Hang the wire hangers out of

This is often called the woman's era.
Certainly the interests and activities

THE ENEMIES TO FEAR
The International Sunday School Les
son for June 20 IL "A Prayer 1Or
the Tempted" Psalm 141.
(By William T. ElliS.)

AS often a dual purpose is set by
the International Lesson Committee
for the present passage. 1t is study
OF a Psalm and a treatment or the
temperance question. Close students
Of the uniform lessons have more
than once suspected that the COM
mittee is careless in it's choice OF
Scripture for the temperance lesson.
Certainly this is SO in the present
Psalm which has never before been
selected for study by the Sunday
schools The most learned critics
confess themselves baffled by this
Psalm, one Of the most difficult in
the psalter. So it is not easy to
fathom the mental process OF the
committee that could offer to the un-
trained Sunday school teachers and
pupils of the world a Scripture por-
tion which is battling alike to the
ordinary reader and to the expert
eAegctist. If however, the fifth, sixth
and seventh verses of the Psalm are
omitted or disregardeG, the passage
becomes clear and helpful. Here is
the Psalm itself:
"Jchovah, l have called upon Thee;
make haste unto me:
Give ear unto my voice, when l call
unto Thee.
LET my prayer be set forth as in
cense before Thee;
The lifting up of my hands as the
evening sacrifice.
''Set a watch, o Jehovah, before my
mouth
Keep the door of my lips.
'Incline not my heart to any evil
thing,
Tc practice deeds of wickedness
With men that work iniquity:
And let me not eat Of their dainties
"Let the righteous smite me, it shall
be a kindness:
And let him reprove me, it shall be
as oil upon the head;
Let not my head refuse it:
For even in their WickedneSs shall
my prayer continue.
"Their judges are thrown down by
the sides Of the rock:
And they shall hear my words; fol
they are sweet
'.As when one ploweth and cleavett
the earth,
Our bones are scattered at tn,
mouth Of Shoel.
"F'or mine eyes are unto Thee, O Je
hovah the Lord:
In Thee do 1 take refuge; leave no
my soul destitute.
"Keep me from the snare which the
have laid for me,
And from the gins Of the workers O
iniquity.
"Let the wicked fall into their ow
nets,
Whilst that I withal escape"

When n Man Needs Help.

What plea did the angels lowering
over the sinking Lusitania hear ris-
ing from the lips Of the doomed?
The same cry that is rising hourly
from human spirits facing inevitable
death, or sorrow worse than death.
1t is the note that sounds in pro-
foundest literature. 1t is the theme
of all the immortal Psalms, and the
opening words Of the present one
the call unto Jehovah for help.
In all ultimate hours, man calls
upon God. Nobody escapes this need.
The spirit of mortals turns toward
the Infinite, in times of distress, as
q little child cries for it's mother.
That is the keynote of his lesson.
When down, look up, where God
waits to help. The Lord Of all the
universe is not too high to care for
the welfare of a single human spirit
God hears and answers prayer. What
ever emergency is great enough tc
vex the spirit Of men is also great
enough to claim the attention Of
God
When man breaks a leg, or hi:
house burns down, or his business
goes to smash, friends rush to hi
aid But in the worse troubles o
life. when his heart is burdened ant
anguished, when his manhood
threatened, when his faith seem
blinded. when in desolation Of spiri
nc cries aloud in the silent, lonel
hours. then he rarely has a friend t
succor him. Indeed, men commonl
hide these greater woes beneath smil
ing countenances.

CITIZENS
GREET MAYOR
OF CHICAGO
Heavyweight" Mayor of Windy
City Here For Few Minutes
on Way East
I'VE WANT TO VOTE"
DELEGATION ON HAND

William Hale Thompson, mayor OF
Chicago, and regarded, at least by
himself and his ardent friends, as a
presidential possibility, favored Bis
marck with a ten-minutes call yester.
day. The Windy City chief executive
professed desire to stay longer, but
just at this juncture the train began
TO move; the porter picked up his
"step,' and the mayor was compelled
to do a conductors quick flop to avoid
having his wish come true.
Thompson is big man-that goes
any way the reader wishes to take it..
To the naked eye he is decidedly Wis.,
ible-about 200 pounds of him appear
ing above the skyline. And he is a
big man in the sense that he is evil
IDENTIFY whole-hearted, sincere and
honest. Yesterday he had the ap-
pearance of man who had not long
left his couch, but he forgot none OF
his gallantry when party of Bis.
marck's fair sex came up to his car
to extend daintily gloved "glad
hands" He chatted easily with the
ladies', and just as freely with the
mayor and members of the city COM
mission and officers and the rank and
file of the Commercial club; state and
county officials, common citizens and
uncommon ones. He chatted, but
avoided saying anything. The same
was true of the remainder of his
party, which was composed Of some
very agreeable gentlemen, including
members of the Chicago board of
aldermen and lawmakers who do the
business of their state at Springfield.
, A most competent, Open-faced, at
tractive individual who had charge Of
the expedition, and who was the last
man of the party to leave Bismarck,
informed the reception committee
that he had endeavored to obtain a
special train, in order that the may
or's time might be equally divided be-
tween Bismarck and Fargo. No roll
ing stock seemed available at this
end of the line, however,-probably
because the railroads are preparing
for the rush of traffic expected to
line-and therefore ten minutes was
as much as Mr.. Thompson could give
the capital city.
If the mayor said anything on the
suffrage question, Bismarck ladies
have refuted an old slander cast up
on their sex-they can keep a secret
Inasmuch as the ladies helped some
what IN n1ovafe Mr. Thomson to
first place in the second city it was
expected that if he had anything to
say it would ring pleasant in suffra-
gette ears.
The greeting party was not as large
as had been anticipated-a tribute to
Bismarck's church.going proclivities.
When the populace of any city is
more interested in somewhat dis
tant chance of seeing Heaven than it
is in a certain prospect of seeing the
mayor of Chicago, there are grounds
for hope,
