The most important safety require- ment In Installing an aerial system is that some form of approved lightning arrester shou)d be provided and con- nected between the aerial and ground in such a way that the aerial is prac- tically grounded, as far as heavy dis- charges caused by induction from lightning discharges are concerned. Parts of Arrester. The lightning arrester usually con- sists of two electrodes separated by & small space. This space Is large enough to prevent much loss of en- ergy recelved by the aerial system from broadcasting stations, so that in such cases the feeble currents will travel through the colls of the re- celver, but is small encugh s that when heavy surges of current caused by lightning discharges exist in the aerial system, the current can jump the small gap and will cause no harm to the set or to the aerial system. A heavy discharge will jump gap in preference to the coil of the set. The connections for such & device are shown in the disgram. In alight- ning arrester two terminals are pro- vided. One of these terminals is at- tached to the meral side of the in- staliation, while the other terminal is attached to the ground side of the system. the going through In the oid days a goud switch, built | to stand 30 amperes at 250 voltx, was required as a protective device, con- nected between the aerial and ground, %0_that the aerial could be grounded While this forms the best kind of protective device when closed because it actually grounds the aerial, the greatest trouble in connection with its use ig that it is often forgotten, so that in such a case it of no us whatever. The underwriters’ law therefore requires that an approved protective device (lightning arrester) which will operate automatically at voltage of 500 volts or less must b provided and connected as shown A with one terminal connected the uerial and the other terminal nected with the ground, as shown ¥xtra protection is afforded b means of a Switch of the type men- tioned above. This switch should be connected in the manner shown at S in the diagram. The switch can be closed when the set is not in use Most people like to use this type of switch as an added feature because they can satisfy themselves by mere- 1y looking at the device that the aerial is really grounded and safe from harm. Remember, however, that the use of this switch does not eliminate the necessity of using the automatic type of lightning arrester One ma combined the ingle device, combining the with the automatic arrester Aerial or ground wire should not under any circumstances be run over or under electric light and power lines or in any way such that the failure of the aerial or of the power 4 between the aerial system and the lines he aerial, lead-in wire and ground wire should not be of a_size smaller than No. 14 copper or No. 17 bronz pe lad steel.

HUGH T. STEVENSON. ISATAH AND THE ASSYRIAN ll:xlilr‘ll&;)z Kings, Chapters 0 20; Isaiah, C 18 to 2. haptees Golden Text—God is our refuge and strength, a present help in trouble. Psalms, 46:1. One of the finest monuments ever rescued from the Assyrian ruins con- tains the record of Sennacherib's memorable western campaign that brought upon Judah the Assyrian crisis. The Taylor cylinder, which belongs to the British museum, con- firms the lesson assigned for eur study this week. In some respects the two narratives supplement each other. While they leave great gaps to be filled out, they present to us one of the most thrilling dramas of divine dispensations and also one of the greatest religious crises in all his- tory. Isziah was the central figure during this Assyrian crisis. ‘The great prophet and statesman had, through his spiritual Insight, a clear concep- tion of the value 'of isolation for Israel. He fought strenuously against the king and his associates making any alliance with Egypt and the re- fusal of paying tribute to Sennach- erib. He tried with all his per- suasive powers to influence the n: tion from making any treaties of a defensive nature with any foreign power. He belleved that Judah should place her trust absolutely in the Lord as thelr pretector. Un- fortunately they rejected his advice, the leaders made treaties with Egvpt, treating their compacts with Assyria as mere “scraps of paper.”’ [ivents moved rapidly. It was not long b fore the folly of their putling their trust “in the shadow of Egypt’ be- came apparent to ail, waen the forces of Assyria swept through the land like the roar of the sea, Carrying away thousands into captivity and laying waste the cities and citadels of Judah and her allies, who upon the death of Sargon had welcomed the opportunity that they thought was presented to them to throw off the Assyrian yoke, . Sennacherib, who succeeded his father, Sargon, had to fight his way to the throme. The new Assyrian monarch had to put down opposition in varfous places before he paid any consideration to the league of Pale. tinfan nations, who under the leader- ship of Hesekiah had cast their lot in with the Egyptians, who had promised them help agaiost Sennach- erib. Mastering the opposition in the east quicker than was expected, the successor of Sargon turned west- ward, where he was everywhere vie- torious until after a series of v tories in Palestine he filled Jerusalem with fear and frenzy over their im- minent peril Jerusalem Imperilled. Hezekiah was “like a bird in a ¢ in Jerusalem, his royal city, ult of the efforts of Sennacherib. now realized the error of being drawn into the Babylonian-Palestin- ian-Egyptian alliance. The mighty warrior, who had defeated Merodach- baladan and checked army that was rushing id Hezekiah and his 4 defence ugainst ford could _apparently quer Jerusalem. In that dark hour the king was ready (o make terms with the Assyrian leader by the payment of an enormous indemnity. Sennacherib, in a defiant lette randed the absolute, unc surrender of Jerusalem. T only one source of heip left, so the king placed the desperate sitmation before Jehovah in prayer. Fighting the Egyyptian forces on the front, as they were being rushed northward to avert a national calam- ¥, Sennacherib realized his danger from a rear attack, So he sent his prime minister, Rabshakeh, to con- duct the negotiations. He revealed the skill of a demagogue and the ability of a trained diplomat in his onferences with the representatives of Hezekiah He showed unusual oratorical ability in his efforts to de- stroy the morale of the people, who, while not members of the conférence, occupied places where they could hear the negotiations. He appealed specially to those who were dis- atisfied with the religious reforms thut Hezekish had introduced by denying the power of Jehovah to protect them, threatening them with deportation unless they surrendered unconditionally and _accepted the promise of enjoying their home and happiness under the rule of Senn cherib. . Jerusalem was panic condition was desperate. \Watchers upon the city walls must have seen at night upon the horizon the gleam of the fires of the mighty Assyrian hosts. When the hour was darkest and the people were filled with terror, lsaiah's faith rose to its loftiest height. He stood like a stone wall gainst surrendering to Assyria, His Teply to Rabshakeh is not surpassed by any of the most heroic defiances re- corded in Greek or Roman history.

Isaiah’'s message of confidence, “Be not afraid,” inspired Hezekiah 1o place the nation's peril before Jeho- vah. The king realized his unworthi- ness, because he had placed his trust first in Assyria and then in Egypt, contrary to the advice of Isaiah, who insisted that Jehovah was all the pro- tector that Judah or the king needed, if they would trurt Him and do I3 will. Isalah saw in Rabshakeh's attack upon Jehovah that the controversy was no longer one between natlons. The Aesyrians wers doomed to de- feat because their victory would have been considered a defeat for Jehovah. It was due to the prophet's courage and advice that Hezokiah entered the temple and praved that God would savo Istael in that hour so “that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the Lord, even Thou only. ~Hesekiah placed the burden upon the Lord because His honor was at stake. Such a prayer was bound to prevail. The Lord will hear us, as quickly as He heard Hezekiah, if we draw near to Him in faith and pre- sent the evidence that His honor and word are at stake, Many men fail in thelr prayers be cause ‘they forget that much of the suffering and sorrow of life is due to their own carelessness, conduct and character. Isaiah was given a defi- nite answer to the king’s prayer, as- suring Hezekiah that Jehovah would not permit Sennacherlb to carry out his plan of exile. He was instructed to inform the king that the Lord would not allow the king, who was forty miles away, to approach the city, or to make an attack upon it God not only assured the praying king that He would protect the city, hut that He would also force Sennach ib to retire to Assyria Jehovah recognized that N glory and His fellowship with David ;«II.-M for Him to favor Judah in that hour The Lord vindicated th hoof His servant. In a single night “the angel of the Lord" te the Assyris host with a pestilen or a panic, Jerusalem was saved. It was one of the great deliverances of Listory, and it showed that Isaiah had firmly grasped the central purpose of God, behind and beneath the events of his time. He believed that nothing, not even Assyria, could prevail against the purpose of Jehovah, and that kings, armies and empires were sim- ply the instruments of His will. The faith of the prophet passed from Lim to the king and resulted in the city salvaton. Faith still the pathway to suc- cess for the individual and nation. It was Washington’s faith exhibited in prayer at Valley Forge that saved the American fore from being anni- hilated. Stonewall Jackson and Chinese Gordon revealed their faith when they planned their battles upon their knees in prayer. Lincoin testi- fied to his faith in the darkest hours of the conflict between the states. M Kinley said in the presence of the writer that the pr: ers of the people were his hope and defense. Roosevelt Wilson and Harding were all men of faith ngland was saved from the ter rors of the Spanish Armada in answer to her prayers. Cromwell imparted his faith to those around him until the resuits of their faith gave them the name of Ironside: Field Marshal French claimed that “God won Wa 100.” In the early days of the world war, Germany, by every rule of war. ought to have won, but the defender of Verdun gave (rod the credit for stopping the kaiser's army.
