BY REV. HUGH r. STEVENSON.


Sickness is no respector of persons.
IL nils the home of the poor with
anxious moments. 1t penetrates with
it's peril the palace of the rich. AL
though great advancement has been
made by the medical profession in
controlling epidemics and curing
physical ailments. the entrance of any
serious illness fills the members Of
the home with the realization of the
limitations of human knowledge and
power No disease ever baff1ed the
Lord Jesus, whose ministry of heal
ing added tremendously to His popu-
larity as a preacher and teacher.
The medical missionary has opened
wide the doors of the mission field
FOR the entrance of the Gospel mes
sage, just as the healing of the no.
bleman's SON prepared the way for
the beginning of Christ's ministry in
GalIlee. Jesus had turned His face
toward the heights Of Northern Pal
estine, when He passed through Sa-
maria, where He tarried for a brief
ministry, as a result of His talking
with the woman of Samaria at Jacobs
well. The success of those two days
may have prompted the Masters re-
mark that prophet hath no honor
in his own country" He had pre-
sented Himself during His ministry in
Judea to the national leaders as the
Messiah and had been rejected. The
attitude of the Samaritans must have
thrilled Him as He faced the Cali
leans with whom He had been asso-
ciated since His boyhood days. He
knew their freedom from the tradi-
tons of Jerusalem. 1t may have
caused Him to hope that He could
arouse their zeal for Him to such an
extent that the whole nation would
be persuaded to accept Him as their
Messiah.
Cana, where He sanctioned mar
rage by turning water into wine, was
the first place in Galilee that Christ
visited upon His return from His Ju-
dean ministry. Probably He passed
through Nazarath. because His moth
er was in Cana, where she had a large
part in the wedding activities, when
the Master manifested His glory by
the beginning Of His miracles. His
fame had been increased by the re-
ports of His miraculous power, re-
vealed during the feasts at Jerusa-
lem. The Galileans who were at the
feasts had filled the section with re-
ports of His greatness. His pres
ence in Cana was soon known by the
wireless method Of earlier days when
rapidly from place to place the news
of Importance spread from indivld-
uals to othters by word of mouth.
The Nobleman's Petition.
Twenty-Five miles away in Caper-
naum the news of the Prophets re-
turn brought a ray Of hope to a
servant of Herod AntipaS. The
nobleman, who was not only an officer
of the king. but also in all probability
of royal birth, had a son who was
dangerously ILL Serious illness has
driven many a man to think Of
religion when he has been Indifferent
to the claims Of God and of his
obligations to Him during the days of
health. If the nobleman had con-
sidered that his home was secured
against the ravages of sickness. he
changed his mind, when he was COM
PEELED to enter the valley of the
shadow of death with his beloved son.
The beautiful home was scene of
sorrow. Wealth could not push away
the dreaded death. No physician

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY

Radio Editor of Popular Science MONTHLY

ondary depends on how closely or
loosely the coils Ii and LIZ are cou-
pied. In the loose-coupler form of
tuner, the coupling is changed by
varying the distance of the coils
from each other, moving them close
the same axis. The coupling is said
to be "close" or tight" when the
coils are close to each other and
loose" when they are at a greater
distance from each other. In the
variocoupler type OF tuner, the same
effect is obtained by using two coils
arranged concentrically with each
other, with one of the coils mounted
on a movable shaft so that 1t can
be turned to change the relative posi-
tfon OF the axes of the coils from a
point where both axes are in the
same line to a point where the axes
OF the coils are at right angles to
each other.
When the axes are in the same line
the coupling is said to be "close" or
tight" while when the axes are at
right angles to each other the cou-
pling is said to be 'loose."
The greatest transfer of energy
takes place when the coupling is
close. SO that it would seem that in
designing radio tuning circuits the
desirable thing to do would be to
make the coupling between the aerial
and grid circuits close rather than
loose.
There are other factors, however,
which must be considered. While
close coupling gives the greatest
transfer of energy, it also has some
decided disadvantages.
The Reactance Curves.
A study Of the reactance curves
Of two coils at different degrees of
coupling reveals that there are two
frequencies at which the reactance
Is zero and the current, therefors,
at maximum. In the case Of closely
coupled circuits these frequencies are
very far apart, while in the case Of
very loosely coupled circuits they are
very close together. A closely cou-
pied receiver then will tune in two
different freQuencies equally well on
the same settings Of the constants
