The Mysterious Electric Meter.
The following item appears in
I the June issue of “The Electric
Era,” a small pamphlet pub-
lished by the Utah Light & Rail-
way Company, Salt Lake City,
and is reprinted as of possible in-
terest to other lighting compa-
nies who desire to disseminate a
I correct understanding of the
function and operation of the
j electric meter. The Utah Light
& Railway Company adds the
| statement that of 2144 meters
tested in April 1912, 39 were
found to be fast, 97 were slow
and the remainder correct, which
is regarded as a tribute to the
accuracy of electrical measuring
instruments in use today.
Most people have an inborn
suspicion of an electric meter. It
"has long been the mark of bud-
ding poets, jingle writers and
hack writers who make a preca-
rious living preparing jokes for
the public prints.
The impression has become
generally extant that the indus-
trious little meter never stops,
but that during the stilly hours
of the night, when the household
is all wrapped in sleep, the little
meter goes right along grinding
out the kilowatt-hours.
Few people realize that the
measurement of electricity has
been reduced to greater accuracy
than the measurement of per-
haps any other comfnodity, and
that there is less chance of the
electricity they have used during
the month being incorrectly
“measured than there is for their
coal, their meat, or the other
household commodities. In fact,
the meter will retain its accuracy
longer than the-'average scales,
owing to the fact that it is en-
closed in a dust-proof case and
less exposed to the outside ele-
ments and wear.

Encampment Notes.
Dr. J. D. Ray, professor of
systematic theology in the. Bap-
tist . theological seminary, Fort
Worth, came in Monday night
and began his series of sermons,
his first sermon being on Matt.
XX, the parable of the workers
in the vineyard. His exposition
of this text was helpful to many
in that he showed that the penny
given each laborer represented
salvation, which is the gift of
God, and each man who accepted
work in the vineyard was given
salvation not as a reward for his
work, but as a gift for his obedi-
ence in obeying the call to labor.
Reward Is given for faithful life
service in the cause of the Mas-
ter.
Tuesday morning was devoted
to the Sunday school classes
which are being led by Drs. W.
E. Foster, of Dallas, and John A.
Held, of Taylor. Mrs. Leigh, of
Waxahachie, also has a class to
which she .will issue diplomas
upon completion of a certaip
course. Dr. M. T. Andrews, of
Hillsboro, is also teaching a
normal Sunday school class.
Dr. Ray preached a soul Stir-
ring sermon Tuesday morning on
the subject “Why God’s Chil-
dren are Permitted to Suffer.”
Without disparagement to oth-
ers, Dr. Ray holds the attention
of the people, and the ministers
are wide awake when he talks.
His expositions are grand ~and
far-reaching, showing a deep
piety, close study of' the Word,
and the power of the spirit seems
to attend his spoken words. It is
a treat to have him among the
leaders at the encampment.
Miss Birdie Andrews, of Hills-
boro, is here to enjoy the en-
campment with friends. She is
a daughter of Rev. M. T. An-
drews.
