A Sermon for Today
Our Walled-Up Life.
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.

He hath walled up my ways
Lam, iii.9.
All life is given to us rigidly walled
up. One of the first things we learn in
childhood is that we must not do
what we like. And we have to keep
remembering that lesson as we grow
up. If we would make anything worth
ought, not what we like. It may be
the prerogative of the brute to do as
it likes, but man does not have that
prerogative.
The world is not an open common
on which we may wander at will. There
are certain boundary walls within
which alone it is safe for man to
live.
There is the wall of certain physical
laws beyond which we dare not VEN
ture, except at our peril. We have
to keep our impulses and inclinations
under lock and key. Our animal de-
sires have to be held within rigidly
marked limits. Otherwise we sacrifice
both our health and happiness.
There is the wall of social laws and
customs. Woe be to the man who de-
fies the moral code of society. One
cannot set at naught even the conven-
tional restrictions of society without
laying himself liable to Islander and
opposition of all sorts. Besides this,
society encompasses us with obligations
to the people round about US, which we
cannot ignore and maintain a decent
standing.
And there is the wall of the divine
law and will No man can break over
this wall without jeopardizing his soul
and every interest of life.
To be thus walled UP does not make
life monotonouS or unfree. These
walls are designed, not only for our
safety. but to make life free, beautiful
and happy.

did not dare come to the surface to
communicate with their home base.
The scouting planes cruised back and
forth over the waters, their mechanical
ears alert for the first sound from a
U-boat's radio. If such message was
intercepted, the compass and range
finder were brought into play and the
exact position of the enemy craft ascer-
tanned.
The plane then communicated this
information to the fleet and sub-chasers
were sent under full steam to the desig-
mated spot. Depth bombs were sent
down, and, unless the raider had made
the quickest of getaways. his end was
written on the ocean surface in a
spreading circle of oil, which told the
watchers In the air that the bomb had
found its mark.
During the early part of the war a
greatly improved type of set was de-
veloped for use in airplanes.
The old air sets were operated by
a button attached to the pilots leg
with a strap. The key was as large
as an ordinary tea saucer, so 1t could
be manipulated by the cold-stiffened
fingers Of the pilot, despite the heavy
gloves worn in the air.
In the early sets ground contact was
made with q weight attached to the
end of a reel OF wire, which was low
cred through a trap door in the bot
tom Of the plane This weight was
shaped like the body of a fish. so 1t
would not spin while going down and

adds, one at time, ammonia, ethyl
ether and ethyl alcohol, and after the
addition of each gives the bottle a
thorough shaking to assure that each
fluid does its part in dissolving the va
rious solids of the raw milk.
Having done this he finds that the
fat dissolved by the ether comes to the
top To hasten this process the bottle
is placed in centrifuge which whirls
the bottles at terrific speed and by
means of the centrifugal force throws
the heavier solids to the bottom OF the
bottle and brings the fats in ether to
the top. The chemist pours the fat So
luton carefully from the bottle into the
previously weighed dishes, evaporates
the ether on a hot plate and places
tie product in the desiccator. Great
care must be exercised in order to pre-
vent other solids than the fat from
coming into the dish.
The fat solution is then left in the
desiccator and in turn, in the cooler for
the same period as the empty dish was.
Having brought the pan to the point
of weighing, the chemist is forced to
move quickly In the final operation, for
the dish and its contents, absolutely
dry, quickly pick UP moisture from the
air. ANY delay, even of 10 seconds,
viii usually throw the entire test out.
This test is repeated twice in order to
verify the findings.
The use of skim milk or cream de-
ponds entirely on whether the product
Is to contain per cent or more Of but
terfat and upon the composite test for

proximateiy ASS per cent Of sugar.

was made thousands of dollars were ex-
pended In tests and alterations.
The manholeS of the early submarines
were so small that the radio sets for
their use had to be built In sections
so they could be taken apart whenever
IL was necessary to carry them In or out.
A set Of this type was built and in
stalled. It worked perfectly, the metal
casing making no perceptible difference.
The greatest drawback to the subma-
rine sets was that the ship had to rise
to the surface Of the water before it
could send or receive messages. I'm
told sums Of money were lost In futile
efforts to develop some kind of set which
could be operated under water, but only
in recent months has any success been
attained along these lines.
The German submarines during the
late war were equipped with somewhat
similar devices, also necessitating them
to rise before transmitting a message,
and this handicap proved to be great
advantage to the American and other
allied governments.
~
nURING the years of the war, the
radio compass and range finder
were perfected to the point where they
became practicable in airplanes.
The allied fleets, searching for Ger
man undersea raiders. sent up scout
planes equipped with the compass and
range finder
The effectiveness of the submarines
was Immediately nullified because they
