D. rllE Book of Revelation came out of a period or crisis in the .early days of Christianity, when the ffcith of the disciples was be. ing put to the most acute test in the fires of terrible persecution. It was written to encourage Chris tians to be firm, and to give them a sense of God's presence and their ultimate deliverance and blessed ness, if they endured to the end. The time, according to Biblical scholars, was in the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian, about 90 A. D., when the totalitarian and tyranrcal power of the state, which we have seen so ruthless in its persecutions in our own time, was dominant. In that rule of power, gone insane, the worship of the Emperor was made a test of loyalty to the state. It was not enough that the Christian citizen should be loyal to the empire. He was called on to show that loyalty by an act of idolatry worse than that of bowing down to wood and stone the sacrilege of setting up a man, and a very bad man at that, in the place of God. In some respects it was no sterner a test than many have had to face in our own time. The penalty of disobedience, in refus ing such dishonest and blasphe mous worship, was hardly more severe than that that thousands in this century have suffered, as the mass executions, gas chambers, and ovens of destruction bear wit ness. If the Book of Revelation, with its symbolism and its strange and colorful images, is in many parts hard o understand, and doubtful of i. . retation, it is because of the dangers that beset both its author and its readers in those days of persecution. It was writ ten in a sort of secret code, though its symbols and figures would be understood by those for whom it was written. Dogmatic interpreters, who are sure that they have the right key and understand all its mysteries, will condemn me for suggesting that much in the Book is difficult and of doubtful interpretation. But the very fact that the inter pretations differ so much, is the surest evidence of what I am suggesting. JUT, if much is difficult to un L' derstand, much also is sublime and moving in its beauty and power, and there is an unfailing sureness in the assertion of God's eternal power, the ultimate tri umph of right, and the crown of glory for all who endure to the end. From these passages that thrill us with their majesty, and with their positive note of hope and triumph, we can get some idea of what the Book meant to those who could understand the meaning of every figure and symbol. The fact that Christianity did survive all te powers' that sought to de stroy it, is proof that the Book did bring to the sorely persecuted Christians the strength and in spiration, through their Master, that they so much needed. It is a Book for our time, as it was for theirs. on Tuesday and Friday. This Mass is said in the school chapel during the winter months.

"God the Preserver of Man" is the subject of the Lesson Sermon which will be read in Christian Science Churches throughout the world on Sun day, December 14, 1947. The Golden Text is: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalms 91:1). Other Bible ci tations include, "O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast dene wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth" (Isa. 25:1). The LessonrSermon also in cludes the following passage from the Christian Science text book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, "The relations of God and man, divine Principle and idea, are indestructible in Science; and Science knows no lapse from nor return to har mony, but holds the divine or der or spiritual law, in which God and all that He creates are perfect and eterna', to have re mained unchanged in. its eternal history" (P. 470). working on the Crusade for a Christian World of Disciples of Christ, will stop in Plattsmouth enroute to Lincoln to meet with Nebraska Ministers on December 16th. Before accepting his present position with Unified Promotion, Loden Lair was field representa tive for the College of the Bi ble at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. He is well known among Iowa and Nebraska churches, and his gigantic work in rajsing money for the new Bible College building at Drake is much appreciated in this area, as well as across the Brother hood. Mr. Lair's message, though geared to the present Brother hood Crusade, will be rooted in the Biblical inspiration which has given birth to this great evangelistic movement. He is recognized as one of the out standing speakers in the Brother- hood, nd his address will be thought-provoking and inspira-! tional. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN Dr. H. G.
