the christians, the Jews were tn.
principal informers to effect
their arrest and punispment. The
Lord declares to the church in
Smyrna that this Jewish hostility
would grow in intensity. They
had already tasted the bitter
fruits of calumny and SANDER.
They had become poor in this
worlds goods. The tribuIation
of poverty and social ostracism
had come upon them. They had
been banished from the paths of
commerce and society. But this
tribulation of poverty in the
Smyrna church was soon to be
followed by the tribulation of
imprisonment.
The Romans were its immediate
inflicters. The Jews stood be-
hind them as prompters. But
behind all was the Devil himself.
Behold, the devil is about to
cast some of you into prison."
God has declared that He will
not suffer us to be tried above
that we are able. There is a
limit marked. Ten days; how

That man was rich and did not |

Poor yet rich,
What a glorious parenthesis that
is in our Lords address, IL know

proverty (but thou art rich.)"
Continued by earth's great ones,
this church was known of God as
the rich church--rich in the

The high moral excellence of
honorably discharging the
duties which were assigned to
them is obviously made by our
Lord the great principle and test |
of acceptable service; these words
of the Master mean faithfulness
to the human heart. We often
make mistakes by not listening to
what our hearts tell Us about our
fellow men. When under the
power of conscience, in the hard
grip of logic, and amid the un-
yielding dicta of our theological
dogmas, we are often in danger
of forgetting some of the most
fundamental faults of human ma
ture which are witnessed to US by
our heart of hearts. Faithfulness

that overcomes the world is the
spirit of Christ. 1t is only when
we arm the soul with the same
mind that was in Him, only when
we take up the cross to follow
Him even to calvary, and there
to suffer with him, that we can
gain the victory to him that over
cometh. This church with threat {

Sundays Sermon.

day at the Baptist church and Rev
J.H. Crosby continued his sermon
commenced some time ago, on
1.-The Seven Churches of Asia.
Following is synopsis of the Sun.
day sermon from the text found
in Rev. 2: SIT:
Smyrna, situated on the Her.
mean Gulf on the coast of Lydia,
became sery prosperous after the
time of Alexandria the Great,
and was, during the first two
centuries of the Christian era, one
of the principal commercial Gen.
tiers of the world, and the richest
and most beautiful city of Asia
Minor.
Lying just little to the north
of Ephesus, it WED with the lat
ter in seeking control of the c,m-
merce of the AEGEAN sea.
Smyrna was completely de-
stroyed by the invasion of the
Turks, but its admirable situa-
ton on one of the finest harbors
of the coast, soon had the effect
of reviving its trade, and is now
large and f1ourishing, and has q
population of 100000. 1t is the
only city of the seven mentioned
in these lcttees which has retain
ed its name and importance,
and is at the present time regard
ed as one CT the most fiourishing
centers of population in the Lee
want.
The church at Smyrna seems
from its early history to have
become the special object of jew
ish prosecutions. AS such it had
been sorely tried. Yet, through
all, it, had exhibited answering
fidelity toward the Lord Jesus
Christ. Now another trial, Sc
verer than any proceeding one,
was to come upon the church.
In view of that trial this letter
was written. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, to find this message
full of comfort and encourage
ment suited to church in tribu-
Iation.
"And unto the Angel of the
church in Smyrna write: These
Kings saith the first and the last
Who was dead and is alive" The
cannot we'll be under
stood unless taken in connection
With the celebration of the Diony-
ia, observed with greater enthusi-
lsm in Smyrna than in any other
'ity in Asia-Minor. This was a
estival of joy for the departure

from our companions, no cheer
ing words from comrades in the
fight; we may even hear nothing
further on this score from the
great Captain of our salvation.
But we must be faithful unto
death in our spirit, our trust, our
obedience, and OUR love.
He looks at death as a foe
whom He has conquered; He
knows the malice of his great
antagonist; He has put him to the
proof, and the proof was too
great. Whereas we tremble at
the thought of the encounter,
with Him it is the moment of our
discharge from doubt, from temp
tatien from seryitude, from
waiting. from patience, from tedi-
GUS toll; to Him it is our accep-
ance of the reward, the crown,
and the glory.
Such is the purpose of this
brief but most complete letter to
the church in Smyrna ~ Tia
letter TO the church in EpteR16.
