NEW ROAD LAW EXPLAINED
r. =. RAIDER Tells How Benefit Assess.
ment Road Districts Operate,

Those interested in good roads will
find the explanation of the mutual
benefit assessment road district made
by Perry S. RAIDER, author of the law,
worth noting. Mr.. RAIDER made his
talk before the Commercial Club
Thursday afternoon.
The cost of road is charged
against the abutting property. All
land on each side of the road within
mile pays in the ratio of 100. All
land within two miles on each side
of the road pays at the ratio of IS; all
within three miles at %. Beyond
three miles the payment is the same
as in the 3-mile zone. However. few
roads would be over three miles apart.
The assessment is on an acreage
basis. 1t would work this way: if the
land within one mile paid 81 an acre.
the land within the second and third
zones would pay IS cents and % cents
an acre respectively.
If the majority of the acres within
a district petition the County Court
benefit district may be formed and
bonds issued for five, ten or twenty
years. 1t takes at least 1000 acres to
form a district There is no limit to
the size of the district except that it
cannot go out of one county into
another. nor can it take i'm an incor-
pOrated town. A board of commission
ers would manage the district.

may sympathetically enter into those

Jesus and the Apostles were Jews,
and were under the Law Covenant
until Jesus by His death became
"the end of the Law for righteousness
to every one that believeth." Since
then Jesus followers are In no sense
bound by the Jewish Law. In dealing
with the House Of Sons God, through
the Head of that House, has set up a
new Law, which means much more
than Moses Law was understood TO
signify. It is the Law of Love Jesus
said: "a new commandment l give
you, That ye love one another as l have
loved you"
Early in the Gospel Dispensation
Jesus followers began TO meet on the
first day of the week. Jesus arose
from the dead on that day, and appear
ed several times to His followers. APP
parently it became a custom amongst
the disciples to fellowship on that day,
because Of their desire to remember
the Master. Quite probably they kept
the Sabbath as well, for a time. Evil
IDENTIFY they had difficulty in realizing
how completely they had passed from
the domination Of Moses Law to be
under the Headship of Jesus.
To Do Good on the Sabbath.
Jesus did many of His miracles on
the Sabbath, partly no doubt to en-
phasize the fact that the Great Sab
bath. the seventh thousand-year Day
of earth's history, viii he the time Of
His Kingdom. in which mankind will
be privileged to be healed from sin,
sorrow and pain, and brought TO the
full perfection of human nature. lost
in Eden and redeemed at Calvary
Since Jesus was Il Jew. and there
fore bound by the Jewish Law, He
could do nothing contrary to that Law.
But He corrected certain misapprehen-
sions of the Law. which had crept in
through the teachings Of the Doctors
of the Law and the PhariseeS. For
show these exaggerated the letter Of
the Law in some respects, while en-
tirely ignoring its spirit. In various
ways they made Gods Law appear
and while particular in
tribes. they set aside
the much more weighty matters Of
justice, love and mercy.
In today's lesson. we have two in
stances of healing on the Sabbath.
