THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY INTERNATIONAL LESSON, JUNE 20. -- Lesson XII.--A Prayer for the Tempted (Temperance Lesson). Psa. 141. G.T.--Psa: 141.9. I. The Cry to. God (Verses 1-4). Verse 1. I have called upon thee ~This is a frequent introduction to a psalm of complaint and desire for deliverance, 2, As incense before thee , . . as the evening sacrifice--These are ex- hes from the priestly ritual. psalmist knew what worship meant. He wanted his prayer and the lifting up of his hands to have all the authority and force of an appointed religious service. Incense was burnt every morning and evening (see Exod. 30. 7, 8), and sacrifice was made both in the morning and evening (Exod. 29. 39). The psalmist's prayer was to be continual, not an impulse to sporadic. bursts of supplication. And it was to be a tribute of honor and praise. As the road over whieh the king was to pass, accor- ding to Oriental custom, was scent- ed with sweet perfume, so the God of heaven was to be adored in the, presence of pleasant odors. 3. Set a watch--However much one might determine to bridle (or | muzzle, Psa. 39. 1) the mouth, there was still danger of sinning with the tongue. Only as God is the keeper, and sets a sentry to guard the lips, is the mouth of a man safe. 4. Incline not my heart. -- So | afraid is the psalmist of becoming as'much affected with the disease of an- angther's iniquity, that it seems as though he thought God might un- consciously ineline = him to. evil deeds. His prayer; however, is a. positive declaration that. he will not: let the sin of another contami- nate him, 1 'Chastoning by the Righteous (Versés 5-7). Let the righteous smite me-- | almist would rather be in sence of the righteous, nd chastise nce "of the | pet and cajo a t = of Absalom's revolt, who are sup- posed to have 'thrown. down the rooks by the people whom they migled. These latter, after having been deceived b the fake leaders, heard David's words as 'sweet morsels." 7. Our bones are scattered--See Psa. 53. 5. Similar expressions in the Psalter are used of the enemy, or of those who put themselves out of harmony with God. So here "our bones' evidently has refer- ence to the wicked. Their punish- ment comes so swift and sure that they themselves cry out, "Our bones are scattered," etc. They are of no more consequence than the clods which a plower leaves be- hind him in the furrow. III. The Eyes Fixed on Jehovah (Verses 8-10). 8-10. Verses five to seven are not as clear as verses one to four and eight to ten. "The stream [in verses five to seven] has been foaming among rocks in a gorge, but [in verses eight to ten] it has emerged into sunlight. and flows smoothly." In thee do I take refuge--The honest soul takes refuge in the Al- mighty; it is confident that harm will remain far off. The snares and 'gins which one sets for another are always sure to cause one's own undoing. The Psalms are full of such expressions, showing that the writers had dis- cerned a never-failing law of hu- man life.

This simply means that the farmer, in thinking about the comfort of his family, brings to the country home conveniences that have proved to be necessities in city homes. In the past too much attention has been paid to production. Country life needsor- ganization to get a square deal. Government officials have work- ed out a method whereby every ru- ral community may get "together looking toward practical co-opera- tion in business and social affairs. | It is suggested that five committees be appointed in every rural dis trict to deal with the 'business in- terest of the community--these communities to consist of one on farm production, one on 'market. ing, 'one on securing farm supplies, one on farm finance and account- ing and one on trasportation. Simi: larly, there should five commit- tees to attend to the communiby's social interests. These commit- tees to be on education, sanitation, recreation, beautification and household economics. With these 10 committees every i phase of rural life may be studied and looked after, It is not enough to increase the farmer's income. Rural life must be elevated and made co delightful that farm boys and girls will want to engage "in ite activities. The idea is, that through co-op- eration, eadh rural community should be organized by having every individual articulating. with the movement serving on one these committees, The work would include men, women and the young folks. arian Tins Worth Knowing. I find the following a quick and easy way in which to clean and polish furniture and paintwork. Put a tablespoonful of vinegar in a basin of hot, not too hot, water.
