County Auditor Faulkner was the only member o f the budget commission that appeared here Thursday afternoon when the tax rate was established for the vil- Inge, school district and the township. The rate for the village will be 15.8mills which on an increased tax duplicate will enable council to have moTe revenue. The past year the revenue did not meet the fixed charges. The school district will have a rate of •4.10mills which will sufficient money for the schools and new building through the interest and sinking fund. The township will pay 2 mills which will supply about $4500 for road work. Auditor Faulkner had everything , figured out so that the officials present cotlld see just what would be due next, year.

It is a very large qffair, about 100,(100 Children tak­ ing part this yeur. For such an im­ mense. number to take part in one pro- cession is, o f course, impossible. ■The city Is divided iuto districts and in each district the children of the Sunday schools have full sway for that day. The parade or walk is accompanied by bahdsmf music and life and drum corps and the-little folks enjoy themselves hugely. After the" walk the paraders are regaled with, ice cream and cake at the various churches to which the Sunday schools, belong. Sometimes the participants appear in costumes o f va­ rious periods of .history and very pret­ ty they look.

Advice to. Swimmers, livery one knows enough not To go in swimming right after a meal. Most boys know enough to wait au lio'ui (.ti­ er an ordinary meal and longer after a particularly hearty one. Hut not all of them know enough not to go-ihto the water while they are overheated.

Following the lesson of .last week wo have (eh, 18:1-10 the interesting account of Allah’s search for Elijah and of the. prophet’s meeting with Oba- dlab. Verses 5 and C suggest the se­ verity o f the drought in the land. Almb’i! accusation,. “Art thou ho that troubleth Israel,” is replied to by Ell-" jah’B challenge regarding a contest be­ tween himself, the representative of Jehovah, and tho king’s prophets rep- resenting Baal, (vv, 17-25), In accord­ ance with the stipulations the prophets of Baal accei>ted the challenge and most miserably failed (vv, 20-29). The place of this dramatic contest was Mt. Carmel (see map) and tho time prob- ably I). C. 906r , I. Elijah's Preparation vv. 30-35. On Carmel’s crown now swarms a count­ less throng • With one brave soul to stand for God ’Gainst millions in the wrong. —George L. Taylor. .Elijah'gave the 450’ prophets of Baal and the 400 priests of the graves (v .. 10) eve y advantage possible that ho inighi: the more, clearly unmask their error and make more signal their de­ feat. Their frenzied cries and self- injury continued fruitlessly until 3:00 p, m. Then Elijah announces the de­ tails which were to remove all possible doubt as to whose-champlon he was or av I io is to answer his petition, (a) Ho calls tho people together (v. ’30) draw­ ing: them" nigh to God and challenging their undivided attention after the con­ fusion produced by the priests and their consternation over their defeat, (b) He constructs the altar (vv. 30-31). Any true and lasting reforma­ tion must begin at the altars of God, Restore one in the heart, the home and churqh and there will return to •all unity and strength. Note Elijah’s, insistence upon an undivided nation, as suggested by .the “twelve stones.” While any lasting reformation must begin in the Individual heart; still if it is true and genuine it will work it­ self out in the nation, “Israel shall be thy name,” The "prince that prevails jswith God,” who had wrought for their fathers, who answered Jacob’s prayef, is now about to answer Elijah. This .altar was not constructed as a monu-. merit to departed one, nor for the or-, namentatlou of the house ofGofi. It was In God's first cathedral and for his glory alone, ‘ On .this altar Elijah placed his sacrifice. Again Israel is to prevail over,,its enemies, this time those within, .not those from without, (c) He covered the altar (vv, 33,34) ©. g., poured wa-. ter upon ft to remove all possible ac­ cusation o f fraud or trickery, The trench "as great as would contain two measures of seed” (V. JS2) is equivalent to six gallons. Three times water was taken from the spring, still flowing a,t this place, and poured upon the altar, twelve jars in all again symbol­ izing the twelve tribes, II. Elijah’s Prayer, vv, 86,37. The great prophet even could only secure through pf^yor his desired blessing though its purpose was “ that this peo­ ple may know that thou Lord art God.” His prayer was; (a). Addressed to God; (b) Grounded upon experience, that of “Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;’ (o) It was for one purpose, the honor of that uamo; (d) It was to sanction his act in calling forth the drought upou Israel as a punishment for the sins of princes, priests and people; (e) It was founded upon the word of Jehovah, to corroborate and to afllrrn the works done "at thy word;' (f) It was for the -conversion o f the people, that their hearts might be turned back to JehoVah once more. Elijah, the man of faith, staked his j all upon the Word o f God, ho gave ’ himael up wholly to tiie plana and purposes o f God, and relied explicitly upon the covenant-keeping God. * III. God’s Power, vv* 38-40. Wo are confident Elijah had never seen fire fall and that ’ he' must have realized tho av/ful catastrophe involved if It did not fall. Yet ho fearlessly makes his plea and the lire fell. It was not an accidental stroke o f lightning. God, the creator, worked upon the laws of nature, his servant, and wrought con­ fusion to his enemies. It would be a otyange God and father who could not ueo his own laws and creation to pro­ duce a moral effect. Tho, abundance of proof was that not only tho offering^, but'tho water and tho very stones o f tho altar woro consumed. Risking all, all is won. What, wo need everywhere is men who will follow in Elijah’s stops in order that tho lire of God may coma upon us. There, remained no longer any doubt, God is God, Rant is a sham. So they “ fell on their faces,” yot in splto of the victories'of God men to­ day rofuso to render unto him like obedience and worship.
