Especial to washington HernId1

Rockville, Nd. Aug. 25.- The
Montgomery County Fair Associa-
ton lost an opportunity TO pay off
its entire indebtedness this year
when the State racing commission
at first refused the directors pernis-
sion 10 install pari-mutucl machines
on the grounds to accommodate
those. who wished to bet on the
horse races.
At the last moment the commits
sion changed it's mind and notified
the fair directors to install the ma
chimes. 1t. was too late. The as
ISOLATION had been offered $1,000 for
the control of the betting. The bid
der also agreed to pay all the
purses, which amount to about
$4,000
There has been considerable dis
satisfaction because there has been
no opportunity to bet on the races.
The cavalcade of horses. which
has been a feature of the fair for
many years, took place this fore
noon.
Judging of exhibits continued
during the day.

1t was an expression of Divine love
when God gave to us a Savior-the
Christ child born in the Bethlehem
manger. AS we approach the Christ
mas season, and behold both the old
and the young, both rich and poor pre-
pairing to make their gifts to those
whom they love or at least are thought
full of, how forcibly are we reminded
of the greatest gift that was ever given
John 3:16). Gods gift to mankind ex-
ceeds them all.
There was an object in view, as we
find clearly stated in the 18th verse, in
the sending forth of His only begotten
Son, namely: "that the world through
him might be saved. THUS, our object,
as the people of God like John the Bar-
fist of old is to point men and women to
'the Lamb of God which taketh away
the sin of the world" Therefore, we
conclude that this object was, in a
measure, carried out in our service last
Sunday evening at which time another
soul was saved Also others have ex-
pressed their desire to accept Gods
precious gift.
A Christmas service with a Christ
mas sermon will be held in the Chapel
on Saturday evening at seven o'clock
fast time.)
Next Sunday evening, beginning at
seven thirty, our Christmas progam
will be rendered. We venture to say
this will be interesting as this will be

Savings of the Week.

A bald literalistic Interpretation has
robbed us of many of the most pre-
cious portions of the Bible.
Temptation is a law of moral charac
ter.
The dynamic of the christian religion
is devotion to the person of Jesus
Christ.
The Incarnation revealed the Human
ity of God.
The life is always greater than the
sermon, the silent eloquence of saint
ly life is mightier than the spoken word
Many first class testimony has been
spoiled by second-class life.
"Jesus did not create goodness, her
fair form had already been carved in
white marble by austere hands. Be.
fore Jesus goodness was sterile, since
Jesus goodness has blossomed he ferti.
lized it with his spirit, it was a theory,
it became force"
