I', church lust niKiit. .VI any declare it to be mysterious and bcaled; hut he said it is not, hut, by application, its teaching become piaiu. Jt is the capstone of the en tire revelations of the Bible, the only prophetic hook of the new testament, and the Bible would be incomplete without it. Last nixht he considered its scope and character; tonight he will deal with what it has to say about Lhrist, Thursday niht about thc thing that are coming as revealed, and Friday night the great consum mation, the New Jerusalem. i'rophecy is history written in ad vance. Revelation begins with the church at I'cutacost and deals with it down to the present time. This is found in the second and third chap ter. The fourth and iifth chapters deal with the church parsed into lory, the destiny of the clyirch. From the sixth to the end of the l&h is a series of visions covering the future of the earth. Seven is the divine num ber, being used fifty or sixty times in the book. The 19th chapter is the history of Jesus in his glory, with the redeemed in the New Jerusalem, the coming of Christ and the setting up of his kingdom. The blessings of the book arc the greatest vision of Christ; the looking at the things on earth with the eyes of a Holy God. With the mad niah after soap bubbles the world needs a message of separation. Assurance of victory for God and his people is another. He declared that one cannot be pessimistic and believe the bible. This afternoon he gave his last lee lure on the Acts. Tomorrow he will consider Romans, also on Friday af ternoon.

In their flight they killed three men. They first shot Frank Farrell, with a Winchester they had secured, hitting; him in the heart. The men appeared at the entrance of the shop where Ing ram was working.
