For many people this would 6eem the 1 ardest book of the Bible to in terpret; it is the most neglected Lcjk in the Bible. Daniel wa3 told to "shut up the words and seal the book." (Dan. 12:4). To John comes this joyful note: "Blessed is he that readeth and they tlia t hear the words of this prophecy, and keep these things, which are written therein." (Rev. 1:3). It is "the Revelation of Jesus Christ;" not a closed book. It gives us a portrait of the Church of God for all times. The epistles to the seven (the per fect number) is a cross-section, as the church appears today, and will continue to be to the end. There is nothing so mysterious in th: "vision," but the Holy Spirit will illumine. The apostle Paul was banished to this isle for preaching t'ic word of God. (Chap. 1:9). The proper place to receive the vision; man, alone with God, receives his "call" and "commission." (Isaiah 6: 1-9; Jer. 1:5-10) on the Lord's day, the day of Christ's resurrection. John was "in the spirit" on this day. Many who do not know the day as the Lord's day are not "in the spirit" on that day. The two belong together, and the Lord's day cannot be given the respect it deserves nor the Lord hiiiiself the glory to which He is en titled, except the worshiper is in the spirit. That applies to the preacher u'id the Sunday school teacher as well as to the layman. Alter introducing the revelator (verj.es 1 to 3) and the message he received from God, his Father he nnt his "angel," a ministering spirit (Heb. 1:14; Rev. 22:6-16; Dan. 11: 23) t3 show John things to come. May we point to the fact that the Bible begins its story of the fall of man in a Garden (Gen. 2:S; 3:23-24) and ends with the redeemed race in a "rew heaven and earth." (Rev., chapters 21 and 22) a new Gar den. Why the number seven? Through the book we learn of: Seven churches, seven seals (4:1-8), seven trumpets (8:2; 11:19), seven personages (12: 1; 14:20) seven vials (15:1-16), seven new things (19:11; 22:5) Salutation from the Eeven spirits be fore the throne; we have met Him in Isaiah 11:2. His covenant name "who ia and was and who is to come (See Ex. 3:14). This blessed Christ of whom the Christian speaks, of what He has done for us, and has Lardly any conception of what tint is; well, here it Is revealed: (a) He loved us; (b) loosed us from our sins by his blood; (c) made us kings; (d) priests who can fathom the tremendous change! Glory and do minion be His for ever and ever Amen! Si HAS FORTUNATE ESCAPE Mrs. Peter Carr, returning home Saturday from Lincoln, had a narrow escape from serious injury or death when the car she was driving over turned on highway No. 75, ten miles south of this city. Mrs. Carr had started for home and found the going very good until hitting the McDonald hill between Murray and Union where a great deal of ice had formed and made the travel difficult. The car skidded on the ice and despite the efforts of the driver was overturned. Mrs. Can had held to the wheel with one hand and cut off the motor as the car crashed over and she was hurled to the back portion of the car. The car righted itself and after she was able to reach a farm house assistance came to help straighten out a bent fender and allowed her to drive the car on into this city. Mrs. Carr is badly 'bruised and suf fered a nervous shock from the ac- ! cident but feels that it was fortunate ihat it was not more serious in con sequence. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. The second coming of Christ will be different from his first advent! Just the reverse. He will come with the clouds. A study of the relationship of clouds in the presence of the Lord with his people. (See Exodus 13:21; 24:5; 40:36; Lev. 10:2; Math. 17:5. etc.) What a contrast between the humilia tion, obscurity and poverty that at tended his first advent! Visible to all, even his murderers, they will mourn with wonder and remorse and dread the result of his coming. (See Zach. 12:10; Ps. 22:16; John 19: 34). I am "Alpha and Omega," the first and last letter of the Greek alphabet. "A - Z." Patmos, an isle in the Aegaeau sea, zl miles southwest or tne coast of Asia-Minor, about ten miles long and six wide, barren and rocky. About 3,000 Greeks live there now. John in deep meditation regard ing the church of Christ, on the Lord's day (as every Christian should be), was called by a trumpet blast; as people were called in olden times to hear a proclamation Rams horns were used. His attention was arous ed, and looking for the source of the sound a voice spoke to him: "What thou seest, write in a book and send it to the seven churches in Asia Minsr," whose characteristics are appended: (1) Ephesus, lost first love; (2) Smyrna, no fault; (3) Pergamos too tolerant with bad teachers; (4) Thyatira, unfaithful lives; (5) Sardis, loss of earnest ness; (6) Philadelphia, perfect; (7) Laodicea, hike warm. God will re ject her. Here follows a designation of some vessels and instruments: Gol den candlesticks, seven churches; seven stars, the pastors; Christ in the midst supplies the oil, which is the Holy Spirit; the two-edged sword, the word of God it has power to penetrate through every shield and device behind which man attempts to hide from God's scrutiny and judg ment. John, seeing all this, was filled with dread; but He who so often had allayed the fears of His own is pres ent with the comforting words, "Fear not!" O, how assuring is that sweet voice: "I am with thee!" That is enough for the child of God. What an infinite mercy is revealed here; Christ does not want his own to be afraid of his presence, but to wor ship and adore him and to wait for his commands. All power is given unto him. He is on our side and we fully trust Him, who can be against us! "All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem And crown Him Lord of all. "Let every kindred, every tribe On this terrestial ball To Him all majesty ascribe And crown Him Lord of all!" Weeping Water Joy came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Rathbun last Saturday when the stork presented this happy couple with a very fijie son. John Cole of the Cole Mo1o com pany of Weeping Water who in Om aha last Tuesday and secured a new ?937 Ford V-8 which he will tire as a demonstrator.

Bob Jewell, son of Troy has been having some trouble with appendi citis but was treated by his favorite doctor and the trouble has gone for the present anyway. Bert Fisher has been feeling rath er poorly of late and has been under the care of the family physician. His many friends are hoping he may soon be in his former health again. Troy Jewell and E. L. (Doc) Mc Carthey, who have both been trou bled with their tonsils decided to have them removed and so had Dr. Kunkei perform the operations which were very successful. Notwithstanding the very inclem ent weather last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. John Bolz were over to Pal myra where they visited the mother of Mr. Eolz, enjoying the visit very much, returning in the evening. Looks Like Christianity. One church like the farmer who Tvaits until all the summer work is over and then begins to build a house just before the cold weather comes and gets caught with cold weather and no heat in the r.ev: edifice, so churchej wait until cold weather to install their furnace. However the sister church when one church is thus cauerht very kindly offers the use of their church for such services as are required. A very brotherly or sisterly practice and v.e think it resembles true Christianity. So do the churches of Weeping Water Fed the Fire Laddies.
