Service Sunday morning at 10.30. Subject: "The Chart and Compass of the Christian Life; the Sermon on the Mount." Sunday school at 11.45. Vesper service at 4.30. Subject: "The Lord Jesus Christ Today: Jesus the Children's Friend." A special invitation to our neighbors to attend the Vesper Service...
...thorough study of the theories governing gyroscopic reaction and phenomena, Mr. Sperry has succeeded in developing a non-magnetic compass which holds unerringly to the true north, thus removing the uncertainty of the easily affected magnetic needle; and a ship stabilizer which has already made rolling and pitching a thing of the past. He will tell of the application of these instruments and with the aid of lantern slides, moving pictures, and models, will show them in the process of construction and in actual operation...
...however, for Mr. Elmer A. Sperry to so master the riddle of the spinning top that he could harness the earth till it should compell his gyroscope to swing into the meridian no matter in what direction it may have been initially, and thus make possible a non-magnetic compass. Such an instrument removes all uncertainly about the location of the north magnetic pole of the earth since it indicates always true north and depends upon the rotation of the earth as an astronomical body for its directive force. This is perhaps the latest vindication of the fact that...

...contented with the achievements of the gyroscope as a compass Mr. Sperry turned his attention to further application of the gyroscope, the most remarkable of which perhaps is the Ship Stabilizer, which will make rolling and pitching a thing of the past, and it is possible that in the near future the automatically steered ship will be an ordinary rather than an extraordinary occurrence...
