ton to Act On Petition For
Removal OF Officers

AT the meeting Of the Board of
County Commissioners Tuesday after
moor the matter of the discontinuance
of the offices of county road supervis-
or, county agent, and county nurse, as
requested by a number of petitioners.
was brought up by States Attorney
John Pussy, who presented the board
with, an opinion and quoted several
sections of the law governing these
officers.
AS interpreted by the states attor-
ney the law required the county ON
missioners to fill these offices, and
they would not have Jurisdiction to
dispense with them.
The following is the communication
as presented to the Board:
To The Honorable Board of County
Commissioners:
Many Electors have called on the
States Attorney during the past two
months who seemed aggrieved because
a Highway Supt., County Nurse and a
County Agent were employed for Hand
County, and a few petitions were sub
mitted that your Honorable Board dis
pense with at least part, or all of
these employees.
AS / interpret the law referred to
hereafter, the County Commissioners
would not have jurisdiction todispense
with the Highway Supt., or the County
Agent, or even the County Nurse pend
ing the time of her employment, unless
for neglect of her duty.
III no agreement for a stated period
of time has been made with a County
Nurse, and the Board of Health
thought such services could be dis
pensed with, then in my opinion the
County Commissioners would have a
right to dispense with such services.
County Highway Superintendent
Section Is of Chapter 1913, Session
Laws of 1919 provide that the County
Commissioners within ninety days af-
ter the passage of said Chapter, APP
compensation of not less than 100000
per n and all expenses and fur
Lish him an Office, etc.
County Nurse

provides hat a County Nurse is en-
ployed by reason of the County Board
of Health filing a application with the
County Auditor for employment of a
Nurse at the expense of the County.
If no Board of Health is in the County
or if the Board refuses or neglects
to act then twenty-five elector free
holders may petition the Board OF
Commissioners for employment of the
County Nurse and il sufficient grounds
are set forth in the application, the
Commissioners may employ a trained
nurse, etc.
County Agent
Section 1850 Revised Code of Chap

"CHRIsT In THE HOME

And He went down with them and
came to Nazareth and was subject to
them."-Luke III, 51st.
Because Jesus Christ was God, and
as God accomplished mighty things,
IL is only what we would expect; II
was the omnipotence of the Almighty
at work. But that he was God and yet
accomplished the humblest of life's
humble duties seems to be " still
more God-like. II is, as you know,
the same God who is wonderful upon
the deep, heaving old ocean and ruling
the waves, the very same who, with
infinite art, poises the dew drop tremb-
ling and glistening on the heart Of
the rose. IL is the same God who
storms from the clouds and shakes
the world with the artillery of His
thunders, the very same who teaches
the rivulet its song and their lullabies
to the summer winds God Is infinite
in all His manifestations, infinitely
yet infinitely beautiful and
lest we should dread Him too much in
His power, He has disclosed to us His
beauty that we might love Him. So,
too, with Jesus, though we glory al
ways W Nioh6 W " oO 6hCotp co
powerful, it is often far easier and
sweeter to adore Him in His human
humility. Thus |. Is with a thrill that
we read of how He went down to
Nazareth, and took up His abode with
in the narrow confines of a human
dwelling. And IL 1t be true that Christ
has sanctified by His walk and way
of Human life by the fact that He re-
manned for so many years but of the
precious life that was SO short in the
~obscurity of Nazareth, He has told us
how dear to the heart OF God must be
that most sacred institutions which we
call home. One might ask what Christ
was doing during all those years. He
knew there were millions of doubling
souls awaiting His coming to heal
them, to teach them, and yet for al
most twenty years He tarried. But
the answer can quickly be given.
Christ was doing at Nazareth what he
did on Calvary. BY His example at
Nazareth He was saving the world
which He redeemed at Calvary, and IL
is true to say that, next to the grace
God purchased for us by the blood OF
Christ, the salvation and regeneration
OF the world, can only come through
the home, through that home life
which by His labors His prayers, His
love, His life at Nazareth He was
consecrating forevermore.
In modern times We are SO muct
spread abroad, we are organized II
the breaking point. Schemes, reforms
problems haze ccme to 80 occupy thu
public attention that m would thinl
that the good, ~old-fashioned hom'
where each one bears his Own burdel
