RAILWAY TRAIN RADIO
TRANSMISSION ISSUCCESS
Experiments in England, Including
Reception of Messages, Reported
as Amateur Achievement.

LONDON, August 2.-Experiments
having to do with the reception and
transmission of radio signals from a
moving train have been carried out
here successfully by a number of
radio amateurs connected with the
Radio Society of Great Britain. On
a run from this city to Newcastle. a
distance of 276 miles, messages were
exchanged with station 6XX here and
amateur stations along the route.
6XX is the official station of the
Radio Society of Great Britain and,
through pre-arrangement with Philip
r. Coursey, secretary, 1T was made
available for the experiment.
A special car was attached to the
Scotch Express through the courtesy
of the London and Northeastern Rail-
way Company. This was fitted up
with an amateur transmitter and
short-wave receivers. Unlike most
experiments of this kind. the aerial,
instead of being strung along the top
of the coach, was located inside.
stretched through the car from end
to end.
Some of the two-way communica-
tion with amateur stations was car
ried on over a distance of 100 miles.
The power used was very small and
Although complete record of the
tests has not been made public. it is
understood that railway officials are
much impressed with the results.
Station 6XX represents the best in
English amateur sets and is operated
with more than the customary power
of 10 watts through a special permit
obtained from the British post office.
The circuit used is the loose coupled
Hartley. During the transatlantic
tests of last year the signals of this
station were heard more than 50
times by amateurs in America.

Jesus returned from His trium-
phant victory over Satan in the
wilderness to the Jordan to take up
His mission of establishing "the
kingdom Of God" His first task was
to gather few disciples whom He
could fit by daily fellowship to be-
come helpers in the establishment Of
Christianity among men. He knew
the type OF men whom He wished to
call to follow Him and learn by
daily companionship the precepts and
principles that would fill them with
life from above and infuse them with
His spirit. He sought men whose
life touched humanity in their needs.
SO that they would be sympathetic
with His message. He desired men
who were mentally prepared to un-
derstand His gospel. 1t was natural
therefore for Him to seek His first
disciples from among the followers
or John rather than from among the
scribes and pharisees.

the ministry OF the Baptist was be-
Ing investigated by the Sanhedrim.

interest Of the nation compelled them

not the Christ" being merely His
roadbuilder and way shower. but
The Baptist has made these replies
publicly, so that the people stand
ing about could hear his answers.
The very day that John had made the
dennite announcement Of the Mes
siah's presence an event took place
m r al ri In in
istry of the Baptist. The sudden ap-
proach Of Jesus caused John to alb
ruptly point Him out as the one Of
whom he had been speaking, declar-
ing that He had been pointed out to
the prophet by God himself.
Johns Testimony.
John revealed the greatness OF His
character when He pointed out to
the multitude, who did not heed him,
and the next day to two of His dis
ciples, the Lord as the Lamb of
God. His testimony was drawn from
the Scriptures and the Sacrificial serv-
ices. While the public was looking
for great political leader with a
slogan that would kindle the patriot
ism of the Jews into the flames of a
revolution which would burn the
Roman power out of the Holy Land.
that the moral and spiritual mission
of the Messiah transcends the peoples
political aspirations. Whether John
made any references to the Scriptures
or the sacrificial symbolism In ex-
planning the meaning of the Lamb
of God" the title that he gave to
Christ rather than Messiah, we don't
know, but we do known that his
testimony went straight to the CEN
trial doctrine of the atonement.
His testimony to Jesus as the sin
bearer does not refer to original sin,
as some have supposed, by which He
freed the world from the guilt of
inh erited sin, but it refers to the
fact of the unity of sin in respect
to the unity of the race" While the
Master had come to be the Messiah
for the Jews, John pointed Him out
as the sin bearer for the whole hu-
man race.
The great prophetic soul did not
hesitate one moment to encourage
some of his strongest supporters to

Speaker Says Quakers Have En-

INDIANAPOLIS. August 2-"The
Society of Friends today has rep

deserts, because it dares to maintain
its peace testimony in time of war"
said DR.. A. G. Purdy Of Hartford
Theological Seminary, in addressing
the Young Friends Conference here

"Quakerism in action is nothing
less than a passion for friendship,
which cuts across race. class, color,
nationality and every other barrier
which separates man from his fellow
beings" DR.. Purdy said.
"The Quakers were the only re-
ligious body to protest against war
and to begin service of love in war
time. Some Friends felt that If
Quakers did not support the war their
influence would be gone forever. The
reverse has proved true"
