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-

INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
(By E. O. 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. .
Cold tongue will be entirely skin-
ned if cold water is’run over, it for a
# When hotfgrease has been spilled
on oor or table, you can prevent its
spreading by } ouring cold water on
it at once.
_ Cane chair seats that have sagged
may be tightened by washing the seat
in hot soapsudsygand letting it dry ir
the open air.
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
