THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

                                             Stephen N. Haskell


                 “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
                                              hand” Revelation 22:10.



               will  men  eat  the  food  of  idolatry  when  the


               bread  of  heaven  is  free  to  all?  Why  do



               Christians in the education of their children,


               cultivate  in  them  an  appetite  for  “food


               sacrificed  to  idols,”  instead  of  spreading  the


               table with manna  which will  give life  to the


               soul?



               The lesson for the church as a whole is total


               separation from the civil power. The lesson to


               the  home  and  to  the  individual  is  complete


               separation from the world. Cling to God; for


               He has the hidden manna. Feed the children


               on  hidden  manna;  for  it  is  well  adapted  to


               supply  every  need.  God  is  teaching  in  these


               words  a  wonderful  lesson  on  the  laws  of


               physical  growth  by  simplicity  of  food;  of


               mental  growth  by  purity  of  food,-food
