Psalms of David.

THE following eloquent extract is from a late lecture by Henry Giles on the Psalms of David:

"Great has been their power in the world. They resounded amidst the court of the tabernacle; they floated thru the lofty and solemn space of the temple; they were sung with glory in the halls of Zion; they were sung with sorrow by the streams of Babel. And when Israel had passed away the harp of David was still awake. In all the years and ages, the inspiration of the royal prophet has enraptured its devotions and ennobled its rituals. Chorused by the winds of heaven, they have swelled thruout God's own on the sky and stars; they have rolled over the broad desert of Asia, in the matins and vespers of ten thousand hermits. They have rung thru the deep valleys of the Alps, in the sobbing voices of the forlorn Waldenses; thru the deeps and caves of the Scottish Covenanters; thru the woods and wilds of primitive America, in the heroic hallelujahs of princely pilgrims."—Jewish Ledger.
