concerned with the closing months OF

ion Of most commentators to the
present and future times.
The places covered in the lessons
are Bethany, Jerusalem and vicinity,
and the isle Of Patmos, where Jonn
was given his vision. It Is interest
ing to note how large part Of the Cos
pei Of John Is devoted to the las.

tracted became the field Of Jesus la
bors.

are chiefly Jesus. the twelve apostles,
the family at Bethany. the Jewish

Important Suggestions.
In studying the review, consider
especially:
That by what Christ did on earth
we became acquainted with the Saw
iour, Who is now our Saviour-King.
That Jesus is doing now the same
kind of things, by the same means,
as He did on earth, and with the
same conflict with evil
That the line drawn through the
Ascension is the dividing line between
Christ's first coming and His second
coming. The periods, the great move
ments almost join The second COM
ing, as a whole, began while some OF
the apostles we're living. They were
not mistaken in their expectations OF
the fact, though they did not realize
all the glory at once, nor even yet.
The astronomers told US that spring
began on the 21st of March. But that
day it was showing, and we did moi
realize all that makes spring time, the
flowers, the blossomipg trees. the
green fields. the balmy breezes. But
we were not mistaken in believing
that the period of spring had cone
the period in which all those things
would be realized.
That in the midst of the conflict
there are songs of triumph, as Rev.
and and II.
On which side are you In this con-
fict? Are you working with Jesus
Have you enlisted in His army? Art
you an open follower Of Him al
Saviour and King? Let this be De
cision Day.
