Excerpt from Some Aspects of the Blessed Life Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful but his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. - psalm i. I, 2. Blessed - this is the first word of the book of Psalms, and this is the key-note of all its songs. Here, as frontispiece, is set the pict ure of the blessed man, and here is the begin ning of the blessed life. The after history follows it through many changes, through troubled days and gracious deliverance, until at last it reaches the land where sorrow and sighing are fled away, and, day and night, praise fills the holy temple.
