Seven Letters to Seven Churches.
Pergamus III Rev. 2:12-17.
The city of Pergamus was located
in Mysia, on the river CalcuS; it be
me a very important place under
the successors of Alexander the
Great; it became a Roman province
under Attalus. B. C. 133, It con
tained a large library, given by .
tony to Cleopatra. Here were the
famous temples of Zens or Jupi
of Athene or lttuerova and Apollo;
also the noted shrine of Aes-uiapius:
it also was the seat of the supreme
court. It was the farthest outpost
cf all Christian churches. This
church is located in an evil place.
Satan is well established here. - The
bishop of the church is gives to un
derstand that the Lord wields a
two edged sword, for the defense of
the church, against her enemies, but
also against the evil ones in the
church. The good qualities of the
church are commended, that they are
holding fast the name or Jesus un
der tne most trying circumstances,
and that they did net deny their
Savior, but are loyil and true, ever
suffering onto death, as is shown by
the death of Antipas. who war a no r
tyr to the cause. But with all the
good qualities, the church Is In a
precarious condition. Some of hr
sins are here enumerated: (I) Some
hold to the doctrine or Balanni. This
needs an explanation. Jhe follow
ing scripture passages will fully ex
plain the sin of Bali a! and the
stumbling blocks, that were cast in
the way cf Israel: Cumbers 2r. I,
31. 16: Judca 11. Proverbs 88, 10.
It was the mixing and intcrniar: 1
of the chosen people with the tu be
lieving. The same acts are the D i
dermining of the useful undertaking,
for a charistian man or woman, to be
yoked together, with an Uiibel lever
the chances r that the believing
party will grow cold, and loose out:
before they conform to the . r.rld. and
commit the things that God warns
against in this letter. Then we see
how merciful and long suffering God
is. how he gives people one ehan e
after another to return to him. The
only way to do to "repent," face
about, retribution may come r.t any
time, and men m;iy be cttt clown in
their sins. But what a glorious
promise is held out to them thai
"overcome": if they should offend
God with their misdeeds, ir they re
pent than Ps. 25, 15, will be fulfilled
on them, also they will be fed with
the hidden manna, John ": 5 3-5S.
But an extra portion will be meted
out to them, a "wh'.te Stone," the
significance needs some elm-idation.
Some interpreters refer to ;:ie anc
ient custom of acquitting an accused
person, by the jurors placing a White
stone or pebble in the balloting box.
The white stone has also suggested
the token of triumph allotted to the
victor at the Olympic games, entitl
ing him to a triumphant ret option
on his return home. Others suppose,
when a person was received kindly
by another, or a contract of friend
ship was entered into the "tessera"
was given. It w-s so named from its
shape, being fur sided; it was some
times wood, sometimes stone: i,t was
divided into two, by the contracting
parties: each wrote hi own name
on half of the
changed pieces,
name or devices
"tessera" which
"tessera" than ex
and therefore the
or. the piece of the
each received was
the name of
written upon
the other person had
it, and wiiicn no one
else knew but him who received it.
It was carefully prized. Beautiful
illustration of Gospel truth! The
Savior visi's the sinners heart, and
being received as a guet, bestows
the white stone, the token of 1!:'
unchanging love. lb- makes an ever
lasting covenant with US. He prom
ises ne-er to forsake or leave us. He
gives us the tessera, the white stone.

j toid the senate Wednesday that if

From Little Rock, however, tiiere
came an immediate statement by T.
Roy Rcid, the Arkansas agricultural
extension director, that he had never

Farmers' league in that state.
"President Hoover does not know,
the secretary of agriculture doesn't
knov.- ai.d the head of the Red Cross
doesn't km a? and probably will not
know," Robinson asserted, "the con
ditions which I am about to disclose."
After reading telegrams from Gov

Robinson contended that the emer

the Red Cross for meeting the sit

DIRIGIBLE PLAN OPPOSED
Washington A "strong and pow
erful lobby" Was held Friday by Rep
resentative Taber to have suggested
the $200,000 appropriation In the
army supply bill for work on a me
tal clad dirigible. This Item, the
New York republican said in the
house, went thru the appropriations
i committee by a bare majority of one.
He contended it was an "entering
; wedge" and meant embarking on a
! project requiring $4,EOO,000 for the
building of ships and about $10,-
j 000,000 all told including hangars
3nd necessary buildings.
Representative Cramton, republi

the United States cruld keep abreast
