The book was written frgm Patmos, a small rocky island in the Aegean sea, about 96 A. D. I. The Introduction (vv. 1-3). 1. The title of the book (v. 1) The Revelation (Unveiling) of Jesus Christ." This does not mean the mak ing known to Jesus Christ some se cret, but the unveiling of his person. The revelation of Jesus Christ, then, refers to his personal appearing In glory to judge the world and establish his kingdom. The word Apocalypse, translated Revelation, signifies, ac cording to New Testament usage, the unveiling of a person (II Thess. 1:6- 10; I Peter 1:7). The theme of the book Is Christ's second coining, his personal, visible appearance In glory (vv. 1, 7, 10). 2. To whom made known (vv. 1, 2). To his servant, John, to show unto Jesus' servants things which must shortly come to pass. S." Benediction for those who read, hear, and keep the sayings of the book (v. 3). II. The Salutation (vv. 4-8). Grace and Peace. 1. To whom (v, 4). The seven churches in Asia. These were his torical churches then existing in Asia Minor. 2. From whom (v. 4). (1) From him which was, Is, and Is to come; (2) from the seven spirits which are before the throne (v. 4). By the sev en spirits is meant the Holy Spirit In his sevenfold plenitude. III. The Vision of Glory (w. 9-18). 1. The sevenfold lamp-stands (v. 12 . These lamp-stands, or candlesticks, are the seven churches (v. 20). The churches are presented under this fig ure because they are the light-holders In this time of the world's darkness. 2. The Son of Man In the midst of the lamp-stands (vv. 13-18). The vi sion shows us Christ In the midst of the churches, indicating that the church only gives forth light when Christ Is made the central figure. (1) Clothed with a garment down to the foot (v. 13). This is a robe of royalty as well as of the priest (see Isa. 22:21), and signifies his right to Judge and to rule, as well as to offer sacrifice. i (2) Head and hair white as wool (v. 14; cf. Dan. 7:19, 20). This has a twofold significance, purity and eter Dity, (3) Eyes a flame of fire (v. 14). This suggests his Infallible knowledge; he Is able to see through and through, even detecting hidden thoughts. (4) Feet like burnished brass (v. 15), indicating that as Judge and King he comes with irresistible power. (5) His voice as the sound of many waters (v. 15).' This suggests that all excuses of man will be swept aside by( his resistless Word. (6) Seven stars in his right hand (v. 16). .According to verse 20, stars means the angels or messengers of the churches to comfort John In his lonely exile. The stars are in , his right hand, indicating the high honor given to 'the minister; he lies In the right hand of Jesus Christ, hears his message and then speaks it out. (7) Out of his mouth went' a sharp two-edged sword (v. 16). Observe that this Is not a hand sword, but a mouth sword "The word that I have spok enthe same shall, judge him" (John 12:48); "The word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword" (Heb. 4:12). The sword has two edges, condemn ing the evil and approving the good. (8) His countenance was as the sun shlneth in his strength (v. 16). The , effect of sunshine Is healthful and joy bus to some things, while it is death and hardening to others. The Gospel message converts some and hardens others. IV. The Command to Write and the Interpretation of the Vision (vv. 19, 20). In this command are indicated the divisions of the book. Satisfactory Candler May Be Made With Shoe Box Large Enough to Cover Lamp. Orepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) An egg, whether impregnated or not, has a small grayish spot on the sur face of the yolk known as the germinal spot. As soon as a fertile egg is placed under a hen or In an incubator development begins. All eggs should be tested at least twice during the period of Incubation, preferably on the seventh and fourteenth days, and the Infertile eggs and dead germs removed. White eggs can be tested on the fourth or fifth day, while the development in eggs having brown shells often can not be seen by tbe use of an ordinary egg tester until the seventh day. Dead germs soon decay and give off a bad odor if allowed to remain under the hen. Infertile eggs make good feed ior young chickens and are often used m me no me ror culinary purposes. Most incubator' companies furnish testing chimneys with their machines, which will fit ordinary lamps. Electric or gas lamps may be used in a box with a hole slightly smaller than an egg cut in the side of the box and at I the same level as the light. They may J also be, tested by sunlight or daylight, using a shutter or curtain with a small j hole in it for the light to shine through. A good homemade egg tester, or can dler, can be made with a large shoe MODE DEMANDS SEPARATE SKIRTS box, or any box that is large enough to go over a lamp, by removing the end and cutting a hole a little larger than the size of a quarter in the bot tom of the box, so that when It Is set over a kerosene lamp the hole in the bottom will be opposite the blaze.

The. testing "should take' place In a dark room. The infer tile egg, when held before the small hole, with the lamp lighted Inside the box, will look perfectly dear, the same as a fresh one, while a fertile egg-will show a small dark spot, known as the embryo, with a mass of little blood veins extending In all directions, if the embryo Is living ; If dead, and the egg has been Incubated for at least 46 hours, the blood settles away from the embryo toward the edges of the yolk, forming In some cases an Irregular circle of blood, known as a blood ring. Eggs vary In this respect, some show ing only a streak of blood. All Infer tile eggs should " be removed at the first test. The eggs containing strong, living embryos are ark and well filled up on the fourteenth day, and show a clear, sharp, distinct line of demarca tlon between the air cell and the grow ing embryo, while dead germs show only partial development, and lack this clear, distinct outline.

They are of several degrees of costliness and expenslveness out of the category of inexpensive things en tirely.
