conversation by saying, with the least
possible show of emotion, DO 1 un-
derstand you to say etc. No; he piles
up his metaphors and superlatives,
reinforced by a theatrical display of
gestures and facial expressions, in or
der to make the hearer feel his mean
ing.
THE Orientars speech is always
illustrated He speaks as 1t were in
pictures. With him the spoken lam
guage goes hand in hand with the
more ancient gesture language. His
profuse gesticulation is that phase of
his life which first challenges the at
tention of Occidental travellers in the
east He points to almost everything
he mentions in his speech, and would
portray every feeling and emotion by
n cans of some bodily movement. No
sooner does he mention his eye than
his index finger points to or even
touches that organ. Do you under
stand me?' is said to an auditor with
the speakers finger on his own tenn
pie. In rebuking one who makes un-
reasonable demands upon him, a Syr-
ian would be likely to stoop down and
say, Don't you want to ride on my
back?'"

study should promote a church sense.
The lesson will miss its mission with
us, If it does not help us to contem-
plate the church in the large; and to
enter into what may be termed, in
noblest significance, the ecclesiastical
mind. "He that hath an ear to hear,
let him hear what the spirit saith unto
the churches"
As an Oriental Speaks
John did not write in English for
twentieth century American readers.
His speech is that of his time and his
country, fact which would save more
than a little bewilderment if borne
in mind. A timely word of this point
his recently been written by Abraham
Nitric Rihbany, the Syrian pastor of
distinguished Boston church, who
writes in his new book 1.-The Syrian
Christ as follows:
"A Syrian's chief purpose in a con-
versation is to convey an impression
by whatever suitable means, and not
to deliver his message in scientifically
accurate erms. He expects to be
judged not by what he says. but by
what he means. He does not expect
his hearers to listen to him with the
quizzical courtesy of 'cool-headed
Yankee. and to interrupt the flow OF

themselves so proudly in the days
when John was an ignored exile on
the rocky island of Patmos, have now
passed away.
What John wrote applied definitely
10 each church as he knew it. His
characteriZations were particular,
and their application was meant to
fit definite cases. We know enough
history to perceive that the dangers,
against which he warned the church.
es, were real and individual and char
acteristic: they were not vague moral
izings. This is to be kept clearly in
mind. Let us not lose the historical
aspect of our studies. The Bible
suffers from over spiritualizing. and
from making it appear manual of
moralizings.
Bearing that fact in mind. we may
go on to the clear truth that the mes
sage to the seven churches of Asia is
applicable to-day to the Church of
Christ universally The warnings and
pleadings written down by the inspir-
ed pen of this seer of Patmos. are
applicable and appropriate to present
conditions. Any church may find its
own portrait in these passages indited
to the seven churches of Asia. This

entail images. and its figures must al
ways be understood as such, is a eau
tion that cannot be repeated too often.
The Text for the Times
One word is common to all seven
messages to the churches in this les
son. Its very iteration gives it power.
Each address closes with 1t, for the
troubled times of that day needed
Christians of one certain quality even
as in our own day. The word is Ito
him that overcometh." Much of the
text of Revelation is difficult: this is
clear Whoever overcomes reckons
with God and is rewarded by God.
Seven different rewards were prom
ised to the churches which should
overcome. First of all, to the church
at Ephesus the word was sent ITO him
that overcometh to him will I give to
eat of the tree of life which is the par
adise of God"
To the church at Smyrna the word
was, HE that overcometh shall not
the stone new name which none
be hurt of the second death"
To the church at Pergamos, the
longer and more difficult promise,
ITO him that overcometh, to him will
| give of the hidden mama, and |
will give him white stone. and up
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-08

knoweth but he that receiveth it."
The long promise to the overcom-
ers at Thyatira includes HE that
overcometh will / give authority over
the nations"
In the message to the church al
Sardis we read, "He that overcometh
shall thus be arrayed in white gar
ments, and will in no wise blot his
name out of the book of life, and
will confess his name before my Fa-
ther and before His angels"
To the church at Philadelphia
John wrote, He that overcometh ]
will make him a pillar in the temple
of my God, and he shall go out thence
no more; and I will write upon him
the name of my God.'
Finally, to the church at Laodicea
came the message, HE that over
cometh, I will give to him to sit down
with me in my throne, as also over
came and sat down with my Father in
His throne
Now this uniform conclusion OF
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-08

each message, with an exhortation to
the spirit of overcoming, is not by
chance. That promise is stiffening
for our spineless time. Our people
are enervated. We yield to environ
ment, having given to it, in the shop
talk of the schools, a verjtable sane
tity. John has no patience with this
notion that a man is the slave OF his
surroundings. His message In effect
is, "Quit drifting. and overcome"
"Oh, but" we respond in the words
of our modern creed-song Every
body's doing it,"
No matter: overcomei The best
promises of the Revelation-of God are
to those who have the conquering
spirit. These prosecuted Christians in
the heather. idolatrous cities of sem
suaI and conventionalized Rome were
overcomers: so what must we be7
