CONTRACTS LET
Hines Announces Arrange.
ments for 80 of 40 Veteran
Bureau Hospitals.

Contracts have been let for the in
stallation of radio in 80 of the ~
hospitals operated by the Veterans
Bureau, Il was announced today by
Director Frank T. Hines.
OF the other 10 hospitals, 1t was
said, equipment has been donated
for 4. and Is are already either par
TALLY or completely equipped. Addi-
tfonal apparatus is being constantly
added.
"In all new hospitals under con-
struction or now being designed" said
a statement today from the bureau,
"conduits and wiring are being in
cluded as part Of the regular cleo
trical system so that radio sets can
be installed as soon as each hospital
is opened. The installations consist
of a master receiving set with two
or more circuits Of wiring extending
to the various buildings. In tuber-
culosis and general hospitals a head
set is being provided ut each bed and
loud speakers in the assembly rooms.
In neuro-psychiatric hospitals only
loud speakers are being Installed in
wards and assembly rooms.
LAS long ago as August, 1928. the
subject OF radio installation In the
hospitals was discussed. A set was
installed at Mount Alto by the General
EleCtTlC Co., ana experiments were
conducted, with the aid of experts
from the Army and Navy and Bureau
of Standards, with the purpose of de-
veloping the best possible equipment
for the bureaus use. Definite specifi-
cation were finally issued.
I'm March, 1924. the Roxie commit
tee inaugurated drive for funds to
furnish radios for various hospitals.
Director Hines very gladly cooper
ated with the committee in this en-
deavor and a complete installation
was made at Mount Alto by the bu-
reau. while the committee equipped
Walter Reed and the Naval Hospital.
The outfit at Mount Alto includes 3s1
lead sets, three loud speakers and a
master radio receiving set.
"In June, 1894. the Electric Testing
Laboratories of New York offered to
furnish q complete equipment for
Veterans Bureau Hospital at Little
Rock. Ark, and this offer was gladly
accepted, while about the same time
the Chicago Daily News made q SINH
lar offer for the Edward P. Hines,
Jr., Hospital and they are having the
Roxie committee furnish the equip
ment.
1.-The Veterans Hospital at the
Bronx, N. Y, is indebted to q pa
triotic local citizen for the donation
Of complete equipment there and in
stallation Is expected to be completed
this month" ---

The faintest OF footsteps caused
Reddy to look up. A shadowy form
appeared coming down one Of the old
cowpaths. 1t was Mrs. Reddy She
stopped close to Reddy. He didn't lift
his head. Well" said Mrs. Reddy,
what have you got to say for your
self
Nothing. my dear" mumbled Reddy
meekly. excepting that I'm so thank
full nothing happened to you"
Something did happen to me-" re-
torted Mrs. Reddy. Some Of those
shot hit me. It's a wonder I'm alive.
1 suppose you know II is all your
fault"
Yes" replied Reddy in a very low
voice.
Didn't l warn you to keep away
from that chicken yard? 2" demanded
Mrs. Reddy.
Yes" replied Reddy, In still
lower voice
IF you had kept away from that
chicken yard" continued Mrs. Reddy
those hunters wouldn't have tried to
get you today. They wouldn't have
ruined our home. Now we haven't any
home. We have got to make new
home. And 1t is all because you didn I
have sense enough to keep away from
that henhouse."
II know it." said Reddy very hum
bly,. ut was every bit my fault. L
II haven't word to say for my
self"
But rye something to say" said
Mrs. Reddy, and she proceeded to say
1t. My, how that tongue did go, She
pointed out to Reddy that few people
can get into trouble without making
trouble foT others who are innocent
She told him that he deserved all that
he had suffered during that day. My,
my, her tongue certainly did go, And
Reddy didn't have word to say. He
was very, very humble
Finally Mrs. Reddy said: Lets eat
Reddy looked up in surprise. Mrs.
Reddy went behind bush and
brought out a fat, speckled hen and
laid II down in front Of Reddy. You
should have seen the expression on
Reddy's face. He didn't know what to
say. Mrs. Reddy grinned. Then she
told him how she had gotten even by
catching that hen. But It is the last
one we'll take from that henhouse,' -
said she. Remember that-it is the
last one" Then they settled down to
enjoy their dinner, and while they
ate they planned a new home

Sunday School Lesson

of her claims and the gen.
uineness of Lazarus death. Possibly
it may have been for this reason
that Jesus called for human assist
ance when performing the greatest
miracle. of His life by raising Laza-
rus from the dead.
Following His practice of COM
muning with the Heavenly Father
before undertaking any new work of
Importance, Jesus offered public
prayer that no impostor would have
dared to make, thanking Jehovah
for the power given Him over
death that He was about to utilize.
His prayer was offered in a public
manner and He called for Lazarus
to come forth in loud voice" be-
cause He desired to influence the
Lord of Life. Augustine suggests
that He called Lazarus by name, as
He did not desire that "all the hosts
of the dead should hear His voice
and come forth together" The ODE
dience of the dead to the voice of the
Master was public proof that death
does not end all. The request that
they should loose Lazarus from his
grave clothes enabled them to public
ly test the reality of the miracle.
He calls upon US to help Him re-
has placed upon men of our time, as
much as He did the cooperation of
others in removing the grave clothes
from Lazarus.
This crowning miracle of Christ
demonstrated that physical death is
not an evil. 1t is only an incident
in the endless life of all who have
faith in Jesus as the resurrection
and the life. Lazarus was raised to
live a. life that was practically
Identical with what he had lived be-
fore his death. His raising was
prophetic of the coming resurrection,
when Jesus. who proved that He was
the Master over death then. as later
at His own resurrection, will compel
the grave to give up its dead, even
as He compelled the tomb to give
up the body of Lazarus. This miracle
created a crisis that called for i'm
m rebate action on the part of re-
ligisus and political leaders, who
combined in an effort to put Christ
to death, that enabled Jesus to dem
onstrate beyond question by His VIC
tory over the grave that He was
indeed the Resurrection and the Life.
The one who lives in Christ has no
need to fear death. They possess
now the resurrection and the life,
that can not be destroyed by death.
Jesus has given to us an abundant
and everlasting life, because He is
the resurrection and life, freeing all
from the power of death through
faith in Him.

had told him when at last they had
lost her trail and couldn't find it
again. He knew that Mrs Reddy was
safe and he knew that sooner or later
she would return to the ruined home
in the Old Pasture. .t
He was eager to sec her, yet he
dreaded her return. 1t had been ter
rible day. the worst day in all his
life. 1t would have been bad enough
anyway, but the knowledge that it

worse. He couldn't forget that Mrs.
