west of the coast of Asia Minor, and about ten miles long and six broad, barren, and fv the most part very rocky "For the word ot God and the testimony of Jesus." Th« phrase proâ€" bably indicates that John was banishâ€" ed to the Island of Patmos because of preaching of the gospel of Chriss "I was in the Spirit on the Lord‘s day." This is the only time in the New Testament that we have the phrase, "the Lord‘s day," and we may easily believe that it refers t> the day we now call Sunday. And I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet. (See also 4:1).

Those who have read his classic works, The Mothers, and Rational Evolution, know him as one of the great living anthropologists to whom the proper study of manâ€" kind is man. Only the first half of this book presents the case against the huâ€" Laodicea. Christ himself in verse 20 tells us that these lampstands are the seven churches. They are lightâ€"bearâ€" ers to the world (Matt. 5:14), especâ€" ially to a world that itself is darkness "And in the midst of the candleâ€" sticks one like unto a son oi man." The title here given to Christ is one frequently occurring in Ezekiel and Daniel and is used more than eighty times in the Gospels, always, with two exceptions, by Christ himself. It is a title which sets forth the human element of our Savior‘s caaracter "Clothed with a garment down to the foot." The garment to the leet sugâ€" gests the right to govern and to judge and it is the robing of judicial avâ€" thority, not the robing of the priest. Christ is here seen having sole right to pronounce verdict and sentence on all the services that the church renâ€" ders. this book owes its title to Harold Nicholson, who in reviewing one of Mr. Briffauit‘s books, _ comâ€" plained, "There is no reason why Mr. Briffault should get so angry.‘ To which Mr. Briffault replies, "Social progress has invariably been the outcome of anger called forth by abuse." Whether or not Mr. Briffault felt abused by Mr. Nicholson‘s remark and " Reasâ€" ons For Anger" is the result, we are not certain. But we certainly do appreciate the fact that he has written these fourteen essays disâ€" cussing the stupidity of man, caused, Mr. Briffault argues, by the primitive vested interests, esâ€" pecially â€" superstition, evolutioniâ€"‘ zed into a formal religion.

"The Foundation â€"of Civilizaâ€" tion" by Will Durant (The Musâ€" son Book Company, Ltd., Toronâ€" to) $1.29, offers some interesting reading for such a low price. Ever since the first volume of Will Durant‘s Story of Civilizatio: was published a year ago, the publishâ€" ers have been asked to reprint the first â€"section of it which was enâ€" titled the Establishment of Civiliâ€" zation. It is in response to this widespread demand that the presâ€" ent volume is issued. About twenty years ago, Will Durant planned to write a history _of civilization in the nineteenth century. ~He discovered, as he proceeded,> that his subjece ‘could be understood only in terms of what had come before. His reâ€" searches gradually led him‘ into the formation of a plan for writâ€" ing a history of all civilization, ancient and modern, occidental andâ€" oriental.

A book strongly recommended for those who like reading matter which causes a certain amount of cerebration. "And the Living one; and 1 was }dead, and behold, I am alive for everâ€" more." Every man could at one tune say, I was living and alive. but this one had lived and had die# and was alive again. And not only again, but he was alive for evermore. He was the eternal and everlasting one. "And I have the keys of death and of Hades and if the keys of all the world â€" supernal and infernal, swing at the girdle of the Son of God. then we do know and know for certa n that ail those kingdoms will be administered in accordance with the most imnmcu-‘ late justice and the most pertect love. "And when 1 saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead." So other great servants of God have been similarly affected by a revelation of divine glory, as Isaiah (6:5), Ezekiel (1:28) Daniel (8:17). "And he laid his right hand upon me saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last." What inftnite merey there is revealed here!

"And out of his meuth proceedâ€" ed a sharp twoâ€"edged sword." The word of God has power to penetrate through every shield and device beâ€" hind which man attempts to hide from God‘s scrutiny and judgment. "And his countenace was as the sun shineth in his strength." This same dazzling glory was noticed when our Lord was transfigured in the days of his earthly ministry (Matt. 17:2); a spectacle that John, the author of this Look, would well remember. 1 "And he had in his right hand seâ€" ven stars." In verse 20 Christ tells us these stars are the angels of the seven churches, i.e., they are Christ‘s messengers set for w tnessing in the respective assemblies by his appointâ€" ing.
