ruins 409 years, until Alexander re
built it. after this it flourished. It
was here that Pslycron was Bishop,
; who was martyred ICG A. D. This
church is praised by Him, who was
dead and is alive. We notice:
1. That Christ's churches are ob
jects of His supreme regard "I know
'they works, tribulation and poverty."
That Ke possesses the most ac
curate acquaintance with the state
of His churches, and of all their in
dividual members (but thou art
rich. )
3. That He despises not the least
indications of piety. This is evident
from: The very fact of His appear
ance to John with messages for the
churches: The view which He gives
of His character to the particular
church here addressed. The tone of
all His letters to the churches.
4. That the life of the Christian
is a state of warfare, and as such
requires activity and effort.
5. That the Savior promised heav
enly reward to His faithful subjei tp.
This church was subjected to sev
ere trials, and they would continue.
To be forwarned is to be forearmed.
Satan is here described as the head
of the church of these outcast Jews;
they are that would cause this church
much trouble. The worst enemies of
the church always arise within the
church: and it is harder to guard
against them, than against those
without. The trials and temptations
will last but a short time; that is
ground for consolation. But impris
onment is in store for them, were
they tempted to abandon their prin
ciples. "Works" are not mentioned

church seemed to have more poor
members than any other, but the y

would be found faithful unto death,
if such persecutions should visit us?
We are havine an altogether too easy
a time: our faith is not tested like
these of the early church. Would
our Christianity stand the test? The
persecution under Marcus Aurolens in
1667 was the bloodiest of all perse
cutions. His name in history is writ
ten in Mood. Of all ten persecutions
that the early church suffered, this
was the outstanding severest of all
God foresaw this. Hence the in
junction "Be thou faithful unto
death." It needed this word from
the Master. Yes. only those that are
fa'thful unto death can expect a
crown of life i. e. eternal life.
What a message! Let all that have
ears, listen, what the Spirit has to
