TIME LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—About A.D. 95.
Place.—The Island of Patmos
in the Aegean Sea. -
Our Bible speaks of terrible
wars at the end of this age,
greater even than those we have
thus far seen, and, amazing to
say, actually a war in heaven.
It is concerning the terrible final
conflicts of this age, and a great
battle in heaven, that our lesson
is concerned, and how it behooves
all of us these days to know de-
finitely what the Word of God
has to say about these coming ev-
ents.
War its Heaven
7. "And there was war in
heaven: Michael and his angels
going forth to war with the dra-
gon; and the dragon warred and
his angels; 8. and they prevailed
not, neither was their place found
any more in heaven. 9. And the
great dragon was cast down, the
old serpent, he that is called the
Devil and Satan, the deceiver of
the . whole world; he • was cast
down to the earth, and his angels
were cast down with him." The
scene described in these verses
is not spoken of as a sign. The
presence of satan in Heaven is a
reality. A war there between the
hosts of good and evil under their
respective leaders, Michael and
the Dragon is most sure. Sin was
conceived in the heart of Satan.
Not content to occupy a crea-
ture's place, he aspired to the
throne itself. The first step in
the execution of judgment upon
Satan is his forced dislodgment
frmm above.
Satan Cast Down
10. "And 1 heard a great voice
in Heaven saying, Now is come
the salvation, and the power, and
the Kingdom of our God, and the
authority of his Christ: for the
accuser of our brethren is cast
down, who accuseth them before
our God day and night. 11. And
they overcame him because of
the blood of the Lamb, and be-
cause of the word of their testi-
mony; and they loved not their
life even unto death. 12. There-
fore rejoice, 0 Heavens, and ye
that dwell in them. Woe for the
earth and for the sea: because
the devil is gone down unto you,
having great wrath, knowing that
he hath but a short time." Hea-
ven realizes that the great hour
has come for the establishment of
the Kingdom of God on earth.
Heaven knows that the prophets
have foretold of a great age of
righteousness, and justice and
peace, and the suppression of sin
is about to be ushered in. We
overcame Satan by the blood of
the Lamb, because pleading
Christ's sacrifice, Satan is sil-
enced as our adversary before
the throne of God. Moreover, as
we think of Christ's sacrifice for
us, we are made more than con-
querors through Him that loved
us. We can't afford to be de-
feated, if we have a word of tes-
timony'for Christ. This is the
thing that delivers us.
Israel's Sufferings
The concluding paragraph of
this chapter is a more detailed
presentation of the great theme
of IsraeI's terrible sufferings at
the end of this age, when she will
be most fiercely persecuted by the
enemy of Christ and the enemy
of God's children. Uundoubtedly,
those referred to in the last verse
of this chapter are those Jews
who, in this terrible time of suf-
fering, have come to acknowledge
the Lord Jesus Christ as their per-
sonal Saviour, and are living god-
ly lives.
Victory Through Christ
2. "And I saw as it were a
sea of glass mingled with fire;
and them that came off victorious
from the beast, and from his
image, and from the number of
his name, standing by the sea of
glass, having harps of God. 3.
And they sing the song of Moses
the servant of God, and the song
of the Lamb, saying, Great and
marvellous are thy works, 0 Lord
God, Almighty; righteous and
true are thy ways, thou Kang of
the ages. 4. Who shall not fear,
0 Lord, and glorify thy name?
for Thou only art holy; for all
the nations shall come and wor-
ship before thee; for thy right-
eous acts have been made mani-
fest." The company here found
gathered together is made up of
those who had been victorious
over the beast. They had come
through a time of fearful tribu-
lation. The entire picture Is dine
rf joy, and praise, and beauty'.
SCOUTING
Three Halifax Scouts receive their "Red Wings," the junior
airmanship badge of The Boy Scouts Association, at the hands of
Squadron Leader C. E. Creighton. When, like hundreds of other
Scouts, they earn their "Silver Wings," they will have mastered the
theoretical principles of flying, air navigation, aero engines and much
ground work.
There is a striking connection
here between the triumphant
song of Moses, found in Exodus
15, sung after the glorious de-
liverance of the children of Israel
from the pursuing Egyptians, and
the song now sung by those who
also had been delivered from a
God -hating power, from the ene-
mies of Christ. Both indicate the
triumphant overthrow of proud-
est earth and satanic power
through submission of faith to
God. Both victories are those of
supernatural divine power and
interposition.
Wasted Gasoline
A motorist in Wales who stop-
ped his automobile without stop-
ping the engine was fined lOs in
court on a charge of wasting
gasoline.
What For Dinner?
Answer Is Steak!
Ask Mr. Average Man what he
would like to have for dinner and
chances are, and without hesita-
tion, he will answer—Steak!
The Berkel Products Company.
Limited, 533 College Street, To-
ronto, have perfected a Delicator.
especially manufactured to make.
steaks tender and palatable:.. The
use of the Delicator also has in
spired a great number of new
'ways of preparing all kinds of the
coarser cuts of meat-
Delicated steak made a tremen-
dous hit at the Canadian National
Exhibition and if your grocer is
not prepared to serve this new
delicacy, have him get in touch
with the manufacturer who will
give him all the information as -to.
the possibilities offered by this
machine.

income Tax
You r r start paying your
1941 ta:; now -- but you 'must
snake the first payment on or
before September 30.
Here's how to do it. Pay at
least one twelfth of the tax you
paid for 1940.each month for
the next four months, September,
October, November, December.
In January, when you have de-
termined your true tax for 1941,'
deduct what you have already
paid, then pay the balance in eight
instalments. This gives you un-
til August 31, 1942, to complete
your payments. There is no in-
terest charged if this plan is fol-
lowed.
If you don't start in Septem-
ber, you can't get in on this plan.
One thing to remember: the
revised regulations have increas-
ed income tax payments consider-
ably. A lot can be saved by act-
ing now.
A special form awaits you at
the office of the Income Tax De-
partment in the post office build-
ing. Ask for Form T 7 B.
For residents of Canada the ex-
emptions are: married person,
$1,500; single person $750. Ex-
emption for each dependent is
$400.
Idle Wr Gossip
Weakens Morale
Red Cross Leader in, United
States Advises Action
Against False War Rumors
and Waste
Mrs. Dwight Davis, Director of
the American Red Crass Voluntary
f r'! Services, said that every Ameri-
can woman can help strengthen
national defense by combating
wild rumors which weaken morale.
Mrs, _ Davis suggested that if a
woman'hears a rumor she should
say too•, the person telling her:
"Would you be willing to put that
in writing so I can check it?"
That would be a surprising brake
on idle gossip, she said.
Mrs: Davis, slim, energetic head
of 1,200,000 women enrolled in the
Red Cross Voluntary Services, is
back at her desk after an inspec-
tion trip to England to see how
the British women are carrying on.
She said the three things that
have depressed her the most since
her return have been idle gossip,
waste; and the jockeying for prom-
inent position by women eager to
help in the defense program.
She declared she was shocked at
the waste of 'vital materials in her
pountry after: seeing what is being
- 46' e'• in England. She related she
visited salvage dumps, saw the
collections of bones, waste paper,
rags and old metal and then saw
the products—airplane wing cov-
ering, clothes, blankets—made out
of R.
Two Years Too Late!
"Now that Berlin and other
parts - of Germany are getting a
.taste of 'total air war as a result
of the combined attacks of the
Royal and Russian air forces, an
official Nazi spokesman pleads
for 'really humane warfare.'
"The Nazis should have thought
;• of that before they laid waste
'Warsaw in September, 1939; be-
- fore they wantonly destroyed half
of Rotterdam in May, 1940, and
before they began their ruthless
air- assaults on London, Coventry,
Plymouth, Liverpool and other
British cities a year ago, in, wall'inch
'More than 40,000 civilians "have
been killed to date.
"\,nazi hypocrisy reaches new
:bights in this plea for 'humane
Warfare,' which also reveals that
Nasi' "leaders feel the Germans
can't take it," says The New York
World -Telegram.
LADIES ACTIVITIES
Many ladies' societies are rais-
ing worthwhile money by selling
Christmas cards. It is a pleasant
way to renew old friendships and
up to 100% profit can be made
under the excellent merchandising
plan. Master Kraft Cards, 342
Doherty Bldg„ Toronto, have one
of the largest and finest lines of
Boxed Assortments, all selling for
$1.. A letter to the above firm
will readily obtain particulars.
Up to 100% profit can be ex-
pected under their well -thought-
out merchandising plan.
