“JESUS CHRIST, THE FIRST AND LAST”

Revelation 1:1-8, 17-tO.—December S. The Message of the Risen Christ —In a Trance the Apostle John Saw a Series of Visions Foretelling the Leading Events of the Gospel Age, the Seven Stages of the Development of the Gospel Church and the Setting Up of the Messianic Kingdom. •'Fear not; l am the First and the Last, and the Living One; and 1 teas dead, and behold, l am alive for evermore.”—Verses 17, IS. R. T. CUE VISIONS granted St. John, recorded iu the Revelation, are in no sense to be understood as realities; and tins is the significance of his statement, "I was In the spirit on the Lord's day”—Sunday. There are many reasons for concluding that while the messages were given to the seven

churches specified, and were applicable to them, nevertheless these messages should have a wider application to the whole Church of Christ, the number seven representing completeness, and the order represen 11 n g different epochs In the

history of the Church. Thus the Church at Ephesus would represent the condition of the Church at the time of the writing of the message; while the Laodicean Church would represent the Church in the end of the Gospel Age—today. The other churches would correspondingly represent different epochs between then and now. The thought that the number seven signifies completeness is emphasized in the other symbolical representations—the seven spirits, the seven golden candlesticks, the seven stars, etc. Verse 5 teaches what Is in direct antagonism to the creeds of Christendom —that the risen Christ was “the first begotten from the dead.” That is, our Lord was the first to experience a resurrection in the full sense of the word. Although some before Him were temporarily awakened, they relapsed into death; for they were only partial illustrations of resurrection, to assure men of the Divine Power to accomplish it fully in the due time appointed of God. Verse 7 clearly teaches that at our Lord’s Second Advent the world will pe far from converted to God. Some Scriptures taken disconnectedly seem to teach that the world will be converted before His return; hut when God’s Word is viewed as a whole, these will he found to favor the opposite view—that Christ comes for the very purpose of converting the world, and that the glorified Church of the Gospel Age will share with their Lord in His Messianic Reign.

Christ and the glorified Church will be spirit beings, invisible to men. Our Lord’s presence will be manifested to the world by exhibitions of power and glory, not to their natural sight, but to their eyes of understanding. His presence and His authority will be recognized In the punishments and the blessings flowing to mankind from His Reign. Some will discern the new Ruler sooner than will others, put ultimately “every eye shall see [Greek. horao —discern] Him.”. “He cometh with clouds”; and while these clouds of trouble will hang heavy and dark, when the mountains—kingdoms—are trembling and falling, when the earth —organized society—is disintegrating, some will realize that Jehovah’s Anointed is beginning His Reign. What the Beloved Disciple Saw. St. John’s attention was first attracted by a trumpet-like voice behind him. Turning, he saw iu symbol what the Lord’s people may now see with the eye of faith and understanding—One clothed like a priest, amongst seven golden candlesticks. We are not to regard the word-picture of Verses 13-10 as our Lord’s portrait; for it is merely symbolic. The countenance of the glorified Lord was so splendid that St. John fell as dead. But our Lord touched him gently, raising him up and speaking words of comfort and love. This same message the Father has sent to us through the Son. We must recognize that our Lord Jesus was the Beginning and the End of the creation - of God, through

raised from death by the Divine Power, and who is alive for evermore. We must recognize that He has the key. the power over Hades—the tomb—to deliver all therein imprisoned; and that He has the key, the power over death, to liberate all mankind from the dominion of Sin and Death into the full liberty and life of sons of God. We are also to recognize that In His hand—His power—are the “seven stars,” Angels, messengers, of the seven Churches. Apparently the stars represent special servants through whom the Lord would send the appropriate message for each epoch in the Church’s experience; for the messages to the various Churches are addressed to these “stars.”

whom God made all th i n g s else, and who is next to Jehovah, representing the Father in everything. (Revelation 3:14; Colossians 1:15; John 1:1-3; 1 Corinthians 8:0.) tVe must recognize our Lord as the One who really died for our sins, but who was

The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg

By F. A. MITCHEL

“I have heard that you won your wife from the fact that you were a successful author,” said Dawson to his friend Sturdevant. ‘‘lf a man wants to win a woman he must raise himself above his fellow men by doing something that glitters. To wear a gaudy uniform is the easiest way with the ordinary type of woman. But I am not surprised that it required a different sort of prominence to secure Mrs. Sturdevant. She is a very bright woman and would naturally look up to a man of your caliber.” Sturdevant glanced at the celling, then at the floor, then out through the window. ‘‘Yes,” he replied, “my wife is a smart woman, but she has no reason to admire me.”

“That’s modesty for you.” “You don’t know anything about women, John. You say a woman to love a man must look up to him. So far, so good. But she is Just as likely to love him because she looks down on him. The truth is, the sex is not to be analyzed. This story that I won my wife on account of my literary standing is balderdash. I’ll tell you the basis of it If you like.” “Please do so.” “I have always been rather impractical. and Dora is the very reverse. When I met her I was ambitious* to write a successful novel. She listened to my talk, sympathized with me, but I could see that she considered me in the clouds. “ ‘You don’t seem to think I’m up to the work of successful scribbling?’ I said to her one day, miffed at her want of enthusiasm. “ ‘I think you’re not down to It,’ she replied. “ ‘What do you mean?’ “ ‘Oh, that take too long to explain.’ “She might have truthfully added, T wouldn’t attempt to try to fire it into as stupid a brain as yours.” “I was engaged at that tltae on my Btory, "The Goose That Paid the Golden Egg.’ ” “I believe 200,000 copies were sold?” Dawson broke in. “Three hundred thousand.” “And all the while,” Interrupted Dawson, “it was you who”— “Don’t be in such a hurry. I’m telling, this story*. I put SIjQQQ inta the

venture. 1 Intended to spend it all on the printing and binding, but Dora persuaded me to have it illustrated. So l paid .sltio of the amount for pictures. 'l'lie book was published through Lampblack A Mo., who put their imprint oil the title page. “Three months passed, and I got a check from them for $27.50. The pub lie didn’t clamor for the goose that laid the golden egg worth a cent One reviewer said that It was easy to pick out the goose that didn’t lay the golden egg, which complimentary remark evidently referred to the author. Another three months passed, and I got another check for $0.75. “What was my surprise when the next quarterly payment was made to receive $l5O. After that one day when I was introduced to a man he looked at mo curiously and asked. ‘Author of “The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg?” ’ Surprised, 1 admitted that I was and with a heart flutter. The next day I was told by a friend that my book was being talked about, and, stopping at a book and news stand, the dealer told me that he was selling it like hot cakes. I asked him to what he attributed the sudden increase of sales, and he replied: “ ‘The public wants If “This satisfied me that I had at least struck a popular vein, and I hoped to climb the ludder of literary fame.

“To make a long story short, my novel was talked about by everybody, rich and poor, high and low. In six months I had cleared a small fortune; then the sales fell to nothing, I had made some money, but no literary reputation. “Dora and I were married and went to Europe on a bridal trip. One (lay while on the voyage over I was twitting her on her want of appreciation of my ability to succeed as an author, when Rlie said: “ ‘The reviewer who said that it was eaßy to pick out the goose that didn’t lay the golden egg was half right. Now listen to me. “ ‘One day after your novel had fallen flat,’ she went on, ‘I concluded to try to stir up an Interest in it,. I went to nil my friends and told them there was a hidden meaning In the title and asked them to guess what it was. They nil went about propounding the (juery to their friends. It got noised about that there was a mystery In the book that did not appear on the surface. I re-enforced the position by propounding the query whether the goose was a goose or a gander. This sot people quarreling as to whether the hero. Tom I’hunnyfeller, or (lie heroine, Miriam Twaddleby, was the mystery. To half my friends I suggested that the book was written to advocate the cause of votes for women; to the other half that it was an attack on the abilities of our sex. That’s all. I didn’t have to do any more. The public got hungry for the goose, and we got the golden egg.’ ” Sturdevant paused. “Why haven't you followed up yolir success?” asked Dawson. “Because my wife would not permit me to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.” Slow Service. Captain Sparks had just been placed In charge of the country fire station and looked a very important personage asr he conducted a visitor around the premises. This, notwithstanding the fact that the engine resembled nothing

so much as a sweet roast potato oven Joined to a village pump, and other uncanny look1n g appliances which were neither useful nor ornamental. The v 1811 or was duly impressed, but one

thing puzzled him. “Why," said he, “you don’t seem to have either a telegraph orlelephone installation In the village. Row do you summon your men when a fire breaks ont?” The captain was equal to the occa sion. “Oh, that’s simple enough,” he replied. “We sends ’em all a postcard.”
