PAGE FOUR THE DAILY COURIER, CONNELLSVILLE. PA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28,1956. The New Heaven and Earth ILLUSTRATED SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Scripture--Revelation 21. By Alfrtd i.

Butschir St John, the last of the 12 Apostles, vent to the island of Patrnos, located in the Aegean sea, and there saw a great vision of the New Jerusalem descending from heaven. John wrote as he was bidden: "And I Then John wrote, he saw the Holy City, John saw a new heaven and a new earth, the New Jerusalem coming down from for the first heaven and the first earth God out of heaven, and a great voice were passed away, and there was no said, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is more sea." witji God Himself will dwell with His people, and He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there will be no more death. MEMORY VERSE--Revelation 21:3, 4. The New Heaven and New Earth ST. JOHN HAS A VISION OP THINGS TO COME WHEN THE OLD WORLD HAS PASSED AWAY Scripture--Revelation St.

By NEWMAN CAMPBELL HAVE now come to the last chapter of our Bible, written fay 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, radiantly beautiful chapters of all the Bible." St.

John writes: "And I saw a new heaven and aaiew earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And John, saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, preparsd as a bride adorned for her husband." 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 description of the jasper walls, "clear as crystal," of the great wall with its 12 gates guarded by 12 angels, the 12 foundations of the Walloon 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- MEMORY VERSE "God: Himself oe with them, and be their God; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more 4. and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. 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 things are passed away. "And 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 fountain of the water of lift 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 wfliich God shall create for Hli children, but the younger children as well as the older ones, flleth, neither whatsoever work- eth abomination, or maketh a lie; but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." Dr. Smith quotes the words of the late Mr.

Scott a the stones that composed this great city, as follows: "Amongst precious stones the jasper and sardius are remarkable for their brilliancy. These hard and indestructible gems are fit emblems of incorruption in the glorified state. The blue 'wavy colors of the rainbow' in the one, and the of the other are flashed out in beauty." This beautiful city was larger than any city on earth today. Dr. Smith haa computed-the number 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 comforted the apostle must have felt after he was given this vision of the Holy City! Three U.S. Newsmen Go Into Red China; Facing Legal Action WASHINGTON (UP) Three American newsmen who slipped into Red China illegally could face heavy fines, imprisonment and loss of other privileges, government officials said today.

Room 402 Phone 125 "Bottleneck" Denied By Nixon, Relief Program Expedited CAMP KILMER, N.J. (UP)-Vice President Richard M. Nixon denied reports Thursday that there is a "bottleneck" in the government's relief program for Hungarian refugees.
