Cities cf the Bible.
II-DAMASCUS
Gen. 15:2 This is the oldest city
on record. It was the capitol of Sy
ria. Abraham's Stewart came from
this place, 1912 B. C. It is mention
ed 60 times in the Bible. It stands
in a plain of great fertility, east of
the great chain of antilebauon, on
the edge of the desert. The river
Amana waters this plain, which is SO
miles in diameter and nearly circu
lar. According to Josephus Damas
cus was founded by Uz, son of Aram
and grandson of Shem. It was taken
by King David B. C. 1040, and was
the capital of Syria during the reign
of Ben-Hadad B. C. 930 Jeroboam
restored it to Israel 822 B. C; but
Tiglath Pelezer, King of Asyria, took
it 740 B. C. and carried the inhabi
tants captive to Kir. It afterward
remained subject to the Asyrians and
Persians until 333 B. C. when it was
taken by Parminio, the general of
Alexander the Great. Pompey effect
ed its capture B. C. 64. But Damas
kus became known best through Saul
of Tarsus, who's life was changed
here, as also the thought of the
world.
The world owes much to this man,
who had a very remarkable exper
ience near this city. Saul of Tarsus
was a learned man, having sat at the
feet of that great teacher, Gamaliel
at Jerusalem. He became a member
of the Sanhedrine at the age of thir
ty. He belonged to the strict sect of
the Pharisees and observed the letter
of the law. He was very conscien
tious in what he did, even in prose
cuting the early church, having had
great success in this work at Jeru
salem, he would extend his work;
receiving authority fro mthe high
priest to carry on destroying the
church of Jesus Christ, he went with
a number of men, to Damaskus. Xear
ing the city at high noon, he was
arrested by the Lord, struck down,
and from a light brighter than the
sun. became blinded. Recognizing
that a superior power had crossed his
way, and the voice he heard, confirm
ed the fact, he wants to know who
is opposing him; he got his answer:
"I am Jesus whom thou persecute! a."
Being blind for three days, in which
he did not eat or drink plenty of
time to think of his past life he
finds his way to the throne of grace.
The Lord says to Annanias: "Be
hold, he prayeth." Havnig met one
stronger than he, he surrenders to
Him: "Lord what will thou have
me do?" The Lord had a great work
planned for this man, he was to bear
the name of Jesus, to the Gentiles,
and Kings and to the children of
Israel. Did Saul of Tarsus ever for
get Damaskus? Could a man forget
an experience like that? Did he ever
backslide? We need not recount the
, ,.
trials, the suffering, the persecution.
the hardships Paul endured.
The catalog is compjete in 2 Cor.
11 : 21-33. Paul brought the gospel
to Europe, to Spain and was fi nelly
beheaded in Rome.
He could never have accomplish
ed this task had it not been for his
o'.; rrv follow
er of Jegus christ ha? tQ h'ave tLat
change of heart and be filled with
the Holy Ghost. Acts 9:17, if he
ould be successful in the christian
life. Sometime in life man must meet
Jesus and surrender to him. What
a power would the church be in the
world, if every member had a Damas
kus experience!

DEATH OF STEEL FIGUEE
Myron C. Wick, jr., member of a

taken to the hospital Mr. Wick was
in the courtroom. He had attended
almost every session.
His condition improved the first of
this week but he grew wose Thurs
day with infection in both lungs.
His passing marked the second time
that death has intervened in the in
junction suit. A week after the hear

OHIO LUTHEEAN SYNOD
GAENEE IN ATTACK ON FESS
Washington Representative Gar
ner of Texas, the democratic leader,
said in a statement Wednesday night,
through the democratic national com
mittee that Senator Fess, Ohio, "dur
ing the whole tariff business had
only the vague idea what it was all
about." Commenting on a recent
statement by Fess which defended the
tariff bill Garner said the Ohioan
"was prepared to be equally enthus
iastic for the coalition tariff reduc
tions if, as the president's press
agents suggested at the time, the
white house really wanted the limit
ed tariff revision it had asked fro."
"The Ohio senator's sole idea of
statesmanship," Garner added, "is to
be regular, and his definition of regu
larity is applaud whatever republi
can administration happens to be in
all its dips, spurs and angles, no mat
ter how vacillating that course may
be."
Garner asserted it was "no co
incidence" that Fess had ben slated
to be chairman of the republican na
tional committee "and to take the
licking that his party is justifiably
expecting next November.

Lexington, Aug. 7. Work on the
investigation of the ground water
resources of Nebraska was begun
Thursday near the Platte river, in
this vicinity, according to L. K. Wen
zel. United States geological survey
hydrologist from Washington, who
arrived here Wednesday.
The preliminary work will consist
of surveying the land adjacent to the
river, under the direction of the wa
ter resource survey of the conserva
tion and survey division of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Assisting Wen
zel in the work will be Herbert A..
Waite, Lincoln, recent graduate of

An attempt will be made to learn
the rate of flow of underground wa
ter, the direction of the flow and to
get samples of strata at various
depths. The method used in deter
mining the direction and rate of un
Gerflow is known as the electric sys
tem. Series of Wells. '
According to Wenzel, a five-inch
salt well is to be sunk, and is to be
used as the center of a circle around
the circumference of which a number
of one and a quarter-inch wells are
put down. The latter wells are lo
cated down valley in the direction of
flow in relation to the salt well. Each
pf these driven wells has an electric
circuit.
"A solution of ammonia chlo
ride will be introduced in the
salt well and allowed to flow
with the ground water down to
the driven wells," he said. "An
increase of current in these lat
ter wells will show when the salt
has reached them. An accurate
record of elapsed time is kept
and the distance between salt
well and driven wells are
known."
The direction of flow will be de
termined by getting the shortest
elapsed time between the placing of
the salt in the center well and its ar
rival at the various driven wells.
Explains Method.
The sand bucket method will be
used to obtain samples of strata at
different depths. This nece-ssitates a
well driving rig and a one and a
half-horsepower motor is used for
lowering and raising the sand buck
et, which brings the material up in
tact. "The driven wells, as their
name implies, are simply bored
by a 70-pound hammer with a
gasoline engine to drive it."
Wenzel stated. "There is a 36
inch Eand screen point at the
end of the pipes in these wells.
However, no attempt at samp
ling is made here. All the wells,
sand and driven are put down
to the same depth."
Use of salt in the investigation is
of prime importance, according to
the hydrologist, because of its abil
ity to conduct electricity thereby in
creasing the flow of the current from
the eltetrodes to the casing.
