The opening words of Psalm 130 are, " Oat of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord. Human life is not a velvet path over a level plain. It has its ups and downs. Its " depths " with one person may be sore bereavements ; with another, bitter disappointment ; with not a few, habitual melancholy. Under all experi- ences of trial one privilege belongs to us, and that is to cry out. Of all the " depths " in this world the deepest and darkest is a state of guilt. Many of the griefs that people worry over and weep over are only shallow pools— but sin is a deep pit— it carries us down so far from God and from the light of His counten- ance. " It is a horrible pit and miry clay." What is the first step for deliverance 1 It is to call upon God. The sooner, the more fervently, the better. " If out of the depths you cry, you will cry yourself out of the depths," has been well said. Sir Walter Scott describes one of his heroines as driven by the inrushing tide of the sea to a narrow shelf of rook at the foot of an awful precipice. To climb up is an impossibility. Her only hope of rescue is to shout lor help, and the shout brings the " Hope of Relief." " Lord, hear my voice," shouts the sinner, who neither makes little of his danger, nor excuses himself for having got into the place of guilt and peril. " Lord, if Thou sliouldest mark iniquities, who could stand 1" " God, be merciful to me a sinner ! " " There is forgiveness with Thee" was the rope that lifted the Psalmist out of the depths. The only religion in the world that lowers the rope of mercy is the religion of the Bible. Heathen deities can punish, they canpot pardon. Nature never forgives ; if you break her laws, you must pay the penalty. The prodigal's remorse does not restore to him his lost health or his squandered money. But the sweetest article in the creed of Christianity is, " I believe in the forgiveness of sins." Grasping the heaven- sent rope of relief, the rope of Jesus Christ's atoning grace, the forgiven sinner is lifted out of the depths, and set upon a rock. How this rope of love that rescues us ought to bind us to Christ in constant, loving obedience. The cry from the depths ! may it be the pre- lude to Heaven's Hallelujah !
