The Lord who loved the church and gave Himself for it, that He might present ,'it to Himself a glorious church with- out spot or wrinkle, yearned over them.

No other message was needed, no other was suf- cient but the story or the substitu- tionary sacrice of Christ. Mr. Hale said that the First Baptist Church in Barrie would hear no other. ILAUUD.

The next tender opened was that of ` the Northern Advance for $1.80 a page. \ Mr. Johnston again argued strenuously against its admission on the ground that it had not complied with the time limit and when it was seen that the feeling of the committee was against him on this point he shed a second News-Letter tender for $1.70 a page out of his pockets and succeeded, with the aid of Mr. LaRose, in awarding the contract to the News-Letter at $1.70 a page. He took both tenders of the News-Letter (which belong to the County and should be on le) away with him and left only the Northern Advance tender for the county les. .

With the vote of Reeve LaRose of Orillia the tender was awarded to the News-Letter at $1.70 a page. Held Out for High Figure A _ committee composed of Reeve Johnston, Reeve LaRose and Deputy- Reeve Knight of Barrie was named at the January session of County Council to advertise and let" the con- tract for printing the 1928 minutes.

Mr. Johnston proceeded to rule the tender out. In opposition to this it was argued that the date of receipt made no difference because all tenders were sealed and their contents unknown. `Dar-.Ann n L-....l.... -0 4.1.- -|v-___ TWO nizunms USED TO LAND CONTRACT When One Bid.
