THE FIRST CENTURY CHURCi•1, Rev 1: 19 to 3: 22. INTRODUCTION -- `!,'lie images and gmlio': of the book of Revelation tsem to conceal and mystify rather han reveal. They refer, not to events et to take place, but, according to the iew most widely held today, to events in the first century. The book was written about the year A.D. 95, dur- bng the Domitian persecutions, in Order to strengthen and encourage the Oppressed Christians. Its figures and oymluls would be meaningless to the Boman conquerors, but perfectly in- telligible to the Jews, for whom it ;was written. J. TITLE AND GREETING, Rev. 1: 1-8. • The Greeting (v. 4) is to the "seven" churches in the province of Asia. "Seven indicates all the !thurche there are. The blessing is pronounced by the Lord of the pass, present and future. The God who, in 'the troubled past, has saved his peo- ple, is still on his 'hrone?' To every ,Christian, bludgeoned by cruel cir- Oumstarce, conies the heartening thought, "He thinks of pie." IIe never !ceases to love. "Loves" in v. 5 (Auth- ?prized Version) should read (loveth) . �L TIIE TRIUMPHANT ;AMOUR, Rev. 1: 9-18.

This Favorite Yuletide Delicacy This is the season for pimp pud dings and the earlier they are pre- pared for Xmas festivities the more mellow the flavor. At one time, boiled pudding were considered indigestible and difficult to make, for the old-fashioned steamer or boiled pudding was served with a thick layer of doughy substance on the outside, clue to the fact that it was boiled in a floured cloth. The modern cook steams or boils her puddings hi smooth bowls covered with waterproof paper or in a water -tight mould fitted with a tight cover, and serves the pud- dings as light and dry as a baked one, When boiling or steaming the pud- dings, there are certain rules which must be observed in order to ensure light, tender puddings that one will 17.$ take pride in serving. 1 reg ' Father and -Son •Aviators 1.

Think, too,' of the narrow, muddy streets, lighted at night by dila oil - lamps, of the poky little shops. 'True, the stage -coaches were picturesque, but they were else rather unoomfort- able. Yet if you study the books and news- papers of those days you begin to realize that matters were not as bad as might be imagined, and that in some respects our ancestors of a .cen- tury ago got more Christmas fun fax their money than we do. Take the theatres. There were plenty of them, the plays were good, and seats were much cheaper than they are today. Also that the public were admitted at half-price after 8 o'clock. The theatres started at six or seven in those days. Sea -baths in London. There were no fewer than twenty tea gardens in and around London, with all sorts of amusements, includ- ing fireworks. At Vauxhall. Gardens, 400 people were employed. Then there were eighteen public baths in London in 1831, and sea water was laid on at all of them. In that respect our ancestors were ahead of their descendants. Food was plentiful and cheap. Beef and mut- ton were little more than one-third of their present price, and vegetables were abundant and good. Beer and porter could be had as low as a penny a glass. Spirits were almost equally cheap. Another cheap thing was travel by river. You could be rowed from Lon- don Bridge to Somerset House for 5c. In those days the river was the great channel of communication for Londoners. Saddle horses, too, were cheap. You could hire one for the day for, $2.00. The modern Londoner, transported back to those times, would have found two of his principal amuse- ments sadly lacking—football and dancing.. The great football clubs of today had not started, and such foot- ball oot ball as existed was a peculiarly brutal game, in which both hacking and trip- ping were legal. Dancing was con- fined to private houses and was very formal. But if you wish to get a real Idea of Christmas in those days, the best. way to do so is to turn to Dickens.
