TEHILLIM 135

1 Praise ye Yah. Praise ye the name of Yahweh; praise him, O ye servants of Yahweh.

This is the state of mind we have to rise to as brethren and sisters of Christ; for it is the Father's predestination that they be "conformed to the image of His Son," and we know that Christ was not behind David in the fervour of his admiration of the eternal Father.

The world is getting more and more away from this attitude, for with the vanishing of the old superstitions and the diffusion of a correct knowledge of nature and natural law, unaccompanied with a real knowledge of revealed truth, there is setting in a cold undevout temper which is unfavourable to the recognition of God in any real sense.

We are in danger of being infected by this spirit, which is a spirit of godlessness, with, however many human graces accompanied. The only models are in the Bible; and among them all, David and Christ stand first in that living sense of God which is the first principle of true godliness.
