Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week

ton meeting
1t has been said that the One Hun
dred and Twentieth Psalm is one OF
complaint, while the one before Us is
one of comfort AMI consolation n
this psalm the writer forsets his dis
tresses or overcomes them by lifting
his eyes unto the hills from wkes2ee
cometh my help The hills were the
hills of Zion, the location Of the tes--
pie. the especial abode of God Himself.
hence the psAInist means that be was
really looking TO God. and, moreover,
he adds. My help coneth fro1a the
Lord. which made heaven and earth
The protection of God is amply set
forth throughout the entire psalm ard
by various figures. In the fifth verse
he says The Lord is thy keeper. the
Lord is tay shade PROTECTOR upon tbs
right hand The sun shall not srriSs
thee by day nor the moon by night.
They were TO be free from sa1streAes
and the deleterious effects Of the
moons rays by night Some have
doubted such injuries of the moon. but
modern travellers have proved that bad
effects do follow sleeping In the moon-
light in hot countries When the fill
facts are known the Bible is always
proved to be true. 1t always will be.
THE Lord shall preserve thy soul
keep US liz temptations TO evil The
bel . .
ermore"-for time and for eternity.
These declarations Of the psalmist are
all true Our God is both able and VIII
ing to do all that is here set forth. The
only condition Is our willingness to
trust Him that He may bring 1t &c
pass"
The supreme thought Of the psalm.st
selected for our consideration is that
the Lord is a sleepless watcher and
keeper. He that keepeth thee shall
neither slumbcr nor sleep" There are
sweet comfort and satisfaction In this
fact that God is a sleepless watcher.
Neither by day nor by night Is He uIi-
conscious Of our cry How often a
child becomes restless at night and
filled with fear in the dark, cries out.
Are you awake. mammaT' And when
the answer comes back, Yes. dea-."
how the little brain and heart are com
forted and soon find rest In sleep.
Mamma is awake. Why should she

deavorers, your Heavenly Father is al
ways awake. Why should you fear:
There is no need unless you have of
Tended Him and are not on good terms
with Hin. aRd even then if you cry to
Him in penitence how ready he is 10
hear you, No sound is so sweet TO the
ear of our Heavenly Father as the cry
Of the penitent and He is willing to
forgive and able to forget, which we
cannot do the sin that has separated
us from Him Let US only fear to Of

pose to be caught by such a tri1e as a
lack of votes. While they cannot hope
to gain the senatorship if My Man
Jones fails to get the nomina ion, the
position Of governor is an entirely diff
ferent matter. They are resourceful-
and knowing that Mead cannot be
nominated, save by a miracle, they pro-
pose TO override the verdict of the peo-
pie as expressed at the direct primary.
If their candidate fails to receive the
necessary 40 per cent of the total vote
they intend to bolt the ticket
CircuIates Petition.
Just here is where Cosgrove comes
in. 1t will be recalled that the peren-
NAL candidate from Pomeroy is not
merely canvassing the statee; he is
circulating a petition of which the
signers request him to stand for gov
ernor and bind themselves to his sup
port This petition has been circulat-
ed in Skagit, in King, and in other
counties. and in numerous instances
it has been signed by electors who did
not fully consider its meaning.
Readers of The Times viii recall a
dispatch from Olympia rscenty, in
which certain phases of the direct pri
maj y law were discussed: among other
things it was pointed out that legal
authorities who have recently exam
ned the law to determine the point
say that there is nothing in the act
which prohibits the nominating of in
dependent candidates by petition car
rying the names of 1000 qualified cleo
tors if the office sought is state
position.
Cosgrove's petition contains one
joker often overlooked by the signer,
in that the petition pledges the signer
to support him. In addition. such Il
petition might give the candidate cir
culating it the opportunity of getting
his name on the official ballot in the
election as an independent candidate.
regardless of the fact that he may have
been defeated for the nomination by
his party in the primary election

Quick End.

There was Il man of modest means,
Bat inclina tons gay,
Who sold Il corner lot and bought
A motor car one day.
He closed his business up to ride
Within the big machine,
And parted with his diamond ring
To buy the gasoline.
Before, along the country roads.
The sumac lit its fires,
He put 4 mortgage on his house
To purchase rubber tires.
And next he auctioned off his beds,
His tables and his chairs,
To give the car coat of paint
And make some light repairs.
But speeding in the early dusk,
Without his lamps alight,
A man in blue and brass appeared
And stopped his dizzy flight.
He didn't have a single cent
70 pay the fine imposed:
They took the auto for the debt
And so the tale was closed. -ES

IS COSGROvE
WILSON'S MAN?
SOUND WRITER SAYS POMEROY
CANDIDATE is PART OF JOHN
LIS MACHINE.

According to political story sent
out from SedrO- WTooley to the Seattle
Times. S. G. Cosg-ove who is making
an active campaign for the nomination
for governor on the republican ticket
is flirting with the Wilson machine
and it would not be surprising to many
politicians of the state if the POmeroy
candidate does not eventually climb
into Wilson'S band wagon. With eX-
Governor Mcbride in the field, the four
cOrnerer fight between Governor Mead
Mcbride. Atkinson and Cosgrove, is
assuming an interesting aspect and
spice is added to the impending con-
horse is looming up on the political
horizon. The Sedro- WOoley CORE
ton from his view point, in which he
classes Cosgrove as a Wilson adherent:
THE activity of S. c. Cosgrove, can
didate for governor, has been fully as
marked in Skagit county as in other
portions of the state. He has been in
the field early, and has kept late at his
work, until he now has achieved the
distinction Of having made almost u
house toulouse canvass. He has ad
dressed meetings at the cross roads,
has passed the time of day with the
farmers on the highway, has put up a.
humble settlements in the clearings
and he'd the baby while the rancher's
wife prepared the meal-and so on,
until his trail has led pretty generally
into every corner of the county.
IN tilis st 'onghold of Henry Nc
Bride, where John -. Atkinson is
known as a likely possibility for sec
Ond choice and Mead is recognized as
man who will use the full power of
the state patronage to capture votes,
CosgrOve has industriously gone about
from house to house in tireless effort
to gather in and solidify all the support
possible for him TO obtain. He has
made an especial bid for the aid Of
Grand Army men.
