GOLDEN TEXT—Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come. Rev. 4:8. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The Apostle John probab- ly wrote the book of Revelations about A.D. 95. Place—The Island of Patmos, in the Aegean Sea. Time of Reunion 9, "After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues." Our Lord, when on earth, said that if He should be lifted up, He would draw all hien unto Him. Here is one of the ful- fillments of that promise and pro- phecy. There was au initial ful- fillment on the day of Penticost when, among the .three thousand who were saved, there were those who came from almost every nation known on the face of the earth. The description in our lesson we would take to be a final appear- ance of newly redeemed ones from every division of humanity then living on the face of the earth. It speaks certainly of victory for God, for Christ and for the Gospel. It is a time of reunion and fellow- ship of those who belong to God.. "Standing before the throne and before the Lamb." The Apostle John first heard of the Lamb of God from the lips of John the Bap- tist at the very beginning of his ministry. " Arrayed in white 4. robes:' Not only is Christ's robe white,but the angels, too, when they come down to earth appear in white, shining garments. White- ness, as the combination of all that is beautiful and perfect in. color, is the hue of heaven and with this the redeemed are invested. "And patens in their lands." There was in Jewish practice, a very signifi- cant use of the palm branches, for it was the law that they should be employed in the Feast of Taber- nacles, when the people .were bid- den to take palm branches and re- joice before the Lord seven days." ',The palm -bearing multitude sug- gests the thought of rejoicing reap- ers at the close of the harvest. Today is the time for sowing; the multitudes with the palms in their hands are the reapers. The throne of God 10. "And- they caw with a great voice, saying Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the Throne, and unto the Lamb." Around the great men oaf the earth multitudes Have gathered from age to age, but in glory multitudes gather around the Throne of God. Here on earth Christ may be ignored, rejected and despised by countless millions, in glory he is given the honor due His Holy being. 11. "And all the angels weie standing round about the Throne, and about the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell be- fore the Throne on their faces, and worshipped God. 12. saying Amen; Blessing and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be with our God for ever and ever, Amen." The elders are representative of the Church o.f Christ, long before taken up in Heaven. The four living cre- atures represent the judicial auth- ority of the Throne. We are re- minded here of what our Lord tells us of the "joy in heaven among the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Serving in Heaven 13. "Anel one of the elders ans- wered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in the whiterobes, who are they, and whence came they? 14. And I say unto him, My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me. These are they that come out of the great tribulation And they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.," In the tribulation period the only power available for cleansing sin - stained men and women is the power of the atoning blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. 15. "Therefore are they before the Throne of God; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and IIe that sitteth on the Throne shall spread his tabernacle over them." Emphasis should be placed upon the word "serve." Heaven is net a place of ease and retirement. There will be tasks for us assigned 'by God. What these tasks will be we do not know. Who would want to he idle throughout eternity? .flow wonderful it will be then to serve the Lord and to hear Him say, "Well done,. thou good and faithful servant." Joy and Blessing 16. "They shall hunger no more, neither th.ir t any more; neith shall the sun strike upon them, nek any heat." There -will be no un3 satisfied desires in Heaven, tie needs not fully met. Gori has made this wonderful provision for us. V. "For the lamb that is in the midst of the Throne shall be thele shepherd, and shall guide thous unto fountains of waters of life; THE WINNAH! NEW GLAMOR QUEEN Meet blond, blue-eyed Betty Cordon, 18, of Garden City, • L.L New York, and, sometime ago, North Carolina. You'll probably be reading a lot about her, for she's dust been selected as No 1 Glamor Girl of 1941 by New York's junior cafe socialites. She weighs ;10,0 lbs., is 5 feet 11/a and has four filled teeth. And, oh yes, Peter Arno got in. the picture, too. and God. shall wipe away every tear from their eyes." There is an end to the suffering of this life. There is a time com- ing when all unsatisfied cravings given of God will be met. The time of grief and tribulation is tempor- ary; the title of joy and blessing will never end. It continues throughout the endless ages, be- cause He continues to be with us and we with Him.

NEXT; The magic lily, More Work For Hogs and Hens Canadian Farmers To Raise More Food For Great Britain Millions of hens and prairie hoge cackle and root for Britain as Can- adian farmers pledge themselves to raise more food -for the island fortress. "Wanted—Two more eggs Per xnontll from every hen in 1942,” is the keynote of the current campaign launched by the Caned. fan Department of Agriculture. In an effort to mobilize more than 45,000,000 hens, educational pam- phlets are being mailed out tinder the heading "Eggs for Britain." Already Canada has shipped to the British: Food Ministry this year 284,000 cases of eggs and waiting to move overseas are 230,- 000 cases which have been paid for, This means that by early fall 'Britons will have been supplied this year with 185,540,000 eggs. The British Food Ministry has fudicated it will need four to five times this number of eggs in the nine-month period following Sep- tember. With prairie hog production ris- ing to an all-time high, Bacon Board officials said they weds look- ing to the West to pull Canada through the autumn rush to com- plete the bacon contract with the British Food Ministry. The original contract called for 425,000,000 pounds of bacon and 'hams for Britain in the year end- ing Oct. 1, but Canada has under- taken- to supply this by Sept. 15 if' at all possible. Are These Men Worth Saving? 'The other day we heard from authentic sources, an anecdote about a young Nazi prisoner of war receiving the best hospital care in Canada, relates a writer in The Galt Reporter. The story seems to indicate fairly clearly just how the Nazified minds of Hitler youth work. This young German, a very personable chap who served aboard a swastika -- flying ship until the Royal Navy caught up with it was confined to hospital for some time with a serious illness. His physician, a Canadian who conscientiously did his duty for the sake of humanity regardless of nationality, pulled him through by dint of great ef- fort. In the course of a lengthy convalescence the doctor and his patient became quite chummy. They talked of this and that, ex- changed confidences. There came then the day when the doctor moved his charge from the hospital in his personal car, and as they were driving along a thought oc- curred to hien. "Now that we're good friends," the doctor said in effect, "tell me, would you try to escape from my custody? Would you, if you had a gun this very minute, use it against me to gain your freedom?" The Nazi regard- ed him uncomfortably, then blurt- ed out: "If I felt that it was my Fuebrer's wish, I would shoot you!" "Pot to Barges" Support Tobruk British skippers guiding what they call "glorified potato barges" :.through the Mediterranean are partly responsible for the contin- ued resistance of Tobruk—now in its fifth month of an historic siege. These little trawlers wallow through the shining waters of "bomb alley"—the wreck strewn harbor of Tobruk—with food, mu- nitions, and supplies to keep the British garrison going at that out- post behind the Axis lines in Libya. Life on these vessels, observers agree, is probably the toughest in the Royal Navy. The crew, wear- ing lifebelts, sleeps on top of cargo hatches, ready to man the guns the instant their vessel Is attacked by bombers. The captain usually has a tiny cupboard called a cabin alongside, the funnel. But as the funnel gets almost red hot when the engines are pounding full speed, the cap - RADIO REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS The story of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan, is told in dra- matic and actuality sequences each Wednesday evening at 10.80 E.D.S.T. on the Network of the CB0.

In the capacious hold under his feet are enough munitions to blow him and everyone on board sky high. But German dive bombers have learned to have great respect for these innocent -looking little craft. They have a sting in their tails. When one of the trawlers went down under an attack of 24 planes her anti-aircraft guns still were blazing as the water flowed over the sinking deck. During their stay at Tobruk, the vessels are camouflaged while their stores are being unloaded. A. year ago most of the crews were landlubbers.
