THE GRAND JURY’S REPORT. » We examined the new sewage dis- - completed on the county home farm, and so far as we have been able to observe and learn, it is giving entire satisfaction. ] The recommendation of the May court grand jury aso the improve- ment of the heating system in the county home buildings thas been com- plied with. The heating plant has been remodeled as to conduits and return lines between the plant and the several buildings and wrapped with asbestos. The en- gineer at the heating plant informed us that only one-half the amount of fuel formerly used is now required, and the buildings are more uniformly hated. - ! We recommend the following im- provements as soon as the board of. poor direetors san conveniently make them: The purehase of a new refrige- rator for the better preservation of meats. The erection of a new pig sty. A gradual improvement in the dairy herd by purchasing a better strain of milk cows. Better appear: ance of the grounds surrounding the buildings. The grand jury desires to commend tie management of the county home and hospital on the condition of the buildings and inmates as to cleanli- ness and order, and only ask for the continuanee of the same, endeavor- ing at all times to secure a better de- gree of care for all the inmates of the institution. The grand jury was composed of the following: Hon. John C. Weller of Milford township, foreman; Har- ry Bepler of Salisbury; B. A. Bittner of Lincoln township; Frederick Brant, Henry Dickey, James 8S. Hauger, George Krissinger, and Lewis Mausb Cupp, Austin Kell and William Weg- ley of Somerset township; G. H.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 14 THE SIN OF ACHAN. LESSON TEXT—Joshua 7:6-15. [Read Joshua chapters 7-11. GOLDEN TEXT—“Be sure your sin will find you out.”—Num. 32-23. Before proceeding against Jericho, God, through his servant Joshua, had given strict injunctions as regards the taking of anything from the city for self-enrichment, ch. 6:17, 18. It was necessary at the outset of this cam. paign to safeguard Israel against any such motives. The fruits of their vic- tories must in no way seem to be the rewards of, nor to be dependent upon, the efforts of their own hands. Spir- itual victories are, as we learned last week, won by means and upon prin- ciples utterly foolish and inadequate in the view of human wisdom. Nor is the Christian dependent upon the principles of human thrift for his sus- tenance jor enrichment. That does not ‘mean the divorcement of the Chris- tian from those principles. : The story of Achan is an illustra tion. While his sin was individualistic yet it was national in its results (v. 1.) After the fall of Jericho, Joshua sent a detachment of 2,000 or 3,000 men to take possession of the small town of Ai (literally, ‘“ruins”). The task was seemingly an unimportant and an easy “minute after it is thoroughly cooked. Household Notes. Cheese is very nourishing and wholesome when prepared with maca- roni,; potatoes or bread crumbs. Wash and rinse cut glass in water that is not very hot and of thef same temperature for each operation. Never . keep bread wrapped in a cloth, as the cloth will absorb mois- ture and impart an unpleasant taste. Plain sausage is delicious served with butter melted and flavored with a little chopped parsley poured over it. Wheng kitchen towels wear thin, stitch two of them together around the edges and diagonally across the center. Brown sugar is a very delightful sweetening for cereals.; (It gives them a much richer flavor than grann ated sugar. .

Biscuits may be shaped in a great varietyd of ways, but they should al- ways be small. Large biscuits, though equally good, never tempt one with their daintiness. A teaspoonful of camphor added to a quart of soft water will kill earth- one, but the result was that the expe- dition was turned into a miserable rout (vv. 1-6). Achan’s Sins Revealed: The stages of the sin of Achan are wonderfully revealed in the confession =—“] ‘saw... J coveted I took ./ they are hid.” 1. Joshua’s error, vv. 69. It was right and proper for Joshua to bring his difficulty to God, but it was not right for him to lay upon him the blame for his defeat. Mases before him had made that same mistake (Ex. 5:22, 23), and it would seem that Joshua should have profited thereby. In this, however, he is supremely hu- man. We of today with far greater light are constantly making this same mistake of accusing God, instead of finding out and judging our sin. There is, however, an underlying note of the master passion of Joshua's heart, that note which had so gov- erned the heart of his predecessor, Moses. It is expressed in the last note of his complaint, “What wilt thou “do for thy great name?” v. 9. This com- plaint and petition sounds very much like those of the preceding’generation uttered in the wilderness. For us to wish ourselves to be “content to dwell beyond Jordon,” when the testing times of our Christian life come, when the calls come for an advance, is to doubt his wisdom. No wonder Joshua was amazed when he saw Israel turn its back upon its enemies (v. 8). We must beware lest we, too, be dismayed ‘when we see the church of today give ‘way before the world and the devil. "iI. The cause of ‘defeat, vv. 10-12. Joshua's petition is answered by the voice of Jehovah in terms of rebuke, strong, yet tender. In verse two we are told that Joshua sent men to view Ai. Why? Because in the language of verse one “the children of Israel com- mitted a trespass in the accursed thing.” Joshua wanted the people to know that the sin of Achan and its results was the sin of the whole na- tion. God brings the essential one- ness of the nation before us in verse eleven; for an illustration, see I. Cor. 5:1-7 and 12:12-14, 16. God’s Instructions. ill. The victory of defeat, vv 13-15. Tt is a testimony as to the spiritual condition of this nation.that the fraud was so soon located. The early Chris- tian church had a parallel incident in the case of Ananias and Sapphira, Acts 5:1-11. In each case the evil ‘was quickly/judged and reveals the close- ness of God to his people. In the pro- cess of years Israel passed from that condition; has the church of today so passed? God had given expligit in- structions as to the spoil (ch. 6:18 R. V.). God commands Joshua not to cry unto him, but to “sanctify the peo- ple” The church of Christ, as well as the individual, needs to judge its sin and to set itself apart unto God. It was a stern judgment and the query arises what sort of bonfire would the church have today were all sinfully acquired property to suffer similar destruction. It is noticeable, however, that there is no suggestion of any confession on the part of Achan until the narrowing circle of judge- ment had closed upon him. He con- fessed only when there was no pos- sible escape. This seems like a stern, hard process, but yet God was deal- ing. in mercy with the whole people. IV. The Golden Text. The words of this text were uttered by Moses to the two and a half tribes who settled on the east of Jordan, that in case they refused to come to the help .of their brethren in the conflict necessary to the possession of Canaan, their sin would discover them. This lesson war- rants the application of this principle. A sin against God results in injury to your neighbor. ' It is a sin not to help your neighbor and conversely to in- dulge in any act which results in the defeat, moral or otherwise, of those with whom we associate, is 1s and liver and purifying > blood.
