"I SHALL NOT WANT"
"I OFTEN repeated t-he Psalm, 'The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want,"" wrote Vern Haughland,. Associated Press correspondent, lost in New Guinea jungle for six weeks. "I would be unable to go one step farther, and then I would remember. I shall not want.' and sure enough- * there'd be some berries or chewable grass or a creek with good water just ahead.'' Many a British or American lad is| having occasion to remember his early training thes»e; days and to rely on the truths he was taught at his moth-
er's knee or by some consecrated Sunday school teacher. This courageous correspondent says he knows God saved him. "Thou pre.parest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies,"' runs the best known of all the Psalms". Though it was only berries and grass, yet "the table" was? sufficient to preserve Vern Haughland. And did he remember, when he took off his socks and gave them to a shoeless companion, "I shall not want"?— Christian Science Monitor
