M A serious hold-up on the Oakwood road was reported in town last evening. It seems that a man named. Richardson, who had occasion to drive out towards ()akwood last evening was held 11p on a dark stretch of road by two or more masked men. A sum of money was taken from him, it is claimed, but the amount could not be ascertained. Richardson could not be located to-day, and it is probable that, nothing more will be heard of the ai‘fair.â€"â€"P0§t. Mr. Richard Lees, public school in- spector. has been recently through the townships of Dummer, Melthune, and Belmont, where disastrous fires have _1-nvaged woods and fields over an area of 125 to 130 square miles. They started at the east- end of Stony Lake and spread rapidly in an easterly direction to the eastern boundary of Methuen. From there they stretched northward from Sandy Lake to the south end of Round Lake, leaving a wide belt of smoked and charred ground and trees, causing thousands of dollars loss.~â€"Post. liETERiiliTlDtiAL rzwsrapra BliliE STUDY CLUB GAZETTE'S BRANCH. Prints for Answers. THE The Gazette has secured the right to pnblishthe International Sunday School Lesson questions by the Rev. Dr. Linâ€" scott, which have aroused so much in- terest elsewhere, and they will appear weekly. One of these questions each week is to be answered in writing, and upon these answers prizes will be award- ed. This paper is also authorized to form a Local Newspaper Bible Study Club for its readers, and guarantees to all who join and fulfil the conditions, that everything herein promised shall be faithfully carried out. Persons may join the club at any time during the year, but must, of course, answer the 5‘2. questions hereinafter ex- plained, to qualify for the prizes. It is, however, desirable that the questions be answered as the lessons are studied. The international Newspaper Bible Study Club, which had its origin last year at Brantford, Ont., is for the pur- pose of promoting, in an unfettered way among the masses, a wider study of the Bible. the'baser truths of Christianity, and the problems which enter into every man's life. It is composed of all those who join a local club and take up the simple course outlined herein, barring only ordained elergymen. We have the sympathetic co-opcration of the latter, but it. is not considered fair to have them compete for the prizes. Sunday School teachers, Bible class scholars, and church goers generally may belong to this news- paper club, also nonâ€"churchgoers of all shades of opinion. All such are warmly invited to join and compete for the prizes. CONDITIONS OF THE CONTEST. 1.

Rev. Dr. Linscott’s Suggestive Questions on the Sunday School Lesson for Nov. lst, 1908. Absalom Rebels Against Davidâ€"11 Sam. xv.

Verse 1â€"15 it ever right for a man, in any station, to put on style, or to dis- play his wealth? Verses 2-Gâ€"What bad qualities did Absalom show, in trying to dethrone his father and to capture the throne for himself ‘3 Is it always wrong to desire, or to court popularity ? Should we consciously strive to secure the good will of people, or should we be regardless concerning it, and depend wholly upon our right conduct ? is it ever right for a man to seek to obtain a position occupied by another ? ln our ordinary greeting of our friends, should we ever ailect an interest in them which we do not feel? What can you say for or against the the man who, when running for oilicc, is very cordial to every person, and to those whom he rarely speaks to at other times ? ~ Should we ever attempt to capture the love of any person at the expense of turning him against some other person ? Which is the more contomptible, to “ steal the hearts ” of men or to steal their money? What is the difference between the sin of Absalom and that of the men and the newspapers that are constantly speaking evil of those in authority, so that they may be turned out, and that the grrunblcrs and their friends may 0c- cupy their positions ? Verses 7-9-sz a cause which re- quires cunning and duplicity for its success ever be a good one ? if a man uses pious phrases and the name of God, and professes to be religi- ous, to cover up his crime, is be worse or better than an ordinary criminal ?

Verses 13-18 â€"â€"â€"â€"To what extent was David responsible for the character of Absalom ? When our interests, or our family, or our character is attacked, should we ig- nore the enemy, or run from him, or face him in the open? Did David show wisdom or courage in fleeing from Jo 'usalem, and 'is it likely he would have acted in this way if the revolt had been headed by a strang er ? Verses 19-22â€"l)avid's favorite son was in rebellion against him, and this stranâ€" ger,,lttai, was David‘s true friend. Is or is net'this a suggestion of a fact that parents generally get more real help from si rangers than from their grownâ€" up children? ~ Verse ‘Zilâ€"What lesson may we learn from the fact that David lost his courâ€" age, and the people wept ? May we ever expect to win in any bat~ tie when Our hearts are iilled with fear ? Lesson for Sunday, Nov. 8th, 1908.â€"â€" David Grieves for Absalom. ll Sam. xviii . _Â¥ - FENELON FALLS MARKETS.
