Place.—The island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea. • A New Heaven and 'Earth The Bible opens with beauty, with perfection, with man andin Man's communion with God. Satan soon enters, sin is committed and a tsuree rests upon man and his whole • environmeut. The Bible 'loses in glorious victory, the de - teat of all evil, the establishment of God's sovereign reign and the restoration of perfect communion between God. and that great com- pany of men and women whom he has redeemed. 1. "And I saw a new heaven and & new earth: far the first heaven ind the first earth are passed -sway; and the sea is no more." the fact that the heavens and the earth here spoken of are "new," does not imply that they are now that brought into being. They may be the old heavens and the old mirth; but they have a new aspect, * zew character, adapted to a new The New Jerusalem 1. "And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, made ready as s bride adorned for" her husband." God prepares us for the city, as a bride adorns herself for her hus- band, so will God adorn and beau- tify this city for His loved ones. 1t w111 be a holy city, one in which Oto lie will be uttered, no evil word Spoken and no corruption o2 life 7vi11 ever be manifest. It will be holy because every one in it will be holy. E. "And I heard a great voice out oqf� the throne saying, Behold the :tabernacle of God is with men, nd ho shall dwell with them, and Iey shall be his peoples, and God imself shall be with them, and be • err God." What an amazing truth. that God, the maker o1 ]leav- en and with, shall actually dwell With men on earth. Comfort of Bible "" Its shall wipe away every WIT from their eyes; and death ,,hall ;abd ne more; „neither shall"' µ there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more; the first things are passed away.' The Bible was writ- ten for the comfort, the sustenance and the enlightening of all people on earth. Tears, death, mourning, crying, pain are not ignored. The cause of these things will ultimate- ly be put away. Our faith tells us of a time when they will be gone forever. S. "And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he smith, Write: for these words are faithful and true. 8. And he said unto me, They are oome to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that 1s athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He that overeometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." The foun- tain of life, those desires for spir- itual things which the world can never statisfy, is as exhaustless as God himself. Beauty of Holy City 10. "And he carried me away In the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God. 11. hav- ing the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12. having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel." Twelve is the number which expresses government, and here we have the perfect government revealed. This wall with its twelve gates, twelve angels, and twelve names of the tribes of Israel and twelve foun- dations with the names of the Ap- ostles shows some kind of con- nection between the Holy City and the earthly Jerusalem. The Glory of God 22. "And I saw no temple there- in: for the Lord God, the Al- mighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof. 23. And the city bath no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine upon . it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb." The fact that there will be no temple in our eternal home is very significant. So Iong as men dwell here under the conditions of earth- ly life, they cannot do without these temples. But, there is no temple "there" for the simple rea- son that none is needed. It is not said that there will not be any sun sir moon in eternity, but that we will not need the light of the sun RED • NAVY JOINS LENINGRAD DEFEN Crew of a Russian warship of the Soviet Baltic .Fleet mans. anti-airaraftguns to beat off Nazi dive - bombers near the Russian naval base at Kronstadt; close to Leningrad. Russians reported that the Ger- mans recently stormed Kronstadt from the sea and were repulsedwith heavylosses. and moon, for the very . glory of God will illuminate the city. The Book of Life 24. And the nations shall walk amidst :the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it." The light from this city will stream down upon the earth, where the nations will walk in its glory, while, in turn, the kings of the earth will bring their glory into this holy city. Into the holy city, no evil one will ever enter. God himself, through His holy angels, will guard the gates of our eternal abode that our eyes will never look upon evil, nor our ears ever hear a wicked word. All will not be in the Holy City, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life. If we belong to Him, our names are in His book of life. Is your name written there? No question can ever compare with this in import- ance — will I be with God and His redeemed 'throughout eternity? Lost Labour Here is another hard luck queue story, which happened in Bootle, England. A woman stood -for half an hour in a. queue to `get a little dripping. She put i,;.in fife pram and then stood for"•half-an- hour in another queugetq get some oranges. Tired, but feeling that she had done her dirt3 r she came back, only, to. 'find 'fiat the baby had 'eaten 9e• dripping. Queer Nature Facts A bat can carry a heavier load, in proportion to its size, than any bird. It can fly a brood of young whose total weight exceeds its own. * * * When a camel takes a drink of water he does a real job of it. Fifteen gallons is his average "gulp." He can then travel about 80 miles a day, with a load of 800 pounds, for five days, without taking another swig. Baby eels, one or two inches long, have been caught in waters around New York City — a thou- sand miles away from their birth- place, the Sargasso Sea. In their babyhood they are quite trans-, parent, resembling tiny cellophan#1. cigar wrappers. ; • The pocket gopher, unlike most animals, is equipped with an as- tonishing "reverse gear." This little "sun dodger," who spends most of his life in under- ground tunnels which he himself has excavated, can run backwards as fast as he can forward. * * In areas where flowers are abundant, bees will average about 50,000 miles of flying to collect one pound of honey. In regions where flowers are not plentiful, they may fly as many as 300,000 miles for the same amount Need More Fruit In Jam Campaign Fi• ,Everyone Asked to Donate :Feult or Sugar For Jam For °Briteln's Bombed Out Chli- r 1dren • Last year, members of the Ont. Wortten'e.Institute with the sup- port of the Ont. Dept. of Agricul- ture, made 110,000 pounds of jam which was, chipped to Britain in ±star pound cans for children bomb- ed out of their homes, and Canad- ian soldiers in British hospitals. The need was so great and the •,letters of recipients so grateful that the Women's Institutes of Canada set an objective of 300,000 pounds this year, with an Ontario quota of 150,000 to 200,000 pounds of jam. The summer months were not kind to this enterprise of the On- tario Women's Institute, Dry weather brought increased prices for fruit, and donations were not so plentiful to the W. I. However reports for July show that some 24,000 pounds of jam were made by rural women for shipment to Britain. It was haped that this fig- ure would be doubled, leaving 100,- 000 pounds to be made this fall from peaches, pears, plums, grapes and apples. The Women's Insti- tute will meet this quota, if you l elr They won't, if you don't. ikee women are giving their ,•d a great deal of fruit and tbie °worthy _cause, but tem>eeterl to provide is why' everyone ers; men, women and idreii at i especially housewives a u asked to contribute fruit, sugar or cash to their nearest Women's Institute Branch in Southern On- tario NOW. Maybe you don't know the name of your nearest jam com- mittee convenor. Just phone or write your county agricultural re- presentative. He will tell you, The Convenor will tell you when the W. I. members are meeting to make jam and where to send the fruit or sugar. Ontario, as the largest fruit pro- ducing province in Canada, must provide- the greater part of 'the 300,000 pound objective the women have_ et. not buy an extra basket of peaches, pars, plums, grapes or applesf;,when you are purchas- ing yaiirjiwn?
