But still there is a difference even between good shepâ€" herds, and the emphasis. of the psalm at this point is clearly on the personal pronoun. _ Leadethâ€"The shepherd leads, he does not drive his flock. § o‘ Israel‘s God, ‘‘Jahvch,""‘ does occur; and that name, with all of its historic significance to members ’of the chosen race, is always in the mind, if not on the lips, of the deâ€" vout Hebrew of toâ€"day as he reads the psalms, as it has been in the minds of his ancestors through the: decades of centuries since the poem was first written. Upon reflection and after a little practice in its use, in this familiar sentence, the. strength and dignity of the proper name over against the expression ‘"‘The Lord,"‘ which in verbal u't-‘ terance the Hebrew substituted for the name of his God, will appeal tc even a modern and a Gentue student of the psalm.

It is the consciousness of the fact that his shepherd is Jehovah which comâ€" forts and reassures the shepherd king of Israel amid the perplexing problems of his busy private and public life.

Golden Text, Psa. 23. 1. : THE SUNDAY SUKOOL Doubtless there is a good deal of loose thinking, foggy philosophy and unscientific superstition in the world ; doubtless it would be an exâ€" cellent thing Weary of warring creeds, of disâ€" putations over doctrines, of causes that struggle for no great good and erganizations that, in the name of religion, exist only to keep up their own existence, we turn to look on that life and read again his words, finding there ever closer touch with and clearer understanding of all our lives. Jesus of Nazreth faced life‘s deepâ€" est problem and its greatest foe. Theology represents him as fightâ€" ing organized sin and its agents, as living and dying to take away the legal reproach of human disâ€" obedience to the will of God. But we feel a need deeper, keener than that, and this is THE NEED HE MEETS, that some one should right the real wrongs and cure the heartaches and ills of our everyday world. It is a good thing to believe that this is a good world, that somehow love is working out the final good of all. â€"Pufpegsday hbhe must be His was a life of joy. He knew enough of the light from heaven, of the clearness of the shining of hapâ€" piness to be able to tell his friends that he was leaving his joy to them, but the essontial, outstanding glory of his life lay in the fact that he tasted of the. bitterness of every cup ; he bore our griefs and carâ€" ried our sorrows. wit There is one tis that binds us all togethe:, one experience we all have in common, one part of the way of life in which we all walk ; sorrow is its name, and in its way springs up the small bornd that we call sympathy.

A hard water is also wasteful of soap. Every degree of hardness, which means the equivalent of one grain of bicarbonate of lime to the gallon, requires from eight to ten grains of soap to neutralize it before a laâ€" ther can be made. â€" One sometimes hears the asserâ€" tion that a hard water, although not especially pleasant for washing purposes, is fine for drinking, and possessed of healthâ€"giving properâ€" tres of the highest order. _ If one keeps his ears open he can hear alâ€" most anything in the course of time.

Hard waters are those that conâ€" tain a considerable amount of lime. ci magnesium salts, or sometimes iron, in solution. The permanently hard waters are those that cannot be softened by boiling ; they usualâ€" ly contain sulphate of lime. The temporarily hard waters, on the other hand, are those that contain bicarbonate of lime.
