ADD ZEST TO MEALS WITH JELLIES AND RELISHES
(See Recipes Below)
LINE TOUR PANTRY SHELF!
As full of tang and zest as autumn
' are these recipes tailored to fit
your canning cup
board. Crisp rel
ishes, sparkling
jellies, bright to
mato catsup, and
pickles of cucum
ber and peach—
what a selection
have
you’ll
for
making your meals a festive board!
Your pantry shelf lined with these
sweet, spicy fruits and vegetables
will be your line of defense, too,
not only for meal planning but in
working out a nutrition and food de
fense program. Generous supplies
of fruits and vegetables now will
assure you of plenty in fall and
winter if you put them up.
Be sure to use a good qual
ity cider vinegar to prevent pickles
from becoming soft, tough, or shriv
eled. Grbod, full-bodied spices are
also vital to successful canning.

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.

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.
Actual sales records from service
stores show the favorite cigarette
with men in the Army, the Navy,
the Marines, and the Coast Guard
is Camel. Prince Albert Smoking
Tobacco is another popular favo
rite. With these sales figures and
E references in mind, local dealers
ave been featuring Camels by
the carton and Prince Albert in
the big pound tin as gifts preferred
by men in the service from the
folks back home.—Adv.
