CERTAINLY A MISTAKE, Those who have followed the good aoed movement In this state and (partkmlarlyi this county- will hardly approve o f the stand of «th* county oojmmieelonew in re* fusing to make any improvements tote year. Wo -understand a vote on this question came up some time ago, -WBHamson votings in the affirmative and Uonweli and Austin in ihe.nega- tlve. The reason given by the oppon­ ent* for their stand- Is that; the state fouild* too expensive roads. We -cannot agree with Messrs. Corn- well anUI Austin on- their position for the reason that -the county Is denied a Share In the ptate levy for good' roads and- also w ill fall to get any of the automobile license money for road re­ pair work. •The road- fund is supplied iby a three-tenths mill levy -under -what Is known as the 'Hite law. Each county seta an equal shore regard-less o f size. Greene county -would- get several thousand dollars more from this fund than what was paid In -by taxpayers. The fund tihie year provides 517,500 fo r .each county In the state, To get this the commissioners must furnish an 'equal amount Then the road -be­ comes a st^te road- and .will 'be main­ tained! 'by -the state, a great saying to the county. The -wear that is given the roads nowia-days requires a certain amount o f .work eadh year. To drop out one yepr only means- that much more work the succeeding year, and a Corres- <ppndling increase in the cost, 'We learn that last year -more than -54,000 was spent in the County for re­ pair work, this money coming from, automobile license fees. The eom- nridsiohers used this money to assist the various township trustees in im­ proving tlie roads. There toeing no provision this year for getting the state fund! means the -517,500 state money we are entitled,. ■fo will go to some other county, [Again we will not share in the state license fund, and! the township trus­ tees will suffer thte loss, , a ■ Pew know- it likely -tout Ced'arville and Jamestownafe the only towns in ithe county that have a north and south market road as -well as east and west, The Clifton- pike and the Col­ umbus pike pave tooth been made market roads antfi, once Improve will ' become state roads. Had this money been provided toy the commissioners the Jamestown pike, south of town could have been' repaired to meet the Improvement made last year. The (Columbus pike, west o f town, could also'have been Improved to meet, the Wllberforce improvement. Once these troads are completed jthe state will maintain them. I t appears to us the commissioners (have made a mistake -inallowing this money lo go elsewhere and 0/0 local fundls even .to keep the loads in r& fa ir, * 1r CLOSING OUT SALE. $89.00 International double disc harrow complete International single disc harrow complete............,,...,....$23.00 International. 8 fork bay tedder........ ............ ,.$29.50 International side delivery ra k e ............... $40.00 International Blue Bell Oream Separator No.- 2 ...... - ....... $48.00 International B lu eB e ll Oream Separator Wo I ................. .....,.$41.00 N o 17 IT. 8, oream separator.*,..$55.60 Gale Sure Drop corn plan ter....$81.00 ■ Gale Balance frame Hammock seat Cultivator.................. $21.00 , Gale 14- in. walking plow..,,.,......$12.00 Gale IB In, walk ing plow..... ....$11.00 j»3Bmplre 10-7 grain drill with fe rti­ lizer attachment and grass seed­ er complete with seat.,..*..,...—$70.00 N o , 4 new Idea Manure spread- $98.00 K o .lB N iic o Manure Spread- $98.00 Associated Gasoline.

M c C l e l l a n «>• *W9 UWPNB fRWPSW■ -MPA- By Pstsr Rsdford Lecturer National Tamers' Union The social duty of the rural church Is as much a part of its obligations as its spiritual side. In ejtpresBing its social Interest, the modem rural church dpes npt hesitate to claim that it is expressing a true religious in­ stinct and the old-time idea that the social. instincts should be starved while the spiritual nature was over­ fed with solid theological food, Is fast giving way to a broader interpreta­ tion of thfy functions of true religion. We take our place in the succession of those who have sought to make the world a fit habitation for the children of man when we seek to study and understand the social duty of -the rural churob. The true Christian re­ ligion is essentially social—its tenets of faith being love and brotherhood and fellowship. While following after righteousness, the church must chal­ lenge and seek to reform that social order' in which -moral life is ex­ pressed. While cherishing Ideals of service, the rural, church which at­ tains the fullest' measure of success is that -which enriches sb many lives as It can touch, and in no way can the churqh come in as. close contact with its members as through the avenue of social functions. The country (own and the rural community need a social center. The church need offer no apology for its ambition to fill this need In the com­ munity, if an understanding of its mission brings this purpose into clear consciousness. The structure of a rural community is exceedingly com­ plex; it contains many social groups, each of which has its own-center, but there are many localities which have but one. church and, although' Such a church cannot command the inter­ est, o f all the people, it is relieved from the embarrassment of religiously divided communities, Social Needs Imperative. The average country boy and girl have very little opportunity for real* enjoyment, and have; as a rule, a vague, conception of the meaning of pleasure and recreation. It is to fill this void In the lives of country youth that the rural church has risen to the necessity of providing entertain­ ment, as well as instruction, to Its membership among the young. The children and young people' of the church should meet when religion is not even mentioned. It has been found safest for them to meet fre­ quently under the direction and care of the church, To send them into the world With no social training exposes them to grave perils ahd to try to keep them out of the world with no social privileges is sheer folly. There is a social nature to both old and young, hut the social requirements of the young are imperative. The church must provide directly or indirectly some toddera equivalent for the husk­ ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing­ ing schools of the old days. In one way or another the social lnstinfcts of our young people must have oppor­ tunity fpr expression, which may take the form of clubs, parties, pic- nlcs or other forms of amusement. One thing is certain, and that' is that the church cannot take away the dance, the card party and the theatre unless It can offer In its place a sat? isfylng substitute In the form of more pleasing'recreation. ' Universal Instinct for Play. In providing for enjoyment the church ubos one of the greatest -meth­ ods by which human society has de­ veloped. . Association is never secure until It Is pleasurable; In play the in­ stinctive aversion of one person for another Is overcome and the social mood Is fostered. Play is the chief educational agency In rural commun­ ities and .in the play-day o f human childhood social sympathy and social habits are evolved. As individuals come together in social - gatherings, their viewpoint is broadened, their ideals are lifted and finally they con­ stitute a cultured and refined .society. It .is plain;- therefore, that the church which aims at a perfected so­ ciety must user in a refined and ex­ alted way the essential factors in social evolution and must avail Itself of the universal Instinct for piay. If the church surrounds Itself with social functions which appeal’to the young among Its membership, it will fill a large part of the lamentable gap in rural pleasures and will reap the richest reward by promoting a higher and better type of manhood and womanhood, MODISH MOIRE COAT.

O. SHLUERB, Aetin* XMraetor of Snnday School Court*, Moody Bible In­ stitute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR MARCH 14 SAUL. GAINS HIS KINGDOM. LESSON TEXT—I SeraueJ, chapter u, GOLDEN TBXT-He that is slow to an­ ger i» bettor than the mighty;-and he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.—Frov. 14:32. • In order to repay Israel's victory un­ der Jepthah, Nabasb the Ammonite de­ manded the right eye of those besieged in Jabesh in .Gilead, knowing that the left eye would he hid by their shields and they would thus be incapable of warfare. For Israel to make any cov­ enant with the Ammonites was con­ trary to God's commands (Ex. 23:"32 Deut. 28:8). . I. The Cry o f Jabesh, vv, 1-3, This event probably occurred about a month after the previous lesson. It "was proud, haughty demand made of these Israelites, Exhausted and hopeless they had offered to-become servants in order to live .. So today we frequent­ ly find men willing to compromise with the ,world and the devil, who only hold them In derision and contempt (r. 2). Compromising Christians are always blind leaders of the blind (Matt, 15:14; 6:22). The demand of Nabasb would also bring reproach upon Israel, yet thiB same king afterwards showed kindness to David (II.Samuel 10:2) History records that Emperor Basil II actually sept an army pf 14,850 sightless men back to the king of B.ul: garia, who died of grief and horror. II. The Conquest of Ammon, vv, 4- •11. NfahaBh granted the request for a seven days’ respite. Here was Saul’s opportunity—wrongs, to ha righted and people to be saved. Saul had held bis peace since being anointed by Samuel employing his time to everyday toil and duties (v. 6)j for the messengers did not find Saul at home idle* The tidings of this ipsult were told to the people who lifted up their voices and wept. (v. 4). The news of this threat­ ened calamity reached .Saul’s ears and his conduct effectually put to silence those "worthless fellows" who de­ spised h|m and had brought no pres­ ents at his anointing (10:27). Instead o f tears Saul is movent to deeds. Like CincinnatuB and Israel Futnam, he left the plow to take up the sword. Saul did not; in bis own strength, under­ take -to relieve Jabesh, for "the Spirit o f God came upon him" (v. 6;. see also Judges 3:10; lt;29 ; 13;25; Luke 24: 49; Acts 10:38). This moved Saul to gbger, not alone a t such an evidence o f cruelty, but more at the contempt Nahash had for God ahd Ills people Saul associated himself with Samuel, the man o f God, And summoned the na­ tion o f Israel to his side. The Holy SpirgL-gave Sgul clear as­ surance of a ^ b fr pm God, and he re-, •ponded wltk ;fbnqtie»tIoned faith .(Rom. 8:31). The people responded with great. rapidityr for the fear of God came upon (hem also:.. We have the good news o f a better deliverance from a more subtle foe to proclaim in the present age- They all resorted to Bczek, west -Of the Jordan. The messengers returned hearing a mes­ sage having two meanings (v. 10), and that helped to keep Nahash ignorant o f Saul's actions* on the other side of the river, Dividing his army Into com­ panies Saul attacked the enemy "in the morning watch,", and completely overwhelmed them and put them to, rout As the Ammonites had refused to show any mercy, they in turn were Judged unworthy o f mercy (v. 11, see also James 2:13; Matt. 7:2). III. The Drowning of Saul, vv. 12-15. Saul's victory so Impressed the people that they demanded to Know of Sam­ uel who it was that had refused him as king, desiring to put them to death. Saul showed his wisdom by not per­ mitting such a course of action. Many today refuse God's divinely appointed king who will yet be glad* to acknowl­ edge him (Luka 19:27; Phil. 2:10) In the next placed Saul did not claim credit for the victory for, Bald he, "The Lord hath wrought deliverance in Israel" (v. 13 R. V.). A ll real vic­ tories come from God (Ps, 44:4-8; ] Cor.-15:10), This was the true king­ ly spirit, Saul reaped the reward of his humility; his forbearance, cour­ age and activity in the loyalty and pride o f the people. Samuel gladly shared in the success of Saul and led the people to Gilgat for the crowning ceremony. This was the place where Israel had first encamped under the leadership of Joshua»and where the twelve stones from the river had been set up as a testimony to God's real pesence and deliverance, Saul had natural and physical char­ acteristics calculated to make him a great and useful king—self-restraint, modesty, military invention and a ca­ pacity for leadership. He waB shrewd, patient and gener­ ous. ’ He thus stood on the threshold of his’ kingdom with the possibilities of untold usefulness and blessing. We are "kings and priests .unto God." He has ushered us into his kingdom. Power, usefulness, influ­ ence, helpfulness, victory ove" sin are before Us, "Napoleon said that his nobility dated from Archie and Maren- go.
