ULTRA RAY Is MENACING
SAYS ELECTRICAL EXPERT

Paris = Professor Daniel Berthold,
president of the International Associ-
alton of Electricians, submitted re-
Gently to the Society of Civil Engin-
GERS a report on his recent researches
into the ultraviolet rays from mercury
vapor lamps. He characterized them
as more dangerous than any other
known rays, saying they caused opthal-
mia and ultimately blindness, burned
the skin and produced effects similar
to sunstroke.
In some of their effects, however,
they were beneficial, he said, as they
killed many types of microbes by a
few seconds exposure and made drink
ing water sterile.

pleasing and forceful manner, taking
for his text, God is Love- as record
ed in John As. God is not wisdom
although wisdom is an attribute of
God. God is not power although pow
err Is another attribute. But God Is
love. The Bible is Gods love-letter
and is full of messages OF love. God
reveals His love by Dardoning our
sins. Man is already condemned and
lit is by an act of pardon that he is
saved. God reveals Els love by tax
ing account of our sins. If He did not
point out pitfalls He would not be
faithful God reveals His love by the
provision He has made for our sal
vation
The test of love is sacrifice. With
out sacrifice there could not be love.
God suffered when He sent His son
into the world, Christ suffered when
He left His heavenly home TO die for
the salvation of men.
