to the subject announced: GREAT DELIvERANCEs."
Gear not for they that be with than they

"The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them

fourth Psalm does not stand alone but there may be coupled
with it many Others particularly that in the first
chapter of Hebrews, which reads:
care they not all minisering spirits sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation?
The Psamist had been compelled to flee from the court
of King SAUL and had gone Achsh expecting there

THE STORY OF JOSEPH

have heard some of you people say "Well I wonder
why God permits some of these things to happen? Oh what
shame things in the condition they are" That has
been said to me number of times during this past week.
Joseph had a dream, and dream that amounted to
something He was out in the field with his brethren bind
ing sheaves. He had vision of the sum- moon and the
stars When ne told his dream to his brethren at home they
were very envous and jealous of him. The old father re-
buked him. Then these brethren took the boy Joseph and
made their minds that they would kill him. but finally one
of them nerceded and they put him into pit instead of
killing him. What terrible thing for brother to- murder
brother What awful thing to put him in a pit, and
what terrible thing to sell him and for him be taken
down into Egypt. What awful thing it that such
things should happen. Why should it have to be?
In a little WHILE there is great famine all around but
that boy who has been placed Egypt by the king is
gathering all the grain and getting ready for the
of famine His father and brethren up Canaan eat
the last food they have and there nowhere to except
down to Egypt where Joseph makes himself known to his
brethren and said eye meant it for evil but God meant
for good' God had him down ahead preserve life.
That not terrible. That part of it all right.

ed yesterday. It was admitted, how
ever, that there was room for doubt
as to the correctness of tallies be-
cause of the second choice votes. Mr..
Sanders himself, would have nothing
to say on the question except to inti-
mate, that if he won the nomination,
he wanted it, but that if Mr.. Van Pelt
received it, there was no more to be
said.
It was reported last night that a
formal protest had been made by Mr..
Van Pelt on precinct Is, but Mr.. Van
Pelt or his friends would have moth
ing to say in confederation or denial
of that rumor.
All candidates whose nominations
were practically assured on the face
of the returns already in, were hap
py yesterday, but some relief was
confessed by the defeated candidates,
for, as one said, "the fact that the
strain is over is a satisfaction" Those
who won out were congratulated by
friends yesterday, but many of the
| defeated candidates are publishing
cards this morning, returning sincere
thanks for the vote accorded them.
Palafox street presented very diff
ferent scene last night than that
which prevailed during the past few
weeks. Crowds of people were very
conspicuous by their absence.
The committee will meet this morn
ing at 9:30 in the office of County
Judge Henry Bellinger, and will make
careful canvass of all returns. Up to
last night, several precincts were not
officially heard from, but assurances
were given that every precinct would
be in hand this morning, hence the
early hour for the meeting.
