Examinations Ahead!

Examinations will be held. the
10th and 30th of this month during
the regular class period Each
teacher makes out his exam for his
class and may give it either We'd
nesday or Thursday. The exam does
not have to take the full period but
may not be more than the usual sixty
minutes.
The teachers usually have some
reviewing before exams but personal
review on the part of the student
will do no harm and it certainly will
refreshen his mind. However, it is
not advisable to 'cram" at the last
minute. If you pay attention in
class and study each night there is
no need to worry about examinations.

THE BOW OF PROMISE
BY Una c. Rands

lovely rainbow-magic band
Our gray and sodden rain clouds

AT either end, we're joking, told,
We'd find the fairy pots of gold.
Yet now our bird-men of the skies
Have seen afar no golden prize,
But found the bow viewed from the
height
glorious circle-wonderous sight.
We walk this life with fearful eyes,
DO we view Heaven as a prize;
Some magic gift to us to pay,
For wakeful nights and weary day?
When Gods love, shining through our
tears,
Turns to beauty earthly fears;
/ fancy, as we climb on high,
And view the prospect from the sky
We too will find a perfect whole
This wondrous circle of the soul,
iod's Kingdom in our hearts below,
IN heaven will full completion know

AND FIGURES
ON YOUR
TELEPHONE:
By

Telephoning the world is more and
more becoming an established fact.
Estimates made ty American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company Stats
ticians indicate that there are now
about S4,640,0O0 telephones through
out the world, 81 per cent of this num-
Der serving cities, towns and commune
ties in North America. Last year there
was an increase Of about 100000 tele-
phones over the globe. This was gain
of 3.56 per cent over the number of
telephones in service on January !,
1885.
In North America the increase was
estimated to be 495,0O0 telephones,
making total Of 18,775,000 instru-
ments. In South America it is esti-
mated that there are now 100000 tele-
phones as compared with 100000 on
January of last year. European coun-
tries are now served by 12,570,000
telephones as compared with 1876
900 January /. 1885; Asia by 1920, 900
as compared with 1,480,000; Africa
by 100000, an increase of 10000 over
January I, 1885, and Oceania by 1885,
900, which is gain of 10000 during
1885.
Estimates of telephone usage show
that there are now fifty billion tale-
phone messages made annually
throughout the world, about one-ha,f
of these calls originating in the United
States.
With the rapid expansion of world
telephone service in recent years, it
is now possible to interconnect about
90 per cent of all the telephones. Tele-
phone service between the United
States and countries other than Cana
da, Cuba, and Mexico was made avail
able with the establishment of trans
oceanic service, January z, 1927. This
world network has now been extended
to more than sixty countries and geo.
graphical locations in nearly all parts
Of the world.

snow will not melt as quickly in the
rills, gullies and depressions as 1t
will on the ridges, no matter how
small they are, and SO will clearly
outline these excavations made by
erosion. Factors, such as steepness
of land, location and severity Of
erosion, can then be taken into con-
sideration in planning method Of
correction for later on in the year.

WHEN WE BEGIN OUR ETERNAL
CAREER
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Some day when Lies journey is over,
Through the valley without any fear,
With Jesus, our Blessed Redeemer,
And begin our Eternal career.
Many conflicts in life will be ours,
With the passing of year after year
But victory forever and ever,
When we begin our Eternal career.
There are burdens we all must carry,
AS we sojourn for little while here
No burdens, no sorrows or heartaches,
When we begin our Eternal career.
In that Home of the Many Mansions,
No shedding of one single tear.
With Jesus and loved ones and Heaven
When we begin our Eternal career.

And the Fountain of Life ever flowing
In that land of eternal Spring.
Office Up There in the Homeland,
No sorrow or heartache nor pain;
Sweet peace passing all understanding
Where all shall be young again.
Office Up There in the Homeland
While eternal ages roll,
The Crown of Life will be ours,
Blessed Homeland of the Soul
Office Up There and the singing
Around the great white Throne,
To be with our loved ones forever,

THEORY REVEALED
Einstein Announces Discov-
cry Light Rays "Bend"
Near Bodies.
BY HOWARD W. BLAKEsLEE,

Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK, December 4.-Prof.
Albert Einstein yesterday gave the
world another mathematical discovery,
. celestial wonder new to astronomy,
lhowing that the space near q star
b magnifying glass.
It means that one star can, with i'm
proved astronomical instruments, be
. nagnifying glass, or telescope, for
better seeing Of another. more dis
tant star. The reason. he explains, is
the bending of light rays when they
pass near the sun or any other mas
ave star.
Rays Collect IN Space.
The rays. he finds, collect In this
space as they would in lens. Then
at certain distant points the rays 50
collected are focused, like the focus
Of a spy glass, opera glass or telescope.
Human eyes, at the right point in
space, would see this star-focussed
image. There are stars suitably lined
up. one far behind the other, to be
seen In this manner from earth. But
Prof. Einstein points out that present
optical equipment and present resolv-
ing power Of telescopes is not suf-
ficient to make these space images
visible.
He announces the liens" effect. in

1919 Eclipse a Factor.
The star magnifying glasses e
back to the world-famous eclipse OF
the sun in 1919 which was the first
verification Of Einstein's general theory
Of relativity.
Stars whose light passed close to
the sun during eclipse we're photo.
graphed. Six months later, when
again in the same position, but with
the sun no longer near them, they
were rephotographed on the same
plates.
The star rays did not fall on the
same places in the Photographic plates
showing that the rays had been de.
hected, inward toward the sun. wher
they passed close to it during tht
eclipse.
