Wave Lengths W ill ~ Be Changed Soon The announcement that the Federal Radio Commission will revamp the wave length- and power assignment# of broadcasting stations has .brought about much criticism in some sections, particularly Cincinnati, where WSAI and WLW must divide time. People in this section of Ohio and we understand in Indiana, Kentucky and part of Illinois, depend largely on, the two Cincinnati stations for their programs. The change will make it impossible for both to be on the air at once. Interest centers in broad­ casting chain programs out o f New York and many may not have re­ ceiving sets to reach beyond the Cin­ cinnati stations, and will not be able to get the service tn the future as they have in the past Fairfield To Dave Waterworks Soon SEEKS DIVORCE i On grounds of infidelity, Nora C, Brill has been grunted a divorce from Lawrence W.

O. Box No, 1234, Shanghai, China, Aug, 23, 1928. Dear Editor: Recently I was in a room where a ‘ Bible Class was beii^g ’ held. Some statements made as to the first two chapters of Genesis and the creation of the world,' and the origin of man were most surprising! How-they did try to explain away the. clear teach- . ings of the Word of God! The thought - came into my mind that the Chinese teachings could “ go them one better”' - in .several respects, and you and the. ■ readers of your excellent paper might ' like to- know what the Chinese say about the creation, The male and female principles, “yang” and “yip,” gaye birth to' Pan-. - Ku, the first man, how none knows.-* Faith must accept that. He had two! horns and-was a short,stubby follow; but. endowed with- the ability to grow. He proceeded to .grow., He grew six , , feet every day and as he lived 18,000 years, you can see-how big he got.. He, in .some way, got possession o f * an ax and with that he managed-to “k’ ai-p* ih ti ien di,” hew out the uni­ verse* This was seemingly out of no- > thing or at least out o f -chaos. He - Was eighteen thousand yearsKdoing the wotik, and in order- to complete it all he had to die, His bead.is. stud . breath the winds and clouds, his voice-./ the thunder, his limbs the four quar­ ters of the earth, his blood the risers, his flesh the soil, his heard-the con­ stellations, his skin and.hair the herbs and trees; his teeth, hones,and mar­ row became the metals, rocks and pre- cious atones, his sweat .the rain,”, and, " (most suggestive of all to evolution­ ists!) .“the insects creeping .over his bijdy became human beings!" I hope, we are proud of dur ancestry! Chinese - speak, of three kinds* of insects that delight in man’s , “fellowship/* .the “crawlers, the jumpers, and the smel­ ler.” I asked a' Chinese t o ' which race he belonged. He.said he did.not know but that the “foreigners must - belong to the crawlers'for.-they .'are white!" ,The picture: I send shows - Pan-Ku and his. apron of leaves and his. ax. In his hands he holds up the sun (red) and moon. He failed to put them in their, proper places and. they Went away into the Han (sea) and the messenger was sent to ask them to go into the sky and give light. They re­ fused. Pan-Ru was called arid at Buddha’s direction wrote the charac­ ter “zeh,” sun, in orie .hand and "yuih," moon, in the other and going to the sea, he stretched out his hands and called the sun and moon repeat­ ing a charm devoutly seven times, when they ascended into the sky and gave light day and night. There are many more things told Of Pan-Ku; but I cannot tell all in one letter, In the creation he made 51 stories. Of these 33 were for heaven and IS were for hell below the earth. The heavens were graded for good men and the floors below the earth were for had men. if tone is the very best of all be can go to the 83rd heaven and be worshipped as god.. If one he very bad he’ll go down to the 18th,hell. Even in 18,000 years the work of creation was not completed; but a cavity was left thro which many fell to the bottom*y After a long time a woman, Nu-Kwa, was bom and she took stone and blocked up the hole and so finished the work of ofeation. They »sy, tho the body 'Of Pan-Ktt died, his soul lives arid will live for­ ever. Just after the beginning of the Chinese Republic the “Philosophers" said that a revelation had come from heaven saying that the king o f the gods Had asked Pan-Ku to build * new heaven for him~-the thirty- fourth. This was done and the king of gods with his retinue moved Into this. HoW this revelation came Is not told. These are some of tbs te*sbhigs of. Chinese Doctors to boys in the aoheels. We teach, not these myths, but the dear old infallible Bible to our Utile Brownies and they take it in and It transforms their lives and saves their souls through faith in Christ.
