(Cwrlskl. lax. br AJarrlcss Pim AMOctltlos.] There la n vast amount ot religion or reUglouineat which Is not real. It is merely outward form, like the chaff which has the form of the wheat, bnt there Is nothing within. Tbo scribes and the PhnriM-es of our Lord's time bad an abundance of that kind, and Be called them hypocrites, those who play a part, like actors on n stage. In Matt xxlll he so culled them seven times, and In the first Terse of our lesson ebapter He said, “Beware ye of tbe leaven of the Pharisees, which la hy pocrisy." Leaven In Scripture la in- variably something evil, corrupt aud corrupting. Even In Matt, xlll and parallel passages It refers to the tor- rtlptcd food of Iho church In this pres ent age called the mystery of the king dom. tbe teaching which, acifipdlng to tbe last part of our leiuon, encourages those who profess to b?servants, bnt moff at tbe coming of Christ and min gle with the world. A true child of (Jod and aervunt of '’Chrlat Is heartily “with Him," hears the word of Uod and keeps it, has a single eye to the glory of Uod, hiya up tivaaiiro In heaven, In all things scaka tbe kingdom, has no anxiety about tem poral affaire and no fear of death. The man of tbe world and the hypocrite, on the contrary, arc always seeking more , of this world and living unto them- ' aeIres. .See chapter xl 1211. 28, 81) and the portion of chapter xll up to where our lesson begins. As the redeemed nf the I-ord, risen with Christ., our affections arc there where lie is, at the right hand of Uod. We believe that our life Is bid .with Christ in Uod, that He has given iis His kingdom and glory and that wo are here aa His witnesses to testify of His grace anti tbow forth Hla praises, ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries ot Qod (Col. Ill, 1-3; I Tbeas. II, 12: I IVt. H. 9f 1 Cor. iv, 2). As ancli wo are decidedly not of thin world, but with loins girded and llghta burning we wnlt for our Lord from heaven— “waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ," “aervlug the living and true Uod and watting for, His Sou from heaven" (I Cor. 1. 7; I Thcsa. I, P, 10). See also I I’ot. In verses 37 and 38 of onr lesson tbe attltnde Is not only walling, but watch ing—that Is. expecting, for wo will not be apt to Wutcli tor what wo do not ex pect It Is written In Hob. x, 12, 13, that after Ibo Lord Jeaus had offei one vsnerlficd for sins forever He psl dawn on t ho-right hand of Uod, fi henceforth expecting till Ills enemies be uindc Ills footstool. In Item, vlll, r, But to His redeemed, keeping In new that wo must render an-account of onr stewardship. He wants a people rooted nod grounded In love, rooted and built up in Him and established In the faith (Epli. III. 17; Col. II, 7). and tbla can be iK-couipllslicd only by tbe word of God faithfully ministered by the Holy Spir it Ihrutigh Ills servants. Dreadful will lie the loss of those who have given stones for lirend, . things Intellectual and ethical Instead of meat la due sou. The stripes will lie In proportion id knowledge and opportunity abused. Tla- servaot who I* east out with un ite tioveM never was a true servant, but oae like JutlnM Iscariot, who was only of lie nufnberof flip twelve, for n true child of Uod can neviV perish (John x. 27-211; I’hll. I. Hi. All are lost, whether professors of religion or openly ungod. iy, liccanse they have not received the Lord Jesus Christ ns tlirlr Saviour, bnt punishment shall Is; according to de sert. All are saved who are redeemed by Ills precious Idood. and all equally saved, for there arc no degrees in safe ly, Init rewards shall lie according to faithful service, even as He said, “Be hold, i come quickly, aud my reward la with me to give every one according aa his work shall he” (Rev. xxil, 12). See also II John 8. Atlantic Postal Tel.

(See Sec. 388 of theCode of Ga.) 1. It fails to show from what exist, ing militia district or districts the tei- rltority that la to constitute the uew dis trict is to be taken, or how much terri tory is to be taken from any particular district or districts. The necessity tor setting tills ont is manifest from the fact, that yoor Board must appoint three commissioners from tlio district or districts ont of which tlie uew district is to be made, and the moat inportunt duty to be performed by tlio commiss ioners when appointed, will be to de termine what effect U|»n oxistlng dis trict Hues the proposed change would have. 2. The petition falls to show, where the west lino of tbb proposed new dis trict is to be located. The petition does name “Big Greek" aa the north line, aud defines the northwest lino aa being tho “Ochiookonee River,” bnt does not attempt to define the west line. 8. The petition falls to show in what land district of the county the Iota en umerated are situated. There questions are dealt with iu the case of Howell vs. Keuuey, With. Ga Reps,, 644-64. In which case it Is laid down tliat, “tlio-commissioners appoint ed to define and lay out tho lluoa of the uew district cannot possibly perform their duty unless they are informed with reasonable certainty, either by the petition itself or by the ordor appointing them what offoct on oxistlng district linos the proposed change wonld have, and where the new lines wonld ran ” I therefore rcoommend that the peti tion be returned to the petitioners with ~ " that it bo made more definite in By cash paid county Tress.

Ills coming in glory, then the chureh Is represented as cornlug with Him. Verse 30 of our lesson can not he a message for tho church except In so far as the “waiting” Is concern cd, for when onr Lord returns from the wedding the church will be with Him The last part of our lesson Is derated to tbe ‘faithful and wise steward" or the opposite, and the matter of person al responsibility Is set forth. Four times we have tbe phrase “that serv ant," referring both to real servants ■ad to liypocrltcb whose portion will bo with unbelievers. The wise servant it exemplified In the fire wise virgins of Matt, xxv, and the faithful •errant is seen In the men with the five and the two talents In the same chapter and In the men whose pounds gained ten and five pounds In Lake xlx. Tbe faithful servant is not only rewarded, but who ran tell bow much Is Included In the words “ruler over all that be hath?" (Verse 44.) We cannot but think of “with me in my throne" and “we shall reign on tbe earth" (Rev. Ill, 21; v, 10).

Wliilo the question of tlio right of yonr Board to establiah'more than one polling place, or precinct, iu a single Militia District has qot boon referred to me, yet as it seems to have been dii- enssed by Borne persons interested in tlio organization of a now district with a polling place at Merrillville, I bog leave to state that our law expressly declares that there can be but ono precinct in each Militia District, except where such districts lie iu whole or in part iu in- corporeted cities, towns, or villages; and in these as many precincts may be established as may be necessary. April 29th 1901. Rory respectfully. W. M. Hammond, Tlie thanks of tbD Board D hereby tendered Mr. P. 8. Heeth for the splen did showing made in above report, Tlie following resolution was adopted whereas.—The Grand Jury at ID last session did order thD board to pat into exeontfon at tlie earliest opportune mo ment some plan by which our convicts can be used to improve the condition of the public highways. Be it resolved that the chairman ap point a committee of three from this board himself to be one of the three to obtain some information from otliqr counties, which have had some exper ience in using their oonvlcta for snch purposes,as to the best manner to provide and formulate tome plans lor the early remodeling of onr system of working the public roads, and report to tills body at next meeting. Chairman appointed in accordianoe with resolution, Pringle, Barrow and Smith. , Yonr Committee appointed to invest! gate the boundary of the Hall road touch ing tho Hawkins lands, bog leave to re- port tliat we have had the tame survey ed and attact hereto the plot of same, (which wo ask that it become a part of tilts report and be recorded in this part of the report). Wo can find no record of grout of right of way from Hawkins but from aU tlia evidence relative to this grant Mr. Hawkins told the commis sioners if they needed more land to move the fence back and occupy it. Mr. W. O. Snodgrass makes the same proposition which if accepted will cost tlie county from 28 to 60 dollars. We wonld recommend that tliU ques tion be refund to Rond Commissioners of this list. W.

A comprehensive Lace Operation, such a one only’the largest business houses in the country could engage in, was closed by us several weeks ago, but on account of Custom House Entanglements the Laces did not reach us until now. The largest buyers of celebrated Americau 3tores envied us for this transaction, because Laces in this tremendous purchase are uot alone owned cheaply to the point of incredulity, but more so they are the pick and cream ‘of "Fashion, and not a yard auioug the ten thousand of dozens is anything but the season’s choicest productions. “For what is worth.in anything But so much money as 'twill bring.”-Butler.
