Wo give below tho worda of the third psalm and," says tho Church Family Newspaper' "wo do not hesitate to say that during tho war, at any rate, these psalms ought to bo uaed periodically in onr churches: — " l«t us praise God for tho Dead: for tho Dead who die in our canso. "They went forth first a little army: all ite men were true as stool. " The hoTdee of the enemy wore hurled against them: they fell back, but their heart failed not. " They went forward again and hold I'heir ground: though their foea were as five to on?. "They gave time for our host k> miwst< r: the host of the men who never thought to fight. " A gTeat host and a mighty: worthy of the men who died to gain thorn timo. The men who never thought to figh* h-av: not been found wanting: in the strength Goc! has given them they are great o-f heart. "They fight against those who love war: they fight, and by faith in God tliey shall prevail. " Let us praise God for the- s p. men : let us remember them before Him all our days. u Let us care for the widows :ind orphan.,: and for tho men who come home maimed. "Truly God han been with us: tiics:: tilings h®vo not been done without His help. " O Xiord our God, bo Thou still onr helper: males ws wrthy of tbeso who die."
