Its verses one hundred and seventy-nix In all ure not closely connected so that Mull hew Henry j speaiis or u as ' a chest of gold rings, not a chain of gold links." One subject bow ever Is mentioned In all but two of the verses viz., tbo law of Cod, It Is spoken of lis, law, word, saying, c o in nuihdmentfl, testimonies, judg ments, nnd In our text, us tho utalules of God. The Psalmist declares that llieso f statutes have been his song In the house of his pilgrimage. He pictures himself as a pilgrim and sojourner, In a strange laud und far from home, hut finding bis solace und delight in tho taw of God. We must confess this Is n different cniieepilou from that of most men. Cod's law to them Is not the sweet cuer of life. On the contrary, life would do well enoUKh If Cud could be left out of It. His law Is the skeleton ut tlu' feast and to forget Cud Is their dally pursuit. Some, however, advance from tho place wbem ttod'ar law Is their dread to (he place where they oliserve It us their duly. We unspect this Is the at tliude of many GbrlstlanH. Well, the Lord Is very tender and of great mercy; bo will not break the bruised reed nor quench the smoking flax. Hut how disappointed he must he! . What hiiKNami would tolerate a wife whu only engaged to "do ln-r duly" In re turn for his love?

We sing: Fafreitt loril Jfmif. Ruler of all nature! O Thou fif (ifid and man the flpn! Thee will I rlitirlnh, Thuo will I honor, Thee, my soul's glory, Joy and crown. Then we talk, rather dolefully, of "do- lug our duty." The Psulmlst would aliow ns n more excellent way, In which dread and duty give place to delight and the statutes become Rungs. A few consld eratinim will show the reasonableness' of this attitude. The Beauty of the Lord. First of all, (iod's laws are Hie ex pression of his lovely nature. Things: uru not light because Cod wills them, but God wills Hiem because they are right. They express himself. Tho saliilly lllshnp Nlrule of Hie Methodist church was once observed by a friend j with n peculiarly lovely expression on Ms face. The friend asked what: thoughts they were which were rellert- i ed ilius In the P.I shop's face. "I was I ifiinMng of God," was Hie replv. The j glory of IIiIh God 1h expressed in bis islatiifes mid if we keep them we shall tie like hli:i and the beauty of the Lord ! our God shall lie upon us. I Again, law Is after all not such a bnrMh thing. We should not desire a lawless country. Kvery creature finds ! lii.-."iy In obeying the law of Its be i Ink ami mo shall we. A U.-di lives. bap ! plly only so long as It slays In the wa ter, wllh all its limit n ( (otis, mid we shall be happy "uly In the will of Cod. One has said, "The principles of unit he matics determine beauty am! the laws, of geometry are at the basis of music; but ist as the artist transfigure the stem laws Into picture and sonata, so In knowledge, love, patience and sacri fice the austere precepts of duty pns Into that beauty of holiness of which all olber beauty Is outy the shadow." The statutes have become Bongs, Cod't Rule Over AM. Once UKuIn, Cud's statutes a re In ugrcemeiit with all bis laws. lie who upon Slmil uttered bis wll Inward men, sits upon the throne of Hie uni verse and Issues bis mandates to all things animate and Inanimate.

Science recogul.es more and more that not from many sources but from one must come the laws rutlng In the sphere of physical things. Well, the statutes for u hu man life came from him who rules everywhere, and they must harmonize with his rule elsewhere.
