"I have not had any complaints about dogs, but I will look into the matter at once and I will have a full report made," said the reeve, C The general manager stated that the dogs complained of were supâ€" posed to be dead when placed in the waggon, while as a matter of fact they were not and were being driven around in agony. "It was one of the most brutal things I have seen in my experience. I have written the reeve of the townâ€" ship bringing the matter to his attenâ€" tion and unless such methods in the destruction of animals cease the soâ€" ciety will have to take action," said Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson said he found a large Airedale dog writhing in agony. "It must have been more than an hour since it was supposed to have been destroyed. The dog had been poisonâ€" ed with prussic acid. That form of destruction has been adopted by York Township. Complaints. about. the way dogs captured in York Township are being received by the Toronto Humane Soâ€" ciety and J. McNab Wilson, the genâ€" eral manager, stated that unless a different method is used action will be instituted against the parties reâ€" sponsible. Mr. Wilson stated _ that since the dog pound was established in York Township some weeks ago he had received numerous complaints. "The matter was brought forcibly to my attention yesterday when a dog taken from York Township pound was discovered writhing in agony in a waggon which removes the aniâ€" mals which have been destroyed," said Mr. Wilson. STATE DOGS ARE KILLED INHUMANELY Kenwood 7163 Notifies Reeve THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON _ _"I think I can. He wants to mould Muriel to his own way of thinking, and has an idea that your influence might damage his chance. Like all selfâ€"made men, he is ambitious, and he is innately vulgar. He calculates that his daughter‘s dower ought to bring him a certain return in rank and posiâ€" tion, and would sell her to the highest bidder as relentlessly as if she were a marble statue, and had no heart to feel, or pride to rebel. I am sure I do not misjudge him when I say this, and sometimes I think one would be justified in persuading the poor child to revolt and assert her right to the control of her own destiny." _ His passionate vehemence, his unâ€" controllable indignation, gave Rosie a foretaste of the revelation that was impending. The color left herâ€"face, and a sudden faintness overtook her. "Brownie hasâ€"comeâ€"to years of disâ€" cretion, and is much. too sage and digâ€" nified to indulge in such freaks," said Rosie, smiling and nodding to her faâ€" ither as he opened the gate. And then ‘she added, with sudden earnestness, as soon as the latter was out of hearing: "How do you think papa is looking, Captain Cheveney ?" _ _ es I "I won‘t believe it for a moment," he eried vehemently. "I am positive that she regrets the separation even more than you do, for she has a greatâ€" er need of you than you have of her." "Are you sure of that?" "She told me as much once, and was almost inclinedâ€" to defy her faâ€" ther for your sake. I tried to persuâ€" ade her that matters would right themselves gradually, if she was patâ€" ient, otherwise I fancy you would have seen her in spite of everything." _ "But can you understand Mr. Grey‘s prohibition ?" "I think I can. He wants to mould "Yes," he said. "Why ?" "Because I am growing skeptical myself, and want reassuring. I fancy sometimes that Muriel Grey has quite forgotten me." "«"Well, you see, there is no accountâ€" ing for tastes," he answered, with comical gravity, "and parents are apt to be partial." Rosie nodded sagaciously, and was silent for a while. Her eye wandered over the autumn landscape, taking in even those vaguer details which conâ€" duce to the harmony of the whole, and yet which it requires a fine sense to perceive. But catching a glimpse of Edenvale House among the trees changed the whole current of her thoughts. .. 3 "Captain Cheveney, do you believe in women‘s friendships ?" Rosie asked, with a suddenness that startled him, for he could not tell what bridge of association had led up to this quesâ€" tion. "That may be it, but I am afraid he worries himself â€"about other things as well. And he is so goodâ€"Captain Cheveney," she concluded, with great feeling. "I know that." : "I want to help him, and I can‘t," Rosie went on, rather tremulously. "I seem to have been a hindrance to him ever since I was born." "He wouldn‘t say so, I am sure." £Oh! no,"" and she began to smile again. "He thinks me quite wonderâ€" fully nice. Isn‘t it odd ?" "Wonderfully well, Miss Rodwell: don‘t you ?" She shook her head. "He has such a worn, harassed look, I always think." They went tnrough the quiet lanes together until they came to a quaint old farmhouse halfâ€"buried in trees, when Mr. Rodwell stopped and took his careful hand from the pony‘s rein. "Perhaps he has been overâ€"anxious about you, Miss Rodwell." $ "Will you take care of Rosie while I go in here for a minute?" he said, turning to Captain Cheveney. "By all means,". was the cordial reply, as the young man placed himâ€" self at the pony‘s head. I think I can manage Brownie, even if he should takeâ€"a fancy to run away." T3 This notion was too absurd to be harbored continuously, but it was alâ€" ways recurring in spite of herself, and troubling her imagination, while it inâ€" g__reased her interest in the young ofâ€" icer. ‘ Rosie hardly understood her. own mood;. she felt so lightâ€"hearted and free from all thoughts of care, past or present. The sun was shining for her, the birds were singing for her; the wild rose bloomed .to please her eye, and the heather on the moor flamed out the golden afternoon with a kindly pleasure. The whole earth was glad in her gladness, and the ripple of her bright, girlish laughter seemed like a song sung to the monotonous, musical accompaniment of Nature‘s deeper tones. _ _ "If anyone else told me so I wouldâ€" n‘t believe it, Miss Rodwell; but I suppose I am bound to take your word." "Papa will expect it, I am afraid," she said laughingly. J JLOLILVJLNLILLVULINLINLY IJLWJIJWJINANLY Mr. Rodwell‘s manner was always kind, but to Captain Cheveney, Rosie observed, he was peculiarly gentle and appreciative. She could even have fancied, if it had not been so impossâ€" ible, that her father had a remorseâ€" ful feeling as regard him, and was haunted with the idea that he had done him some injury. Captain Cheveney quickened his pace a little when he caught sight of Mr. Rodwell and Rosie, and was soon at their side, giving them a pleasant greeting. "I hope so too," she said. "Papa must be quite tired of his invalid." * "I must do him the justice to say he doesn‘t look so," replied Captain Cheveney, glancing from one to the other with quick sympathy. "Indeed, I fancy he will feel as if his occupation is gone when you get quite well again‘‘‘ u_ loo u.. 2 & "I need not ask if you are better, Miss Rodwell," he said, as he looked at her bright eyes and glowing cheeks, never once divining, that he was the magician who conjured up such brillâ€" iant effects. "You will be quite reâ€" stored before the winter overtakes us, I hope." 2i cy"o _ ~"Oh! but Iâ€"shall find plenty to do, even then," she answered gayly.."I am a dreadfully exacting person, Captain Cheveney." _ in 2 The Silver Lining When Nature adds a little brain, she adds a little difficulty.â€"R. W. Emerson. % Captain Cheveney was puzzled and disappaointed, and, stepping back quickly, he almost touched Muriel‘s horse as she reined it in, and said, with assumed gayety, in which there lurked a bitter irony and suppressed rage: T "Pray don‘t let me disturb you, Capâ€" tain Cheveney. I can pass quite well." Could his impulsive demonstration have offended her by any chance. He fancied he knew her too well for this. Rosie was no prude, although modest and shy, and, being in his confidence, could hardly have resented a caress whose origin was so marked and inâ€" disputable. _ * Rosie, frightened by Muriel‘s disâ€" dainful bearing, did the very worst thing possible, under the cireumstaneâ€" es; she snatched her hand suddenly out of Captain Cheveney‘s grasp, greatly to his surprise; for, his back being toâ€" ward the advancing party, he had seen nothing, and was at a loss to underâ€" stand what she meant by her abrupt repulse. _ _ y A Sy The whole party was on horseback, and, the lane being sandy, they had been able to approach as close as this without being oyerheard.. & As Rosie felt Captain Cheveney‘s lips on her hand, the consciousness of her secret made her flush and quivâ€" er, though she mastered herself braveâ€" ly, and ‘smiled the next moment. The smile and blush were still beautifying the fair young face when she suddenâ€" ly looked up, and there within a few paces of them was Muriel Grey, folâ€" lowed closely by Lord Ampthill; while Margaret Pole and Mr. Grey came more slowly behind. 3 There had been the muffled sound of horses‘ hoofs on the common comâ€" ing nearer and nearer; but neither had heard nor heeded this. Each was too agitatedâ€"each had a subject for thought too absorbing to make it posâ€" sible that his or her attention should be easily diverted to other things. _ "How can I ever thank you enough for those blessed words?" he cried, his usual reserve broken up by strong feeling; and ‘he impetuously seized Rosie‘s poor little tremulous hand, and pressed it gratefully to his lips. : "What can I tell you?" asked Rosie, in a gentle, constrained voice. "I shall be glad to help you, if I can." ____ _ "I should never have loved Muriel if I had thought her only beautiful," he went on abstractedly. "But I see in her a deep tenderness and truth, a candid, generous spirit, and great inâ€" tensity of feeling. Am I mistaken, Miss Rodwell? I know you will not deceive me, or speak one word more or less than the truth; and I have so much at stake, I dare not trust entireâ€" ly to my own observation." _ > Rosie was so afraid that her feelâ€" ings might bias her in any way againâ€" st the friend who was now a rival, that she forced herself to be not only just, but enthusiastic. "Muriel is all and even more than you think her," she said bravely; "and you will never regret having trusted her." "Even now I hear everywhere of her engagement to my cousin, and alâ€" though I do not believe it, I cannot disguise from myself that the chances are against me. She will grow weary of the perpetual conflict? Can‘t you see how it might be brought about that she should even suspect my faith, since I am forbidden to give her any proofs to the contrary? And, again, am I not selfish to hold her to our compact, when she might do so much better in a worldly point of view ? 1 am anxious to do what is right; but my feelings are too strong to allow my reason fair play; and I seem to grope about in the darkness without being able to reach the light. I love her with all my heart!" he added, his eyes darkening as they still consultâ€" ed poor Rosie‘s changing face. "And yet I would rather give her up now at once than that she should suffer enâ€" ough to reproach me that I had not made it easy for her to break with the past. I am literally torn to pieces with these conflicting feelings, Miss Rodwell. Can you help me to a decisâ€" sion? It is Muriel‘s happiness I want to secure; not my own." But with a sort of heroism of which even the weakest women are capable, sometimes, she straightened her figâ€" ure, and steadied her voice, to answâ€" er back. "How do you know all this ?" "I know it because I love Muriel, Miss Rodwell, and it is only the cruel vanity of this man that keeps us apart." Captain Cheveney was no. coxcomb, or he must have seen by the mute pain in the soft eyes uplifted for a second to his that he had wrenched the one great hope of her life from. poor Rosie. Captain Cheveney was naturâ€" ally absorbed in his own feelings at the moment, and Rosie‘s secret was safe. But she could never recall afterâ€" ward without a burning flush of shame how nearly she had betrayed herself. Still the closeness of the peril was a warning and revelation. It taught her that she must never relax guard even for a minute. Rosie was not haughty and impetuous like . Muriel; at the same time she would rather have died than owe anything to Captain Chevâ€" eney‘s pity. By one of those strong efforts which lift us above ourselves, Rosie quieted the tremor in her voice, stilled the wildbeating of her heart, and was able to say, with perfect calmâ€" nessâ€"outwardly : "I am glaa you toid me this, Capâ€" tain Cheveney. If Muriel is in trouble, it is easier to underscand that she should succumb to her father‘s wishâ€" es in a minor matter rather than have twoâ€"battles to fight at the same time." "«©You know Muriel better than I do," he said, putting his hand on the pony‘s neck and leaning eagerly forward to look into her face, as if she were some oracle whose decree was fate. "Tell me, has she strength and patâ€" ience to wait three long years for me.? Will she be true in spite of temptation, opposition, nay, even persecution, perâ€" haps? I know all the influences that will be brought to bear on her, and she is so young I tremble often when I think of the future."

But He often does that (Jno. 15:7) Solomon. got what he had asked, but he got it in a more abundant measure than he had asked. His wisdom became noted throughout the earth, and throughout all ages (V. 28; ch. 4:29â€"34; 5:12: 10â€" 3â€"8, 28, 24). God also gave him exceedâ€" ing abundantly above what he asked (cf. Eph. 3:20). If we seek the best thing, God will give us with it the minâ€" or things (Mat. 6: 33; Ps. 84:11, 12; Ro. 8:82). His riches were enormous (ch. 10:23â€"29). Wisdom which he sought came bringing riches and hon or in her hand (ef. Prov. 3:16). God made Solomon still another promise, but this was conditional upon his futâ€" ure conduct (v. 14). The promise was long life; the condition, obedience. Obâ€" edience to God‘s laws is the great secâ€" ret of longevity (Duet. S:16; 25: 15; Prov. 3:1, 2, 16; 1 Tim, 4â€"8). All God‘s richest blessings are conditioned #pon obedience (Acts 5: 32; Jno. 14: 15â€"28). Solomon did not fulfill the condition and missed the promised blessing, he died comparatively young (1 Ki. 11: 42). God was pleased with Solomon‘s prayer. He is allways pleased with an intelligent prayer (Prov. 15:8). ~He mentioned some of the things _ that Solomon might have asked, things that many would have asked had they had Solomon‘s opportunity. But Solomon‘s choice was much wiser. A wonderful thing God says to him, "I have done a'ccording to thy words." Think of it, sOLOMON‘sS WISE CHOICE â€" Golden Text.â€"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth undestanding. â€" Proverbs 13:13. Lesson Text.â€"1 Kings 3: 4â€"15, Lesson X. Solomen went to Gibeon because the Tabernacle, the place where Jehovah peculiarly manifested Himself to His people, was there (1 Chron. 21:29; 2 Chron. 1:3, 7, R. V.; Ex.20:42; 43, R. V.). Until the Temple superseded it, that is where men who longed to meet God went, the place God Himself had appointed. The Tabernacle was a type of Christ (Jno. 1:14, R.V.), it is in Him that we meet God (Jno. 14:6). Each one of the thousand burnt offerâ€" ings that Solomon offered also pointed forward to Christ. In Him there is a better ground of approach to God than in countless slain beasts (Heb. 10:1â€"22). The desire with which Soloâ€" mon went to Gibeon was satisfied, God met him there. Twice in his life was it granted to Solomon to meet God (cf. ch. 9:2; 11:9). To many of us it is grantted to meet God far more freâ€" quently than that. The appearance was in a dream, but it was a real, apâ€" pearance (cf. Gen. 28: 12, 13; Num. 12:6; Job 33:14, 15; Mat. 1:20; 2:13, 19; Acts 18:9, 10). That God really spoke to Solomon, and that the whole. incident was no product of a disorderâ€" ‘ ed fancy, is evident from the outcome â€"Solomon really obtained what God promised at this time. It was a wonâ€" derful thing that God said to Solomon, "ask what I shall give thee"â€"God setâ€" ’ting all the infinte resources of His power at the disposal of a man. But He says the same wonderful thing to each humblest child of \God toâ€"day (Jno. 14:18, 14; 15:7; Mat. T: 7, 8; Mk. 11:24; Jno. 15:16; 16:23, 24; 1 Jno. 3: 22;, 5:14, 15).. Before asking for anyâ€" thing, Solomon acknowledged the wonâ€" derful goodness of Jehovah. already manifested toward his father and himâ€" gelf (cf. Phil. 4:6; Col. 4:2). God‘s great "kindness" (R. V.) to his father in the past encouraged Solomon to ask great things for himself in the presâ€" ent. God‘s dealing in kindness with David was according to David‘s sinâ€" cere, righteous and upright walk (cf. ch. 9:A;, ta:5; 2 Ki. 20:23, 4; Ps.45 :4 2; 18: 20â€"24; I~Jno. 3:22). A crownâ€" ing manifestation of God‘s kindness was that He had given him a son to succeed to his position and his work. Solomon speaks of his father my a more honorable title than king, "thy servant David." Jehovah Himself had conferred this title upon David (2 Sam. 7:5). Solomon recognized that he owed his own present exalted posiâ€" tion entirely to God (cf. Dan. 2:21; 4: 25, 32;, 5â€"18, 21). He also recognized his own utter insufficiency for the position. He was perhaps twentyâ€"one years of age at this time. In his own eyees he was "but a little child" (cf. 1 Chron. 29:1; Jer. 1:6; Lu. 14:11). He saw the greatness of the responsibility tha_t had been laid upon him. To him office was not a possession for one‘s own private gain, but a sacred trust. The people was a people in numbers, but that was not the most importantl numbers, but that was not the most important fact about them, they were God‘s own people whom He had chosâ€" en. Oh that all kings and presidents and govenors, and pastors too, felt their solemn responsibilities as Soloâ€" mon felt his at this time. He felt that what he must have above all else was not something for himself but fitness for his position. He asked therefore for an "understanding heart‘"â€"literalâ€" ly, a "hearing heart," i. e., a heart that should héear the voice of God. What he asked is of more value than all honors and all riches (Prov. 3: 13â€" 18; 16:16). His father‘s words to him and prayer for him had suggested to Solomon this request (1 Chrom. 22 â€"12; 29:19). Those words had gone deep into Solomon‘s heart. This great thing that Solomon asked we may all ask and get (Jas. 1:5â€"7). It was not for his own sake that Solomon asked for an understanding heart? but for the people‘s good, and above all because they were Jehovah‘s people. In the final analysis, the chief aim pf the prayer was Jehovah‘s glory. That is the chief aim of all true prayer. Such prayer prevails with God (Jas. 4:2, 3). The discerment that he sought was the highest form of discerment, moral discerment. It is the work of ‘éhz)Holy Spirit to impart this (Isa. 11: II.

Reconciliation Our Work, Too. : Let it not be forgotten that unto us is committed the word of reconciliaâ€" tion, and that through our experience day by day comes the testimony of spiritually quickened men and women to testify and bear witness as living epistles known and read of allâ€"men.â€" Rev. Wm. T. Oxley. With what musical instrument could you catch a fish? Castanet (cast a "And all things are of God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the minâ€" istry of reconciliation. To wit: that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath comâ€" mitted unto us the word of reconciliaâ€" tion."â€"IL Corinthians: v. 18â€"19. This Week‘s Sermonette The great call of the pulpit is to proâ€" claim the "unsearchable riches of Christ," to announce to this world day by day the living gospel of the living God, to inspire in the believer a living faith, and to point him to the road of Christian experience, which is always the last word in the evidence of Chrisâ€" ianity. § â€"â€" Into éwrpiét'ure of death and diaster came the Son of Righteousness with healing in his wings. _ â€"._ . /.. The glorious gospel of life in anâ€" nounced with the coming of the Mesâ€" siah. His own statement is: "I have come that they might have Life and have it abundantly." f The pulpit, therefore, is not called to sound the notes of uncertainty, to make any apologies for the weakness of the Church or to find any justificaâ€" tion for the ways of man. Here then is the great gospel or reâ€" conciling the world of contradictions to Himself. A sinsick and weary world is not always competent to diagnose its own trouble. . The gospel is a present living power or it is nothing. Unless men are beâ€" ing redeemed, being called out of sin toâ€"day to life, and unless the saving grace of God is a fact toâ€"day in huâ€" man experience, the gospel of Christ is a mere willâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"wisp. However much we may be disposed to argue our case, the fact remains that the world has had a long parley about sin and so far has done nothing. The revelation of God in Christ is the one outstanding event which speaks a word of hope, proclaims a remedy and invites the world in the name of Christ to journey on the King‘s highway of righteousness. G y Think of it as we will, the simple isâ€" sue is whether or not the living God in Christ is now redeeming this world. The faith of the Christian responds cordially to this gospel of life. The scepticism of the cynic and the unbeâ€" lief of the world unite in proclaiming the doctrine of uncertainty in the preâ€" sence of the great issues of life and death. The Church oiten is too much exercised over her own weakness and not sufficiently alive to the simple fact that God is, and that He is reconcilâ€" ing the world to Himself. It is well for us too keep in mind that the initiative in reconciliation, therefore, is not a chapter in social improvement, but a clear recognition of the heart of God through love, seekâ€" ing to save men, from the consequenâ€" ces of their own waywardness, their own hatred and their own death. The Church needs at times to put a new emphasis upon the great fact oft life. God‘s world is a world teeming with life. The fact that spiritual death has blighted its beauty snould not renâ€" der us indifferent to the gracious revâ€" elation of the victory over death. Let us take the courage of our faith and hope and thank God, not that the gosâ€" pel of reconciliation was a power of God unto salvation, but that it is now the power of God. This truth so frequently announced in Scripture needs reinforcement in the minds of our generation. en This is, after all, the one great sue in the world. This is God‘s world. Into it He has thrust His holly purpose and His heart of love. Into this world with all its problems Jesus came to save His people from their sing. There can be no mistaken conception as to the great purpose, however simple the story may be that God in Christ is reconciling the world.. Too often have we looked upon this as a completed task. The unfolding of history toâ€"day is revealâ€" ing more and more the gracious love of God in His great program of reconâ€" ciling the world unto Himself. We are the children of the living God. We are preaching a living Christ. We are presenting toâ€"day a gospel of power, the power of God unto salvaâ€" tion. All this means that the gospel is God‘s remedy for sin. It is His methâ€" od of reconciliation. God the Reconciler The text cannot be misunderstood. It is God who is reconciling the world. It is God who hath reconciled us by Jesus Christ. It is God in Christ reâ€" conciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses/unto them. This reconciliation in the letter to the Ephesians is spoken of once and again as being to the praise of the glory of His grace and to the praise and the riches of His glory. 5 $ Too many of us have conceived of the Christian religion as an historical develâ€"opment, as a trend in social afâ€" fairs, apart from any consideration of its heavenly origion or its divine powâ€" er. No philosophy of society which ignores the supernatural, the immedâ€" iate presence of God in the great struggle for reconciliation, meets the situation. It is from this fact that we take all our hope and courage. WEDNESDAY, AUG. 31, 1927 Reconcliation a Present Power RIDDLES 1Sâ€" S dn td Ti Â¥ty th 6/ Ts d9 49 B aa
