
whelmed with a new longing to
be utterly clean from any pos-
sible sin in his own inner life.
And thus he brings his marael-
lous confession of God's omni-
science and omnipresence to a
close, with a personal prayer that
God would make his own life
what it ought to be in the light
of these truths. 23. Search me,
O God, and know niy heart: Try
me, and know my thoughts. 24.
And see if there be any wicked
way in me, And lead me in the
way everlasting. The psalmist
felt that what he wanted was a
.-, guide, who would take him by
the hand, and hold him up whee
he was ready to fall, along the
tugged journey of life, or on the
brink of e, dangerous pt'eeipiee.

Confucius Was Born

China, on August 27 commem-

the birth of Confucius, venerated
for centuries as the "perfect sage
of 10,000 generations."
Traditional ceremonies at the
birthplace at Chufu, In Shantung

Chufu is in Japanese hands and.
the Chungking temple was smash-

VISIT FROM THE KING
Daring a recent visit to the
Overseas Division of the British
Broadcasting Corporation, the King
and Queen spent some minutes
chatting with Gerald Wilmot and
Gerard Arthur, Canadian announc-
ers who are now in England with
the Overseas Unit of the CBC.
The King recalled that he had
first discovered Mr. W it m o t
through hearing his voice from a
bush where lie lay concealed while
giving a commentary for Canadian
listeners on a visit by His Majesty
to Canadian Forces in an English
camp.
Their Majesties met many re-
presentatives of the British Dom-
inions and Colonies, and watched
the preparation oaf news bulletins
and 'programs in many foreign
languages, as well as English.
NOTES AND NEWS
Edward G. Robinson has return-
ed to Hollywood from Pebble
Beach where he spent a two weeks'
vacation, and he is now working

When Gwynne Evans, president
of the Evans Coffee Company in

Spiders Possess
Huge Appetites
Consume Equivalent of gn-
tire Fat Ox for Breakfast,
Judging by Hunan stand-
ards
The spider is one of the most sue-
cessful animals in the struggle for
existence. It has adapted itself to
life under almost every condition,
in all lotitucies and in all tempera-
tures,
Spiders vary very teach In size,
from the tiny garden spider to a
South American form that preys on
liminaleg birds.
It is hard to account for the fear
so many people have of spiders.
They are valuable animals which
do a lot of good. All degrees of de-
eelapment can be found amongst
spiders, from the hunting variety
to the 'wveb•spinning garden spider,
which snares a plentiful supply of
food with its beautiful geometric
web. An insect destroyer; the spid-
er demands respect. Its appetite is
insatiable.
COULD BE COMMERCIALIZED
A well-known scientist has stated
that a man, eating at the same rate
as a spider, would require a "whole
fat ox for breakfast, an ox and five
sheep for dinner, two bullocks, and
eight sheep and four hags for sup-
per, and just before retiriug nearly
four barrels of fresh fish."
The question of food has so far
prevented much use of the spider's
s 11 k for commercial purposes.
Gloves have been made, and are
said to be mare durable than those
made of silk spun by the silk -worm;
but the feeding is a serious itenn.

Practical Asset —
A Root Cellar
As in Eastern Canada from
early pioneer days, the root cel-
lar in the Prairie Provinces has
proved one of the most practical
means of preserving and storing
farm vegetable crops. Among the
many methods in use, the root
cellar has the advantage of low
cost and simplicity of construc-
tion. Old lumber and materials
on hand may be utilized where -
ever possible. To show how
a substantial root cellar may be
made, the Agricultural Engin-
eering Division of 'the Dominion
Experimental Station at Swift
Curren t, Saskatchewan, has
drawn up simple and effective
plans for the construction of a
root cellar, which are given in a
recently issued Farmers' Bulletin
entitled "A Practical Farm Root
Cellar." It can be obtained by
writing to Publicity and Exten-
sion Division, Dominion Depart-
znent of Agriculture, Ottawa.
Ideal Location
Important factors upon which
the measure of success of storing
vegetables depends are the loca-
tion of the cellar, temperature,
humidity, and ventilation. The
ideal location for a root cellar
is on the side of a hill. This will
ensure proper drainage away
from the celiac and prevent water
from accumulating during run-
off periods. By having a south en-
trance, sunshine and air may be
admitted which will help to keep
the vegetables in .a dry condition.
Vegetables, especially potatoes,
should not be exposed to very
much light as it tends to spoil
them for table use.
Best Temperature
The best temperature for .the
storage of vegetables is between
35 and 40 degrees F. However,
in the case of potatoes better
storage is obtained when the tem-
perature is kept around 60 de-
grees for the first two weeks. At
such temperature, tissue injury
that may have occurred at har-
vesting will heal more rapidly.
production of crude petroleum
in Canada was increased in April
to 634,869 barrels, as compared
with 570,131 barrels in March,
and 559,368 in April 1939. Out-
put during the four months end-
ed April totalled 2,347,445, as
compared with 1,835,983 in the
same period of 1939.
