Rev. xxii. 1-11. Memory Verses. 3-5 -- Coleen Text. Rev. iii. :21-Commeintary 'repared by Itev. ). 31. Stenrnm. [0:,yri, 1. by-. American IvnAssociation.1 In the ouliinec of last week ve saw that chapters xxi and xxii bring before us the new heaven and earth, so what eVer there1 may b0 in this le5Son (On crning our heavenly hoino, as the title indicates, it is heaven in connection with earth, and part of it is heaven oil cartlh. for the "no death nor sorrow nor crying nor pain" of xxi, 4. and the "no more curse" of xxii, .1, must be earth and not heaven, for these things never were in heaven, and there would be no sense in saying no more where there never was any. Then in xxi, 3, God comes down to dwell with men, but in heaven we go to dwell with God. As to the throne of God and the Lamb we know that, although His throne is in heaven, He is also -to have a throne on earth at Jerusa lem (Jer. iii, 17). Concerning the new Jerusalem of which :Iapter xxi speaks so fully, which is to come down out .of heaven from God and in the light of which the nations of the earth are to walk, we read that the Lord God Al mighty and the Lamb are the temple of It and the glory and the light of it (xxi, 22-24-. The new earth of which these chap ters tell us will be this planet .purified by filre as the earth before the deluge was purified by water (Il ret. iii. 5-7, 12, 13), an earth wherein dwelleth righteousness filled with the glory of the Lord, and His will done here as in heaven (Num. xiv, 21; Hab. 11. 14; Matt.. vi, 9, 10); rest on every side, neither adversary nor evil occurrent (I Kings v, 4), because le who made all things In the beginning shall have made all things new (xxi, 5). It is our privilege, while we wait for this kingdom and live to hasten it, to antedate it in our individual experience. By nature we are dead in sins and under the curse because of our transgressions, but as soon as we receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour then we can.say, "Christ bath redeemed me from the curse of the law being made a curse for me" (Gal. iii, 13). So in our life there comes a time when there is no more curse, and In stead of selr btg ca the throne of our hearts Chric is on the throne, and we are new creatures, old things are passed away, all things are become new (II Cor. v, 17). The thirst for the waters of this world ceases, and we drink from God Himself, the Fountain of Living Water (Jer. ii, 13; xvil, 13). By faith we eat of the tree of life, for both the tree and the river suggest Christ Himself, the Bread of Life and the Water of Life. If Christ is enthroned In our hearts we will worship and serve Him only; we will desire above all things the smile of His approval, and even our faces will manifest that we are His, His name written on our foreheads (verses 3, 4). There no darkness comes, for there shall be no night, but even here we may walk in the light and have continual fellowship and ever re joice In the blood that cleanseth. We can hardly anticipate the -reigning with Christ according to verse 15 and Rev. v, 9, 10, yet see Rom. v, 17, where through abunde'.nce of grace and righteousness we are said to reign in life by Jesus Christ more than con querors through Him who loved us. By comparing verse 16 with verse 6 we have, to may mind, a very clear proof that Jesus Is the Lord God of the holy prophets, a truth that is abun dantly proved elsewhere and made manifest in all Scripture. Jesus is God. Three times in this chapter we have Hils "Behold, or surely I come quickly" (verses 7, 12, 20), and the last of these three is the very 'last word we have ever heard from Rim. How ear nestly we should be watching for Hmm and our hearts ever crying, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" The only right.at titude of the soul of the believer to ward God is "waiting for H.son from heaven" (I Thess. 1, 10; Tit.11i, 13; Heb. ix,28). Verse 7 takes us back to and em phasizes chapter 1, 3. Let us therefore not simply read, but memorize and eat, this book and thus obtain this great blessing. This is not the first time that John fell at the feet of his heavenly visitor to worship (see chapter xix, 10), but he Is again lovingly reproved, and this time he is told that his friend from heaven Is one of the prophets and that in heaven they keep the sayings of this book, and he .is again admonished to "worship God," reminding us of our Lord's words. "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only- shalt thou serve" (Matt. iv, 10). In Dan. x11, 4, 9, the words were to be closed up and sealed till the time of the end, but here it Is just the contrary. "Seal not, for the time is at band" (verse 10). When the end comes peo ple will continue as the end finds them. unjust or filthy or righteous. I do not know in all Scripture any authority for believing that there may possibly be any repentance after death for those who have heard the gospel in this life. Verse 12 points us to the judgment seat of Christ and the rewards for serv ice then to be given. Compare Rom. xv, 10; II Cor. v. 10: I Cor. iii, 14. 1~>; Luke xiv, 14. There are no degrees in salvation; but, as one star differeth from another, so in the glory. See II John, 8, as to the desire that we have a full reward 'and note In Rev. iv. 10. that anr. erowns we may receive it wili be our joy to cast them at His feet. Give special attention to verses 14. Rev sed.VTersion. and 17; be warned b; verses 18, 19, and rejoice in verse 21 with II Cor. viii, 9: ix, 8. Torture cf a Preacher. The story of the torture of Rev. 0.

THE HUDSON RIVER. Who Was the Real Discoverer of This Picturesonvc Stream? No Dutch or English man can affirm the discovery of the Hudson river. Verrazzano must have distanced Hud son's archives by nearly a hundred years. However, the Dutch and Eng lish liaison in the matter is close. Hud son Is appropriated by Dutch minds and has a Holland tradition round him. He came in a Dutch yacht called the Half Moon in 1609. His sailors were Hollanders and Englishmen. He rep resented a Dutch East India company on its way to find the much sought for northeast passage to India. He explored the Hudson, going as far as the little town that bears his name, and he himself has been transmitted to posterity with such blended and mixed traditions as to constitute him well nigh a half breed in people's minds. The names of the river are varied. It has been called Manhattan, the North river, the Great river, the Maritas and in the year ?616 bore legally for some length of time the name Riviere Van dpa Vorst Moritlas. -Marie Van Vorst in Harper's Maga une.

Ideas From Nature. Walking on the outskirts of Bolton one autumn evening, a clever young man became interested in watching the seeds falling from a sycamore tree. He observed that they acquired a ro tary motion before reaching the ground, and, inquiring into the cause, he found that the two wings were slightly turned in opposite directions, which caured them to revolve in fall ing. The idea of making a screw pro peler on this principle at once occur red to him. Galvani, a natural philosopher of Italy, was dissecting a dead frog one day while a pupil was making experi ments In electricity by his side. He observed that the muscles of the frog, being exposed, gave signs of motion whenever the nerves came in contact with the scopel. Galvani discovered the existence of a new principle in this phenomenon and originated the fertile branch of physics known by the name of galvanism. Furioun Fighting! "For sevea years," writes Geo'.

Barrett. F. RI. S., says that the birthplace of the mod ern divining rod, whether used to locate minerals or water, was in the mining districts of Germany, probably the Harz mountains. Its first recorded use was in prospecting for mineral lodes. The first mention of the use of the modern rod was in the latter part of the fifteenth century. Books published in the sixteenth century have pictures of miners searching for mineral veins in a very businesslike way by noting the dipping of a hazel or willow rod, 'the forked ends of which are held In the hands of an expert. German miners brought the forked rod Into Engicrtd toward the end of the sixteenth century for the exploitation of the Cornish mines. Professor Bar rett points out that the drooping char acter of the willow was probably be lieved to have something to do with the minerals concealed In the ground and that ''it was but natural to cut a light branch from one of the trees and to see if it drooped in prospecting for ores." Thus the "dowsing rod" came Into universal use among the minerb of Europe, although it was soon believed that only certain persons had the gift f ing the rod. socla bzy ".U D0 Y011 Wanit PERFECT FITlING CLOTH"ES?
