BIBLE SCHOOL.
The purpose OF Revelation as outlined
in the first twenty verses OF the book is
to prepare the people, by giving comfort
patience and strength to Christians, for
the second coming Of Christ, by giving
prophetically the great outlines Of the
conflict between Christ, through the
church, and the enemy, the world. DR..
Parks believes the Revelation in its
main spiritual teachings is intended to
be understood by the common people.
It should be our effort to become
acquainted with the Jewish understand
ing and use OF symbols aud mystic
numbers. He divides the entire book
Revelation into divisions and subdivi-
sions by sevens and thus simplifies the
study of it. The Doctors class has
nearly doubled since yesterday.

feelings in expressing we're represented
by full, curved lines, while VICIOUS in.
