SUBSCRIPTION rOR NEW PICKWICK ROAD Paper Is In Hands Os Roy Riddle To Complete Local Contract A subscription paper for funds to enable the opening of Pickwick road is in the hands of Roy Riddle and local people who are interested may now subscribe their share of the S4OO (approximate) necessary to take care of the damages awarded by the commissioners to Pickwick residents. The road is now ready to be turned over to the township trustee but this cannot be done until the terms of the contract are complied with. One of the provisions provides for the payment of S4OO for the private road constucted through Pickwick and another provision requires the signatures of citizens who will guarantee that the road will be kept in good shape for the following ten years. This road is a very good thing for everyone. It opens up a pretty drive on the lake shore and futhermore it is a convenience in the matter in which it shortens the distance around the lake. We hope our citizens will see fit to meet, the requirements so that this highway may be used this summer. W. C. T. U. Next Saturday afternoon June 13 the W. C. T. U. will hold their annual market at Colwell and Gordy’s plumbing shop. If any one should be missed by the solicitors, just leave your donation any time from 9 o’clock in the morning till closed in afternoon at place above mentioned, any thing in eatable line will be very highly appreciated by the Union.

Will Have Shower Baths Unique steps will be adopted to add to the comfort of summer travel on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, as set forth in a circular just issued providing for the deodorizing of live stock trains in transit. No longer will the sense of smell suffer shock once the new rule goes into effect, nor will obnoxious odors be detected when passenger trains meet long strings of live stock cars on the way to the packing houses, for the new plan provides that hogs be showered. These shower baths will be administered at terminals and at resting stations at which the live stock is fed and watered. Attention will be given to the cleanliness of cattle, horses and sheep, so that the cars in which they are hauled may be cleaned en route. The railroad has not decided how many live stock bath houses will be required to carry out the requirements of the new order, but it. is argued that added to the comfort which the traveling public will enjoy as a result of it the animals will be in better condition upon arrival at destination.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson XL—Second Quarter, For June 14, THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Luke xviii, 9-14; xftc, 1-10—Memory Verses, 19, 10—Golden Text, Mark ii, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Perhaps there are no people more difficult to deal with or to live with than those who. like the Pharisees, pride themselves upon their own righteousness. which in the sight of God is only as filthy rags (Isa. Ixiv, 6> and can in no case entitle one to enter the kingdom (Matt v, 20). The righteousness which is required by God must be absolutely perfect, an unbroken law, for “whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point be is guilty of all” (Jas. it 10). The law is so holy and righteous that no sinful man can keep it and it was never intended to give life, but to prove our guilt, shut our mouths and lead us to Christ, who is God’s perfect righteousness and the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. There is no Saviour or salvation for a righteous man in the Bible—that is. for such as think themselves righteous —but only for sinners. In connection with the murmuring of the Pharisees when our Lord called Matthew or Levi, the publican, and Levi made Him a feast in his own house, at which a great company of publicans and others were present, our Lord said: “They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Luke v. 31,32). On another occasion He said to the chief priests and elders. “Verily I say unto you that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you” (Matt, xxl, 23, 31). To this day there are churchgoers and church members who. “being ignorant of God’s righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God” (Rom. x, 3). It is indeed a fearful thing to be satisfied with oneself and have no conviction of sin. In the first part of our lesson today the Pharisee did not pray to God, did not ask God for anything, did not seem to need anything, but prayed < with himself and told God what a good man he was and how much good he did and how thankful he was that he was not a bad man nor even like that publican. Truly he was well satisfied with his righteous self. The publican had no goodness to prove his righteousness, nothing good to say of himself, but he did have a consciousness of his own sinfulness, and from his heart he said. “God be merciful to me, a sinner.” In the margin of the revised version it is, “God be propitiated to me, the sinner.” Weymouth has it, “O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.” The Lord Jesus Christ, who reads all hearts, the only Saviour of sinners, the only Judge of all men. said that the . publican went to his home justified. I like the definition of justification which I learned in Sunday school when I was a boy, and, if I remember correctly, it read thus: “Justification is an act of God’s free grace, wherein He pardoneth all our sins and accepteth us as righteous in His sight only for the righteousness of Christ, imputed unto us and received by faith alone.” In the second part of our lesson we have a rich publican who had a desire to see Jesus, and, though he did not seem to have the same conviction of sin as the poor publican, he. too, was welcomed and saved. He was a prominent man. chief among the publicans. He was not prominent as to his physical appearance, for he was little of stature. He was not what one might call dignified, for he ran and climbed up into a tree. His thought evidently was to see without being seen. How surprised beyond measure he must have been to see Jesus look up and to hear Him call him by name and to hear Him say. “Make haste and come down, for today I must abide at thy house” (verse fi). Was this something exceeding abundantly above all that Zaccheus had ever thought to come his way. or was it the Saviour’s recognition of a desire which He had actually seen in the heart of this man? (Eph. ill. 20; Ezek. xi. 5; Ps. cxlv, 19.) I cannot tell, but I do know that the “handfuls of purpose” which the Lord drops for those who seek Him and for those who seek to serve Him are truly wonderful (Ruth ii. 13, 16). We do not wonder that Zaccheus made haste and came down and received Him joyfully (verse 6). Any one but a Pharisee would if he only understood what it meant. According to John 1, 12. Zaccheus thus became a child of God and according to I John ii, 12. had there and then the forgiveness of his sins—freely justified, as was the other publican. There is only one salvation and one way of salvation for rich or poor. It was foreshadowed in the atonement money of Israel, concerning which it was commanded, “The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel” (Ex. xxx. 11-15). That which Zaccheus said he did in verse 8 was part of the evidence that he had become a child of God. for. while no works of ours can obtain or help to obtain salvation., the good works must follow as a result (Eph. 11, 10; Tit Hi. B». Weymouth translates: “Here and now I give. * * * I pledge myself to <e=pay to him four times the amount” —New furniture for the Spring trade is arriving at Beckman’s store.
