Pergamos might from the view point of life seen by Christians be divided into two rival houses, the Church and heathen temple. In that city heathen vice and pleasure had such sway that St. John des cribed it as the very seat of evil So much so that the personification of evil seemed to have his dwelling there.
All magnificence, all popularity, everything that was pleasant and easy, was on the side of evil, When a man left the great temple with its pillars and arches to go to the Christian Church he left all wealth magnificence and pleasant and easy things He took up instead the struggle and battle with evil both inside himself and in the world around him. To leave one house and enter the other meant a renuncia tion of all that the world thought worth while."

To hold fast is no small achieve ment. There are pagans to-day in offices and in society who will hold you up to just the same sort of decision, that these early Christians had to suffer. Let the message to the Church of Pergamos give you comfort. It is a grand thing for Christ to be able to
