forces will nearly balance each
other and the comet will be going
at a pretty stiff speed In almost a
straight line from us and the sun.
But along about 1922 its speed
will begin to diminish very MOTTO
ably, and as a consequence it will
begin to curve toward the sun and
from the straight line which would
carry it away forever.
In 1910 it will be going still
slower. 1t will then be displaying

appendage, for the edification of

tune, if Neptune has any inhabi-

1t circles about that planet every
four and one-half years-Neptune
years. 1t would take 60,1S1.11 of
our days to make a year in Nep-
tune.
AS the comet stumbles feebly on
past the outermost planet, its Gen.
trifugal force is too small to resist
the suns force of gravitation and
it succumbs to the inevitable. 1t
begins to realize that it cannot es-
cape its master, the sun, and re-
luctantly turns about, and along
about 1947 will set out to answer
the suns call.
1t will then be going about a

He sun PULLS THE COMET BACK TO Us

Why does Halley's comet come
back to the sun every rs or III
years? Why is 1t that when 1t
passes Neptune, 2,791,60O,O0o
miles from the sun, 1t wanders on
q few hundred million miles furth-
er and then turns around and
starts back to visit us once morey
During the middle Of April the
comet was swinging about the sun
at q distance of less than $4,000
900 miles. After getting away
from the center of the solar sys-
tenn safely 1T started upon its long
journey through space. during
which it passes Venus, Uranus and
finally Neptune, blowing along
still farther until it gets at least
5000, 100000 miles from the sun.
II Barney Oldfield had to make
that trip upon his auto racer, go
ing a third of a second faster than
he or any other mortal ever went,
il would take him 1868 years and
IS1 days to get to the point where
Halley's comet changes its mind
about running away from the sun
and decides to come back for an
other visit.
1t is generally accepted by as
tronomers that comets are parts of
the same original gaseous mass
from which the solar system con-
densed, being merely those por-
lions which were originally left on
the outside before the great COM
mon rotation was established, and
which now occasionally drop in to-
ward tho center.
Some of them would, If not de-
tered by the sun of the planets,
sail right through the whole solar
system I'm straight line from one
dark side of the rim to the other
dark side. Probably Halley's comet
had in mind trip of this kind
when it started out.
1t was just like as II you wanted
to take short cut straight across
your neighbours lot from your own
to the second lot beyond.
But suppose your neighbor OBJ
jeeted, and standing somewhere
in his lot lassoed you and held
fast. But you kept on running
and running and running. The
result would be that you would
keep going around your neighbor
in a circle inside his lot.
This is what the sun did to Hal
sley's comet when the latter tried
to cross the solar system. The
bunch of big and little meteors
which compose its neuclas, ven
tured too near the sun, and 1t be-
came a bound and chained slave
of the sun. The law of gravitation
was responsible for this.
Now, If the comet had been a
planet it would have gone on re
volving about the sun as does the
earth. 1t had an idea of its own
as to where and how 1t would go
that is. it thought 1t debut
when the suns force of gravitation
pulled 1t from out of its pathway
across the solar system, its velocity
sent 1t right back to its starting
point.
Like all heavenly bodies the
neuclas of the comet revolves and
its rotary motion causes the centri-
fugal force which would hurl it off
in the straight line it had started
out on, IL it were not counteracted
by the force of grayitation that
pulls 1t toward the sun.
For the next IL years these two

by several Welshmen. Rev. William
II. Bawden, the pastor, Introduced
DR.. Spurgeon, who had chosen for
his topic: The Great Welsh Re-
vival." For one hour and a hale the
lecturer held his audience, manv
wishing him to continue speaking
longer.
He is easily one Of the finest
speakers that has ever appeared in
this city. Mingling with the people
on the sidewalk as rhey passed out
of the church, one could hear many
comments, all of them favorable.
With flashes Of wit and humor, with
the occasional recital of pathetic in
cidents, DR.. Spurgeon threaded his
way through the story of the great
awakening that swept over Wales a
few years ago, and still Is continu-
ways been a people peculiarly sus-
ceptible to the influences that make
for a revival. An indication of the
way the audience received the lee
ture may be gathered from the fact
that at It's close there were two,
from as many different churches,
who sought to make future dates
for their own respective churches.
DR.. SpurgeOn is to continue
preaching and lecturing in the First
Baptist church during the next ten
days. Every afternoon at 3:45 he
will give a Bible reading. This hour
has been adopted so as to accommo-
date those who may be In attendance
at the schools. The readings will
close promptly at 4:30, so that they
are sure to be crisp and to the point.
DR.. Spurgeon said laughingly last
evening that while he had detained
his audience for an hour and a half
the first evening lecturing, it was
not his custom to preach to such
length. The evening services will
commence promptly at 7:45. The
theme of this evenings sermon will
be: Personal and Relative Relig-
ion" This afternoons Bible read
ing will deal with Hope" and that
of tomorrow afternoon with Bur
den Bearing"
The Baptists of this city feel high
ly gratified at being able to bring
here so fine a speaker and preacher,
and cordially invite others to the
feast of reason and the flow of soul.
