She brought out the promises to the races through Adam, to a nation, through Abrsm, to a tribe through Judah, to a family through David and to a per son through Mary, that a son should be born who would be the Redeemer, Judge and King. He Is the light of the world and the bright sun of righteousness. Mies Bailey's talk brought out beautifully the second verse of the twelfth chap ter of Hebrews, "Jesue, the author and finisher or our faith: who, for the Joy that waa set before him, en dured the cross, despising the ahame. and la set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

ORE' Ranger Lueck Tells of Night Spent Inside Crater Of Erupting Mauna Loa A letter received thU we by th Cnter Like National Park office from Rudy Lueck, former Crater lake ranger, now stationed In Hawaii Na tional park, Include an Interesting description of the recent eruption of Mauna Loa volcano In the park. Mr. Lueck haa been on the Inlands for the past winter and haa had numer ous Intereatlng experience. Hla Ictur and'a report of the trip follow: "Tlit trip over here wna a great one and everyone on the boat bod a great time. I had Intended to spend time reading or something while on the boat, but there waa so much to do I did not even have time to glance at reading. "Spent a few daya In Honolulu and made an effort to Jmd Degnon, who used to be in Medford, but failed and then came to the park, where I have been ever since. Kfnt to Itrnt ilouw. I received appointment as tempo rary ranger and bad a high time dur ing the eruption, of which you have probably heard. Waa sent to Puu Ulaula rest house aa ranger in 'charge of the place and spent 12 days there. This rest house la located in about the most deaolate place on the face of the earth right in the middle of the lava beda that extend for miles In every direction. All new fields and very Interesting. Believe me. this Is a place where one can see and a'tudy geology In the making and you can have everything you want to work on. The trip up Mauna Loa la a heart breaking hike and after Its all said and done you know you have been some place. The first 17 miles of trail lead from an elevation of 4000 feet up. through grovea of huge Koa trees; some of them ten feet In diameter. These disappear at the 6000-foot ele vation and from there to 8000 feet you find only scrubby Ohla trees and Pukeawe and some Aaulll. By the way. the namea of the native plants and trees would be a rare dish for the naturallsta at Crater lake, They run something Mcr this: Ohla, koa, sandalwood, mango, bread fruit, papala, eucalyptus, hala, rubber tree, banyan, guars, etc. They also have some relatives of the cedars and plnea over here. Some of the more plentiful plants are: Ape, apeape, Ohelo, good old blackberries, rasp berries, thlmbleberrles, pukeawe, all versword and a million others. There sre numerous kinds of palms and other tree and plants .peculiar to the tropics. I don't believe there la a person in the Islands that knows them alt. r rater Trip Hurd. But getting back to Mauna Loa, it Is 14,000 feet high and during this trip you find a variation In elevation of 10,000 feet and this has a tendency to make you a bit light-headed up In the rarlfled atmosphere at the summit. I don't believe I will ever a sight so terrible and awe-In-1 spiring as this eruption was at close hand. My first trip took me to the summit and Into the crater where we could watch the lava fountains play Ing and cinder cones being built right before our eyes every few seconds. Huge masses of melted lava were being thrown high Into the air and rivers of lava were pounng out of the vents in the side of the conee. This activity was kept up for 10 days and during this time millions of tons of lava poured out Into the crater floor, although none of it flowed over the edge and down the slope of the moun tain. ' Sleep In Crater. "The first trip up took four days and one night was spent Inside the crater, sleeping right next to ' the streams of molten lava. We had to do this to keep from freezing, aa the nights are bitter cold at this eleva tion. The heat from the lava all went straight up, so that waa waited as far as we were concerned. The last trip to the summit wa made to determine the extent of the flows and we did run Into a mess, almost, that time. Following la a copy of the report that we made out for Dr. Jagger, park naturalist, and the U. 8. O. S. Tills report waa published In all the Island newspapers:. "We began our trip to the summit of Mauna Loa from the Kllauea Mili tary camp, Hawaii National park. January fith at 9:30 a. m., and hiked to Puu Ulaula rest house, a distance of 17 miles and to an elevation of 10.038 feot. We arrived at 5:00 p. m., after an interesting and easy hike.- "We spent a very comfortable night at Puu Ulaula and at 8:30 a. m., set out for the summit. We arrived at the summit or ratheir at the north crater at 1:30 p. m., and after a rest of a few minutes we proceeded to enter the crater proper and make our way to the scene of the latent activity. During the past 10 days the smoke and fumes had decreased about 75 per cent and a good clear view was ob tained from the north crater wall. Travel across the old flows was not difficult and we experienced no trou ble in getting past the cones left by the eruption of 1003. Here, however, we came to the new flow which had filled In the area between the 1003 and 1914 cones. ' "This flow had evidently made Its way toward the north from Its source and then turned west -to follow the channel between the two centers of activity, namely the 1903 and 1014 cones. "The flow waa smooth pahaoehoe and did not present much of a prob lem after one had crossed the broken edges where the new lava came In contact with the old. The beat was quite noticeable and became more pronounced as we neared the base of the new cones. We finally arrived at the area between the new cones and found a place where we thought we could spend the night In comfort and safety. "Our ldeae were suddenly changed when at 5:45 we felt a distinct shock; and at 0:48 another of lesser in tensity. As there waa not much choice of a more suitable location we stayed where we were. After we had crawled' Into our sleeping bags and lay down, we heard a series of rumbles and oc casional sharp cracks which seemed to originate directly under us. This caused no small amount of concern for our safety. "The rumbling waa not continuous, but came at intervals of three to four minutes. After about two hours of this, we began to think of a lot of places we would rather be than here where 'Madam Pele' expressed moods In the form of earthquakes. "At eight o'clock we felt a shock much more severe than any we had felt before, so we proceeded to leave that particular spot as rant aa our legs would carry us across the pumice and rough lava. "It would have been Impossible to leave the crater by night as we were without lights and there was no moon. We got to the edge of the new flow to the north of us and decided to make the best of the situation right there. We made our beds a sec ond time In a deposit of new warm pumice and began the long wait for daylight. "During the night we noted several more light shocks, but none severe enough to cause undue alarm. An soon aa daylight came we packed up our belongings and left the crater with the solemn promise that we would never do that again. "Our trip down the mountain was a difficult one, aa we hiked with fairly heavy pack from tne south end of Mokuaweoweo crater to the head of the trail and then down to Kllauea military camp, a distance of 33 miles In a little less than nine hours. We breathed a sigh of relief when we saw the lights of the camp beckoning to ua through the trees."
