Thomas Stamps,' President Robert Redden, Reporter OMAHA COMMUNITY BIBLE FORUM Last Thursday night we had for a Bible discussion the measurement of the Temple and the two witnesses, Revelations, 11th chapter- The first s ght of the vision was a command to St. John to measure the Temple which represents the house of God. i You will remember what Christ said about the ministers of the Temple. “Ye have made my Father’s house a den of thieves”. This vision is pro- j phetic and it means that the sacrifi- j cial and ritualistic worship of the Temple would be overthrown together with the entire city. It was also brought out how thoroughly God warned the wicked city by the power given to His two witnesses, which is the word of God and the Holy Spirit, Zachariah, 4:6, “Man is the instru ment through which they work”. The vision points back to Moses and Elias | and other miraculous events as a sam ple of His mercy. It was farther shown how they killed the influence of the Gospel and how they celebrated their seeming victory and how God! elevated the Christian testimony to a commanding position. We meet Thursday at 8 P. M., at 2012 N. 27th Street. Elder W- I- Irving, Supervisor Mrs. G. W. Gorum, Reporter THE FRIENDLY SIXTEEN BRIDGE CLUB The club met at the heme cf Robert < F.
