Jailer Trembled | Preacher to Fill BY GEO. N. TAYLOR I Pulpit Sunday Portland. Oregon Only God could shake that heavy-walled jail in the old city of Philippi. But with a great earthquak“ at mid-night, God did it. Then the hard-boiled jailtr knew there was the one and true God and a Judgement Day. So it was the jailer threw himself at the feet of th? Apostle Paul with—"What must I do <u be saved?” The Apostle told him —"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.” — Acts 16:31. Only whin we know we are heU-bound s i n - ners and lost, do we a ns w e r to God’s lov.>. Then we are ready to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.

PLEIADES AND ORION. i You will recall that in 1632 the astronomer Galileo was con- : demed to death because he taught I that the earth was round. The | Bible 2500 years ago, delcared | that truth, for in Isaiah 40:22 we j read: "It is He that sitteth upon ’ the CIRCLE of the earth.” Y’es, I God to'.d us that the world is ■ “round.” Moffatt's translation i reads: "He sits over the round earth.” Men of science couldn’t believe it then. Does not that prove to you that the Bible is a • scientific book, that it is a guide I on astronomy far in advance of the days in which it was written? Further proof of that assertion is found in Job 38:31-33; “Canst thou bind the sweet influences ("cluster,” R.V.) of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season or canst thou guide Arc turus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinanses of heaven? . Canst thou set the dominion | thereof in the earth?” These I statements of Holy Writ reveal facts known today, but unkown to individuals three thousand years ago. Only God knew these truths in the days of Job. He who made th.? starry heavens ask'd Job if he could do what God was doing every day— to "bind the sweet influ« nces of Pleiades,” thus holdinc them to gether as a unit, and "loose the I bands of Orion," and "guid? Arc turus," the runaway. The significance of these as tronomical statements made 2500 years ago is tremendous in light of recent discoveries. Let us consider first thhe reference to the runaway, Arcturus. Here is a giant sun rushing through our densely populated Milky Way system at the speed of 257 miles a second, or almost 1,000,003 miles an hour. Garrett P. Serviss in his book CURIOSITIES OF THE SKY wrote: "Arcturus, one of the greatest suns in the universe, is a runaway whose speed of flight is 257 miles per second. Arctur us, we have every reason to believe, possesses thousands of times the mass of our sun. Think of it! Our sun is travelling only 12milgs a second, but Arctur us is travelling 257 miles a second. In speaking of its enor mous mass and verocity, Serviss i concludes:” Think then of the prodigious momentum this mo tion impli Again he says of it: “It could be- turned into a new course by close approach to a groat sun, but it could only be stopp d by collision head on with a body of enormous mass. Bar ring such accidents, it must, as far as we can see, keep on until it has traversed our stellar sys tem, whence it may escape and pass out into space beyond to join perhaps one of those other island universes of which we have spokVn.” A projectile from a great sixteen-inch gun travels 25 miles a minute, but Arcturus travels 15,420 miles a minute. Charles Burckha: .er of ine Cha. bot Observatory added an inter esting note regarding this great sun: "This high velocity places Arcturus in that very small class of stars that apparently are a law unto themselves. He is an outsider, a visitor, a stranger within the gates; to speak p'ain. ly, Arcturus is a runaway. New ton gives the velocity of a star under control as not more than 25 miles a second, Arcturus is going 257 miles a second. There- . fore, the combined attraction of all the stars we know cannot stop him or even turn him in his path. When Mr. Burckhalter had his attention called to this text in the book of Job, he studied it in the light of modern discovery, and made a statement that has attracted world-wide attention. Sajd he: "The study of the book of Job and its comparison with the latest scientific discoveries has brought me to the matured The speaker at the Nazarene church Sunday, July 6. will me Rev.

Let me invite you to look at Arcturus tonight. It is readily located. The two stars at th«* handle of the Big Dipper point almost directly at Arcturus. It is the only star of first magni tude in that portion of the sky. and shines with a dull red glow. The distance from Arcturus to the end of the handle is about the same as it is from that point to Polaris, the North Star. It i- interesting to note the recent publicity that this star of the Scripture has received. In 1933 the lights at Chicago’s Century ot Progress Exposition were turned on by a ray of light that left cago’s previous world’s fair were locked. A ray of light leaving that day in 1393, traveled for I forty years, arriving to enter the barrel of the great 40-inch tele scope at Yerkes Observatory, then pass through the photo-el ?c- tric cells and set in motion ener gy that pulled the switch and flood-lighted the 1933 world's fair. Millions listened as the radio flashed this amazing feat to the world—a fitting tribute to i this great stellar wonder. Submitted by G. F.
