The correspondent contends that the

The apostle had seen the earthly holy
city, Jerusalem. This was the oen-
tre of the Jewish world, a place loved
by every son of Israel. It was the
centre of worship and no other spot in
the world was as sacred as this. John
had aeon it when the mob demanded
the blood of the Son of God, and now
It had been destroyed. In his vision
John "saw the holy city. new Jerus-
alem," in beauty, order and glory.
Coming down from God out of heaven
-The material and construction were
too refined to have an earthly origin.
Prepared as a bride, etc. -It appears
that the company of the redeemed is
here spoken of as under the figure of
a city made ready for the Lord.
3. The tabernacle of God is with
men -A great voice out of heaven
made the proclamation that God and
redeemed men of all nations would
dwell together. God would no longer
be to men an invisible being, but they
would see him face to face. His
people -They will be his people then
because they have been his people on e
earth. Their God -The Lord will be
their God with all that is implied in
this word of infinite import. 4. God
shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes -This is one of the most touch-
ing figures in the scriptures to repre-
sent God's tender love and care for
His children. A mothers' loving
hand wipes the tears from her weep-
ing child, and they neay flow again;
but when God wipes the tears from
the eyes of His people, they are gone
forever. Tears have no place in
heaven. It is sin that causes tears,
and sin and Re censequences are un-
known in the holy city. No more
death -Death is confined to earth and
hell. There is no death in heaven,
but life immortal and glorious. Neith-
er sorrow -There will be no sine or
mistakes to grieve over and no mis-
representations or misunderstandings;
nor will theta be any losses or disap-
pointments. Neither -any more pain
-pain is a consequence of sin, and
there can be no pain in heaven. The
former things are passed away -With
the entrance into heaven the things
that on earth caused regrets and call-
ed for conflict with temptation and
Satan will be left behind. • While
memory will remain with us, it will
not be able to call up earthly experi-
ences to make us grieve. We shall
see the justice and wisdom of all of
God's.acts, and we shall rejoice in His
wisdom and love and mercy.
II. The structure of the city (Va.
9•14). The apostle is invited by an
angel to see the bride, the Lamb's
wife. He was carried in the spirit to
a high mountain, and was shown the
holy any, the new jet-male:1a descend-
ing from heaven, "having the glory of
God." Her light was aka a. most pre-
cious stone, like jasper, and clear as
crystal. The city was four square and
had high walls, and there were threo
gates on each side. The gates were
inscribed with the names of the twelve
tribes of Israel. The walls had twelve
foundations, which were inscribed
with the names of the twelve apos-
tles. The length, the breadth and the
height of the city were equal. The
twelve foundations were of precious
stones and the twelve gatea were

DI. The temple of the tity (va. 22-
27) 22. I saw no temple therein -To
a man as religious as Jebel it would
be a matter of surprise that there
wa.s no temple in the city, for the
most conspicuous object in the earthly
Jerusalem was the temple.. In his
vision he saw that •God himself was
the temple of tho city. The very. pres-
ence of God was there, and there was
at need of a temple. 23. No need of the'
sun -The lighting of a etty, it is very
important to know. And no city was
over lighted like this city. It is
lighted by the very Light of all lights.
-Whedon. The 'Lamb is the light
thereof -It is notrebable that the•
Lamb is often Spoken of hi connec-
tion with the heavenlee state and his
name is joined with that of the
Father. He is the source of light. 24.
The nation shall walk in the
light of it -Not the Jewish netion
alone, but all nations that accept
Jews Christ shall have place in the
holy city and walk in tho light shed
there by the Lamb. Kings of the
earth do bring their glory and honor
it -"We are all 'kings and priests
unto God'; this premise is for us as
well as for those that wear a crown.
For humanity Itas a glory, it seems,
In heaven's well as on earth. .No
ono, indeed, was °vet' a righteous ruler
of himself or of others without gain -
Ing some glory tO contribute to
heaven."
25. The gates of Itshall not be
ehut-In ancient cities the gates Were
shut at night, and hi the darals0 in
time of war. In the holy city there
will be eternal peace and there will
be no night. The new Jerusalem is
repreeented here as being the capital
of the heavenly country, and its gates
are alevaye open for the entrance and
egress of Its inhabltante. There will
be no night with its shadows and dan-
gers, such no exist On the nreeent
earth, "One eternal day" ehines there.
26. Glory and honor of the nations -
Nothing that ia holy, glorious and

place in heaven. The glory and honor
Butt will be recognized in heaven will
be very different from what is here

PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topic. -Completed Redemptiou.
I, A new sphere of life.
IL A new condition cf. life.
1. A new sphere of life. We have
set forth, in this lesson, a glowing pic-
ture of the new state of bliss which
awaits the redeemed of the Ieord. 'rho
whole aim of gospel redemption has
been to bring God and man together
in sublimest fellowship. It is the ono
coedition of blessedness which in-
cludes all else. The perfection of this
is realized in the "holy city" where
the church appears in her consum-
mated and perfect condition before
God. In this vision the eye of the
apostle was lifted from the struggle
of evil to the rest of goapel salvation,
the brighter side of human hietory,,the
divine .and heavenly side. He caught
in vision the blessedness of the righte-
GUS in the kingdom of their Father,
where the JO of intimate fellowship
Is to be theirs, where they will be
confessed before all, crowned and
manifestea as sons of God. In that
blessed state where God is sovereign,
his authority is everywhere recognized
and his servants render aim homage.
Ho fills the horizon of their being.
When Jahn saw a new heaven and a
new earth, he saw what literally
should come out of the ruine of the
cld. When the pa.norarna of coleatial
scenery was spread out before his
laden, he was compensated for the
trials of banishment in the thought
that there would be nothing' to pre-
vent the union and eominunion of
these whom the- graoe of God had
made free. To John the sea was a
type, an emblem of things that divided
men, smell as racial hatred, selfisb in-
terests, false religion, cruel prejudices,
Litter animositiea. It was a type of
the forces of evil that were rayeeping
over the world, spreading ruin and
destruction, and of the fearful storms
that ware, creeping in ueon the infant
church. It was a type of the world's
mirest, a picture of the disquietude of
the human spirit apart from`God. The
magnificent city which John beheld
was a symbol of a state of potfect
satisfaction for the, whole thtng, soul,
body and spirit, the entira tibsence
forever of all that is painful, bitter
or eorrowful, with the presence of all
that is restful, delightful and. blessed,
a city where everything is at peace
under the guidance end rule of untver•
sal love.
11. A new conditicn of life. The
Scripturen maintain a consistent anto
marked reserve in respect to the de-
tails pf the future life. Of all the hap-
piaese and honor that fill the city of
.glorye`the sum and centre, and the
oVeeflow is -the vielon of Christ: .the
Lamb. Iii -the Apocalypse the song is
the song -of the Lamb. Praise is to the
Lamb, The book of life belonge to the
Lamb. The eeale were opened by the
Lamb. The whole of this . gloty is
based on the sacrifice Of the Lamb.
There le a double set of detailed con-
ditions of life which follow on the
complete realization of full redemp-
tion, the cessation of what previously
existed and the bringing in of what
is new. The spiritual kingdom is re-
presented as having its basis in an
entirily new condition of things, the
removal of human sorrow. all through
the divine mercy. It will be a state
differing widely from all the preced-
ing ones, no agitation, death, or suf-
fering, but tia filth manifestation of,
and perfect fellowship with, God, The
Father and Son are' not Only tile ob-
jects of heavenly worship, but the very
temple of devotion. In a scene where

warm congratulations and wishing
him further success. All the Allied
troops having been withdrawn, the
Greeks occupy all points of vantage
near Athens and Piraeus.
Trenches are being made every-
where and guns mounted on the sur-
rounding heights, strenuous efforts
being made to place a strong army in
the Larissa region with the object
of falling on the allied rear in con-
junction with the German-Bulgar at-
tack from the north,
The military party, so one of its
prominent members declared in my
hearing to -day, is full of determina-
tion, and is convinced of euccess. I
can state definitely that the party of
trenchery is still absolutely unrepent-
ant, and further deception and trag-
edy are shown in every hour that
Panes. Every fact that struggles to
the light -and I talked with numerous
people who were eyewitnesses of Fri-
day's events and who are intimately
acquainted with what led up to them -
brings' into stronger relief the
hideous treachery of which King Con-
stantine and his pro -German clique
were guilty. They were determined
and diabolical tricks to trap our small
forces. Of that there i not the slight-
est shadow of doubt. The King agreed
to Admiral DuFornet's proposals that
the landing forces shoulr be small,
and that they should occupy certain
positione. It was mutually agreed
that no forceful measures should be
used on either side. King Constan-
tine deliberately .broke those solemn
engagements, and while making those
promises, was preparing a dastardly
plot. He even went the length, as I
previously stated, of placing troops
and machine guns in his own garden.
It is established beyond all question
that the Greeks were the first -to fire
in all cases.
I insist on these statements because
I believe the re-established Greek cen-
sorship played faatistic tricks with
messages sent Friday from Athens.
For that reason I want to emphasize
the fact that the whole miserable
business is a deliberate Royal plot, in
which the King broke his written, pro-
mise to the .lerench Admiral and Yel-
lowed his treachery up by allowing
the troops and reservists to hunt
down their political opponents with
astounding ferocity, allowing them to
do so without a word of reproof. It is
well that the mask is off at last, and
that Constantine now appears openly
as the person he has always been
zecietly: a man who Mayer kept his
word, who deceived and tricked all
representatives of the Entente, who,
during the past month, have come to
Athens to discuss things and negotiate
with him. That the Royal and mili-
tarist regime can be tolerated any
longer is absolutely unthinkable, and
for two reasons: First, this rank
treachery shows how well justified
were General Sarrail's fears for his
left wing, and the presence of Greek
,armies behind it may endanger the
whole success of the Balkan opera-
tions, now of vital import. The time
has come to rid•the Balkan theatre.of
war 01 the real peril and mete out to
Ronal treachery its full and' lust pun-
ishment. Secondly, we owe prompt
and decisive action not only to 'our
own dead, but to the Venizelists, who
were premised protection.
A tour of Athens such as I made to-
day makes it abSolutely clear witb
what savage vengefulness the King's
men took revenge on their political
enemies Saturday and Sunday. Hun-
dreds of houses were riddled with bul-
lets, and the hunt, which only ended
yesterday, .was carried out With savage
brutality and heartlessness almost be-
yond belief.
FRENCH WAR COUNCIL;

of Five Control.
Paris, Dec, 10. -The cry for leader-
ship waxes stronger in every part of
the prese, some demanding a form Of
personal dictatorship, others insisting
on a limited War council after the
English model. But, whatever party
they belong to, all writers are agreed
that the *Government machine must
be ra.dibally changed at Once to meet
the situation.
A bill, the .purpose of which is to
reorganize ahd simplify the existing
Cabinet, was introduced in the Cham-
ber Of Deputies yesterday by a group
of five' deputies, among them Abbe
Lernire mid M. Franklin -Bouillon,
Vice-Presideat Of the Foreign Affairs
Committee.
The proposed measure provides that
for the duration of the war the. Cabi-
tieeshall be composed of -five mettbers
who shall be the Ministers of Foreign
Affairs, Finance, Interior, War and
Marine.
The other, present Ministerial do-
partMents, according to the terms ot
the bill ;shell' give way to a new or-
gatiltatiCal, the direttion, of which
Shall be aseumed by the GovernMent.
