MYSTERY BOOK I OF THE BIBLE _ I 1 Sunday School Lesson For Sunday on Chapter One of Revelations (By William T. Ellis.) Because faddists and eccentric folk misuse it, and because most of its figures of speech pass the knowl edge of us occidentals, the Book of The Revelation is one of the neglect- > ed portions of the Bible. Avowedly a mystery book, with hidden mean- ! /"ngs, it is yet meant as a revelation. It was written by one Christian to j other Christians to convey comfort and instrucUon. Any open-minded persen who will read through the j entire Revelation at a sitting, as it j was originally meant to be read, will J find it full of clear teaching, in ad- , ditlon to the passages that are veil- • ed. It is a book of revelation, and j rot of obscuration. Several times during the present year these comments have pointed j out the extraordinary and Providen tial timeliness of the current Sunday School Lessons. Xone have been : more so than the three studies in the Book of Revelation. Xow, as perhaps : never before within the memory of man, the world is In a state of re ligious bewilderment. People are wondering what the spiritual signiflc- I a nee of the universal upheaval can be. ! Usages and institutions which were I thought to be permanent are totter- ; ingr. A vast and fundamental ques- | tloning of old beliefs is abroad among men. Not a few thoughtful and rev erent spirits, appalled by the awful- j nrss of the world tragedy, are even ' asking whether there can be a God; 1 or whether He cares for mankind. I The cloud that overshadowed the I minds of Christians in the terrible I days of the persecutions under Donii tian, when this book was written, is i now resting upon many in the church j to-day. May John's message serve the same purpose to-day that it serv ed at the end of the first century of the Christian era. It is only the known that is baffling. ! So the first reasonable step in ap- j proaching the study of the Apocalypse (and it is well to remember that ! apocalyptic literature, though not now in vogue, was a common vehicle I of teaching two thousand years ago) is to fix firmly in mind the mundane ! and historical facts in the case. Let 1 us get the book down out of the realm of unreality. A real man wrote it. He was our ! old friend John, author of the Fourth j Gospel and of the three New Testa- ! went Letters that bear Ills name. This j is the same John whom we call "the ! beloved disciple" and who reposed 1 on the breast of Jesus at the Last; Supper. He had the clearest com prehension of the mind of Christ on earth, and now it is given to him I 9 to see farthest Into the purposes of Christ in heaven. They who are closest to Christ best understand His will. John was the only surviving apostle. He had been minister of the Church at Ephesus, and had been exiled to Patmos by the anti-Christian OUCH] PAIN! RUB OUT RHEUMATISM Stop suffering! Relief comes the moment you apply "St. Jacobs Oil."

Anybody who cares to do so ! may visit Patmos. Doesn't it seem as if a Christian with a private yacht would most of all delight to visit the Mediterranean, and all the seaports mentioned in the New Testament, go ing ashore to traverse the scenes of jthe earthly life of Jesus? Patmos is a rocky island, about ten miles long by ' six miles wide, a short distance off the I coast from Ephesus. The usage of sending notable prisoners to islands is both old and new; General Town shend, the British defender of Kut el Amara, is at this moment a pris oner on a small island in the same Aegean Sea. There were seven real churches to whom this Revelation was sent. They bore the names of seven great cities of Asia, as the Roman Province was then called which comprises the pres ent Turkish district of Anatolio, or Western Asia Minor. I. myself, have visited four of them. The cities were Ephesus we may be sure that John would put his beloved Ephesus first —Smyrna, which to-day is the sec ond city of the Turkish Empire; Per | gamus. Thyatira. Sardis (where 1 Princeton University was conducting | notable archaeological researches when the war broke out). Philadel phia and Laodicaea. All these cities j may be found on the map of the ancient world. Some knowledge of | them and of their characteristics in the year 90 A. D. help to an under ( standing of the Book of Revelation. In truth, one needs a measure of his torical and geographical perspective i if he is to read this book with profit. I It is an unsafe record for one with out a sense of proportions. Nothing Ms easier than to exalt one's own time I and place into undue importance. Also it is essential to a proper reading of this book to recall the heavy drafts that the writer makes upon Old Test ament figures of speech, specially as I drawn from Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel and the Psalms.

I.—The Chicago diet squad is to have a rival in the shape of a University of Pennsylvania diet team If plans now well under way are carried through. Dr. Simon N. Patten, professor of political economy, assisted by the members of the Wil liamsport Club of the University and Professor Alonzo K. Taylor, of the de part of physiological chemistry, has formulated plans by which it is thought possible the record of the Chicago squad may be beaten more than It cents a day. Dr. Patten has for some time held a theory that the diet of the University students is fundamentally wrong. Yes terday he asserted not only that s£.<>o a week was sufficient to feed a man, but that if a regular healthy diet were adopted the students might complete in three years the course that now takes them four years.
