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).

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

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.

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

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

Someone should tell Mr. "Believe-

comes from John S. Hill, store
keeper in South Carolina. “I have

smoked with FIGARO Condensed

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
