FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Those of our members who were
present last Sunday morning enjoyed
some splendid talks by some of the
‘yonug people of the B. Y. P. U. These
talks dealt especially with the rela
tion of the B. Y. P. U. to the Sunday
School. We were made to feel that
the young people deserve more en
couragement than they have been
getting from the older members of
the Church. There are great pos
sibilities in this department of the
church.
Dr. White preached an excellent
sermon on “The Upward or Forward
Look.” This concluded the series of
sermons on “The Secret of Happi
ness. The words from Titus 2:13 was
the text. ‘“Looking for that blessed
hope and the appearing of the great
God and our Savior Jesus Christ.”
Man is the only creature capable of
hoping and projecting himself in the
future and determining the future.
Hope is man’s morning star. Fill a
man with hope and he becomes an
inspiration to those about him. Rob
him of hope and you plunge him into
the depths of despair. The Christian
hope should be based on a living faith
in Jesus. Without faith in God our
hope is a delusive one.
Sunday School attendance is now
running above two hundred and fifty.
We want to see it go to three hun
dred. Come out and bring some one
with you.
THE METRIC SYSTEM OF
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
~ What would you think of a pro
posal that humankind go back to the
hand-loom, the pack horse? That we
abandon the printing press, the tele
phone, the telegraph, the railroad, the
steamship, the airplane?
Would you consider such proposals
in the interest of civilization? Or
would you consider them as hindering
the progress of the world?
~ Suppose that in the Middle Ages in
Gefmany the merchants devised a
cumbersome illogical series of
weights and measures which they
used in trade, which they forced onto
Britannia thru their influence over
the English kings and absolute con
trol of English trade, and which
Britain landed on America; suppose
that an infinitely superior system of
weights and measures were invented
by a Briton, and that Germany seized
upon it, using it in trade to her great
advantage; suppose that all the world
save Britannia and America recog
nized the simplicity and logic of this
decmal metric system, and determin
ed to adopt it as a world-wide uni
form standerd, scrapping the anti
quated German jumble- of weights
and measures.
You do not have to suppose these
things. They are facts.

jumble and put into use the simple
decimal metric weights and measures,
invented in 1783 by a truly great
Briton, James Watt. ’ :
Now suppose one more thing. Sup
pose that Germany, after she has in
creased her own efficiency in war and
trade by use of metric standars, had
tried to forbid all English-speaking
people the use of Watt’s invention,
and had tried to compel them to keep
ron using the antiquated German jum
ble. What would you think?
Well, the situation is even worse
than that. Our own blindness and
inertia have kept us from adopting
metric standards along with the rest
of the world. ’
Look into this matter.
A meter for length, 10% longer
than the yard. (Why nét call it
“world yard”?)
A liter for bulk, 5% more then the
U. 8. liquid quart 13% less than the
British quart. (Why not call it
“world quart”?)
A gram for weight, 500 grams
‘being 10% more than a pound. (Why
!not call 500 grams ‘““world pound”?)
26 milli-meters (approximating an
“inch”) (Why not call it “world
inch”?
30 grams, world letter postal unit
(approximating an “ounce”) (Why
not call it “world ounce”?)
1,000,000 grams, one metric or
“world ton,” now used in world sta
