The reeve reported that since last meeting he had awarded the cleaning out of the south branch of the Halle- han drain to William Connelly at Sem per rod. • The clerk was instructed to notify the township engineer, requesting him to have his survey and report completed forthwith on the CoO`k and McGowan drains. A by-law was read and passed fix- ing the following rates of taxation for the present year, as follows: County rate, 6.5 mills; township rate, 3 mills; and general school rate, 3.5 mills on the' dollar. Ratepayers can look for no reduction in their taxes this year, for though the county rate is the same as last year, the township rate is six -tenths of a mill higher than in 1926. The collector presented his bond, the same being accepted as satisfac- tory. • The following accounts were order- ed paid: Ken. Patterson, cement, $2.4o; S. Hutchison, repairs to grader, $9.5o; C.

RELAY HORSE RACING AT THE WESTERN FAIR An innovation at the Western Fair in September will be a relay refining horse race for which the Association is Offering substantial prizes. The re- lay teams will consist of three horses; and riders, each horse to run over a mile course and the jockeys will be required to pass a baton or flag to the succeeding rider in the team, within a fifty foot area at the etart- ing post. Horse racing, the sport of kings, never fails to enthuse sport lovers and a relay running race pro- vides excitement and an added thrill which holds the onlookers spellbound untirt'he last horse has crossed under the wee. This relay race will be in the na- ture of a Township competition as entries are being accepted from town- ship teams throughout Western On- tario and from the enthueiasin being shown the Exhibition authorities ee.- peat 'that several heats will be requir- ed to decide the winner. Teams com- posed of bona fide farmers are eligible and there will be no lintit to the num- ber of entries from any one town- ship. However, aa it may be neces- sary to confine the number of entries to within reasonable limits the West- ern Fair officials suggest that pros- pective competitors secure full infor- mation and entry forrns as soon as possible and make entries without de- lay.

Golden Text—A broken and a con- trite heart, 0 God, Thou wilt not elespise.—Ps. 51:17. The Lesson and its Setting. Time—B.C. 1043 or 1042 (Beecher). Place—David's palace in "the city of David," in Jerusalem. David's Great Sin. And Jehovah sent Nathan unto Da- vid. It was a year after David's sin, ind.very likely the king's conscience was hardened. Nathan was the pro- phet of Divid,'s reign, the strong re- ligious teacher who took the place of the dead Samuel. And he came unto him, and said unto him. His ventur- ing thus to address the king proves his courage and also his position of influence in the kingdom. This device of an imagined case was employed Iv Joab and the wise woman of Tekoa in their intercession with Solomon for Absolom, also by the prophet who rebuked Ahab. for letting Ben heeled go. There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. It is not necessary to suppose that Urieli vtras literally a poor man, for his house was near the king's, an . he was one of the king's chief warriors; but he was poor compared with David, poor in money, poor in influence and power, poor in all the outward ele- ments of happiness and prosperity. The rich man had .exceeding many flocks and herds. Flocks and herds constituted wealth in Palestine. David was afterwards to remember that he had several wives and, UrieW had one; David was surrounded by those who would give him loving care, he was rich in affection. But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up. A ewe is a female, sheep, Note how Nathan em-, phasizes the man's poverty bit h not a sheep btit a lamb, and not, a lamb but a little lamb. And it grew together with him, and with his chil- dren. It was a household pet. The grief of the children' over the loss of the lamb is a tender touch, immensely adding to the rich man's iniquity. • Xt did eat of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup. The poor man ehar- ed with the lamb his cake of bre id and cop of milk, And lay iti his hiss - out, and was unto him as a daughter. What stronger terms could be used to describe the poor man's affection for the trusting little animal? And there came & traveller unto the rich man. The traveller had no par:d- iet itt the actual case, but Merely serv- ed as the oceasiote for the infamy of the rich man. And he spared to take of his own flock and of his awn herds to dresa for, the wayfaring man that was come unto him. -Thus David was not content with his own wives and his own home, where was affectiun enough to satisfy any right-thi .kine man, but must 'make a cruel 'riroad, into another home, But took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. And David's anger was greatly in.. died against the man. Nathan had stated his ease, but had not for nahe asked the king to judge it, Oavid knew, however, that the wrong had been placed before him in order that he might pass judgment upon it, fer the king was also a judge in those days so near to the perio oc tee judges, and doubtless David often sat upon the judge's bench, heard cases, 'and gave his verd,ict. And he said to Nathan, As Jehovah liveth, the man that hath done this is worthy to die. The killing of the lamb moved him more than the slaughter of a man and the ensnaring of a -woman. He shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. The ancient Greek translation, the Septuagint, far more ancient than any Hebrew manuscript of the Old Testament that we Pos sess, represents David as indigr antly demanding a "sevenfold" restoration; but fourfold was the legal penalty for the theft of a sheep, laid down in Ex. 22:1, and illustrated in the case of Zacchaeus. And Nathan said unto David. Thou art the man.

Ever since they heve been used to carry swift conviction to self- deceiving sinners. Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel. David had con- demned the fictitious rich man with the solemn utterance, "As Jehovah liveth." I anointed thee king over Is- rael. Nathan reminds David if his threefold consecration to be he shep herd of his people, and now the shep herd has stolen a poor man's one lamb! And I delivered thee o it of the hand of Saul. More than once the Lord had spared David's life when it was threatened by a mad monarch, and see how David himself tad ruthlessly slain an innocent man that he might safely gratify his lust! And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy' bos- om. There is no record thae David actually married Saul's wives, though a king had according to eastern cus- tom, the right to take to himself P. e widows of his predecessnir on the throne. And gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah. That is, the throne, first of Judah and then of all Israel. And if that had been too lit- tle, I would have added unto thee such and such things. See how liberal God is in His gifts; we are not strait- ened in Him. - Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in His sight? Nathan was a true prophet of the Loll in thus setting David's sin against Jehovah above his sin against Uriah and 13ath-sheba. Thou hast Smitten Uriah the Hiteite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife. We may be sure that David had never stated his dou- ble sin plainly to himself; sinners do not deal plainly with themselves. And hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. David had in- creased his sin by actually employing the enemies of his nation to murder one of the brave soldiers of his na- tion. Now therefore the sword shall nev- er depart from thy house. The sword which David had used in murder was turned against his own sons, three of whom died violent deaths that were connected with David's sin. Because thou hast despised Me, and hest tak- en the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. In despising God's com- mandments, David had despised God,. David Forgiven. And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. The Lord did not require man words from Da- vid, for He could look' upon David's heart. "I have sinned against Jelin vah" is as good as an oration. Re- pentance is a decisive turning ofa lifes' direction away from the sin it has been pursuing, and direction can be revel -sect in an instant; And Na- than said to David, Jehovah also bath put away thy sin. The prophet could not put away David's sin, but with insight given him by Jehovah he could declare God's mercy and divine forgiveness. Thou shalt not die. Na- than meant, of cottrse, that the Icing should not lose his life at the band,: of, the God whom he had so terribly offended; but there is hidden in the id)eroatmhisc zhaidrieslevaasseinfirmominetntrifsjt)hireitudai! vine mercy had not drawn David from the pit.

In some places, especially in the towns, it is a paying proposition for the munici- pality because, there being no sheep to kill, there can be no losses and the revenue from the dog tax comes in just .the same Some townships do not find it such a profitable business.
