Our Scripture references tell us of
the spread of the kingdom in the
early days of the church Paul writes
that a great door is opened to him In
Ephesus, which prevented his com.
ing to Corinth. In the persecution
that arose when Stephen suffered
martyrdom the believers were scat

it up to study the course laid down
for "Studies in the Apostolic
Church" The Acts of the Apostles
will mean more than ever before.
We are many who, while they be-
lieve that God had something to do
in the opening of doors in the early
church days, are hardly ready to ad-
init that he does the same thing now.
But these are people who are not
posted on the modern missionary
movements Some time ago the bur
den OF the prayers Of the most ag
gressive of the church people was
that the doors of the non-Christian
world might be opened to allow the
Word of God to enter. The hatred
of anything foreign was so strong
that the doors of the nations were
tight closed against the message OF
peace. The strongest proclamations
were posted against those who es'
poused, the cause of Christianity,
After the apostolic age the doors of
the world seemed to shut against the
church, but in the days referred to
the church besought the heavenly
Father to swing them open again.
Marvelously did he reward their
prayer, for the doors have swung
open. They are standing open. but
the church is not entering them as
rapidly as she ought. God answered
prayer beyond all that men asked or

from us the vision of the Eternal.
You need not break the glasses of a

Famous brains are of four sorts.
The lowest group contains the minds

pressions derived from the senses;
the second group contains the infant

wane in middle age; the third group
contains the pathological cases usu-

fourth and highest group is that of
true geniuses, whose powers remain
unimpaired until old age. This is

Why Railways Are Being Electrified

Why Railways Are Being Electrified
The final arguments for the elec-
trification of a steam railroad are
reduction in operation costs and in
crease of earning capacity of the
present tracks. There are, of course,
several incidental advantages accru-
ing from the use of electricity as mo-
tive power which are of considerable
Importance, although It is difficult
to evaluate them in dollars and cents.
In this category we may include
three First, the smaller wear and
tear on the tracks, structures and
roadbed, due to the absence of the
lateral swaying and vertical hammer
ing caused by partially reciprocating
parts OF steam locomotives. Second,
the elimination of smoke, under cer-
tain conditions, such as those from
the New York Central tunnel ap-
proach to the Now York terminus, is
a very compelling argument, and fur
ther reduces the maintenance of the
rolling stock by making the neces-
sity OF car-body painting and cleaning
less frequent. Third, the greater
facility of train movement; which
results from the simplicity OF con-
troll; the greater readiness for SER
vice-no time need be consumed in
getting up steam. taking coal. OF
cleaning fires; and a greater factor
Of reliability In the locomotive unit,
