LESSON VI
THE WORKS AND THE WORD
OF qOD—Psalm 19
.Golden Text -- "Let the words of
my mouth and the meditation of
My heart be acceptable in thy
sight, 0 Jehovah, my rock, and
my redeemer." Ps. 19;14.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time — Probably written early
in David's life, possibly 1050 B,C.
Place — This psalm oannot be
identified with any particular loca-
tion.
This psalm consists of two dis-
tinct parts, in which are contrast-
ed God's revelation of himself in
nature, and his revelation of him-
self in his word. It speaks first of
hips glory as seen in the heavens,
and then of his glory as manifested
in his law.
WITNESS OF CREATED
UNIVERSE
Of the witness of the heavens
five things are said: 1. the witness
is specific — the heavens do not
tell of God's will, grace, mercy, or
love; they declare instead his wis-
dom, power, glory and goodness.
2. The witness is also incessant —
in the heavens, the firmament, the
days, the nights. 3. The witness is
inaudible — the testimony breathed
out and poured forth is inarticulate.
4. The witness is universal — it is
through all, the earth, and to the
end of the world. 5. The witness is
glorious — the sun is represented
as a bridegroom, full of joy; and
as a runner full of strength.
Psalm 19:
1. The heavens declare the glory
cd: God;
And the firmament ehoweth
his handiwork.
2. Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night showebh
knowledge.
3. There Is no speech nor lang-
uage;
Their voice is not heard.
4. Their line is gone out through
all the earth,
And their words to the end of
the world.
In them has he set a 'taber-
nacle for the sun,
5. Which is as a bridegroom con-
ing out of his chamber,
And rejoiceth as a strong man
to run his course.
6. His going forth is from the
end of the heavens. And his circuit
unto the ends of it; And there is
nothing hid from the heat thereof.
The psalmist knew nothing about
solar spectra or stellar distances,
but he heard a voice from out of
the else' waste heavens which had
sounded to him as if it named God.
GOD'S WORD WITNESSED
The sinner now turns from God's
revelation of himself in nature to
his revelation of himself in his
written word. What the sun is in
the world of nature, that the law
is in the spiritual world: the one
quickens and cherishes the animal
life — nothing being hid from ite
heat; the other quickens and oher-
ishes the life of the soul.
7. The law of Jehovah is perfect,
restoring the soul:
The testimony of Jehovah is
sure, making wise the simple.
8. The precepts of Jehovah are
right, rejoicing the heart,
The commandment of Jehovah
is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9. The fear of Jehovah is clean,
enduring forever:
The ordinances of Jehovah are
true, and righteous altogether.
'Some notes of the preceding three
verses: "Law" tells of the divine
instruction relative to character
and conduct. "Testimony" tells of
the divine witness to what God is,
and should be. "Statute" tells of di-
vine directions designed to secure
obedience, or check disobedience.
"Commandment" tells of the divine
decrees, authoritative and imper-
ious. "Fear" tells of the settled
habit of the soul which is informed
by the Law. "Judgments" tell of
the judicial decisions and sentences
of Jehovah.
10. More to be desired are they
than gold, yea, than much fine gold,
Bible truth is enriching to the soul
in the highest degree. Sweeter also
than honey and the droppings of
the honeycomb. The allusion is to
honey that drops from the comb,
'which is therefore the purest. And
moreover by them is thy servant
warned. Through God's word man's
duty is made plain and the copse-
quen.ces plain. In keeping them
there is great reward.
A PRAYER
Through the first eleven verses of
this chapter, Cod has been speak-
ing to the psalmist; it is perfectly
natural, then, that after God has
thus graciously spoken to men, man
Should in return address Cied. The
Scriptures are God's word to us:
prayer is our word to God. The
psalmist's heart here goes out in
petition and thanksgiving to God.
12. Who can discern his errors? -And
clear thou me from hidden faults.
The psalmist frequently acknowled•
gea his known sins to God, and is
cleansed of them by God's grace;
but hero he asks that he might also
be attained and cleared front the
sins of whlrli he Is not. c:anscict s,

Paper Company Donates Plane
When a new Cub "65" training plane, the fastest of its type yet
produced in Canada, was donated by the Ontario Paper Co., of 'Thorold,
to the St Catharines Flying club, it boosted the ability of that club to
train student pilots for the Royal Canadian Air Force. The plane was
accepted by M. A. Seymour, KC., president of the Canadian Flying
Clubs' association, and holder of the McKee trophy for the most dis-
tinguished contribution to Canadian aviation in 1939, and Lloyd Snell,
president of the St. Catharines club, LEFT and RIGHT above. The
plane was presented by A. A. Sclunon, president and manager of the
company, CENTRE ABOVE. The presentation was watched by
young air force student pilots.

PATRIOTIC MUSIC EVIDENT
Dresses and hats are red, white
and blue — men sport their vet-
erans' buttons proudly in their
lapels, and concert orchestras in-
sert patriotic tunes in their pro-
grams — which invariably close
with the National Anthem that is
played around the world..
We've been noticing the
growth of this feeling, and it
set us to thinking just what it
meant. It is quite apparent that
it isn't just a case of waving the
flag, it went deeper — deeper in-
to the character of all Canadians.
Day by day, week by week, with-
out our really realizing it, into
the every -day life of Canada has
crept a spontaneous expression of
how sincere Canadians feel in
this struggle for christianity and
freedom.
It's a sound consciousness in
times like these.

And speaking of things patri-
otic -- don't miss the CBC pro-
gram "Britain Speaks," heard
each night at 11.15. In this voice
of Empire features, J. B. Priestley
and other outstanding men in our
great commonwealth of nations
report on the day's activities --
it is something everyone should

Let them not have dominion

Then shall I be upright,
And I shall be clear from
great transgression,
"Presumptuous" sins are sins
men commit in spite of their con-
sciences, perhaps at the height of
some emotional experience.

and the meditation of my
heart
Be arcepta.ble in thy sight,
0 Jehovah, my rock, and my

He beat loves the law of Jehovah
who lets it teaoh him his sin, and
send. him to his knees; he best ap-
preciates the glories of the silent
heavens who knowe that their wit-
ness to God is but the prelude of the
deeper music of the Sr:riptures' der
elaraition of the hoar and will of
Jehovah, and who grasps him as his
strength and his redeemer from all
evil, whether evil rrf sin er evil of
sorrow.

Saving Ontario's
Natural
Resources
By G. C. TONER
(No. 2)
About 150 years ago the first
settlement of this country began.
I3efore that time the primeval
forests were undisturbed, except
by the wandering tribes of native
Indians. Even to a modern observ-
er the land would have seemed
inexhaustibly rich in its natural
resources. We know from early
books and documents that game,
furbearers, birds and fish swarm-
ed in countless numbers. Yet, six
generations only have looted ajpd
spoilt a heritage that should have
been continually self -replenish-
ing.
Uncontrolled Exploitation
Let us look at the record.!
Sturgeon were native to all the
Great Lakes and to many of the
inland waters. In the early days
of the fisheries they were re- .
warded as a nuisance, the fisher-
men had no market for then.
Later, by 1870, they became sale-
able and in 1885, Lake Erie pro-
duced 4,500,000 pounds of stur-
geon for the markets, Here, as
elsewhere, over -exploitation took
place so that between the years
1930 and 1934 the average pro-
duction for this lake was 15,000
pounds. There was a decrease in
the catch of 99.2% in 45 years.
Sturgeon are commercially ex-
timet and it will take many years
to restore the fishery if it can
be done at all.
Salmon Spawned In Lake Ont.
Along the north shore of Lake
Ontario are a number of small,
rapid rivers. Ninety years ago the
Atlantic salmon, at certain times
of the year, ran into these creeks
and spawned on the gravel bars.
Farmers and townspeople caught
them by the wagon load while
they were on the spawning
grounds. Farms were paid for and
men got rich from the salmon of

Registration Machinery Under Way
As the machinery for national registration was thrown into h'gh
gear, a steady stream of trucks rode towards the Union station in Ot-
tawa. Mail bags, each containing 75 to 80 pounds of material, were
loaded into waiting express cars to be taken first to British Columbia
and to all provinces in order thereafter. Two huskies are shown here
loading a truck.
