The exterior of the church paint
ed the Parish House renovated both
exterior and interior and many
changes made in the latter: The in

Gently completed at an expense of
over $4,000.
The chime of eleven bells given by
the late Mrs. King and used for the
first time, last Christmas eve, two
gifts given but not placed: one hand
some carved memorial doors filled
with transparent loaded and cathe-
dral glass between the church and
the chapel and the other gift a very

The growth of the church has been
satisfactory. There are now 443 COM

The influence of st. Marks church
in the community is one Of. the
strong forces for Righteousness, said
the pastor and he stated four rea-
sons why the Episcopal church APP

people. First. her historic continuity
from the Church of the Apostles;
second. her positive faith Jesus

three, sacramental religion.
DR.. Purves urged his hearers to
speak for the church. never apollo
glze for the church. Second, come to
church, If all of us were as faithful
as some of us are, we would need a
| new church before long. Third. Be
! very cordial and gracious to the
visitors who may come. Fourth. And
most important of all, witness for

Denominations may be dying. but

of the end Of ten years of service

zone of the first things which i'm
presses one as he looks back over ten
years is the number OF changes
which have taken place in that time
in the church and the community.
Many faces are missed from our
congregation and from our homes.
Many have moved to other places and
many more have answered the call to
enter into life eternal And many more
have come to take the places of those
who have gone. We speak to a con-
stantly changing procession.
Another thing which impresses
one is the variety of the service
which calls one. In my own case my
service has been varied indeed.

secondly, the privileges Of SER

its zest and its compensations. AS
has already been said there have
been many calls for service but they
have adj been counted as privileges,
because they gave the opportunity to
touch other lives with the helpful
words of counsel or the deeper words

The Factors Which Determine
Resistance.

There are many factors which must
be considered in determining the re-
sistance or apparent resistance of a
circuit.
The direct current resistance or OPP
position to the flow of a direct cur
rent in a circuit is dependent chtefiy
on the material of which the con.
ductor which carries the current is
made and its size.
A resistor is a conductor which in
PRODUCES resistance in a circuit. A
rheostat is a resistor so arranged and
made that its resistance can be varied
within it's range.
An ohm is the unit of resistance.
Multiples and submultiples' of this unit
are used for larger and Smaller units
of resistance. A column of mercury,
1868 centimeters long, with a cross
sectional area of one square milli-
meter, has a resistance of exactly one
ohm. This corresponds to column of
mercury about az feet long and .0015
square inches in cross-sectional area.
A piece of No. Ia copper wire, such as
used In constructing an aerial, re-
auires $50 feet to produce resistance
OF one ohm.
Conductors Vary in Weight.
Different conductors vary consider
ably in weight for equal bulk and in
rekistiVity for a given bulk, so that
some means must be provided to give
an idea of their relative resistance
qualities.
The resistivity of conductors is com.
pared in terms of the resistance Of a
given material per milfoot. A circular
mil has been chosen as unit of area.
