Huron County Council
Meeting for their June session on
the afternoon of the King’s birth-
<lay, the Huron County Couucil open*
od their proceedings with the sing

Wgsestion of the Warden. A phot

In his opening remarks the War
den. " mentioned the .bereaveinient
'Krhich had come to two homes, that
Mr, Henderson and that of Mr.
XIolman, and he expressed the sym
pathy of all the members of thf

He said lie had come in contact
with the work of the various com-
stnittees and had been over the coun-
try with the Good Roads Commls-

the
ed that the County of Huron was an
outstanding county of good roads.
Many requests had come in for por
tions of roads to be given attention
and he felt that the various muni
cipalities were justified in asking
that these roads be taken over. The
present he felt was the proper time
to take care of’a number of small
bridges, on roads that had been
widened to 24 feet, while some of
the bridges remained only about 14
t’f?&t wide and constituted real danger
spots. Now also was the time to
clean up the $15,000 which had
been incurred several years ago,
Following the request of the county
council the commission would spend
up to the 2-mill highway rate and
would stop work.

The work of the Children’s Shelter
Committee was one which imposed
quite a burden on the county, A
special meeting had been necessary
to consider the case of a family with
seven children in an institution! in
London at the expense of this coun
ty. Mr. Edwards was sent to Lon-v
don and a special arrangement was
made whereby six of the children
were taken care, of for $30,00 a
week and the youngest was brought
back to this county. To have look
ed after this family in the shelter
here would have necessitated the
appointment of an assistant matron
of the shelter.
A meeting was held at the County
Home last Friday, The Agricultur
al representative was asking, for
ten acres of land for demonstration
purposes. The county home needed
all its present land, but 46 acres to
the northeast of the home could be

better to rent this land for five years
or take an option on it rather than,
purchase at the present time.
The Old Age Pension scheme had
resulted in 567 applications being
received for the pension so far, 154
new applications had been received
since December. 436 had been
granted by the Provincial author
ities and 60 more had passed the
county committee. The pension
fund was. costing the county $1600
a month and the expense so far
would take half a mill on the assess
ment toxmeet,
There had been a great deal of
criticism of the pension committee
for the number of times they met
and for the amount they received,
but the Warden said he would soon>
er sit on any other county commit
tee at $3 a day than on'this com
mittee at $10.00 a day, on account
of the unpleasantness and hard feel
ings occasioned by the turning down
of applications that a member felt
he could not honestly recommend.
$10 a day for committee meetings
and $4 a day for time sp.ent on in
vestigations and ten cents a mile
for travelling he said was less, than
the $8 a day and 20 cents a mile
stated by the court judge as a fair
allowance for such committees.
The time was not for distant, the
Warden thoiught, when we would
require a second traffic cop for the
county, for the work in the south
of the county kept' him busy and
there should be another officer for
the north.
It may be as. has often been stat
ed that county councils are losing
a lot of their former powers but if
they are they are certainly watch
ing the legislation .that goes into
effect at Toronto and petitions from
other counties for co-operation in
memorializing the legislature are a
regular part of every session of the
county council now. The united
counties of Northumberland and
Durham ask Huron county to co-op
erate in asking the Legislature to
relieve the counties of contribu
tions to the Old Age Pensions. Went

to assume the -whole cost of Provin

a new committee organized a year

JESUS. ON-THE CROSS.
Sunday, June 15.—Matthew' 27:1*
’ 66.
Golddn Text
Looking unto Jesus the
and Finisher of our faith,
the joy that was set' before ...
dured the cross, despising the sllapne,
and is set down at the right hand of
the throne of God. (Heb. 12; 2.)
There is, no other chapter in the
entire Bible in which-the religious
purpose of God and the evil purpos
es of men come together as they do
here (and in the parallel chapters
in the Gospels). God’s eternal pur
poses for redemption were being,
consummated. Fulfillments for Old
Testament prophecies were rapidly
multiplying. The darkest day in
history of the world had come,
Bible students have pointed out
that 25 Old Testament prophecies
Were literally fulfilled within twenty
four hours at the time of the Lord’s
crucifixion. We noted a number of
these prophecies last week, in Mat
thew 26. This week, in chapter 27,
we find the following;

The lesson opens
words, “When the
come.” It was the
the day of power 'permitted to Satan
and evil -men. In .Gethsemane our
Lord had said to His enemies who
came to take Him: “This is your
hour, and the power of darkness”
(Luke 22:52). So when the morn
ing came the priests and elders
bound Him, led Him away, and. de
livered Him to the Roman Govern
or.
It was a dark day for the Lord
Jesus Christ, but it was a darker -day
for His betrayer, Judas. The apos
tate apostle was overcome by re
morse, returned the money, and
“went and hanged himself.” The
priests dared not keep tae money or
put it into the temple treasury, but
bought with it the potter’s field, un
consciously fulfilling proprhecy.
Why was the Lord ,a glory, King
of kings and Lord of lords, silent be
fore His accusers? It was because
He stood in the sinner’s place; He
was being made sin for us, and sin
has no righteous, reply to make to
condemnation. His lips were sealed
because He was bearing the sins 'of
the world.

The cry of the Jews, when. Pilatg
sought to free Jesus, as they dq«r
nianded His * crucifixion, was a ter
rible one; “JRs blood be on us, and
on our children." Their petition wa^
Answered, ..and the answer has con*
answered, and the- ansfer has con-.-
tinned for nineteen centuries, as tlxejj
have had to bear this blood accusa-r
tipn before the whole world."
But there is another sense
which their cry is. going to be fulfill
ed, and very different from that
which they meant it. Only whe&
the blood of Christ is “on” a liumajS;
being for redemption and cleansing
can one be saved; and this is coming
to pass for the nation that crucified
her own Messiah, In that day there
shall be a fountain opened to thfj W,
house of David and to the inliabi* tants of Jerusalem for sin and foil *
uncleanness” (Zech. 13:1). “Thorg
is a fountain filled with blood”; that
fountain will some day cleanse tliGI
Jews, “and so all Israel'shall be sav*
ed” (Rom. 11:20).. |
When Christ hung on the cros&.
redeeming us from the curse of tlie>
law and “being made a curse for us.*
(Gal. 3:13),
was brought
brought Him in the wilderness afferj
His baptism
of God, cast Thyself down” (Matt,.
4:6). “If He be the King of Israel,
let Him now come down from the
cross, and we will believe Him. He
trusted in God; let Him deliver Hina'
now, if He will have Him: CorFe
said, I am the Son of God.” And
Christ was victorious over both'
temptations, as over all. •
But let us remember that God did.
indeed deliver Him.' He did not de
liver Him “now” according to the
time set by men, and according to
their ideas of deliverance; but in
God’s own time, the third day laterj
the deliverance was complete and'
miraculous..
What has been called the “orphan
cry from the cross” was unique in
time and eternity. Why had God
forsaken Him? Modernists, who-
know not the Scriptures, say that
our Lord’s faith failed Him here,
and that He mistakenly thought God
had forsaken Him. No, the only be
gotten Son of God never made any
mistake, nor did His faith evei1 fail.
He" knew that His Father had for^
saken Him. As a commentator has’-'
pointed out, “Psalm 22:3 gives the'
answer to this significant and ter
rible qry.” It is the crucifix^piS
Psalm, which opens with the words
of this forsaken, cry; and the reason
for the separation between thh
Father and the Son is this: “Thou J
are holy, o Thou that inhabitest' the «'
praises of Israel.” God’s Son, pn
the Cross, was bearing, the sins, of the-
world, and was actually, though he
knew no sin, “made . ... sin for us
.... that we might be made the
righteousness of God in Him.” (H'
Cor. 5:21). God cannot fellowship ■
with sin, or look' upon, sin, and sn
Christ' was “forsaken.”
But no one took His life from Him".
He laid it down of Himself. (John
10:18). Just before I-Iis death He
was not weak apd exhausted. “Jesus
when He had cried again with a'
loud voice, yielded up the ghost?’’ ‘
The literal manner this, was done by
an act of His own. will. His death
was different from all other humanv.
experience of physical death. j
