Seven Letters to Seven Churches.

sad
Into-
day?
Philadelphia, a city of Lydia
the foot of Mount Tmolus, at
at
the
banks of the little river, Cogamus
which falls not far from the city into
the Hermus. It is twenty-eight miles
southeast from Sardis; and was
built by AttabuB II Philadelphia
i 158-13S B. C.) from whom it de-
i rives its name. Earthquakes were
very prevalent in this district, and
(Philadelphia was more than once
! nearly destroyed by them. It is stil!
a considerable- town, named Allah -Ishar,
with ruins of its ancient wall,
and about twenty-five churches.
I This letter starts out with a char
acterization of the Omnipatent and
Omnicient God. who is (a) Holy
hating sin. who reserves our rever
ence, (b) True will always be found
so. (c) Has the Key of David ( se
Isaah 22 22.) He that is the heir
and Lord over the abiding theocrai y.
Christ alone decides who shall and
who shall not be admitted into the
heavenly kingdom. Men should be
glad for this fact.
He observes what the church is
doing, her sincerity, her devotion,
her sacrifices. This church was bless
ed with an "open door," oppor; uni
fies for Christian work: entrance into
the joy of the Lord: understanding
of the scriptures. How many churches
and Christians avail themselves of
the "open door?" How many "search
ithe scriptures?'' Hoy few enter into
I the joy of Christ's services?
This church is commended for
j "little strength." Which may be in
creased by exercise. She never wav
ered in times of persecutions and
I trials: she had a sure foundation,
stood firm; bore true testimony to
j the name of Jesus Christ: therefore
those hippocrits that had crept
into the church, God will expose and
I make them to acknowledge, that God
j loves those that are true and faith
, ful.
j Patience is a great virtue, this
the church had. hence God will keep
i her in the hour of temptation, as a
; test of faith and loyalty. The in
junction to hold fas, even if a little
I strength, the race will soon be over,
the crown is at the end of the war
; fare. Let no one rob thee of the
prize.
There is enough incentive in
the
for
last verse, nod glory held out.
the overcomer to go on through
all
the vicissitudes, holding a straight
course, keep the goal in sight, the
outcome will be glorious.
Whosoever In Philadelphia, ia
i humble consciousness of his "little
; strength." and the "open door," that
the Lord has opened, will remain
I loyal and true, shall not only be- a
living stone in the temple Uiat God
j is rearing .but be a "pilar." A chris
Itian who becomes, by fall lit ul service
a pillar in the church, becomes a
helper and a support for the weaker
ones. Since this church had not
denied the name of the Lord, tney
shall be honored with a new name.
The new name signifies that the bear
er is the property of God. also his
Child, the name of New Jerusalem,
that he is a citizen there; and the
name of Jesus, that the bearer shall
have part in the final triumph of
Jesus Christ. How simple and char
become the deep things of God, when
His spirit sheds light upon His word.

Commcrcs Commission Opens Way for
a General Reduction Ignore
Other Lir.s' Protests
Washington. D. C, Jan. 29. The
Interstate commerce commissi' n de
jcided today it would not stand the

the St. Louis-San Francisco railway

j apply on Pullmans.
This action by the commission is
regarded as opening the way for a
K tscral return to the prewar pas

i It was taken over the protest of rail
I competitors of the Frisco the Mis
souri Pacific, the Missouri. Kansas

The Frisco proposes to put the
i cut in coach passenger fares in ef
i feet in an attempt to regain business

their protest, asserted that if the
Frisco's
2-cent

The Frisco asserts that the reduc
tion had been "deliberately determ
ined unon and it is the result of a
conviction that it is absolutely vital
Ito make an effort to regain coach

passenger DUSiness.
It was conceded in commission and
railroad circles today that the ac
tion of the commission was of the
greatest importance and that there
was no question but that the Frisco
reduction would spread throughout
the country If it accompli' bed the
objective sought.
