What and Where is Aeayen-and 9th
er Reflections.

Extract from a Sermon by the Rer E. z. adams Pas
tor Of North Broad Street Presbyterian Church, Phd.
The preacher read the whole of the 18th
chapter of Second Corinthians, of which
verses 2, 3, and constituted his tezt, COM
menting as he proceeded. These exposi-
tory introductory readings, when done with
ability, constitute most profitable and i'm
portant part of divine services, aRd SHOULD
be generally adopted. The words of his
text proper were as follows:
Il knew a man above fourteen years ago, whether
in the body tell; whether oRt Of the body
cannot tell; God knoweth: such an one caught up TO
the third heaven. And knew such man, whether
in the body, or out of the body, cannot tell; God
knoweth: how that he caught up into Paradise,
and heard unspeakGble words, which it is not lawful
for man to utter
Mr.. Adams, in commencing, said he
hoped there would be something practicable
in his sermon, though there would be in it
some speculation. His purpose in select
ing this theme was to consider the abode
Of holiness IN the future life, and the obti-
gations phich 1t suggested to the mind Of
Christians.
The 6rst division of his subject vas the
following interrogatory,
WHAT AND WHERE Is HEAVEN!
In answering this, he said it could not
be denied that our ideas in this matter were
extremely vague. There was nothing fixed
in its contemplation it was stretched out
before the spiritual eye like lovely land
scape, overshadowed by mist Of glory.
This much, however, he held to be demons
trable: that heaven was not merely state,
but place. In the philosophy ofthe Jews
there had been three heavens-to which
Paul had probably reference in the text,
The first was the surrounding atmosphere,
in which birds fly; the second was the sid
ereal heavens, the region of the stars and
the third was the heaven of heavens, the
abode of the Eternal Paradise and the
third heaven were the same, the heaven
where Jesus had aseendea FROM the cross
That it was locality, was established by
the word of the Saviour to His disciples
Il go to prepare place for you,' &c.
Again, the speaker argued that heav
en- vas q locality necessarily, from the fac
that its inhabitants are to have bodies
He held, moreover, that the soul IN 1t
disembodied state, even before the resurrec
tion, could not be contemplated in ute
and complete isolation from matter. Som
persons, he knew, were startled at the ide
