have now attained TO that which they SO
much desired while they we're still among
US, and yet for which they sometimes have
scarcely dared to hope. They have fought
the good fight, and have won the victory
They have seen the bcAtific vision Of
God. They have beheld the glori,
fled Redeemer. They have gazed upon
the pearly gates and towering walls of the
New Jerusalem. They have walked its
golden eets,and drunk Ofthe river Of lie
and eaten Of the fruit Of the trees upon its
banks. The have mingled with the an.

multitude Of redeemed men who surround

One of the joys Of that better world is
the reunion oil friends who for the time
have been separated by death. It Is, per.

too daring an imagination attempt to pic

We not sing Of being borne on angels

race who enter the New Jerusalem. Can
