ROMANS 7:15 ?"For I do not do what I want, but I
do the verv thing I hate." (RSV)
...
A man invited into the control room of a large mod
ern airplane was amazed at dozens of dials, indicators
and delicate instruments provided for the safety and
control of the great ship of the air. Especially fascin
ating was the gyro-compass steadily pointing the dir
ection unaffected by surrounding influences.
But surprisingly enough, there was also an old-fash
ioned'magnetic compass. It was explained that the
gyro-compass, though not affected by its environment,
is controlled by a power within itself which gradually
changes and has to be corrected occasionally by the
magnetic compass. The lalter, though temporarily af
fected by surrounding magnetic Influences, is subject
to the earth's unchanging, (ar away'pole.
Everyone needs that power within himself, called
will, to guide his life. But one's will alone is not a
safe guide. We all need the constant guidance of the
divine jpower outside and beyond ourselves. Daily
prayer and meditation serve to correct our wills by
the will of God and to keep us on the true course.

The New Heaven and New Earth
ST. JOHN- HAS A VISION OF THINGS TO COME WHEN
THE OLD WORLD HAS PASSED AWAY
Scripture?Revelation 21.
Ey NEWMAN CAMPBELL
WE HAVE now come to the
last chapter of our Bible, written
by the last of the apostles, John.
He was on the island of Patnos,
in the Aegean sea. Dr. Wilbur M.
Smith calls this chapter "One of
the most exalted, glorious, radi
antly beautiful chapters of all the
Bible."
St. John writes:
"And 1 saw a new heaven and
a new earth; for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed
aw^ and there was no more sea.
Ar^P John, saw the Holy City,
nev^Kjerusalem, coming down
fro^jod out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her hus
band."
Probably even the youngest of
the Sunday school pupils has seen
a bride dressed for her wedding,
and looking her loveliest, to meet
her bridegroom.
"And I heard a great voice out
of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men,
will be thrilled with John's de
scription of the jasper walls,
"clear as crystal." of the great
wall with its 12 gates guarded by
12 ang?ls. the 12 foundations of
the wall on which were the names
of the 12 apostles.
There was no temple In the
great city, for there was no need,
for God and His Son, the Lamb,
ruled there to be worshiped.
The city was pure gold, and the
12 gates were of 12 pearls; "every
gate was of one pearl." . ...
"And the city had no need of the
sun, neither of the moon, to shine
in it; for the glory of God' did
lighten it, and the Lamb (Jesus)
is the light thereof."
"And the nations of them that
are saved shall walk in the light
of it; and the kings of the earth
do bring their glory and honor
into it.
"And the gates of it shall not
be shut at all by day; for there
shall be no night there.
"And there shall in no wise
enter into it any thing that de

and He will dwell with them, and
they shall be His people, and God
Himself shall be with them, and
be their God.
"And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying:, neither shall
there be any more pain; for the
former thing's are passed away.
"Atid He that sat upon the
throne said. Behold, I make all
things new. And He said unto
me. Write: for these words are
true and faithful."
"And He said unto me. It is
done. I am the Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end (these
are the first and last letters of the
Greek alphabet). I will give unto
him that is athirst of the foun
tain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit
all things; and I will be his God,
and he shall be My son."
We have not space to describe
in all details this beautiful city
which God shall create for His
children, but the younger chil
dren as well as the older ones.
fileth, neither whatsoever work* 1
eth abomination, or maketh a \
: lie; but they which are written in
| the Lamb's book of life."
Dr. Smith quotes the words of
j the late Mr. Scott about the
stones that composed this great
city, as follows;
"Amongst precious stones the
jasper and sardius are remark*
able for their brilliancy. These
hard and indestructible gems are
fit emblems of lncorruption in
| the glorified state. The blue
'wavy colors of the rainbow' in
, the one, and the red of the other
are flashed out in wondrous
| beauty."
This beautiful city was larger
than any city on earth today. Dr.
Smith has computed the number
I of people who may inhabit It to
be a hundred thousand million.
When will it come? No one
knows, but wouldn't you and your
families like to be eligible to live
in it? And how happy and com
forted the apostle must have felt
after he was given this vision of
I the Holy City!

THE GLEAM FROM BEYOND THE CLOUDS
There may be folks who dream of a new
year with no clouds over the horizon. .But
life has taught most of us that there is
never a day <ree of uncertainty.
Some like to rejoice in the calm of today
and give no thought to the clouds of to
morrow. Theirs is a contentment without
strength, a happiness empty of hope.
Put stronger souls see both the calm
and the clouds. And they look beyond
the clouds to the Light whose rays bathe
the horizon.
These are the souls who face the new
year with faith in their God. They know
the days will not be without shadow. The
ripples may sometimes become angry
breakers. But they follow the gleam across
another year . . . the Gleam from beyond
the clouds.
The Church is for those who would look
ahead . . . ever toward the Light.
