Tbt Lord Onr Shepherd. rsalm 23.
Golden Tet. "The Ixrd In my Shep
nerd; 1 shall nut want."- Psalms 23:1.
David bad himself been a shepherd Id
boyhood, fcnd hence this figure wss most
aatural and well understood by him.
Verse 1. Shepherd. It is a Shepherd's
duty to feed hi sheep, "lie shall feed
hla flock like a shepherd." on id Isnlah.
Jehovah is like n shepherd in throe par
Ocular: (1) Food. What a shepherd
supplies the sheep in fond. He supplies
the soul. (2) Protection. The shepherd
keeps oft wild beast and robbers. Je
hovah ctn keep us from the power of
Satan and hi hosts. CI) Mi pit or. Me
keejm ua in the midst of trial and trib
ulations. By calling Himself a Shepherd,
our tJod stands pledged to lie all this to
ua. Do we believe It V
My Khepherd. Put Jhe emphasis on the
1 iron on n, my. Who Ik "iii.v Shepherd?"
The Lord. If it were innn. we miarht well
be dejUKindcnt and distrustful. Hut when
we realize that It In God, we have no ex
cuse for being afrhid or unbelieving. If
He la our shepherd, then we arc Ilia
sheep, and it I our duty to be obedient
and trustful. Since He pro mi hp to ful
fill the part of a ithopherd, it I" our part
to fulfill the part of a sheep. I nIiiiII not
want. We shrill atwnya have nil that we
need; perhaps not fill that we desire,' but
all that we ought to hnve, if we are true

2. He maketh ine to lie down. A sheep
liever Ilea down until It la full. Thla de
note the fact thnt lie has an abundant
. salvation that satisfies (lie aoul. If we
have not that kind of r.n exiierii'nce, it la
no fao.lt of our (tod. He can make ua

tian Into tha fullneaa of salvation. Thin

till w a tern. I'll ia indicates the peace that
very aoul possesses who leta the Shepherd
lead him.
H. He rcstoreth my aoul. Make my
aool well. Ourea It of the disease of e!n.
This la tha great apecialty of the good
shepherd- to cure ua from all ain. In
tie paths of righteousness. When the
soul ia cored of ain, then we have power
to go right, to do right. Thia we can
never do, until the heart ia made right.
Entire annct ideation ia nteessary in order
to doing right. "He that keepeth Hia
commandment, verily the love of God ia
perfected in bim." 'For Hia name's aake,
God is holy. He commands ua to pray for
Hia name to be hallowed or made holy. It
honors Hia name to have followers who
have been restored and made free from
in. It ia a dishonor to Him and Ilia
name If we are not saved from ain.
4. Valley of the ahadow. We must
walk through thnt valley, all of us. But,
thank God, it ia only a shadow. Jesua
aaya lie will go with ua, Mid comfort ua.
Thousands have proved thla to bo true.
It is coming to you. So let the good
Shepherd do all II can for you in sav
lng yon to Die uttermost .
6. In the presence of my enemies. Like
a soldier sitting down to eat, while the
enemy Is seeking to have him but can not.
While the devil is seeking to get us Jesus
feeds onr souls I what a thought I An
olnteth my head with oil. Anointing with
oil under the Old Testament economy was
special ceremouy which consecrated
kings and priests for their special duties,
la .this dispensation, It represents the
anointing of the Holy (spirit, which Is
given to the entirely sanctified believer,
which qualifies him for his life work.
Have you had it? My cup runneth over,
After we have had the cleansing and an
ointing, then comes the overflowing In
6. -Goodness and mercy. The goodness
and mercy of God, like faithful servants,
hall follow ns continually. He had faith
to believe that God would never foraake
Jfclm even down to old age. Have yon
that faith? In the house of the Lord.
(Among Ilia people the beat people in
ftha world. David waa no come-outer. He
expected to dwell in the sweet communion
of the saints on earth and live with them
iln heaven forever. , "Let me among God's
Ualnts be found, whan the great Arch-

led to the tragedy. Cria'iiter Is now

Kurton met Carpenter nt Walnut
Lodge by arrangement, and soys he
saw Rnnkln nml Taylor at the supper
tablo the night they were taken from
their hedH In the hotel nnd conveyed,
bound on horHelmck, to Hayou DeKhen,
to he murdered. After making sure
that Kniikln mid Taylor were at Wal
nut Lodge he conveyed the Information
to the leaders of the N'lglit Uldcru, and
while leaving the latter to deal with
the victims he went out on the lake
to fish. He wax nulling fully n mile
from Bbore when Hunk In wus . killed
ami heard tho reports of the Hhots that
were fired Into his body!
Tho confession of Kurton and the
arrest of many of the Night Riders
Implicated hi tho tragedy have placed
the authorities In a strong position In
dealing with tho lawlessness of the
Night Riders. Five companies of State
militia are now In the affected dlstrlot
and more will be dispatched to the
scene should the situation warrant it
It Is the purpose of Governor Tatterson
to stamp out the lawlessness which has
existed In the vicinity of Kcelfoot Lake
for a long tluie.
I.oar-tandl Lawleaaaeaa.
The flailing privileges connected wltk
this lake lie at the root of the whole
trouble. It has been the contention of
those living near . the lake squatters
and others that It was their right to
ply their calling as fishermen In Its
waters without molestation, while tho
owner of the land on the shores of the
lake took au opposite view.
Originally there were many owners
of the lands bordering on the lake, but
the Western Tennessee Land Compuny,
of which Capt. Rnnkln and Judge Tay
lor were the organizers, purchased the
rights of many of those, and in the
courts the company was upheld, to
gether with the embargo It had placed
on the fishing privileges on the lake.
Then followed Night Rider warnings,
threatening death to those who opposed
the wishes of the memliers of the bund.
It was ou the first visit In many months
to the lake reglou that dipt. Rankin
was killed.
Now th? Night Riders are to be
fought to ii ilnish and the whole dis
reputable organization exterminated.
The war against the Night Riders Is
to lie extended to other States; where
this species of lawlessness exists. The
Governors of several StatesGovernors
Noel of Mississippi, Pliulnll of Arkan
sas, and Willsou of Kentucky have
approved n suggestion of Governor Pat
terson that n conference of the execu
tives of these States lie held a ml plans
devised whereby they can net In, concert
In an effort to destroy Night Rider or
ganisations. The Governors nf other
States Indiana, Georgia, Alabama

For the reanoti that in material well

wasted and worse than wasted which ia

MnuiFi from the llrail.
In the Journal of the ltritish Psychical
Research Society fuller details are now
published concerning the recent state
ment of Sir Oliver lodge that, in liis
opinion, messages had been received from
the dead. The messages appear to have
been transmitted through the pen ( of a
medium known as Mrs. I iollundroiies. As
she sat with her mind a blank, her pen
pnsluced broken and blurred messages,
many of which dealt with the difliculty of
establishing communication with the liv
ing. One from Mr. Gurney, one of the
founders of the society, now dead, rend :
"A feeling of terrible impotence burdens
me. I am so powerless to tell what
means so much. I cau not get into com
munication with those who would under
stand and believe me. The nearest simile
I can find to express the difficulties of
sending a message is that I appear to be
standing behind a sheet of frosted glass,
which blurs the sight and deadens the
sound, dictating to a reluctant and some
what obtuse secretary." Living person
ality is declared to be on a lower plane
of spiritual development, which does not
receive clear impressions from the higher
plane of those who hnve quitted the prison
of the flesh. Immediately after dissolu
tion, says one message, there is an ob
scuration of consciousness which has led
to many failures to communicate with
living persons. . A message from the late
F. W. II. Myers says the period of ob
livion waa especially long with him, and
when he communicates In this way he is
"conscioua of atrain and efTort."
Scientists Outvote Koch.
Just before the closing of the Interna
tional Congress on Tuberculosis at Wash
ington, the members went on record al
most unanimously against the theory ad
vanced and defended by Prof. Robert
Koch of .Germany that tuberculosis Is not
tnuismissable between animals and man
The day before that Dr. Koch himself
iiad nailed a special conference to dis
cuss his theory, and many men of promi
mmce gave tlieir testimony to the effect
that consumption can be traced to milk
infection. Tlie resolution as adopted is :
"That preventive measures be continued
against bovine tuberculosis and that the
possibility of Hie propagation of this to
man be recognised. This will be re
garded as authoritative, at least until the
next congress, which it was decided to
hold at Rome in 1910. President Roose
velt attended the final session and praised
the work of scientists everywhere. The
great gathering of scientists before ad
journment announced ita position favora
ble to factory legislation, against woman
and child labor prematurely, instruction
of teachers iu personal and school hy

New York City affords one of the
greatest surprises of the election. In
stead of giving Bryan the 300,000 sl
confidently claimed by Democratic man
agers, Taft actually carried the me
tropolis. This is the second time a Re-"
publican candidate for President has
carried New York City, McKlulcy hav
ing a plurality of G1.000 In 18!U. Four
years later Bryan carried the city by
2S.0O0, and Iu 11)04 Parker carried it by
KS.OOO. Two years ago Chanler carried
it for Lieutenant Governor by 130,000,
and this year the Democratic leaders
felt mre of from 00,000 to 110,000 for
Bryan. Even the Republicans conced
ed the city to Bryan ry-Co.OOO.
Hearst's Independence party did not
change the result In New York State,
but it did contribute materially to ke.;p-
lii! down the Bryan vote. ' Ilisgeu poll
ed upward of 30,000 votes In New York
City, nicst of which would likely hnve-
gone to Bryan. The Hearst candldr.te-
for Governor of New York, Shearn, did
not pet enough votes to have saved
Chanler if all had been cast for him.
The much-talked-of Bryan lnndsllde-
ln the West did not .materialise. Taft's
pluralities in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Minnesota, Michigan and other State
of this region . are much reduced
from the ltoosevelt figures of 1904.

The Republicans have a majority In I
the House of Representatives, and all fV
the prominent members of the House- t
who were candidates for re-election
were returned. JtWph G. Cannon was
elected in his Illinois district, and he
will undoubtedly be chosen Speaker In
the organization of the new House.

Twenty-nine States will cast their
electoral votes for Tuft, leaving but
seventeen State votes for Brynn. At,
the same time the Republicans have-
Increased their supremacy In the nu-
tlonal House of Representatives, while
In the United States Senate they have
retained their present majority.
Speaker Cannon and Representatives-
I'ayne of New York and Dalzell of

While In the end the resiiltB bore-
out the predictions which bail been
made by the Republican managers.
there were a host of surprises. In New
York the most liosfiil cxHi-tations of
the Republican campaign managers
were surpassed. In .MnKsnchiisetts the
