David: Triumphant Faith—Psalms
23 and 27
Printed Text, Psalms 23 and 27 1-6
Golden Text—'"Jehovah is my shep-
herd, I shall not want. Psalm 23-1
TII,E LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time — David lived between the
years 1085 B.C. and 1015 B.C, And
Psalm 23 was probably written in
his earlier days while Psalm 27
may have been writeen in his mat
urer years.
Place — There is no indication
in either of these psalms where
they were written. •
This is the pearl of the psalms,
the simplest, sweetest song that
was ever sung. Notice in the Twen-
ty-third Psalm how distinctly per-
sonal it is, almost exclusively oc-
cupied with the author's commun-
ion with God and God's goodness
to the author. That the author was
David almost all will agree. He
himself was called "the sweet
psalmist of Israel."
1. Jehovah is my shepherd. Da-
vid himself was a shepherd (2 Sam.
5:2; 7:7) and the king of whom
David was a type, Israel's final
king, was symbolized as a shepherd
(Mic. 5:4; Ezek. 34:23). Our own
blessed Lord is spoken of as the
shepherd of his sheep (John 10:11;
Heb. 13:20; 1 Pet. 2:25). A shep-
herd leads his sheep out to past-
ure, for he knows where the past-
ure is; a shepherd protects his
sheep; a shepherd lives for the
welfare of the sheep, and they are
on his heart day and night.
The Lord- Is My Shepherd
2. He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures. The figure of the
shepherd is now expanded, and we
find him taking care that the sheep
have a place where they can also
stretch out their weary limbs in
peaceful repose.
Ile leadeth me beside still wat-
ers. Literally, this should read as
"waters of rest."
3. He restoreth my soul. If the
body needs rest for restoration, so
thes oul needs the rest for restora-
tion, so the soul needs rest to have
restored to it its strength and vig-
our and hopefulness. The Lord
restores our souls, by leading our
souls to feed upon the word of our
God, and by drinking deeply of the
new lite which we have in Christ
through the Holy Spirit. He guid-
eth hie in the paths of righteous-
ness for his name's sake. By the
phrase "for his name's sake" De -
yid would inform us that our walk
in the path of God's leading, which
results in righeous living and also
righeoits acts, Is all for the sake
and glory and honor of God.
Protection and Comfort
4. Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, 1
avill fear no evil; for thou art with
zee; thy rod end thy staff, they
comfort me. Cf. Jer. 2:6. The fig-
ure of the shepherd is still contin-
ued. The Psalmist knows God to
bo continually at his side, and not
far ahead or far in the rear, so that,
however dark the valley, he has no
tear of evil that might be lurking
in the shadows round about.
5. Thou preparest a table before
mo in the presence of mine enem-
ies; thou hast anointed my head
with oil; my cup runneth over.
This is the conation of God's ser-
vant — always conflict — but al-
ways a spread table. There is no
need which a Christian has in
Christ but Christ can abundantly
surly it.
6. Surely goodness and loving -
kindness shall follow me all the
days of my life; and I shall dwell
in the house of Jehovah for ever.
Not only has the past been a con-
stant manifestation of God's good-
ness, and the present one of pro-
tection and abundance, but the ul-
timate end will be that the Psalm-
ist will be brought into the very
dwelling -place of God to abide un-
til death overtakes him. •
1. Jehovah is my light and my
salvation; whom shall I fear? 'Je-
hovahis the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid? By ac-
knowledging God as his light and
his salvation David finds strength
for every need,
2, When evil -doers came upon the
to eat up my flesh, even mine ad-
versaries and try foes, they stumb-
Latest Hair Style Like Mother Wore It!
An interesting comparison between the old and new at the hair-
dressers' show in Detroit, demonstrating that the new owes quite a
lot to the old. Shown here are two views of the most modern coiffure
and the old style of hairdress from .which it was developed. At LEFT
(Top) Nina Albright Noble has her hair done in the style of a decade
or two gone by; at RIGHT, Miss Lee Cahill's blonde locks are done in
the new version of the old theme. BELOW are side views of the same
coiffure. Miss Noble's hair is gray; Miss Cahill's a golden blonde.
Yolkless Eggs
Said Cnnmon
Poultryman at Dominion Expe-
rimental Farm, Harrow, De-
clares They Are Not Rareties
Is an egg without a yolk an egg?
asks the Windsor Daily Star. Peter
Soteros, Chatham street retaura-
teur, who found a yolkless egg, be-
lieves that a person buying a dozen
eggs which have no yolks would be
a dozen eggs short. And he says
that he wouldn't serve any of his
customers such an egg for break-
fast.
Ray Uro, of Sandwich South
township, who supplies Peter with
eggs, will go only so far as saying
that an egg without a yolk is not a
complete egg. They're quite rare,
he believes, and are an indication
that the hen which laid such an
egg won't be "egged on" to further
production. "They're mostly laid
by old hens which have completed
their laying cycle, I believe," he
told The Star.
led and fell. 3. Though a host shall
encamp against me, my heart shall
not fear; though war should rise
against me, even then will I be con-
fident. '
4. One thing I asked of Jehovah
that will I seek atfer; that I may
dwell in the house of Jehovah all
the days of my life, to behold the
beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire
in his temple.
"Temple" here, as is evident from
what follows, is applied to the ta-
bernacle. The word "beauty" here
refers to "not merely the outward
beauty of the sanctuary and its
worship, but the gracious kindli-
ness of Jehovah to his guests. The
word here translated "inquire" just
means "to consider," "to investi-
gate," "to ask questions."
Confidence of Victory
5. For in the day of trouble he
will keep me secretly in his pav-
ilion, in the covert of his tabernacle
will he hide me; he will lift me up
upon rock. When we talk to the
Lord we forget the noise, the con-
flict, the misunderstandings and the
sufferings, for we are at peace in
his presence. This Peace nothing
can take away.
6. And now shall my head be lift-
ed up above mine enemies round
about me; and I will offer in his
tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will
sing, yea, I will sing praises unto
Jehovah. David is absolutely con-
fident of victory, no matter how
great the battle is against him.
This has happened again and
again in history. Think of Wycliffe
and Tyndale, Joan of Arc, John
Bunyan and Ilugh Latimer. The
greatest example of them all is, of
course, the Lord Jesus Christ.
But Walter Mountain, poultry-
man at the Dominion Experimental
Station at Harrow says that eggs
without yolks are fairly common.
"They're laid by old birds mostly.
Part of the spongelike egg -produc-
ing organs are detached in some
manner and irritate the glands
which produce the whites of eggs..
The hen hurriedly gets rid of the
irritant by putting a white" and a
shell around it," he explained, prov-
ing that a hen won't stand for a
monkey wrench in her egg produc-
ing mechanism.
Hangs Out Vest,
Finds Nest -Egg
Mr. Henry Austin, of Romsey,
Eng., hung his vest out in the gar-
den for an airing the other day.
Returning a few days later to take
in the vest, he found that two tom-
tits had made a nest in one of the.
'pockets, and Mrs. Tom Was there,,
busily hatching out three eggs.
This certainly is an indication
of the acute housing shortage ex-
isting in the Old Land at the pres-
ent time. And Mr. Austin should
consider himself lucky.. It isn't:
every man who can wake up to
find a "nest -egg" in his vest pock -
et.
New Flower
Grown Unlike
Any Other
Accidental Crossing of Dahlia
and Scabious Develops
Striking Blossom
Yorkshire, England, has develop-
ed a flower unlike any other in the
world. It is an accidental cross
between a dahlia and a scabious
and has the characteristics of both.
It was first seen three years ago
in Mr, Frank Atkinson's garden at
Pately Bridge, and since then the
blooms have increased in size and
Splendour t111 now this new flower
is singularly fine,
It is very large and has bright
red petals surrounding a centre of
tightly packed miniature trumpets
with yellow stamens. It grows
about 18 inches high. About 100
plants have been reared from the
original freak flower,
England May Fly
Coal From Pole
Britisher Forecasts Transport of
Fuel from South Pole by Air
To Fireplaces of Old, Land
British flyers envision a not too
distant day when coal will be min-
ed near the South Pole and shipped
to Britain and other countries by
huge transport planes.
Most recent forecaster of such a
day was Harold I. June, pilot to Ad-
miral Byrd on two Antarctic expe-
ditious, whom London newspapers
interviewed on the eve of his de-
parture from Southampton for
South Africa, where he is to join
Admiral Byrd once more, and ex-
pects to pilot a 1940 Byrd expedi-
tion to the South Pole.
Mr. June said that on the last
Byrd expedition they discovered, 30
miles from the South Pole, a range
of mountains in which could clear-
ly be discerned huge veins of coal
running into the sandstone. He es-
timated that the amount of coal in
that one range alone would be suf-
ficient to maintain most of Eng-
land's homes and factories for
years.
When transportation improves,
said Mr. June, and he doubted
whether that would be long hence,
he expected that huge machines
would be developed. Miners would
probably be sent down from the
coal mines of Western England and
from Wales and coal woiuld be
"trucked" to the world markets by
giant air freighters.
"Trucked" By Air Freighters
Asked about working conditions
he doubted whether miners would
fist, it, harder working coal in the
South Pole regions then they do in
the mines of Siberia. In Siberia,
too, the cold is intense.
