DETECToR FOR GALLsToNEs
University of Pennsylvania Doctor
DeveIops Flectro-Ac0ustic Detector

University of Pennsylvania Doctor
Develops Electro-Acoustic Detector
Announcement has been made of
an electro-acoustic gladstone de
tector," by University of Penn
sylvania doctor. The detector, de-
veloped by DR.. Charles K. Kirby, Of
the hospital will enable surgeons
Immediately to determine the exact
location of gallstones in the bile
duct, eliminating hazardous and
time-consuming procedures now in
use. Presentation of the highly
sensitive instrument was made be-
fore some $50 doctors attending
the centennial celebration meeting
of the Medical Society of the State
of Pennsylvania, in Convention
hall, Philadelphia. DR.. Kirby's
work on the detector was complet-
ed after nearly year of intensive
research, The actual construction
and perfection of the machine was
done by E. G. Thurston, research
engineer of the ordnance research
laboratories at Penn State. The
Kirby -Thurston gladstone detector
is the only one in existence. The
detector has been tested and used
thoroughly by the University hos
pital with excellent results. 1t is
a small instrument, the amplifier
being approximately the size of a
portable phonograph. The actual
detector or probe, is a thin tube
constructed like long phonograph
needle, with small crystal point.
When the probe is moved into the
bile duct and contacts a gladstone,
a sharp rapping sound may be
heard. The clarit and spacing of
the sounds enable the surgeon to
make an exact incision. The de-
tector was shown and explained to
the convention during a program
of medical and surgical procedures,
which was sponsored by Smith, |

Mrs. Michael Ditzig, presi-

to offer prayer, after which
the class repeated the Bible
verse which was chosen for its
motto at the beginning of the
year-"God is able to make

that We, always having all suf-
ficiency in all things, may
abound to every good work."

In His very first public dis
course, delivered in the Syna-
gogue of Nazareth, our Lord
proved that Divine Healing
was an integral part of the
Gospel and should be proclaim
ed in the house of God. In all
His teaching Divine Healing
was emphasized as an import
ant part of the work of the
ministry. The Great Commits

Gospel is the glad tidings of

Living, provided for all man.
kind through the atoning work
of Christ Jesus. Many have
availed themselves of the bless
ing of Salvation because that
phase of the Gospel has been
taught them from the Word
of God. However, it is the duty
of the ministry to teach the
whole of Gods Plan of Re-
demption. The message of the
Gospel should not be confined
solely to Salvation, leaving un-
touched the great truth of Di-
vine Healing. The Sanctuary
should bring blessing to the
suffering and afflicted, as we'll
as to the sinful. This Lesson
sets forth how Jesus carried on
the work of healing during the
services in the synagogue.

THE HEALING OF THE WOMAN WITH AN INFIRMITY
Luke Iuke1
Prepared BY Anton Darns, Oee Church
Zion,I illinois

God; she had come on this
Sabbath day to receive encour-
agement and help from her
Heavenly Father. Here, in the
place of worship she found the
Fountain of Life and Blessing,
for she came in contact with
the Great Physician. The heart
of the Savior was moved with
compassion for her, and He
said, "Woman, thou art loosed
from thine infirmity." He also
''laid His hands upon her; and
Immediately she was made
straight and glorified God"
Now her whole life was chang
ed! Her body throbbed with a
new life! Yes, she had reason
to "glorify God"
III JESUS JUSTIFIES THE
WOMAN'S HEALING ON
THE SABBATH - Verses
14-17; Job 1921; 2:1-1O;
Isaiah SIS: IA; Ephes. 6:
1918; II Cor. 4 :3-13; Pet
er 5:6-11.
Instead of rejoicing in this
wonderful work of mercy
which had been wrought, the
ruler of the synagogue was in
dignant because Jesus chad
healed on the Sabbath day."
He said, 'There are six days
in which men ought to work:
in them therefore come and be
healed, and not on the Sabbath
day." Sad that today many
ministers oppose the teaching
on Divine Healing. The ruler
sought to conceal his hypocrisy
under the guise of piety and re-
ligion. Jesus called him a n.y.
pocrite, saying, doth not each
one of you on the Sabbath
loose his OK or his ass from the
stall and lead him to water
ing?" Jesus was warranted in
justifying His act of healing
on the Sabbath, and He put to
shame call His adversaries''
ando "all the people rejoiced
for all the glorious things that
were done by Him.

TIE BLESSING FOR SPIRIT,

The woman in our Lesson
might have excused herself
from attending the synagogue
on account of her physical con-
dition. Many give all sorts of
excuses, for refusing Gods
call, as did the invited guests
to the Great Supper and to "the
marriage feast" The all-see-
ing eye of the Lord took spe-
cial note of this sadly afflict-
ed woman.

This woman, it would seem,
had been a healthy, normal
child and had a happy child
hood. However, as she enter
ed womanhood, she was seiz-
ed with ga spirit of infirmity,"
which bowed down her frame
until she "could in no wise lift
up herself" Life became
great burden to her. For eigh-
teen long wearisome years she
endured her affliction. Yet, as
she wended her way to the
Sanctuary, she was not with
out hope that God would i'm
part comfort and sustaining
grace to her.
This infirmity was not one
of demon-possession, yet it was
plainly the work of Satan. Sa-
tan is the author of disease as
we'll as of sin and evil, as is
clearly seen in the story of Job.
This woman was a true child
of God, for Jesus referred to
her as "a daughter of Abra-
ham," She loved the House of
