T he Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his taber­ nacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; 1 will sing, yea, 1 will sing praises unto the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee. Thy face, Lord, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up againt me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. house occasion. They renewed their vows with their pastor, Rev. William Varian.

Uddingston, Scotland—This church has been having a wonderful time cele­ brating two jubilee years. Nazarcnes here showed great interest in carrying out the program of the Golden Anni­ versary year. In October, during the Week of Witnessing, we were blessed by the ministry of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Earle. Dr. Earle endeared himself to the Scottish people by his pulpit min­ istry, and also by his “a cqua in tableness” on the streets of the village. Mrs. Earle contributed many beautifully sung hymns and songs, and all were blessed by this ministry. Over three hundred personal contacts were made during that week. Also 1959 is a jubilee year for us, since the Uddingston church was organ­ ized March 15, 1909. From March 14 through 16, with Rev. T. Crichton Mitchell as the speaker, the church cele­ brated fifty years of service to this com­ munity. Miss M. K.
