ter few hours instruction. The dis
covery has since been followed W
with great perseverance and assiduity
and it is now recognized by the rub
Der experts that the Peachy process
will be useful in dozens of ways in the
manufacture of such commodities as
boots, clothing, paving, floor covering
upholstery, tiles-in fact the whole
WATERPROOF industry will undergo q
change revolutionary in character.
Truly what a welcome change is
here suggested, for we all-especially
those amid the traffic and hustle of
town life-realize more or less the
terrors underlying the nerve-racking
noises Of the present time. Bible stu
dents are also among those who view
this and similar discoveries with fav-
or; for they verify believe that GER
tain amount of quietude, especially
amid the surroundings of delightful
nature, induces a calm, restful, medi-
tative spirit, a mental concentration
so essential for the exercise of the
higher impulses. This they believe
will be a necessary adjunce to human
ity in the Golden Age.
The prophet Isaiah also tells of an
age of quietude-::Jn returning and
rest shall We be saved, in quietness and
confidence shall be your strength"
Again, "The work of righteousness
shall be peace and the effect of right
eousness quietness and assurance for
ever; my people shall dwell in 9
peaceable habitation and in quiet
resting places".-Isaiah 30:15; 32:17,
18.
So much for this point of view. And
now comes still another foregleam
which we may term the worlds wire
less concert To explain this we can
not do better than quote the words of
the Italian, Aldo Cassuto, whose
voice was flung nine hundred miles
away, from London to Rome. He
says: Speaking to somebody who is
nearly thousand miles away, with
nothing between US but ether, is a
strange sensation. The men who are
listening to me are people / know.
Some of them are very good friends,
and can imagine l see their faces
bearing the marks of anxiety for the
success of the coming miracle.
throw my voice into the mouthpiece,
and tell them that / am the friend
they know, that they should recognize
my voice, that / am very glad to talk
with them. But l cannot have an ans
wer from them. The wireless sta
tons in Rome are not powerful
enough to transmit the voice to Ich
a distance. They are condemned to be
dumb; l am condemned to be deaf.
Will they hear me? Unjust confess
did not feel quite sure of it until
saw the wireless telegram of my edi-
tor at Rome, announcing tht the mes
sage got through all right"
This recalls another remarkable in
cident in London government build
ing, when in the presence of some
members of parliament a colonel en-
tered into conversation with some air
men wi'o were travelling niles away
at great speed in their machines. The
voices Of the air men, including one of
their songs, were heard distinctly by
the honorary gentlemen, who were all
keenly interested in the experiment.
AS further proof of the bona-fide-
ness of the messages sent and receiv-
ed, the airmen were asked to assemble
in the evening at certain place to
dine, which was accordingly verbally
accepted and fulfilled.
What a marvellous foregleam of the
Golden Age this news becomes! Even
at its birth we are astonished, and we
can we'll foresee that as soon as such
lines of communication are perfectly
established, two or more individuals a
thousand miles apart will be able to
converse and reach a decision. And
what great convenience this may be
for those grand worthless when they
rise from their sleeping condition
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses,
Joshua, David and such like-who, as
representatives of Jesus Christ and
His Bride the "little fiock", will be the
visible representatives in the glori-
Gus kingdom to be established world
wide.
Thus TIE handicap of distance will
be largely mitigated; for if David
happened to be in London, Joseph in
New York, and Abraham and others
in Jerusalem. thoughts and reflections
over any given matter could be COM
municated one to another Immediate
ly, and oneness of viewpoint main
tanned. Thus-"He sendeth forth
his commandment upon the earth, and
his word runneth swiftly" fPsa. 147.
