Interpreting Revelation by MERR ILL C. TENNEY • Dr. Gerald B.

If he could only remember this instead of contin ually b o w i n g d o w n under the weight of his affliction. After the evening meal was over Tom settled down for a session with his short wave receiver. It was a war surplus set given to him by his uncle several years before and had proved a real source of blessing. He had acquired the knowledge of t r a n s m i t t i n g and receiving and often communicated with other hams all over the world. He had heard everything from first-hand news reports of exciting events to local human-interest stories. He settled in a comfortable chair and adjusted the earphones carefully. He timed in for a few minutes on an English-spoken news broadcast in Moscow. Compassion welled up in his heart at the thought of the thousands of people under oppres sion there, many persecuted for their faith in Christ. After the broadcast was over he changed the dial.
