Subject-Jesus and Nicodemus -
John 4: Ito. Read the whole chap
ter
Golden Text-"For God SO loved
the world. that He gave His only be
gotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in HIM should not perish but have
everlasting life.
There must have been great deal
OF talk about the wonderful things
that Jesus was doing how he had
turned water into wine, and driven the
trader out of the Temple with whip.
he was poor and despised by many
people because He was a laboring
man; and many bated Him because
He was good and called Himself the
Son of God
There was one of the Pharisees
named Nicodemus, who knew that
Jesus came from God because no one
else could do such miracles. Nico-
demus belonged to the council that
afrerward condemned Jesus to death,
but he was not against Him, so he
came to Him by night.
Jesus knew Nicodemus-for He
knows all things and all men-and
told him at once that there is only
one way to get into Heaven. There
must be a complete change wrought
in every man. This change must be
new birth, Except man be born
again, he cannot see the Kingdom OF
God"
So the only hope is in the Holy
Spirit, who cannot be seen any more
than the wind, but who alone can
perform this wonderful regeneration
or making over new. Nicodemus
could not understand such a thing,
but we can, for we have the Spirit S
statement in His Book, "Whosoever
believeth that Jesus is the Christ is
born of God" And He also says of
Jesus, LAS many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the
sons of God, even to them that be-
lieve on His name; which were born
of God.
And then Jesus told Nicodemus
plainly the way to be saved. He re-
minded him of the time when the
Jews had sinned against God, and He
had sent fiery serpents into their
camp, which were biting and killing
the people; and when they had no
hope they called on God. and He told
I Moses to put brass serpent on pole
so that every one could see it, and
whoever looked on it was saved. And
then Jesus said, CAS- Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness, even SO
must the Son of man be lifted up;
that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal
life. For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlast-
ing life"
When Jesus was afterwards lifted
up on the cross, and paid our debt,
all people could know just what He
m cant by believing and being born
again.

can be done in good road building, with
united effort and the use of prison labor, Is
furnished from Oaeida county, New York

poets by these means to get about three
miles of macadum road, at the very low
price of less thaa $1,000 per mile. The
town purchased conveniently located
quarry for a lew hundred dollars. 1t gives
the use of this quarry to the county for get
ting out the stone, pays the county twenty
five cents per yard for getting out, crush.
ing, asserting and screening the stone, and
then public spirited citizens of the town
haul this stone upon the road, where the
county does the work of road building with
the jail prisoners as laborers. The cost Of
hauling the stone would be about $500,
but this work is performed by farmers who
give the service for the benefit the town
will receive by having good road Vernon
village bonded itself for 800 to help pay
for the stone. The town voted to turn in
the receipts from excise, about $40, to the
same fund.- and there was raised by sub.
