That this council believes the
prosperity of Ontario depends upon
a healthy condition of agriculture
and would urge the government that
no reduction should be made in the
estimates of the Department of Ag
riculture.
That this council is of the opin
ion that steps should be taken to
prevent other than high grade cattle
being shipped to Great Britain.
‘That this council favors the grad
ing hogs, but is opposed to the pres
ent system of hog grading and would
recommend that an investigation be
undertaken to learn of a more satis
factory understanding.
That this council recommends 'a
substantial reduction in the costs of
education: especially a reduction in
salaries of High School teachers and
school inspectors and that all extra
grants for the teaching of special
subjects such as music, agriculture
etc., be dispensed with during the
present depression. The council feels
that these special subjects should be
continued but not paid for in addi
tion to the teacher’s regular salary.

Advisory Committee
The report of the Adivsory Com
mittee was taken up clause by clause
with Reeve Francis in the chair, and
1 adopted is follows:
1—In view of the fact that the
assessed value of property in cities
and separate towns, is in the ratio'
of 17 to 1 for rural districts and
considering that cities and separate
towns pay for provincial and county
highways in the ratio of 1 to 4.7
paid by the rural districts we res
pectfully ask that the Provincial
Government assume the full cost or
at least 90 per cent, of the cost of
provincial roads at the present time,
the rural taxpayer is contributing an
unjust share of this expense. Car.
That the Department of Education
take immediate steps to have certain
subjects now taught in the Lower
High School moved back to the cur
riculum of the public school, espec
ially civics, book-keeping, simple
science as applicable to farming,
nature study, all arithmetic and all
English spelling and grammar. Car.
That this council heartily endorse
the work accomplished by the Hur
on County Live Stock Improvement
Association and respectfully suggest
that their work be arranged so as to
benefit all classes of livestock'. Car.

of county councils. The tax rate
this year is unchanged at six mills—
3 1-2 for general purposes, 1 1-2
mills for county roads and one mill
for provincial highways. The latter
rate is the lowest of any county in
Ontario.
This county this year, will spend
$130,000 on county roads, which is
the same as last year, but it is ex
pected that much more will be ac

cost of labor and materials. Of the

JACOB THE AGED FATHER
Sunday, June 19,—Genesis 46: 1-7,
28-30; 47
Honor thy father' and thy mother.
(Exod. 20:12.)
The life story of Jacob is a remark
able illustration of two different
verses is a sentence spoken by Jac
ob himself in discouragement and
despair; the other was written by
the Apostle Paul by inspiration more
■than seventeen centuries later, and
is found in his Epistle to the Ro
mans. Here was Jacob’s cry of des
pair: "All these things are against
me” (Gen. 42:36), Here was Paul’s
shout of triumph: "And we know
that all things work together for
good to them that love God” (Rom.
8:28). When we are having a hard
time, when we are so completely “up
against it” that we can see no pos
sible way out, which is our verse?
Now the interesting fact is that
when old Jacob uttered his cry of
despair the very "all things” that he
said were against him were part of
the "all things” that were working
together for good in his behalf. Al
though this truth was not given to
Paul "■ ” ' ■“

Him was caring for Jacob. The aged
father was mourning because he had
been torn to pieces by wild beasts),
and because Simeon was a hostage
in Egypt, and now because his sons
wanted to take the youngest boy,
little Benjamin, away from him. ‘All
these things? ’thought broken-heart
ed Jacob, were against him—and
these were the very things that God
was using to provide for Jacob and
his great family in the most amaz
ing and satisfying way. Let us take
a page out of Jacob’s experience,
therefore, and look confidently to
the Lord Jesus Christ today, in the
strange and dark times of this
world-wide depression, to make "all
these things” work for us even while
they seem to be against us. If We
have received Christ as our 'Saviour
and have surrendered our lives fully
to Him as Lord, He has some wond
erful surprises ahead of us-—not only
when we get to Heaven, but now
and here on this earth.
News that sounded, too good to be
true had been brought back to Can
aan from Egypt by Jacob’s nine
sons. They actually told him that
Joseph, the boy he had given up
years ago for dead, was not only
alive and well, but was second only
to Phara/oh in reigning over the
great Egyptian Empire. Furthermore
Joseph had sent for his old father,
providing all that was needed for
comfortable transportation, and Jac
ob and his entire household were to
move down to Egypt and live there
on the fat of the land. Finally Jacob
.believed the wonderful story, and he
said: "It is enough; Joseph, my .son,
is yet alive: I will go and see him
before I dio.”
Israel (Jacob) set out on the long
journey, and at the very start of this
new experience "offered sacrifices
unto God "of his father Isaac.” And
God appeared to him, calling his
name twice: "Jacob, Jacob.” Then
God renewed His covenant and as
sured the old man of His presence
and protection in this new exper
ience.
"What a caravan it must have been
—of camels and wagons sent by Jo-
perial flocks and herds.
Then Joseph brings Jacob to
Pharaoh himself—and what do we
read. The simple statement, ‘Jaoufrb
blessed pharaoh? The patriarch of
God’s chosen people blessed the
greatest king of that day. For Ja
cob was God’s man, chosen by God’s
grace to be in the family line thro*
which all families of the earth were
and are yet to be blessed. Pharaoh
could not bless Jacob, but Jacob
could bless Pharaoh. There is a
quaint old English sentence in the
Epistle to the Hebrews that throws
light on this dramatic meeting be
tween the two men; "And without
all contradiction the less is blessed
of the better?’ .Heb. 7:7.)
There were no more problems of
food or finance or unemployment
for Jacob and his sons and their
families. God was giving a practi
cal demonstration of what he au
thorized Paul tO‘ say to the Philip-
pians and to every child of God:
"But my God shall supply all your
need according to I-Iis riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.” He proved to- Ja
cob and to Joseph, and to the un
worthy brothers, that He "is able
to do exceeding abundantly above all
that we ask or think?’ (Eph. 3:20.)
