ACTIVITY IN HEAVEN.

Because heaven is a place Of rest, lt does rot follow that is place of idle In- activity. Like the Sabbath, wh ich is it's type, it will be state of such rest as IS consistent wilh a.tire worihiP.

No sooner do slved spirits breath the atmosphere of heaven. than they fly of on errandS Of love-" ministering angels" to all who need their minis;ering officers. How sublmely did Dr. Bacchcr discourse on this theme to his pupils. Hear him :--
