the real needs were what He must
meet in spite of the insistent wants
of the people clamoring for healing of
bodies. "Other villages" were to be
told of the Kingdom and that passion
for others was the driving force in
all the activities of our Lord as tits at
the heart of the whole missionary
movement that is girdling the world
with hospitals, schools, homes and
churches. So in spite of the call the
group set out on its journeyings
that reached much of Galilee with the
good news. There was no Messiah
ship. but the call to repentance in
preparation for the Kingdom already
at the door was told and retold. In
the midst of it there pressed into His
presence a gaunt figure from whose
contact men shrank away and left an
open lane to the feet of Jesus before
before whom he threw himself with
utmost abandon and with piteous
plea. 1t was a leper and the spirit of
Jesus was stirred by the need but dis
tressed also by the possible effect of
healing upon His plans. How did the
leper sense the struggle in the mind
of Jesus? For his appeal was to
that and not to the power in which
he had the utmost faith. Christ could
heal him. How the conviction had
come no one knows, but even in the
presence of an unheard of thing, with
the leprous condition that slow death,
he knew there was power enough in
this Man for complete restoration but
would He use it? There was agita-
ton, but with His intense sympathy
how could He refuse such faith? Was
He willing? Oh, so wonderfully will
ing that the whole pressure was to
help and the conflict was the balanc-
ing of courses in the light of the
Kingdom And the heart of a Man
beat next the heart of another man,
brushed aside all conventions eccle-
SItSIlCdl VI SOCidI VI SdiIIlctI as liz
crossed every barrier and laid upon
the harsh skin the first hand that
had touched it in years. Whatever
happened the worlds first need was
to know Gods willingness and Jesus
would risk even the Kingdom mes
sage's delivery upon making that
clear. He guarded it with every COM
mand for silence that He could give
knowing the risk. And it was as He
expected, for the mans reports forced
Him into the deserts into which people
broke paths that they might find Him
for healing. But forever men will
understand that ours is willing God
whether healing is refused as it was
for Paul or not. The heart of the
eternal beats next our own and our
soul sings even in disappointments.

crcaSing Cost Of Telephone
Plant and Equipment
4 ONE of our big tasks today is to pro-
Il ~ vide the plant and equipment necessary to
II meet the demands of the people of Maryland for
Il more telephone service.
II lEach telephone added to the system
requires additional plant and equipment During
Il the last five years the number of telephones
i added in Maryland has been AZ 900; a increase
Il of So per cent. But the increase in telephone
fl plant during the period has been Ga per cent
II Thus, while the growth in telephones has been
Il large, it has been greatly exceeded by the in
II crease in plant.
l Stated another way, the plant per
II telephone in service in 1919 averaged $151OO
Il 1t is now $4,000 and in 1928 it will be more
I than $4,000 per telephone.
Il q You ask why. 1t is because of the
present high cost of building plant-first, to ex=
tend the system, and, second, to old plant
II built at low pre-war COSTS with plant built
III at presentday costs.
l This process of extending and re-
IL placing plant and equipment is constantly going
IL 1t is part of this Company's obligation to
ii give service to the people OF Maryland. But our
present rates designed to yield a return,
II not the average plant per telephone today,
but as it stood in 1920
II u 1t takes more net earnings now to
pay return the property than it did in 1920.
This is of the why we must ask for
moderate increases in our rates
