Timed Himself as He
Came Down With ’Chute
The old notion that a person who
falls from a great height dies before
striking the ground was long ago ex¬
ploded. But there remains room for
curiosity about how it feels to fall
for miles. New testimony came re¬
cently from one John Tramnn, pro¬
fessional 'chute jumper in England
who fell farther than any man had
ever fallen and lived to tell the tale.
Tranum stepped out of a royal air
force plane about four miles above
Salisbury plain. One—two—three
miles he plummeted toward the
earth’s vague green saucer. With
one hand he manipulated a stop
watch. Still falling, at 144 miles per
hour he took time to dry his goggles.
As his body dropped into denser at¬
mosphere, its speed was slowed to
about 120 miles per hour.
Not until he was down to 3,500 feet
did Tranum yank open his 'chute.
The violent cheek to his fail bruised
him. He had dropped 17,500 feet, a
half-mile farther than the previous
record-holder, E. S. (“Spud”) Man¬
ning of the United States. He said
he was “not confused” at any time
during the fall.—Time Magazine.
THE NEW ARCOLA
The American Radiator Company's
heating unit for small homes can be
bought for as low as $99.50. See

paper.—Adv.
Racing the Sun
It is reported that General Rocto
of the Italian air ministry is design¬
ing a superplane capable of travel¬
ing through the stratosphere, the
region of extremely low atmospheric
density which Professor Piccard and
his assistant were the first human
beings to enter, at a speed of 1,000
miles an hour.
This superplane is to be propelled
by the exhaust gases expelled from
open-ended tubes in which petrol is
burned, and it is calculated that the
gaseous exhaust from each tube will
be equivalent in propelling force to
four propelers driven in the ordinary
way.
As the earth turns once upon its
axis every 24 hours, and its circum¬
ference is 24,000 miles at the equa¬
tor, it follows that an airplane trav¬
eling at 1,000 miles an hour would
keep pace with the sun and achieve
perpetual daylight! It also means
that this airplane would fly faster
than sound and that the loudest
thunder-peal in its rear would never
Kich it.

TAMPICO RUINED
BY A HURRICANE
Many Killed and Survivors
in Distress.
Tampico, Mexico.—Disease, hunger
and thirst threatened to add their
terrors to those of floods and storms
which brought death and destruction
here.
An official estimate placed the dead
at 54 and the injured at more than
850. It was feared many more were
buried in the city-wide ruins and that
casualties may total well over 1,500.
The harbor, filled with mud and
debris, cannot be used; residents have
to take water from small private wells
for fear broken public water systems
may be contaminated.
From Pariuco, southwest, has come
word that 5,000 there are homeless and
desperately in need of food. Hospitals
are crowded with injured. Nearby
towns sent out appeals for aid. It
was feared a heavy loss of life oc¬
curred in the Puntilla district.
Gen. Anselmo Macias, director of
relief work, said:
“I believe the number of dead will
never be known, as many bodies were
undoubtedly washed to sea.”
Genera] Macias declared martial law
a few hours after the 125-miIe-an-hour
wind struck this important oil port.
Mrs. W. E. Evans, of the American
consulate, after a tour of the hospitals,
reported that no Americans or other
foreigners were among the victims.
A correspondent, during a flignt

at one point, signaling for aid.

damage at between $2,800,000 and
$3,360,000.

Boyd said his resignation was not
to be considered “as any admission
on my part that I am guilty of the
charges which have been placed
against me, as that is not a fact."
Boyd is at liberty under $25,000
bond on state charges of converting
$150,000 of state funds to his use and
to the use of Donald Finney, central
figure in the bond scandal, and also

charge in which he, Finney and Le

Lesson for October 8
SAUL IN DAMASCUS
LESSON TEXT—Acts 9:1-31.
GOLDEN TEXT—Therefore If any
man be In Christ, he Is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new. II Cor. 5:17.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Saul Learning to
Love Jesus.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Saul Becoming
Jesus’ Friend.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—Saul Becomes a Christian.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—What Is Conversion?
I. Saul's Violent Hatred of the
Lord’s Disciples (vv. 1, 2).
He knew full well that unless the
movement set on foot by Jesus was
stopped it would supersede Judaism.
He was ignorant of the genius of
Christianity. He did not know that
"the blood of martyrs is the seed of
the church.” Prosperity may ruin the
church, but persecution never. Steph¬
en’s testimony intensified his hatred
Inestead of softening his spirit.
II. Saul Kicking Against the Pricks
(vv. 3-9).
The figure here Is that of the east¬
ern ox driver following the ox with
n sharp iron fixed to the end of a
pole. If the animal rebels and kicks
against the sharp iron, it but injures
itself.
1. A light from heaven (v. 3). The
time had now come for the Lord to in¬
tervene. Saul was stricken with blind¬
ness and fell to the earth.
2. A voice from heaven (vv. 4, 5).
This was the Lord’s voice calling per¬
sonally to Saul. In answer to Saul’s
Inquiry, Jesus said, “I am Jesus,
whom thou persecutest.”
3. Saul's Inquiry (v. 6). The dicta¬
tor is now willing to be dictated to.
4. Christ’s answer (v. 6). He told
Saul to go into Damascus where infor¬
mation would be given him as to what
he must do.
5. Saul entering Damascus (vv. 7
9). The savage persecutor went quite
humbly into Damascus, led by his at¬
tendants where for three days he re¬
mained blind and fasted. The day Is
coming when all who oppose the work
of God shall get a sight of the glory
of the Son, either in salvation or in
condemnation (Phil. 2:10, 11; Rev.
6:15-17).
III. Ananias Ministers to Saul (vv.
10-19).
1. Ananias’ vision (vv. 10-12). He
was instructed to go to Saul, given
the name of the street and Saul’s host.
2. Ananias’ fear and hesitancy (vv.
13-17). He knew of Saul’s ministry
and the authority by which he came.
The Lord encouraged him to go, as¬
suring him that Saul was no longer an
enemy but a chosen vessel to bear his
name before the Gentiles.
3. Ananias’ obedience (v. 17). He
went to the house where Saul was
staying, put his hand on his arm, and
affectionately addressed him as broth¬
er. He informed Saul that the Lord
had sent him with a twofold message.
a. “That thou mightest receive thy
sight.”
b. “Be filled with the Holy Ghost."
4. Saul baptized (vv. 18, 19). After
Saul received his sight, Ananias bap¬
tized him. It was fitting that Saul
should be baptized by one not having
official rank, since his ministry as an
apostle to the Gentiles was to be en¬
tirely independent of the twelve.
IV. Saul Preaching in Damascus
(vv. 20-25).
1. What he preached (v. 20). He
preached Christ, that he Is the Son of
God. This is the heart of the message
of every minister and Sunday school
teacher.
2. Where he preached (v. 20), It
was in the synagogue. Because this
was the place of assembly for the
Jews, Saul took advantage of the op¬
portunity to tell them t.’iat Jesus of
Nazareth was the very Son of God.
3. The effect of his preaching
(vv. 21-25).
a. People amazed (v. 21). They
knew that the very one who had been
the leader in persecuting the Christi¬
ans in Jerusalem and had come to
Damascus for the express purpose of
bringing them bound to the chief
priest, was now passionately advocat¬
ing that which he had vehemently
sought to destroy.
b. Jews confounded (v. 22). Saul
increased In spiritual strength and
knowledge so that he confounded the
Jews, proving that Jesus was not only
the Son of God, but their Messiah.
c. The Jews sought to kill him (vv.
23-25). Being unable to meet his skil¬
ful use of the Scriptures, they took
counsel how that they might destroy
him. So intent were they upon killing
him that they watched the gate of the
city day and night that they might
take him. He escaped their wrath,
being let down at night In a basket by
the wall.
