The church is challenged because 1t
makes its rewards future. Wrongs

what we want is Heaven on earth.
True. very true, but the ideal for
earth is Heaven. AS long as the sense

there remain unavenged wrongs on
earth, as long as any individual life
passes out into the great unknown
with present hopes thwarted, az long

dissatisfy, SO long shall we need the
prospect of a Heaven where neither
the first nor the second death shall
enter.
A third reward Of perseverance is
the hidden manna, and the white
stone inscribed with the secret new
name. The very name of mamma
carries the mind back to that period
Of hunger when God rained down
from Heaven the sustaining food.
The real meaning of this miracle is
revealed when Christ says: Il am the
bread of life which came down out of
Heaven" It is Christ that sustains.
Not only is His life the ideal but His
companionship the inspiration. Christ
Is unseen, but His presence no less
real and more vital than the friend
seen at our side. Christ as the bread
Of life is hidden manna," because the
process of partaking of Christ is as
| unseen as the assimilation of food,
and the assurance OF salvation is .
matter between the soul and Christ
alone. Blessed are those that hun
ger and thirst after Righteousness.
There is nothing that satisfies the
hungry soul but Christ.
Then there is that secret name in
scribed on the white stone. There are
many interpretations OF its meaning,
such as that the stone is a ticket of
admission or vote.of acquittal. But,
after all, the believer with his hidden
mama has new heart. There is
both new power Of assimilation and
a new food to- be assimilated. The
old law was written on two tables Of
stone, but the new law, 50 Ezekiel
| declares, is to be written on the heart.
Forced obedience is to be changed
! into second nature that voluntarily
does right. The believer is not free

corded. The great, day Of Judgment
is simply the opening of the books
and the reading OF reward or pun
ishment already determined upon
Blessed are those whose names are
written in the Lambs book Of life.
Originally, probably, the idea Of q
book of registry arose from, the mu-
nicipal list OF Jerusalem. It shall
come to pass that he that is left In
Zion and he that atremaineth in Jerusa-
lem shall be called holy, even every
one that is written among the living
in Jerusalem. Evidently the man
whose citizenship is in Heaven, and
who being risen with Christ seeks
those things that are above, Is thus
registered in the new Jerusalem. The
people at Sardis had a name that
they lived, but they were dead. A
church registration is not always syn
onymous with Heavenly registra-
ton. Remember, therefore. and re-
pent. Not professors, but posses
sors, count with God.
The sixth promise of the risen
<lrist is that the victor shall be
pillar in the temple inscribed with
the name of God, Heaven and Jesus.
In Solomon's poreh there were two
pillars, one marked Jachin, ~He shall
establish" and the other Boaz, "in
his strength" In the church militant
not all are pillars. Paul declares that
James, Peter and John were consid-
cred to be pillars. But in the new
temple of God all are pillars, not only
columns of support, but also monu-
ments ommemorating the great
deeds Of the past. The saved Of
Heaven shall record salvation by
grace and be songs without words
in praise Of God.
Upon each pillar shall be the name
| OF God, of the new Jerusalem, and
mine own new name" What new
name? Emmanuel, God with us? ."
! Redeemer, the one who has purchased
our redemption? Jesus, the name
precious to every believer? We do
! not know; still, as the name signifies
the personality, so we shall receive
i that name of Jesus, which answers
to our own inner experience. What
we are then will be what Christ has
] been to us. The Father will see re-
fected in us the looks of Christ: His
image and superscription Will be on
u.s..

taken the crown from the altar ready

These shipments are being taken

NEW WAR MINISTER OF
TURKEY DIES SUDDENLY

CoNSTANTINOPLE, Aug. IL
The cabinet suffered great loss to-
day in the sudden death of the war
minister, Redjeb Pasha, from heart
disease.
The governmental program, which
occupies more than two columns of
the newspapers, is published today.
Its salient features include decla-
ration that all laws and regulations
not compatible with the new regime
will be amended; that the army, the
navy and all government directors
will be reorganized that non-Mus-
sulmans will be eligible for military
service. The program promises that
commercial treaties will be renewed
and the best relations cultivated with
all the powers.
The porte has requested through
the American ambassador, John G.
Leishmann, the approval by the
