12 Officials. 2 Plavers
A championship singles tennis

I requiring one umpire, one net-cord
I jurige and ten linesmen for the two

Racial and social prejudice divide
mankind, although they are really
on** family by the creation of C»ud.
Speaking a thousand or more
tongues and countless dialects; liv-
ing in separated arras; suffering un-
d°r or priding themselves in (a:, the
case rnoy bo) a certain social order,
and disagreeing even about the
things of God, they manage to build
up formidable barriers between their
various gn ups
The Word of God by both precept
and practical » xample teaches just
the opposite.
I. Barriers Broken ivv. 4 !♦).
Contrast the woman of Samaria
with Nicodemus. whose coming to
Chri-f we s*udled last week. He was
rich; she was poor. Ho was a Jew;
she was of the mixed race of Samar-
itans. He v.as a man of character
and high position; she was immoral
and uneducated. He sought Jesus;
Jesus nought her
h. doing so. he cut straight across
the barriers of race, tradition, social '
position, education, everything He (
was interested in her soul's salva- j
tion and nothing could stand in hi3 I
way. We would do well to follow- I
his example.
Every Christian is by his very j
i calling a soul-winner. We dare not ,
delegate this responsibility to the
pastor or missionary. As soul-win-
ners we are vitally interested iri our i
Lord's approach to this woman who
| was far from God, apparently hope-
I lessly involved in sinful associations, ;
| a citizen of a hostile nation and an i
( adherent of another religious faith. 1
By asking a favor of her, Christ j
! tactfully placed himself fas does any j
' petitioner), for the moment, on her |
| own plane. He was not a distant, j
j learned religious leader deigning to 1
. cast a bit of religious philosophy to ■
her. He was a tired, thirsty man !
j asking for a dr.nk of water.
But he was more! He was the I
' gracious Son of God. declaring to j
i her that he was ready to give to
; her the water of life,
j If. Problems Solved (vv. 9, 10,
j 27 30).
I The first problem this poor woman
i had to face was her sin problem. Is
i not that true of all of us?
S»:t» first tried to avoid it by rais* j
ing the race problem, and the reply I
! of Jesus told her of the water of
: life. Her quick desire to escape the i
j drudgery of carrying water, gave j
him opportunity to face her with her j
I sin. She could never find peace and j
joy until there was a frank and open
facing of sin in her life.
Let us make no mistake at (his j
point, for the moral law of God is !
the same now as it was on that far- ;
! off day when Jesus brought the
woman of Samaria face to face with ,
her own sin.
Possibly in an effort to evade her .
mor al problem by theological discus- j
sion (a common practice in our day, !
too!), and partly because of her ig- '
no ranee of true worship, she asked |
a question about a controversial j
matter .relating to outward cere- j
mony. Is it not a singular thing j
how men who know nothing of spir- i
itual life delight in the propagation i
and defense of organizations and in 1
the conduct of outward religious ex- j
ereises?
True worship is revealed (v. 23) j
as being first “in spirit.*v We do !
not cast aside all external helps to !
worship, but real worship goes \
through and beyond both place end
symbol to real soul communion
with God., second, “in truth.”
The disciples were wise enough
not to interfere with what Jesus was
doing «.personal workers take note!),
and it was not long before the wom-
an ?aw Jesus as the Christ! Observe
how quickly she went to tell others. •
III. Salvation Declared ivv. 39-42). |
Jesus honors this peer fallen worn- j
an by making to her his first dec- j
Saration of himself as the Messiah \
(vv. 2d, 27.'. He is the high arid j
exalted One, but he is at the same !
time the friend of sinners. To Nico* j
demus, the learned ruler ot the j
Jews, be spoke of the new birth To j
the poor woman, of Samaria he de- j

j Edison invented, built and oper-
J a ted the first electric railroad in
1 America. Some of his patents ,
j caused revolutionary changes in the !
j cement industry, nnd as early as
1906 he was budding cement houses ,
with prefabricated molds.
He invented an electric automo-
bile, a helicopter, a method of mak-
ing plate glass. He patented a ,
method of preserving fresh fruits j
and vegetables in glass containers; ,
he devised a machine, called the i
miefo-tasimeter, for measuring i
minute heat fractions, and another,
the odoroscope. for registering the 1
presence of odors, however slight. j
Indefatigable Worker,
Before introduction of the type- ,
writer, Edison invented an electric j
pen which cut stencils of handwrit- j
ing so that one letter could be re-
produced in illimitable quantities.
Its modern counterpart is; the
m i m t»o gr a ph m a eh i r. e.
These and scores of other cre-
ations, .some of great im-
portance and some, like his taik-
I ing doll, hardly more than nov-
elties, came out of Edison’s
mind.
He rued the fact that the day con-
j tained only 24 hours, because it did
not give him enough time to do
everything he wanted to do. His fa-
vorite motto and one which he
■ displayed prominently on the walls
of his laboratory and offices—-was a
quotation which said: “There is no
expedient to which a man will not.
resort to avoid the serious labor of
; thinking.”
Although Edison lived to be 84. he !
continued to put in long hours of ;
study and work right up until a few j
weeks before his death. When
friends chided him about not re- ;
j tiring to a life of ease, his reply !
was that "There'll be plenty of time ;
I to think about retiring when 1 :
The I reach 100.”
! Tom Edison has “reached 100" j
| and he has “retired,” but his mem- !
| 017 lives on in a thousand creations j
! that have bene fitted mankind.

idea which took root in Edison’s

and the motion picture camera.
