Prior to that date almost every town and city of any size had its own time. This is due to the fact that local time is determined by the angle of its meridian, which is a line drawn true north and south through it, with the sun. Actual noon at any point is the moment when the sun crosses the meridian of that place. Noon and every other hour of the day is later by 4 minutes for every degree of longitude to the west, ahd a watch that is set on what we call standard time will deviate by this much from actual local time as it travels west. The custom of using local time was not a matter of much import ance before the advent of the railroads, because of the limited amount of travel. But when the railroads made travel easy and fast, it became a source of con siderable confusion. The railroads, as a rule, used the time of some central or important city on their lines for all places not too far dist ant. This made the arrival time of trains, particularly those travel ing east and west, considerably dif ferent from the actual time in use at the various stations. Some sta tions had 3 clocks, one for east, one for west and one for local use. Most of the old schedules and rule books state that clocks at certain points governed the time in use. According to the Railway Age, traveling men in Southern New England carried watches with two minute hands fixed 12 minutes apart, one to show the time of Bos ton and the other that of New York. But New London, New Hav en and' Providence also had their own times that were in use on certain railroads. In 1883 the members represented at the meeting of the General Rail way Time Convention decided up on the introduction of standard time. Mr. William F. Allen, Secre tary of the Convention, and for a long time Editor of the Official Guide, was successful in securing the consent of about 500 other rail roads and the change was adopted on November 18 of that year. The standard time meridians in the United States are those whose longitudes* are west of Greenwich, England, by 60 degrees, 75 degrees, 90 degrees, 105 degrees, and 120 degrees. The time on these meri- idians is 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours res pectively, slow as compared with Greenwich. The 60th meridian is a Colonial, the 75th Eastern, the 90th Central, the 105th Mountain and the 120th Pacific. The change of time was bitterly resisted in some places, Bangor, Maine, refusing for a while to ad opt the new time. An International Conference, au thorized by Congress in 1882, met in 1884 with delegates from 26 counties. While most of the dele gates favored the Greenwich merid ian as the prime meridian the French did not adopt it until 1911. When standard time was adopt ed the railroads were using 49 dif ferent time standards. The new arrangement was overwhelmingly popular and greatly simplified mat ters for the railroads and the trav eling public. There were, of course, some legal difficulties regarding business affairs, but these were soon settled by legislation. It is interesting to note that out of the-General Railway Time Con vention has grown the present American Railway Association.

CHURCHCAKDS McCormick Holiness Church Schedule Lesson for November 30 ZACCHAEUS THE PUBLICAN, A BUSINESS MAN CONVERTED LESSON TEXT—Luke 19:1-10 GOLDEN TEXT—For the Son of man Is come to seek and to save that which was lost. PRIMARY TOPIC — A Man Who Thought Jesus Would Not Care. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Man Who Righted His Wrongs. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Religion Changes One’s YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Making Business Christian. I. Jesus Passing Through Je 'io (v. 1). Jericho is noted as the stronghold of the Canaan!tes, which was mirac ulously delivered into the hands of Israel in response to their faith (Josh. 6), and also for the faith of Rahab which saved her from destruc tion with the city (Heb. 11:30,31). It was thus noted as a city where faith and unbelief played against each other. It was fitting that Jesus should pass through Jericho. Faith and unbelief again were manifested. Two notorious sinners, Rahab and Zacchaeus, were saved at Jericho. II. Zacchaeus Seeking Jesus (vv. 2-4). 1. His object (v. 3). He sought to see who Jesus was. Though perhaps prompted by curios ity, he eagerly sought Jesus. 2. His difficulties (vv. 2, 3). (1) His infamous business (v. 2). He was a tax collector for the Ro man government. The very fact that a Jew held such an office under the hated Romans would make him ex tremely unpopular. Then, since he was rich, it was evident that he had practiced extortion in collecting the taxes. Many men and women have a hard time in coming to Christ because of their questionable business rela tions. (2) His shortness of stature (v. 3). He was too small to crowd his way through to Jesus, and being hated by the people they had thrust him aside. 3. His persistence (v. 4). He ran before the multitude and climbed up into a tree. What he lacked in stature he was determined should be made up by the height of the tree. Though Zacchaeus’ legs were too short to enable him to see Jesus they were long enough to run past the crowd and enable him to climb the tree. III. Jesus Finding Zacchaeus (vv. 5, 6). While Zacchaeus was trying to see Jesus, Jesus was looking for him. This is always the case. When desire is stirred up in a heart to see Jesus, Jesus is seeking that one. When Jesus saw him he commanded him to come down from the tree and declared his intention to go home with him. Zac- cheus got more than he expected. Jesus called him by name. He did not utter a word which would humiliate Zac chaeus. Jesus knew his heart’s desire and dealt accordingly with him. All souls who earnestly seek Jesus shall be found of him. How # wonderful his grace, that regardless of one’s past life, Jesus will receive him as a friend and enter into fellowship with him! Zacchaeus quickly responded. He came down and with joy received Jesus. IV. Zacchaeus 1 Conversion (vv. 7-10). His conversion was , sudden and thorough. He was converted before he had reached the ground. 1. What the crowd said (v. 7). They said just what they say today when sinners come to Christ. They call to mind the man’s former sins. They also reproached Christ, saying that he had gone to be a guest of this noyirious extortioner, the tax collector. That for which they reproached Jesus was his glory. His supreme mission was to save sinners (v. 10). 2. What Zacchaeus said (v. 8). His conversion was thorough. It took hold upon his heart. His new life began with resolution and restitu tion. He dedicated half of his goods to the poor. The man who a little while ago was a grafter was now a generous giver. His conversion got hold of his pocketbook. His determi nation to make restitution wherein he had wrongly exacted taxes shows the genuineness of his conversion. While God forgets the past of a sinner when he comes to Christ, the sinner who is converted will seek to right all wrongs, he they unkind words or un righteous deeds. Sorrow for sin is not enough when restitution is possible. 3. What Jesus said (vv. 9,10). “Today is salvation come to thy house.’’ The publican was,now a child of God, a son of Abraham. Salvation is a present reality when one re ceives Christ. McCormick —.
