Minister Interprets yThe Psalms'
Dr. Donald Grey Barn-
house, minister of the Tenth
Presbyterian church, Phila
delphia, Pa., spoke to the
Women's association of the
Westminster Presby t e r i a n
church and their guests at a
luncheon meeting on Tuesday,
February 23. "The Psalms"
was the subject of his speech.
Dr. Barnhouse, recited
many of the 150 psalms he
had memorized, interpreted
those he recited. Using Psalm
84 as an example, he called
attention to the fact that this
psalm was written "for the
Sons of Koran" what he
called the "janitors" or "care
takers" of the Tabernacles.

He noted particularly the
third verse of this psalm
where it tells that the spar
row and the swallow had built
their nests in the vicinity of
the altar.
"These are things that care
takers would naturally notice
as they went about their
work," Dr. Barnhouse said,
"and how they loved their
work! The sparrow is the
symbol of worthlessness and
the swallow, the symbol of
restlessness. The swallow is
the American bird most on
the wing," he added.
Association Theme
The book of the Psalms is
the theme of the Women's as
sociation circle study program
for the year.
A business meeting was
held following Dr. Barn
houses' speech. The four cir

Bible by a committee select
