The man had vision; and . because he possessed vision he , guv.- to posterity one of the'must discussed books of the Bible. . Rut recently there died on- of I the greatest visionists of all time i His name was Thomas Alva Edison. His visio nwas nil of a r - ligious character, however. l,i U , )f a strictly matter-of-fact. practical i sort. He visioned things to make I the 'ife of lis fellow man the I easier and the more enjoyable. I I' was his vision that hiought | into being the electric light and ! saved the sight of the world. It I was his vision that wrought the | phonograph — the first “ta'k’-'g niac.iine”— and by this medium . spread abroad education and love of finer things into the ends of I earth. It was bis vision that made possible th’ improvements in the telegraph; the motion picture machine; the radio. Each an.l every one if his contributions proved of tremendous value to his fellow | man. We need not confine our vision to religion. We can, as did Edison? vision things for the < miort of ifte about us and make mankii d the happier and healthier because of it. ’et us have vision to do the j things that make for the true Christion life and fulfill, in this I manner, the task which has been allotted to us. o Little for Creditor* Liabilities of $25.n00 and assets of “set of gold buttons *.KP were listed by a bankrupt st a meeting of creditors in I <>nd»n recently

a single day—Golden Rule Sunday —was observed. This has now been extended to one week in order that • secular as w‘ell as religious groups might share in the observance. An outstanding ft attire is the eating of one or more frugal meals, known as Golden Rule Dinners, the saving in cost being the basis of a contribution for those in need—especially undernourished children.

(find it today. Among the most notable points: lof St. Patrick's is a 14th century j tower and steeple. 221 feet in ! height. The flying butresses are j isomething rare in Ireland, and the. beauty of the carrillon in the belfry ' is famous. This contains a chiming clock and a peal of ten bells. Within the church are many tablets and monuments. There is a. stone pulpit, the gift of Dean I’akenham. and one can still view the old pulpit which Dean Swift occu-i pied and where he preached many! of his famous sermons. It war while he was occupied with ■■ this charge that Dean Swift formed his association witli Stella and Vanessa, the two romances of his j life which remain mysteries of liter-, lature. It is interesting to note that | 'when he left his charge, it was because of failing senses and that, ithree years later, he died a lunatic. ; Oddly enough, he left money to found a lunatic asylum and this was done shortly before his attack. Within the cathedral are busts and tablets of Swift; a tablet to Hester Johnson (Stella) and to Carolan, the last of the Irish bards. The baptistry is the oldest/ part of the building. The well of St Peter, where the good saint is said to have baptized converts, haa been closed for many years.

In conformity with *ht decree, Paul withdrew to this island, which lay southwest of Ephesus and to the west of Miletus in the Aegean sea.

What tradition concerning his death is also to be found? ANSWERS 1. The last authentic reference, j to John in the New Testament is | that mentioning him on the occa-j sion of Paul's visit to Jerusalem | after his first missionary journey, i 2. John remained in Jerusalem ■ for some time, associating with | the otlmr apostles under the direcI tion of Simon Peter and the deaei ons in charge. 3. John went to Enhesus be-, cause he was appointed to take. ; charge of that territory. 4. John was the Bishop of, I Enhesus. His jurisdiction extend- ■ ed over the sevm churches which had been established in Asia. 5. About 95 A.1)., the Emperor; Domitian became annoyed with! the activities of John at Ephesus! and Innished him to the Isle of Patmos. 6. While there. John wrote the ' Pook of Revelations, which fore . told things lie believed would I ' come to pass and gave strength' 1 and comfort to the church in time: j of trial. 7. When Nerva succeeded toI newer. John was enabled to leave Pa*mos and resume his bishopric in Ephesus. 8. John wrote the fourth Gospel and three Epistles. 9. John died at a ripe old age I at Ephesus. His death was from j natural causes brought about through advancing years. 10. It is said that in the works | of Papias there was a legend that J I John was slain by the Jews in j Jerusalem, as was his brother | James. In that event, another I man named John must have serv-j 'ed at Ephesus. But this tradition | has been olng discounted as tin-' ’ true.

When Nerva succeeded Domitian, Paul returned to Ephesus, where the last years of his life were spent. It was there he wrote his gospel and penned the three epistles which bear his name. John lived to a ripe old age and died peacefully with work well done. He was buried near the scene of the greater works of his life.

reiving torn their fathers and mothers today will largely make up ’ their rules of conduct and pro-I cesses of thinking whenkthey take j up the reins of business and social j life as we give them up. The influence which we are exerting consciously or unconsciously will go on from generation to generation. The responsibility is ours’ and it cannot be side stepped. We | are all parents or we are examples ' to children. Are we doing our full share to set be.ore the coming generations the principles which stand for progress and lite? In the home rests the futu e of this nation and the other nations of the world. The church is the outstanding force which is stimulating, cementing and upholding our homes. With out the support of the church the standards of our home life will be , lowered and the heart of national life will decay.
