IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAY wool S I Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 13 JOHN’S VISION ON PATMOS LESSON TEXT— Revelation 1:4-1». GOLDEN TEXT—Fear not: I am the first and the last:... .behold. I am alive tor ever- more. Revelation 1:17, 18. PRIMARY TOPIC—When John Saw Jesus Again. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jerusalem, the Golden. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Listening to the Ever-Living Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Living Christ Among the Churches. The first chapter of the Revela tion, while it is an introduction to the entire book, is worthy of study by itself as a glorious revealing of Jesus Christ, his person and work. Some will wish to use the chapter as a preface to the study of the solemn and instructive messages to the seven churches of Asia which are found in chapters 2 and 3; but for most schools it will be better to concentrate on the messages of the chapter itself. I. His Person. While many of the characteristics of the Son of God are here presented, two are particularly emphasized. 1. His eternity (vv. 8, 11, 17). In a world which understands but little of the meaning of its past, which lives in a badly befuddled present, and admittedly knows noth ing of the future, it is a source of the deepest satisfaction and peace of heart to know and serve the One who “is and was and which is to come, the Almighty.” He already “was in the beginning,” and is to be through all eternity. 2. His glory (vv. 5, 13-16). Jesus Christ is presented in verse 5 as “the faithful witness and first begotten of the dead,” who is the ruler “over all the kings of the earth.” The followers of Christ have a glorious captain and leader. The kingdoms of all the earth are his by right. Some day he will rule in fact and in person. The infinitely beautiful description of our Lord in verses 13 to 16 is almost beyond interpretation. Have you seen him in his majesty and glory? The one who is “in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day” can still see “him who is invisible” (Heb. 11:27). II. His Work. 1. His victory (v. 18). He died for our sins but “was raised again for our justification” (Rom. 4:25). We have not a dead, but a living Saviour. He has “the keys of death and hell.” The one who follows a human leader parts with him at the grave. But he who follows Christ does not lose him when he passes over into the next world, for he is there, and he has the keys of all authority, not only in this world but also in that which is to come. 2. His love (v. 5). How deep and rich was his love toward us. It sent him to the cross. 3. His redemption (v. 5). He “washed us from our sins in his own blood.” We read in Hebrews 9:22 that "without the shedding of blood there is no remis sion.” The cults and creeds which deny or ignore the need of cleans ing in the blood of Jesus Christ may be religious but they are not Christian. 4. His fellowship (v. 13). The candlesticks are churches and the stars are God's messen gers. They are not alone in the world; he is “in the midst.” Do we recognize his presence? * 5. His return (v. 7). “Behold, he cometh with clouds.” How can anyone read the New Test- ament and fail to see, and to teach and to preach the Lord’s return? He is coming again. What is our duty in the light of his coming? a. To live lives of purity and Christian nobility. (Read I John 3:3, and compare vv. 1 and 2.) b. To be diligent in sacrificial service. “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13) is the command of the one who “went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return” (Luke 19:11). HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS eq Items of Interest to the Housewife Stains on the fingers from peel ing apples, onions or other fruits or vegetables can be removed by rubbing with a crust of bread dipped in vinegar. Wash after wards in warm water. • • • Leather - covered chairs that have become sticky should be cleansed with a cloth moistened in gasoline, benzine or alcohol. Then apply olive oil, let stand 48 hours, and wipe thoroughly with cheesecloth. Mildewed leather can be restored by applications of pe troleum ointment. • • • 1 Lace curtains before being washed for the first time should be soaked for an hour or two in cold water to which two table spoons of table salt have been add ed. This removes dressing in cur tains and makes them much eas ier to launder. • • • Black marble clocks or orna ments will have a beautiful lustre if rubbed with a soft cloth damp ened with olive oil and then pol ished with a clean chamois. • • • To cook a ham so that it will retain all its flavor, encase it with P‘ a paste made of common flour and water, taking care to see that the steam cannot escape. Bake in a hot oven, allowing a quarter of an hour for every pound. When cooked the paste can be easily re moved and it takes all the rind with it. A ham cooked in this way is delicious. • • • Tomato juice may be thickened and highly seasoned and mixed with milk for tomato soup. • • • Cake icing will adhere better and stay soft and glossy if a little glycerin is added to the icing mix- ture. • • • The blunt end of a pencil is ex cellent to use when marking ini tials on linens which are to be em* broidered. • * • White woodwork in the home can be kept clean by sponging with lukewarm suds of a pure, mild soap, then wiping dry.

WOMEN ths Ideal Companionship TRUE love must be built up- - on absolutely true friend ship; there can be no other foundation for it. . . The man and the woman must have the all-powerful sense of ideal com panionship between them. They must be able to say with truth to themselves that the world will always be richer to them together than apart. There may be many other elements in love but there can be no love at all without this element. — Harold Frederic. Doubt indulged soon becomes doubt realized.

Hill, store keeper in South Carolina. “I have now hanging on the back door of my store,” he writes, “a strip of meat smoked with FIGARO Condensed Smoke EIGHT YEARS ago. This piece of meat is ribbed belly, about 18 Inches long and 6 Inches wide. It is firm, sweet and sound as a dol lar—-neither rancid nor spoiled in any manner, and has kept perfectly these eight years. FIGARO is the finest thing I have ever seen for smoking meat. I have been using it ever since it was first put on the market." (Signed) John S. Hill. Mr. Hill has to buy the meat he cures, so he can not afford to lose any of it. Yet the average farm does lose 50 lbs. every year, be cause the meat S. E COLGIN is not thorough Discoverer of Process ly smoked. Dur of Condensing Smoke ing cold weather, keeping meat is a simple matter. But when summer comes, or a warm spell during the winter, look out. Rancidness develops. You suddenly find the meat alive with “skippers,” or worms. Green mold appears on it Or it dries out and hardens. Thorough smoking is the only known way to prevent all these troubles. But how? Everyone knows how uncertain the old smokehouse method is. Other so-called smoking methods, or substitutes for smok THE IRON ing, are likewise risky.
