Samuel D. Price, D. D. T&ere are three schools of interpretation for the book of Revelation: S' has been fulfilled, it will be fulfilled, or it is being fulfilled. Most ^t&e conservative sholars follow the latter method. At least, this is «£:1he conservative scholars follow the latter method. At least, this is ®mrcb, and this sublime fact is a wondrous assurance in the midst of Bpaesent evil conditions. Do not try to find a meaning for every sym- ik€ or relate each episode to some event in history. Rather, read the dnseL for its message of victory and the glorio us way in which it pre sents Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. No matter how great itetibe imagery of heaven, the symbol will be far less than the actual will be experienced in time by the redeemed of the Lord. <£oim, the §eer, was in exile on the island of Patmos and was granted W3& series or apocalyptic visions: there are seven series with seven items 3Lr«ach. Select the seven promises to the seven churches for cumula- fltese blessings that come to the faithful. C&rist no longer is depicted as the Man of Nazareth in humble garb, Ifc&as the established Lord whom none can gainsay. He moves ma- jadZaally in the midst of the churches. The occasion was when John '•tans in the Spirit on the Lord’s day.” This sublime manifestation of 3Esat Who ’was once crucified is another argument for His immortality. ■3Sb assurance is *T am alive forever more.” Such contact with God twk not to cause any distress and the encouraging word is given: ““Sfear ;iot.” . N Emm now to the last chapter in Revelation and observe the heritage «*^&e child of God. Heaven is the Home Land of the Soul. The in- ■wi&rtion is to all: “Come—and he that is athirst, let him come: he wilf, let him take the water of life freely.” /. a THE FAMILY f DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES.

H believe diathermy to be a very refined, technical, expensive way of Jurying the simple principle of heat in the treatment of disease. I have be shown that it furnishes greater heat inside the diseased mem- teciS&an on the outside. But I am not an authority, mind you: I am just -xti intelligent, common-sense, family doctor, witn thirty-eight years of ■wSRTienbe. I do not own a diathermy apparatus, but I work in hospi- where it is available in any instance desired.

She attention of all executives is now focused on the subject, he said. ^ we could only get them to “think straight” it would ‘‘clarify the -vfufe business situation” and start the “return of prosperity.” T asked him what he meant by merchandising. He hemmed and 3aned, and finally remarked: “Why, you know', merchandising; ev- w*3*fc>dy knows what you mean by merchandising.” IT Hold him that I had listened to much conversation on that subject ii1S29, but had never heard any one define the term. ‘‘Ha those boom days it seemed to mean over-selling,” I continued. -51 meant trying to get barber shops to put in a side line of lawn mow- urging toilet goods departments to carry ice cream cones, forcing .u&xnobile parts into delicatessens. meant pushing up the sales quota twenty-five per cent every ;jpa«7 lyhig awake nights to think up ways of making people buy more -‘dtaBE^they needed; going out extravagantly to steal the other man’s «nltomers: All that sort of high pressure activity was walking around ■ufer the banner of ‘merchandising’ in 1929,” I said, “and if, when ime apeak of ‘getting back to normal’ we mean getting back to that and strain then I am not much interested.” Wk went away shaking his head, as if I had uttered treason against great spirit of American enterprise. nriiaps he was right; perhaps I am getting old and “unprogressive.” JBgt the kind of merchandising problems that I believe our country ■nuklace sooner or later are problems like the following: Wfcp, with so. much wealth, are so many men out of work? TWBfr our economic machinery so clumsy that men can go hungry YqsH v^ile (£her m$n are feeding wheat to hogs in Kansas? mV* with so many labor-saving devices, have we so little leisure?

Why were our parents, who were so much poorer than we, still so much more contented, peaceful and secure? How can we think more about human beings and less about money? How can we recognize the economics of distribution so that everybody can have more of the good things of life as a result of steady, smooth production? I cannot answer these questions, but I do believe it is important to get as many men as possible thinking about them. Even if we have to divert a few’minufes from our “merchandising.” [OLNC] Episcopal Church Schedule Preaching services at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, Willington, are as follows: Every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sunday at 4 o’clock p. m.
