Place.—The Island of Patmoe in the Aegean Sea. A New Heaven and Earth 'The Bible opens with beauty, with perfection, with man and in mates communion with God. Satan soon enters, sin is committed and a curbs rests upon man and his 'whole environment. The Bible closes in glorious victory, the de- eeat 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. $. "And I saw a now heaven and e new earths for the first heaven and the first earth are passed sway; and the sea is no more." Ole 1aot that the heavens and the artla here spoken of. are "new," does not imply that they are now knelt brought into being. They may be the old heavens and the old earth; but they have a new aspect, rt new character, adapted to a new end, The New Jerusalem D, "And I saw the holy city, new .Terusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband." god prepares us for the city, ea a bride adorns herself for her hus- band, so will God adorn and beau- fffy this city toe His loved ones. 14 will be a holy city, one in which no lie will be uttered, no evil word spoken and no corruption of life will ever be manifest. It will be holy because every one in it will be holy. A. "And I heard a great voice out el the throne saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, lead he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peotples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God." What an amazing truth. that God, the maker of Heav- en and Earth, aliall actually dwell with men on earth. Comfort of Bible 4. "And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither ahall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more; the est 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, ening, pain are not ignored. The pause of these things will ultimate- ly be put away. Our faith tells us of a time when they will be gone fterover. e. "And he that eitteth on the prone said, Behold, I make all things new. And he Waith, Write: for these words are faithful and true. 6. And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He that overcometh 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 wan 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- oetles 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 - hi: for the Lord God, the Al- mighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof. 28. And the city hath 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 nq temple in our eternal home is very significant. So long as men dwell here under the conditions of earth- ly life, they dannot do without these temples. But, there is no temple "there" for the simple rear Aon that none is needed, It is not said that there will not be any sun dr moon in eternity, but that we *111 net need the light of the sun RED NAVY JOINS LENINGRAD DEFENSE seaseitee Crew of a Russian warship of the Soviet Baltic Fleet mans anti-aircraft guns to beat off Nazi dive - bombers near the Russian naval base at Kronstadt, close to Leningrad. Russians reported that the Ger- mane recently stormed Kronstadt from the sea and were repulsed with heavy losses. 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 it in the pram and then stood for half -an - hour in another queue to get some oranges. Tired, but feeling that she had done her duty, she came back, only to find that the baby had eaten the 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 30 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 cellophane 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. THIS CunAous WORLD BFer>ausolm OF THE AMANITA GROUP CAUSE MORE.

Need M.• re Fruit In Jam Car pais Everyone Asked to Donate Fruit or Sugar For Jam For Britain's Bombed Out Chi!. dren Last year, members of the Ont. Women's Institute with the sup- port of the Ont. Dept. of Agricul- ture, made 110,000 poundsof jam which was shipped to Britain in four 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 hoped 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 will help. They won't, if you don't. These wohaen are giving their time and a great deal of fruit and sugar to this worthy cause, but they cannot be expected to provide everything. That is why everyone —fruit growers, men, women and children, and especially housewives are 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 set. Why not buy an extra basket of peaches, pears, plums, grapes or apples when you are purchas- ing your own? The Women's Institute w111 be grateful; so will the Red Cross, but most of all the homeless children of Great Britain will be grateful to the warm-hearted people of On- tario. Ladies' Activities Ladies' societies are raising money by selling Christmas cards. It is a pleasant, chatty way to spend spare time. An important thing to remember is to begin early before one's prospects are committed elsewhere. The British Canadian Publishing Co., Room 43, 24 King West, Toronto, has an especially attractive line of Christ- mas Cards arranged in stunning assortments, and selling for $1. A letter to the above firm will read- ily obtain particulars. Up to 100 per cent profit can be expected under their well -thought-out mer chandising plan.
