nant. original sin was typ1cally atoned
for by the typical sacrifices. and the
people were held to account for their
transgressions Of the Law. Hence.
amongst the Jews. serious sickness i'm
piled serious sins.
We are not to forget that such spe

that they never applied to Gentiles

Covenant with the Church, nor with
the world in general today. Hence
the righteous are often sick, and SIN

Authority to Forgive Sins.
There are certain great, basic prin-
eipes relating to Gods dealings with
humanity which should be recognized:
Jehovah's Government is based. not
upon mercy, but upon Justice; as we
read. Justice is the foundation OF my
Throne" In one sense of the word
Divine Justice never forgives and new
or can do so, as we will explain. we
read. ..All His work is perfect" Man
was thus created perfect, in the image
and likeness of the Creator, and there
fore needed no provision for mercy so
long as he was in relation with his
God.
When temptation came, man fell
from Divine favor and life into disfa
vor and under the death sentence. But
another feature of the Divine charac-
fer, Love, was brought into exercise Tor
mans relief. But Divine Love or Mer-
cy could not override or interfere with
Divine Justice. In other words, Coo
could not forgive sinner whom he
had sentenced to death. What He
could and did do, was to provide IN
due time for mans redemption All OF
Divine Mercy. therefore. flows through
the channel Of redemption.
The Philosophy of the Forgiveness OF
Sins.
Applying this principle to our Savior
and His teachings. we ask. How could
He forgive sins when Divine Justice
could not forgive sins. nor set ASIDE
tie penalty Of sin? The answer is.
Jesus was the representative or DIVINE
Mercy, and was at that time amongst
men for the purpose of giving His life
as a sacrifice on mans account, and
therefore to Him belonged the distinc-
tive honor Of forgiving sins.
However, His surrender OF His all
did not give Him the authority to Tor

Trouble Over Armory Rentals.

Pierre.-There appears to be more
or less difficulty at several places in
the state at present in regard to arm
DRY rentals. vouchers coming to the
state auditor being looked upon by
that department as not in compliance
with law. The trouble appears to be
that rentals have been allowed to get
behind schedule, and that the bills
which are coming in are to cover time
back Of the beginning OF the present
fiscal year. and such bills are failing
to receive the endorsement OF the
auditor. All bills for rentals within
the fiscal year since July 1 are being
cared for, but nothing back of that
time can be allowed by the depart
ment. and that appears to be the
cause OF the trouble.

SELL ONLY THE FRESH EGGS
Some Farmers Deliberately Impose on
Small Merchants by Giving
Goods Known to Be Stale.

(By A. q. PHILLIPS, Ramsay
Selling eggs is one Of the handiest
ways for the farmer to get cash
or trade return for his produce, during
all parts Of the year, and II he can
increase the efficiency Of the machin-
cry which produces and handles these
eggs he is putting into his pocket good
hard cash.
Almost every housewife who Is
compelled to buy eggs constantly
clamors for some method which she
may pursue in order to always get
fresh eggs. There is no housewife
who has not some time or other had
the great displeasure Of handling spoil
ed or rotten eggs. This almost con-
slant occurrence, with the possible
exception Of the winter months, prac-
tically compels those who lecture and
carry on experiment station work to
plead with the farmers who produce
the eggs to put onto the market bet
ter produce.
: The egg loss each year is enormous
and Is beyond all reasonable justifica-
ton. and the blame lies, at least in
part, with the farmer for the following
two reasons:
First, some few farmers deliberate
ly take to market eggs which they
know are not fresh, because they know
