Contemplate, for a moment the pre jon of thirsty hearts that have been refreshed at the fountain of He- brew psalmody I'he picture thrills There are the captive exiles in chains Land of Canaan; some of and their children, returned to the land of Abraham, marching to the music of the Psalms I'hese were the songs of ascent to Jerusalem upon the occasion of the yearly feasts. The hunted Christians of the apostolic age voiced, their inextinguishable faith by the same old melodies... The Crusad- ers, the Puritans, and a countless com- pany of kindred high souls, have been heartened by the inspired and inspir- ing Hebrew songs. Kings and states- men and men of large affairs have turned for comfort and sustenance to these melodies from royal pens Ar- menians, deported to death, have quaffed the vomfort of these lines The aspiring youth, the burdened man arid woman, the grief-stricken, the doubting, the fearful and dying, in in numerable hosts, have turned first to this never-failing spring of suste- David's share of the Psalms are greater work than slaying Goliath, or smiting the Philistines or ruling a kingdom And of the other writers, some of them unknown, we can only rejoice that there have been men who have spoken from the depths and the heights, and that their heart-cries have lived In the wine-press of intense experiences, their souls have given forth the wine of comfort to an un- counted company. Similarly, Mathe- son's rejection because of his blind- ness by the woman he loved has been ylessed to millions in his hymn, "O, Love that Will Not Let Me Go." Sam- uel Rutherford"s imprisonment at Aberdeen bore fruit in his "Letters," and from these Mrs. Anne Cousins extracted the phrases which she wove into the exquisite hymn, "The Sands of Time Are Sinking." When Heart Speaks to Heart. As we consider the Psalms and this particular .one in which the souls of returned exiles found utterance, the query is forced upon us, "Where are the great soul songs for to-day?" Trivial verses we have a-plenty; eso- teric, neurasthenic. nebulous musings in thyme, burden the mail of editors; but where are thé songs that vocalize the deep sentiments of the people? The woman suffragists of New York once offered a prize for a "hymn" and al Ithey got was twaddle. Variofis publications and organizations are of- fering substantial sums for a new American national anthem, but in vain There seem to be no ringing English words to express the stirred emotions of men in a mags.

Thus we have the Psalms of deliv- erance. Westerners might have talk- ed of good luck, or boasted of their own merits, but these exilgs from Babylon thought first and only of God. Their instinctive cry, as one of their singers phrases it, was: 'When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them-that dream, Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them. Jehovah hath done great things for us: Whereof we are glad." These Jews clearly traced, as cause and effect; the favor of Jehovah, with the forgiveness of sin, and their deliv- erance from exile. "Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. people; Thou hast covered all their sin." This is the essence of the lesson's teaching It is the heart of hearts of the five fooks of Psams: the favor of Jehovah is the one supreme blessing ot ite, "Our midnight is thy smile with- drawn, noont/de gracious dawn." Our is thy Get a grip on the fact of God and life becomes no more a mystery. "Our times are in His hand." ' There is no higher philosophy than the twenty- third Psalm. Why National Hymns are Reverent. Why is it that really national hymns are such as may be sung in religious services? Because they rise to the plane of patriotism which rec- ognizes God They have touched the deeps of thie hearts of nations be- cause they respond to the instinctive boon from on high; that exalted thoughts of patriotism are associated with thoughts of God. All sublime emntious are reverent.

Dr. Bruce Montreal, the new principal Queen's University, Kingston, at a Presbyterian Church, Toronto, Tues- day night. an illustration of the 'profane but superb" faith of the soldiers who laugh in the face of death. Dr. Taylor was chaplain of the 42nd Battalion and served for year at the front. Speaking of the effect of the war on religion, Dr. Taylor said: "Of course there is going to be a change in our religious thinking. There no such thing as orthodoxy; the church is always learning from its heresies," said Dr. Taylor. "What field going to have on our thinking in regard to the sacrifice of our Lord? We cannot 1ift ourselves higher than we are. We believe Christ died for us, but we have rest- ed there; we have been tempted to sit back on this assurance. We have been too easy in our current evan. gelical belief. We need to delocalize Calvary. The Cross is something that everyone of us has to literalize for himself. The church has to re- cognize this sacrifice, made by many men who are alienated from the church and trities of its work, yet wha have the spirit of Christ. If the old doctrine is not broad enough to get these men into it, then so much the worse for the doctrine. I dom't know how they are going to fit into our theology, perhaps they won't fit in.

The Canadian business man is asking this questios: often, now that the Military Service Aa is the law of Canada. A simple means of answering it at once is being provided. Medical Boards are in process of formation throughoui the country for the free physical examination of all men who apply. The firit class liable to call includes all single men and widowers without children between the ages of 20 and 34 inclusive, all men married after July 6, 1917, being classed as single for the purposes of the Act. . In a very short time, the average employer may learn how many of his staff are liable for selection. Those adjudged physically unfit will be given a certificate which will secure them exemption from any Exemption Tribunal. Those found physically fit may still apply for exemption on any ground. The employer will be given a chance to decide iif he should seek exemption for any employee whose physical condition renders him liable for selection. This early medical examination, which quickly decides if a man is liable for sele@ion or not, is a feature of the operation of the Military Service Act calculated to appeal strongly to the business community. It assists in definite planning for the future, enabling an employer of labor to learn at once what men will be left at their work and those who may be removed for military service. Haphazard withdrawals, the nightmare of business men of method and Every employer of labor will find it to his advantage to note carefully the formation of Medical Boards in his locality and to be sure that his employees secure as early as possible this a ee 4, a 2 > a The lines were cited as | Issued by .
