CloOd Heights by Day
A “ceilinedetector,” which makes
K possible^ for the first time to
measure the height of clouds above
the earth in daylight, has been per-
fected by physicists of the United
States bureau of standards.
Determination of this distance Is
expected to be invaluable to both
commercial arid military fliers.
The height of the “ceiling” and the
rate at which it is rising or falling
above an airport are of exceptional
interest to a pilot scheduled to land
there in an hour or so.

Mr. and Mrs. John Turner re-

son, Emmett Turner, of Lubbock.
For the last few years weather
services of United States and Can-
ada have been able to supply this
information at nighj, by means of
a so-called “ceiling projector.” An
Intense beam oi light is projected
(on a cloud directly above it. It
1 forms a very conspicuous spot which
can be seen through a glass a few
feet away from the projector.
—Calculating the height- of this,
cloud thus becomes a simple prob-
lem in surveying, with the length
ef the base line and two angle of
the triangle known. The light is
projected upward in a straight, ver-
tical line, forming a right angle with
the earth and the observer can de-
termine easily his own line of sight.
During the day, however, the
! clouds are so bright that the spot
of Light is not visible, and hence
it is impossible to determine the sec-
ond angle. The ceiling height has
been entirely a matter of guesa
work, so serious accidents have re-
sulted from bad guesses.
The new instrument, devised by
Drs. Maurice K. Laufer and Law-
rence W. Foskett of the bureau of
standards staff, gets around this dif-
ficulty by shooting against a cloud
not a continuous beam of light, but
a series of short, evenly spaced
pulses of light. .

Bankers Go to School
Bankers in Bucyrus, Ohio, are go- j
ing to school again—not exactly to '
learn anything, but to teach the ■
youngsters a few things about j
money matters—that is, if when the
youngsters become adults they will,
have enough money at one time to
interest a banker. The officers of
the banking institutions in the Ohio
town invite the school children to
come in and irspect the bank, in
addition to conducting school j
classes through the bank. Fre- ;
quently the bankers go to the i
schools and give talks in simple ,

Gravity on Mars Would
Make Human Lose Weight
If the planet Mars is really In-
habited, the people* who live there
must be an exceedingly nimble race.
The average weight of man is about
140 pounds, but the force of gravity
is so
on Mars is so much less than on
the earth that the 140-pound man
would weigh only 53 pounds if he
were transported there. With such
light weight, and still retaining the
same strength, an individual would
be able to run with the speed of an
express train, go skipping over 10-
foot walls, and do various other ex-
traordinary things. On the moon, a
man would be even lighter.
But on the sun, our 140-pound
man would have his own troubles.
Instead of beirig an airy individual,
he would weigh in the neighborhood
of a ton and three-quarters. He
would probably have the greatest
difficulty in raising his hand, for
that member would weigh about 300
pounds.
According to scientific computa-
tions, a man on earth who weighs
140 pounds would, on the other ce-
lestial bodies, weigh as follows:
Moon, 23 pounds; Mars, 53 pounds;
Venus, 114 pounds; Mercury, 119
pounds; Neptune, 123 pounds; Ura-
nus, 127 pounds; Earth, 140 pounds;
Saturn, 165 pounds; Jupiter, 371
pounds; Sun, 3,871 pounds.

Virginia’s Natural Bridge
Natural bridge, in the heart of
Virginia, is so closely associated.
with the tradition, history and ro-
mance of our nation that it has be-
come an American landmark. Be-
fore white men came to our shores,
the Monocan Indians worshiped this
ancient wonder and called.it “The
Bridge, of God.” Thomas Jefferson
bought the bridge frorri King George
ill, of England, in 1774 for the “sum
of 20 shillings of good and lawful
money.” Jefferson surveyed his pur-
chase and made a map of it with
his own hands. The youthful Wash-
ington-engaged by Lord Fairfax,
proprietor of the Northern Neck of
Virginia—included Natural bridge
in his journeys. The initials “G. W.”
may be seen tqday carved into the
southeast wall of Natural bridge, 23
feet above the ground. In recent
years a large rock unearthed be-
neath the arch also bore George
Washington’s initials, and a survey-
or’s cross. ---
The Revolutionary war brought
Rochambeau and his troops to Vir-
ginia- Reports of Natural bridge so
intrigued them that several parties
of French officers made pilgrim-
ages to its side. Diagrams and de-
scriptions were carried back with
them to Paris, pictures were made
and circulated in Europe, and the
fame of Natural bridge spread
throughout the world.

Santa Clans American Creation
Santa Claus is an American crea-
tion o. Clement Moore, early Dutch
settler in New Amsterdam (New
York), according to Horace J. Gard-
ner’s book, “Let’s Celebrate Christ-
mas.” St. Nicholas day is Decem-
oer 6, and the saint is portrayed as
wearing bishop’s robes, with a

sentimental, "wishy-washy'' feeling
which prompts the writing of emo-
tional ballads, which are (like the
supposed love of which they speak)
“here today and gone tomorrow.”
Nor is it that lustful thing which
now parades itself shamelessly as
love, when it is nothing but animal
passion. Nor is it that weak thing
which totalitarian dictators make it
out to be when they declare that to
attaiv, a people, must hate, not love.
"Love is a desire for and delight
in the. welfare of another.” It
reaches out to all mankind, coming
from God and being manifested in
the gift of His Son as our Saviour.
It is stronger than' any earthly
bonds. It is able to bear unbeliev-
able burdens; yes, because He loved
us Christ bore the sins of the whole
world on Calvary. It. expresses itself
in courtesy, in high standards of life,
and in sacrifice. Love is, as Henry
Drummond put it, “the greatest
thing in the world.” Read I Corin-
thians 13 for Paul's exalted descrip-
tion of love.
Our lesson^ reveals two important
facts about love—
I. Love Is an Evidence of Regen-
eration (I Jchn 3:13-18).
There are two groups of people,
the saved and the unsaved.' The un-
saved in Scripture are designated
as “the world,” meaning, not the
physics! world, but the world of
unregenerate men who are against
our God and His Christ. The saved
are those who have come to God in
Christ, who love Him and are in
the center of His love. That love is,
according to John, an evidence that
we know God. There is an Interest-
ing contrast here.
1. The World. Hates and Kills (w.
13-15).
Today the wicked heart of man
apart from Christ is revealed in
the tragic events which haife em-
broiled the whole world in conflict.
The point is that we as Christians
should not be surprised if that kind
of a world hates us. In fact, we
should , be troubled if it does not
hate us, for if our Christianity
means anything, it must be utterly
distasteful to a world driven by
hatred and the lust for blood.
2. The Christian Loves and Gives
(w. 14, 16-13).
The mark of a Christian is love
for God and love for the brethren.
That love demonstrates its genuine-
ness by giving freely to meet the
need of a brother, just as God freely
gave Hjs Son for our redemption,
(cf. James 2:14-17).
The background of such an atti-
tude is a proper understanding of
our relationship to God, and an ap-
preciation of His nature.
II. The Very Nature of God Is
Love (I John 4:7-21).
God not only loves, but He is love.
1. God Is Love (vv. 7, 8).
“Love is the very essence of His
moral nature. He is the source of
all love” (R. A. Torrey). Only the
one who knows God as love knows
Him at all.
There is much thoughtless and
meaningless talk about the love of
God, as (hough it meant that He
is careless abo.ut enforcing His di-
vine law, that somehow He will
overlook and excuse careless and
wicked living. The fact is that the
love of God has no real meaning
unless it is understood in the light
of the cross, for
2. God’s Love Is Manifested in
Christ (w. 9-16).
He was sent as the giver of eternal
life, the propitiation for our sins,
our Saviour, and thus as the highest
and deepest expression of God’s
love. Faith in Christ (v. 15) puts
the believer in the very center of
t&§ love of God. Precious hiding
place! -—
3. Love Casts Out Fear (vv. 17-
19).
Fellowship is impossible in an at-
mosphere of fear, but love rules
fear out. In Christ we realize that
God first loved us, and then our
hearts go*out to Him in a warmth
of devotion which brings us so close
to Him tiiat all fear is gone. The
result offiuch fellowship with God
follows, lor '

Brother (vv. 20, 21).

Who Built
Our Town?
We Built Our Town
We built it according to our cwn needs and our
own desires. We didn’t model it after any other
town.
We used our own local Construction Industry to do
the building.
We’re still building our town the way we want to
—with our own builders, our own money.
Every family that lives in our town to build it.
We’re all builders. And whenever you build, you’re
bound to benefit your neighbors.
That’s the way Construction has always worked.
Individuals build freely for themselves, their busi-
ness, for their families. And others benefit too.
The life-blood of Construction is the opportunity to
build as we choose, when we choose, where we
choose. That’s the meaning of individual initiative
—free enterprise.
That’s the American way of building. And we’re
still building our own town the American way.
11 a man loves God, he will obey
Him, and His command, which to
the Christian is, “Love your broth-
er.” That is “the first and great
commandment” (Matt. 22:36-40;
Deut. 6:5; Luke 10:25-28)^Jtiere is
