These fixed detectors are of three general types; a crystal with a cat whisker permanently attached or sealed to a sensitive spot, two crystals pressing against each other and making con tact at one or more sensitive spots, and electrolytic detectors which real ly are not crystals at all, hut are made with chemical pastes that have the property of rectifying or "detecting” radio waves. ~ All three types have their disad vantages, In the first type the perma nently. connected spot slowly loses its sensitivity and becomes inefficient. In the second type the crystals become oxidized after a time and do not work well. In the electrolytic detectors the paste gradually dries up or is changed by the action of the current passing through it. The Ideal Detector.

Jeremiah’s Solemn Warning to Judah (vv. 1 7L The Lord commanded him to stand in a conspicuous place in the Temple and proclaim the Judgment which was about to fall upon them’ because of their sins. The object was to provoke them to repentance (v. 3). If they would not repent, God would make I the. Temple as Shiloh (v. tt). Just us j Shiloh was once the dwelling place i of the Lord and now fallen into decay j and abandoned so will it lie with the Temple. Jeremiah was sent to speak the 'words which the Lord had told film ami nof to diminish a word. II. Jeremiah on Trial (vv. iS-11). 1. Cause of Arrest (v. 8). It was for faithfully speaking all the Lord I had commanded. The one who speaks | boldly what God commands shall be opposed. The tlme-sefver and self- : seeker .will not stand for such a min istry. The Isaiahs and - Jeremiahs ! must suffer. ^ *2. The Charge (vv. 8, 0). It was a capital crime. They said, “Thou shalt surely die.” His guilt according to their charge was twofold;** (1)*-Fre- tendlng to speak for God; (2) Speak ing against the temple and the city. .Vr.fLriimr to their charge he was gnilty of blasphemy and sacrilege. The one who prophesied without God’s command was to he punished by death (Dent 18:20). Blasphemy was also ■ punished by death (Imv. 24:10). Both Jesus and Stephen were accused of blespuemy. 3. The I’rinces Sit in Judgment (vv. 10,11). When the excitement reached the ears of the princes they came to Judge of the merits of the ease. Mat ters of state were not entirely In the hands of the priests and elders, hut were partly controlled by members of the royal family. III. Jeremiah’s Defense (vv. 12-1.1). Threats of death did not deter hl’O from, preaching, but only made him re peat his message. ♦ 1. Reiterates His HI vine Commis sion (v. 12). lie had nothing To deny, hut to repeat what he had said. He plainly told them that in opposing him they were opposing God. for he was God’s messenger. 2. His Kxliortation (v. 1.TL—He nrged them to amend their ways and obey God, and God would not bring upon them Judgment. 3. He Gave Himself Fp (v. 14). He did not resist the powers of govern ment (Rom. 13:1). Knowing that he was sent of God he was content to trust God for deliverance. -—I. Warns of Fatal Consequence (v. 1,1). He frankly fold’them that God had sent him, and if thev killed him they of dc/ying God. Woe would not only-fall upon them, hut the nationland city would suffer. IV. Jeremiah Saved (vv. 10 24).
