Hymn.
''Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear,
1t is not night If Thou be near;
Oh may no earth.born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servants
eyes"
Prayer.
Grant, o Lord, that in Thy light
we may see light! And may we
walk in the light, and may the blood
of thy Son, Jesus Christ, cleanse us
from all sin. In his name, Amen.
Text.
1.-THE Lord God is a sun and shield
Ps. SILL. An old divine, not inapt-
ly, translates this text thus: THE
Lord God is sun and shade" The
same God in differing condition, diff
fers. II is part of His Interchangeable
consistency to differ. He was "pillar
of cloud" a shade to the pilgrim
nation of Israel. By night He was a
pillar of fire 10 enlghten and guide.
"God is a sum-" That is, God is
Power. For every form of physical
power in the universe is from the
sun. The sun symbolizes Gods i'm
measurable power. The power of
the sun we have been feeling these
days is having its shield of cloud and
breeze. Thus, everywhere, the out
pouring of Divine Power has its tenn
pering cover. God is the light and
life OF men. And yet that life is
poured into US under the reostatic
control of God as shade" '"God
is sum-" which is the poetic way of
saying that God is the center of at
traction. The sun with his invisi-
BILE bands draws all the planets TO
him. So God draws the souls of men
10 Him. Were not the attraction of
the sun Shaded" by a "centerflee
ing" force, worlds would soon be his
fuel. But the two forces balance,
and the result is the safety and sing
ing of the spheres. God draws us TO
Himself, but to go uncovered into
His awesome Presence and blazing
glory of holiness would be our undo
ing. Christ shades in His flesh the
glories of the eternal God. He holds
in leash the awesome aspects OF the
Divine Glory; and in Him we may
look upon God, and yet live.

Down in Medulla in Polk county the
other day number of citizens met and
passed resolutions against the proposition
TO bond Polk county for 100000 for
public improvements. The resolution
says: "Be it resolved that we, the tax
payers in MASK meeting assembled, do
hereby protest against this movement"
etc. 1t is to the credit OF the leaders
in this "mask" meeting, however, that
they signed their full names TO the pro-
testing resolutions thus disclosing their
identity and doing away with any neces-
sity of future "mask" meetings.

The very general opinion of those
people in this country who have been
close readers of the testimony in the
Henry Clay Beattie jr. murder trial is
that the young man is guilty of the muir
der of his wife. But a very large num-
Der OF these same people would hesitate
before following the lead of the jury in
the case and say that he was guilty be.
yond reasonable doubt. 1t was a jury
of good men-God fearing men-that
has said Henry Clay Beattie jr. was
guilty of murder in the first degree.
That very fact of their own goodness
may constitute their one weakness as
members OF jury having in its hands
the power of life and death. Good
men, men who while bottled up out OF
court, sing psalms and who fall to their
knees in prayer before voting on a yer
dict, are usually men of deep.Seated
prejudice against men OF Beattie'S type
Would that prejudice prevent them do,
ing full justice 10 such degraded man
as Beattie was proven to be2 The chan
ces are that it would. Other men, moi
so religious, would hold Beattie in the
same loathing, but would be more likely
TO remember that the defendant was not
on trial for his fast and unfaithful life,
but for the murder of his wife. The
murder for which Henry Clay Beattie
jr. stands convicted is the most foul
recorded in the criminal history of the
country. Murder most foul, as in the
best il is, but this most foul, strange and
unnatural" Beattie'S trial was a fair
one. He had able lawyers to defend
him and an upright judge presided and
guarded his every constitutional right
The jury was accepted by him as salts
factory. There is little if any ground
for appeal. The one weak point in the
trial from The viewpoint of the defense
consists in the fact that all the Jurors
were intensely religious men, and there
fore prejudiced men. With such men
''vice is a monster of such frightful
mein, that TO be hated needs but to be
seen" AS a rule such men take but
one look, and that is to their credit; and
while it may make for their own long,
and useful life, il really is not
an asset that gives them special value as
jurors sitting in the trial of the gilded
youth of the country who have looked
upon, and finally embraced,
vice.

Some of the aldermen who voted for
the Hammatt and associates" city
lighting contract are seeking TO justify
their position with the statement that
Hammatt and associates have been
granted lighting and power franchise
which calls for an all day and every
day power service; that Mr.. Bailey has
no such franchise that Hammatt and
associates will not accept the franchise
which calls for day power service
unless they can get the city lighting con-
tract for this reason and for this alone
they voted 10 give 'Hammatt and asso-
ciates' the lighting contract" at price
more than 81, 900 in excess of Mr. Bailey's
bid. In other words, because some few
factories and business men want day
power service, these aldermen are will
ing that the general taxpayers OF this
city should pay 50, 900 10 get such service
installed for the few. This is the plan
OF the special interests everywhere. The
News would respectfully call the atten-
lion of these aldermen that day power
service was not a factor in the recent
bids for lighting, and it is unfortunate
for them that they have thus subjected
themselves 10 being regarded, perhaps
innocently on their part, as the tools of
grafters. Graft and grafters are ugly
words. They do not necessarily mean
that men to whom they are applied
would take money. They may, however,
be correctly applied TO men and measures
used TO force the many TO pay for the
special privileges of the few. This con
test is for the lighting of the streets Of
the city of Palatka, for an all night and
every night service. Not word was
said in the advertisement about power
service. There were two bids. Mr.
Bailey's bid as president of the Palatka
Gas Light & Fuel Company was so much
lower than the bid of "Hammatt and
associates" that it meant saving of over
$1,000 in five years of the taxpayers
money on the single item of street
lights And yet, TO the shame and NOR
LITIGATION of the people of Palatka, be il
said that a majority-and such majority
of the city councilmen voted for the
"Hammett and associates" bid. With
such work what wonder that taxes are
high in the city of Palatka.

The Jacksonville Trade Extension
Association is not deficient in nerve"
1t asks the News to publish, free, gratis,
for nothin', and as news matter, fake
dispatch which begins with this state
ment: 1.-THE merchants of the small
towns OF Florida are expressing their
satisfaction with the work of the Jack
sonville Trade Extension Association,
the new organization OF retail merhants
of that city who pay railroad fare OF per
sons going there to buy according TO a
graduated scale" "This organization is
making no fight against the merchants
OF the small towns" Oh, no! They
want the trade, that is all. Well, the
News doesn't know about ALL the
smaller cities and towns in Florida, but
ii does profess TO know little some
thing about Palatka; and it is this. You
can buy anything from an automobile
and load of hay TO hairpin in Palatka
at as low or lower price than in Jack
sonvil!e. Mother thing: In dry goods,
clothing, shoes, furniture and groceries,
the assortment is about as complete.
When it comes TO clothing the city of
Jacksonville is not in it with Palatka,
particularly as TO the quality of goods
and styles. This association will pardon
US, therefor, if we decline TO take part
in its cheap fake scheme to divert trade
from our own better market. Jackson
vile has Palatka beat several miles in
streets and saloons and brothels and
people and nerve but when il comes 10
upt date, legitimate merchandising and
prices, the balance is in Palatka's favor.
