Bible Questions
And Answers
ALBERT F. RANDOLPH

Question: Does God command
us to keep the Sabbath? What is
the blessing for so doing?
Answer: Yes God does GER
tainly command US to keep the
Sabbath. The fourth command
ment very definitely says in
Exodus 20:8, Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six
days shall shalt thou labor, and
do all thy work" The blessing
of God certainly follows those
who carefully observe this as
we'll as all of Gods laws. In
Isaiah 56:2 we read, Blessed is
the man that doeth this, and the
son of man that layeth hold on
it: that keepeth the sabbath
from polluting it, and keepeth
his hand from doing evil" Again
in Isaiah 58:13, ii we read, "If
thou turn away thy foot from
the sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day; and
call the sabbath a delight, the
holy of <the Lord, honourable;
and shalt honour him, not doing
thine own ways, nor finding
thine own pleasure, nor speak
ing thine own words: Then shalt
thou delight thyself in the
Lord ;and l will cause thee to
ride upon the high places of the
earth, and feed thee with the
heritage of Jacob thy father: for
the mouth of the Lord hath
spoken It." Keep the Sabbath
day holy by all means.
Question: If person with a
living companion (though
divorced) marries person who
has no living companion, which
one is guilty of adultery?
Answer: This question of
divorce and remarriage keeps
coming up in one form or an
other. The only answer that can
be given is that Both are guilty
of adultery according to the
word of God. Notice Matt. 1919,
And / say unto you, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and shall
marry another, committeth
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1954-01-07

adultery, and whose marrieth
her which is put away doth COM
NIT adultery" In Luke 1919 we
also read, "Whosoever putteth
away his wife, and marrieth an
other, committeth adultery: and
whosoever marrieth her that is
put away from her husband COM
mitteth adultery" How careful
people should be about this
awful sin, and how careless
many are. Many do not know
Gods word and get thus tangled
up, and the devil tells them that
they can never get free. Again
the devil is a liar, John 8.44.

Steady Growth Of Instrument Firm
And Towns Post Office Go Hand-ln-Hand

The Bluffton Post Office has grown
with it's Number l customer, the
Triplett Electrical Instrument compa-
ny, and it's development to the status
of first class office in July of 1851
was due mainly to the increased use
of the mails by the towns principal
industry.
Postmaster Ed Reichenbach will
tell you that the fact that Bluffton
had its modern Post Office building
erected in 1941 is also due mainly to
the fact that revenues had shown a
steady increase over a long period of
years.
The Bluffton Post Office reached
first class status in 1861 after the
preceding years revenues reached the
$4,000 mark. Since then the offices
income has continued to increase,
reaching $48,O0O last year.
Mr.. Reichenbach estimates that ap-
proximately 38 per cent of the
volume of mail channelIed through
his office is leaving from or arriving
at the offices of the Triplett company.
The shipments by mail represent
only a minor part of the company's

more compact meters were imported
and the "vest-pocket device put on
the market by the local concern was
one OF the first made in this country.
AS the use of electric current be-
came more prevalent thruout the ma
ton, the growth of the local firm was
assured. New meters and engineer
ing skill increased in the field but the
Bluffton organization not only held
its place in Importance but continued
to show advancement.
With the advent of radio the in
dustry took another forward step.
One of the pioneers in the field OF
radio instrument engineering, the
Bluffton firm has ranked from the
very beginning as a leader.
International In Scope
Expansion of the industry on an
international scope has come within
the last decade and today the firm is
one of the largest electrical instru-
ment exporters in the country.
To keep pace with the demands of
a worldwide market, the firm has
capable engineering and research
staff of its own which is continually
working on new models. More than
25 new items are brought out every
year, factor that has much to do
with the Meter Works retaining It's
large buying public.
Manufacture of electrical measur-
ing instruments is an ingenious ar
rangement embracing both the prln-
ciples of watch making and electrical
engineering.

TripLett Sales

Foreign Countries

Products of the Triplett Electrical
Instrument Co. are marketed on an
international scope and have a large
sales volume in all foreign fields as
we'll as in the United States.
In its worldwide marketing pro-
gram the local organization has a
sales staff of merit and ability.
Branch sales offices are maintained
in 30 foreign countries and in q
principal cities of the United States.
In manufacturing products for a
worldwide market, the Triplett Elec-

dominance in its field by bringing out
products representing advantages
over those made previously in the
electrical device industry.
The manufacture of electrical
measuring instruments, especially
radio testing instruments, is unique
in that the nature of the industry is
constantly changing. Devices herald
ed as the best in their field within
six months are. obsolete and many
times are no longer in use within a
period of only few years.
Continual Engineering
Because of this, continual engineer
ing and research work is required to
keep products of any firm up-to-date
and among the leaders in the market.
In this respect the local firm has a
record of long success. The first
meter made by R. L. Triplett, presi-
dent of the organization, in the watch
repair shop where he was associated
with d. c. Bixel, represented a great
advance over the more clumsy models
of 1904. 1t was small and compact.
Just what automobilists at that time
wanted for testing their batteries.
Meters in the early part of the
century were large, unhandy affairs
This disadvantage was overcome by
Mr.. Triplett when he brought out his
first instrument, a meter no larger
than watch which was advertised
as the "vest-pocket" type and which
instantly gained in favor with the
wholesale field.
Previous to that time most of the
