portant successes in the Sereth re-
eion. They compelled the Austro-

river of the water Of life that pro-
reeds from the throne Of God. Para
disc. then. is where God is.
Continuing he said: "The Prophets
sIoses and jeremiah speak of the
first heaven. or the atmospheric heav-
en-. and the Prophet John in Rev. vi,
l3, speaks of the stellar heaven, which
would be the second heaven. The
heaven spoken of by John in Rev.
xii. |, is the the atmospheric heaven.
''Lhc woman represents the church Of
the Lord throughout the chapter. The
great red dragon, having seven neads
and ten horns and seven crowns upon
his head represents Rome in its
pagan and papaI forms of govern
meut. The 1860 days are the 1860
years in which the church was ocrse-
