Part T1. ow let us consider what factors ave a tendency to increase the dis- tributed capacity of a coll and what factors have a tenden to decrease this distributed capacity. If we keep the distributed capacity down to a very low value the efficiency of the | coil will be very high. ‘ Distributed capacity is a result of | the condenser action between adja- | cent turns of wire. The capacity of a condenser can be increased by, first, high dielectric material having high dielectric constantly; second, by increasing the area or plate surface exposed by one set of plates to the other set of plates, and third, by de- creasing the distance between the plates of the condenser. The ca- pacity of a condenser can be de creased by the reverse .process in each case. The condenser effect which produces distributed capacity in the coil is a result of the close proximity of ad- jacent turns of the coil and the dielec- tric material between them the insu- lation. How To Decrease Capacity. We can decrease the distributed ca- pacity by following out the rules for decreasing the capacity of a conden- ser. The first rule would be to space the turns with a material having a very low dielectric constant. For this purpose, air is the best and a coil which is space wound with no insulat- ing covering has the lowest dis- tributed capacity, other factors being equal. Other materials or insulation which can be used between turns to space them are, in order of their de- sirability as materials of low dielectric constants, cotton, silk and enamel. What ALCATERRA, ity on Radio. Reproduction Prohibited. Moisture increases the dielectric con- stant of a material, so that while cot- ton is a good material to use as an in- sulator, its ablility to absorb a con- siderable amount of moisure makes it a poor materfal for such purposes unless means are provided to keep the cofl dry either by using it in a dry room or by subjecting it to a drying process occasionally. The next method which can be used to reduce the distributed capacity of a coil is the use of wire of small size which reduces the area of conductors exposed to each other. The size of wire, however, is dependent to a con- siderable extent on the other factor resistance, so that for the time being we will merely remember that wire of small size will decrease the dis- tributed capacity while wire of a large size will increase the distributed ca- pacity. The last method usually used to re- duce the capacity of a condenser is to space the plates of the condenser 50 as to allow as much space as pos- sible between the plates. Wind Coil On Mounting. The method in which this factor is brought into play in a coll is to wind the coil with as much space as possi- ble between the adjacent turns. This spacing should preferably be by means of a form winding on a skeleton sup- port so that air is used as the medium between the turns. . ‘When heavy insulation such as cot- ton or silk is used to space the coil Lhe capacity between adjacent turns and consequently the total distributed capacity of the coil is greater than the distributed capacity when the turns are spaced with air between them.

His sermons are, “That New Cart"” and “The Gallionians, Salomites and Habakkukeans.” The Christian Endeavor Society will meet at 6:45 p.m. and discuss the “Perils of Envy, Anger and Hatred.” The leader of this meeting is Miss Mary Scofield. 50,000 Boys Ask Show Tickets. Fifty thousand school boys of Greater New York have applied for student tickets for the Second Radio World's Fair to be held in the 258th Field Artillery Armory, New York, from September 14 to 19. Radio has always been a great favorite with the boys, in fact most of the big men in the industry today are in their early thirties.

Paul's suc- with the Galatians, who were western race, of Gallic and Celtic origin,” appears to have been a prep- ation of 'his spirit, so that he was ympathetically ready to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit to that continent which was the center the world's intellectual and political life. Xerxes, a mighty Persian mon- arch, had endeavored 400 years previ- to conquer Europe with an ¥ of two and a half million men. | He failed, but the apostle, with his “nrnnxpn"lmus band of two or three | persons, triumphed, because He was | gulded by the Spirit of God Divinely Guided. Ramsay says that “this is in man respects the most remarkable para graph in Acts.” Three times within | tour verses we have the record of the guidance of God being manifested in three distinct ways, leading up to the door being opened up by providential direction for the ““first proclamation of the gospel in Europe.” The presence | { Jesus, was a reality to Paul. He knew His voice, as all who “walk In the Spirit,” and “live in the Spirit,” and led by the Spirit” come to know the voice of the unseen God, who walks by their side to guide them in the way of the Lord. It is clear that Paul planned preach in Asia, which was one of the richest and most important provinces of the Roman Empire. “It embraced about one-third of Asia Minor, and included Lydia, Mysia and Caria. Its capital was Ephesus.” that the apostle longed to win for his Lord. He had to pass through Mysia to reach Troas, but was prohibited from preaching in | old, chronic allment. Bithynia, lying to the northward, and on the Propon- tis and Black Sea, might have appealed to Paul as a promising field, “with its higher, more salubrious climate,” in which to labor during his convales- cence. But against his own will he was brought to Troas, which is located on the northwestern coast of the Aegean Sea. Paul had set out at his that he had organized. The work was the Spirit, the apostle reached Troas, where he faced the alternative of either crossing the Hellespont to Eu- rope or returning home. It was dur- ing this period of restlessness and un- certainty that Paul heard the Macedo- nian cail that summoned him to win Europe tor Christ. Called to Europe. It is at this point that Paul added another member to his missionary band, who was destined to share henceforth the trials of the apostle and become his personal physician and helper. While Eusebius tells us that Luke, the beloved physician, was a native of Antioch and a gentile by birth, yet there is evidence in the les- son for this week that Phillipi was the home of the historian whose rec- ords we are now studying. [There is much in the narrative to indicate that the.man of Macedonia was none other than the writer of the Acts. While we do not know how Luke came to know Paul, the suggestion that he was called in to attend the apostle because he was again ill with an acute attack of the same illness which he had suffered in Galatia is worthy ot consideration. Paul never missed an opportunity of speaking to a man, when alone, about Jesus Christ. He won his medical attendant for the Lord. Luke became attached to the apostle. He became attached to the apostle; he became a member of his missionary band so that he could minister to the much suffering and frail body of Paul at all times. In all probability it was Luke who planted the germ of the Macedonian mission in the apostle’s mind, which the vision brought to maturity. It is a fascinat- ing conjecture that he was the person whom Paul knew as the Macedonian, who appeared to the apostle in a vision and called him to ‘‘come over into Macedonia and help us,” and was the beloved physician, but it lacks any foundation as a fact. Paul’s obedience to the call changed the civilization of the world and ob- tained for him a crown. He recog- nized that the pagan world had trav- eled far from God when he heard the cry for help. That request was a confession that Greek culture (a culture the world has never surpassed), with its art, literature, science and philosophy, was a ;l.llun That_ap- Christianity | of | |of the Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of | h)‘ that city, possibly by a return of his | own instance to visit the churches | done, and, following the guidance of | peal was an acknowledgment that Roman authority, law, government, the strength and pride of human citi- | zenship, which in some respects is| man’s model today, was not sufficient to satisfy the human soul. Tt was a cry of the world that had gone as far as it could go In its own strength land along the pathway of its own ge- | ntus, and that longed for deliverance.| ! Paul knew that the gospel of Christ | | provided for its redemption and that it was the only way that salvation | could be found. The cry for help de manded immediate assistance. Rec- ognizing that the call was a divine summons to enter Europe, he started | |as soon as possible for Macedonia | Starting Christianity in Europe. | | The vessel that carried Paul across | the Hellespont differed from that of Xerxes, who had set sail from near the same place where the apostle embarked the next day for Neapolis, | modern Kavala, the seaport of | Philpi. Tt took them two days to make the 140 miles which separated |the two Roman provinces, which | were located in different continents, vet were closely united by a common |language and character and con- nceted with each other by the path- way of the sea. Arriving at Kavala, then called Neapolis (the seaport that has felt the bitterness of the Balkan Wars and was agaln placed on the | map by the heroic efforts of the British at the mouth of the Darda nelles during the World War), Paul followed his missionary program of striking at the centers of population by proceeding to Phillipi, where he| commenced the planting of Christian- ity in Europe. *No crossing ever made in the his-| tory of the world was more momen- | tous and significant than this cros |ing of the Aegean Sea at this narrow | point. It meant that the gospel had | | begun its glorious course of con-| est of the whole world and that the | hurch of Christ was to know no limi | tations of race or clime in fts demo. | cratic service of making the reign of | | Christ universal.” ~ Civilization was | carrted to Europe in that little boat. | | That journey is linked up with all the | missionary work of the centuries. It | was to be followed by journeys| | to Rome, Gaul and Germany. It meant | that “the uttermost part” had found | expression that would reach the | British Isles, cross the Atlantic to| | America, and then still on until the | last man would be reached with the | gospel of Christ. ! A Woman the First Convert. During the days Paul was in the «ity, making a_survey of its religious |1ife, he stopped without doubt at the | home secured for him by Luke, who | betrays his loyalty to his home city | | by calling it “the chief city of Mace- | | donia,” as all of its people did, al- though Amphipolis held that rank a the time. Phillipi was growing ra 1dly and in time became the chief cit of Macedonia. Paul learned in his in- vestigations that the Jews were not numerous_and were without a syn-| | agogue. They had an open air meet- ing place of worship near the river. | There, on his first Saturday in | Europe, Paul preached Christ to a few women who met there for | worship. 3 Among the number was an aggres- | sive and active business woman, who had opened a successful dve-house in Phillipl. Lydia was a native of Thyatra, a city noted for its excel- | lent purple dyes. This prosperous | woman had accepted the teachings of Judaism and was a devout worship- er of Jehova. In that informal meeting Paul won her as his first con- | vert, because she was eager to do the will of God, and through the leader- ship of the Holy Spirit her heart was opened to recelve the message. Without the grace of the Comforter his effort would have falled. Al- though she may have been brought to Phillipt as a slave, she was a woman of wealth and influence. After this first convert had accepted Christ |and been baptized in obedience to the divine command, she opened her home, which had become thoroughly Christian through the conversion of every member of her household, to the apostle. Moved by her generous spirit, Paul broke his rule, gave up his lodging and became her guest Her home formed the nucleus of the first Christian church in Europe, that Paul claimed was his jov and crown. Although the beginning was small, Paul had opened up a work that would win from future historians for the apostle the recognition of being the molder of empires and the ploneer of Christian civilization and democracy. He responded to the call for help, as every follower of Christ ought to do today. The work of con- quering Europe for our Lord is still summoning men and women. The World War revealed the lack of Christianity among those who pro- fessed faith in the doctrines of the Master, but who refused to practice | His teachings. Ten years have passed and men have forgotten its lessons. The winning of the peace has been hindered by the cruel, grasping and selfish ideals found in governments and people. If we are to preserve peace and promote the civilization that Paul introduced into Europe, then the Christians of America must respond to the Macedonian cry of the world by giving them the gospel of the Christ.
