a perfect cook... , ends
cooking failures ...makes
every meala delicious success.

)0 a person, on the average.
Then there are savings on food,
because your elentrio'range never burns or scorches .. , savings
on your ,budget, because you can make tasty meals using
inexpensive meats and "left -overs" ... savings on redecorating
expense,because flameless, sootiess electric cooking keeps your
kitchen so clean and fresh. -
Start cooking, the fast, clean, cool electric way and save
money. Today's range prices are very reasonable—and the

HURON COUNTY TO SPEND
$161, 454 ON ROADS THIS, YEAR
Huron County will spend $161,454
on its 400 mile system of: highways
this year, as compared with $147,
017,01, in 1937, an increase of 'ap-
proximately $15,000 This expendit`
are was sanctioned by County Coun-
cil in session, after the items had been
taken up separately in committee,
the report of the road committee was.
adopted.
The report recommends the taking
over of an additional 30 miles of
township roads. It also protests ag-
ainst the prosecution of motorists by
provincial traffic officers for petty
infringements of the Highway Act,
which' have been quite numerous of,
recent weeks.
No Action On Reforestatiotr
When members failed tc agree on
the method of procedure to get a
reforestation program under way, the
question was shelved until November.
Unanimous in their opinion as to
the necessity, of a reforestation pro.
gram being launched at once, mem-
bers debated at great lengths as to
whether a committee of five members
or the reeves of various townships,
should secure options on the likely
reforestation plots in the county. The
committee plan missed the mark by
just one vote when the yeas and nays
were'' taken. Some members, feeling
the county was being led into heavy
expense, urged extreme caution.
Hospitalization
Doctors and hospitals were raked
over the 'coals by reeves of different
municipalities for committing indig-
ent patients to hospitals without
proper investigation thus saddling
both the county and municipality with
unnecessary expense.
"Doctors and hospitals can give a
great deal more information on in-
digents than they are now doing,"
said Reeve Turner, of Goderieh. "They
treat patients, in hospitals when they
could just as well be treated at home.
Some doctors are abusing a privilege."
Favor Restricted Area.
Council voted in favor of making
Huron County a restricted T. B. area
and tabled the giving of a grant of
$250. to pay for education and initial
expenses in connection therewith.
Mr. A. Cosens, science master of.
Parkdale Collegiate, Toronto, on Fri-
day last received the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy from the University of

pastor of Ontario street church.

compenied by their daughter, Miss
Eleanor, left this morning for King-
ston and other points down east. At

uation exercises at the Royal Military

Taggart, having finished his course.

three hours; in the agony of a fear-
ful death a horrible piecing cry rings
out from that central cross, "My God,
my God, why hast thou forsaken me"
(w 34 and also 37).
By the anguish, pains, and terrors
which our Lord thus suffered we are
assured (God give us the assurance
of faith!) that the ancient prophecy
is at last fulfilled and that this Je-
sus is He of whom it was said, "He
is despised and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows and acquainted with
grief"; yes, and further, that we may
say, "Surely He hath borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows .... wound-
ed for our transgressions, bruised,
for our iniquities ... and with his
stripes we are healed," (Is. 53:3-5),
"The wages of sin is death", says
the Apostle (Rom. 6:23), and by ev-
ery recorded event in the narrative
of our lesson we are led, as by the Ww.r w
hand, to see this death suffered which
is the -wages of our sin. No mere ex-
ample of courageous self-sacrifice is
Golgotha's death, but the agony of
the fierce wrath of God poured out
upon sinful man—and the Son bf
Man, for our sakes, in his infinite
mercy, the Sole Object of that wrath.
Here is no event which can be du-
plicated—no not even in part -.by the
sacrificial love of the children of
men: only He could,, and did, become
bereft of God (and that alone is
•DEATH): He is the "propitiation for
ear sins", and, because He is the Son
of God, "not for ours only, but for
the sins of the whole world' (1 John
2:2,4:10). Our nature, our sin, and
the death which that sin merits from
our Just and Loving 'God, He, Jesus,
took upon Himself, that we should be
delivered from it all: Ile, "his own
self bare our sins in his own body on.
the tree, that we, being dead to sins,
should live 'unto righteousness" (1
Peter 2:24), •
What, then, shall we say to these
things? Shall we regard the finish -
The anguish, the pains, and the ter-
rors which our Lord suffered in our
stead are vividly set before us in our
lesson text: the awful event occurs at
"the place of a skull, Golgotha"
(v. 22); the patched lips are offered
a drink which can only be refused.
(v23); even the garments which cov-
ered the nakedness of the Son of Man
