REVELATION: A MESSAGE TO PERSECUTED CHURCHES LESSON TEXT—Revelation 1-3. GOLDEN TEXT—Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.— Revelation 2:10. The Revelation is so little known that wq need part of our first lesson for an introduction to the book. The fact that this is a “revelation” which God gave to Jesus Christ, “to show unto his servants things which must shortly coma to pass” (1:1), should make us all eager to study it. But it is significant that there Is a promise of special blessing to those who do read (1:3), and a solemn warning against tampering with the book (22:18, 19). Quite evidently God places gVe&t importance on the reading and study of this book. Can we do less? The book is not easy to interpret, and men have differed greatly as to its meaning. There are four gen eral schools of interpretation: (1) The preterist, which puts it all in the past. Since many of its pre dictions have not yet taken place, this view seems untenable. (2) The idealist, whifch regards the book as being entirely symbolical of spiritual principles. There is truth to this view, but it does not cover the his torical events mentioned in the Revelation which are yet to take place in the world. (3) The histori- cist, which regards the book as mainly an outline of church history. This too fails to account for prophe cies yet unfulfilled. (4) The futurist (which seems to be the best view); namely, that chapters two and three, while relating to actual churches then in existence, also out line the entire history of the church, and that the remainder of the book relates to future events. This is the interpretatfon which is largely held by conservative Bible teachers. A brief outline of the Revelation is found (1:19) in the book itself: 1. “The things which thou hast seen” (John’s vision)—chapter 1. 2. “The things which are” (the seven churches)—chapters 2 and 3. 3. “The things which shall be” (the six sevens; namely, seals, trumpets, personages, vials, dooms, and new things)—chapters 4 to 22. Our lesson portion brings before us two of the seven churches of Asia—Ephesus and Smyrna—with their lessons for our day. I. The Ephesus Church—Active but Cold, and Facing Judgment (2:1-7). Following the salutation and the glorious vision of the Son of man (do not fail to read it, Rev. 1:9-18), John the apostle, who was the one to whom the vision came, is directed to write to the church at Ephesus, address ing it through “the angel” of the church. We do not know who he was, but since the word means “messenger,” it may refer to a lead ing officer or elder. The picture of the church at Ephesus was a very beautiful one. It was an active church, not afraid to work, patient under trial, com- mendably impatient with sin and worldliness. It was not afraid, to exercise discipline, to discredit false apostles, and to stand against the evil works of the worldly-minded. There would seem that there could be nothing more said for a church, but there was a vital note lacking. In activity they were perfect, but they had departed from their first love. What is meant by leaving their first love? “First love is the aban donment of all for a love that has abandoned all . . . The church at Ephesus was still a remarkable church, but it lacked the element of that enthusiasm, whieh in the eyes of the calculating worldling, is im prudent. There are some people who imagine that this lack of en thusiasm is an advantage. May God have mercy on such. I pray the day may never come when the heroisms and enthusiasms of first love shall cease” (G. Campbell Morgan). Repentance was called for, or God said He would extinguish the light of that church. The lesson for us is that cold orthodoxy will kill a church. II. The Smyrna Church—Poor but Faithful, and Facing Persecution (2:8-11). This us one of the two churches of the seven for which there is no word of rebuke, Philadelphia being the other. It was a poverty-stricken church humanly speaking, but rich in the sight of God. Such a church may be more useful to God and more precious to Him than a large church which is cold and indifferent. What does He have to promise this church? Persecution. We who fol low Him upon whom men spat, who was so buffeted and despised, yes, even crucified—shall we be sur prised if a hostile world persecutes us? Note that the Lord knew all about their sufferings, both present and future. He was with them and would continue to be with them, so they had no occasion to fear. Then at the end of their suffering there would be the crown of life.

Name * Address What Foch Told General Who Couldn 9 t Hold Line There is a fine story being told of Marshal Foch. One day during the last war when the position of things was critical and further retreat would have endangered the whole line, one of his divisional generals sent him a message saying that he could not continue to hold a cer tain line of trenches which had become untenable. In reply, the marshal sent him this message: “If you cannot hold on, you must advance.” It is a great motto for life, and the power to advance in such cir cumstances is where the great test comes. Tobacco tops the gift list with men in the service. They’ve said so themselves in survey after sur vey. A gift of a carton of cigarettes or a tin of smoking tobacco is al ways welcome, and more than wel come the week before pay day.

Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco is another popular favo rite.
