no right thus to injure her own citizens.

no more deadly foe than immunity to

The Lord has saved up the details
about the next world until we get there, to
make surprises of them, so that heaven
might be all the brighter because ii so in
iuitily exceeds anything that we had con-
ceved. We are not told, for instance,
where heaven is. We are not told any
thing even about the social communion of
heaven We do know, or at least We think
we have abundant reason for believing, that
saints know each other, that they are not
like men in great mass, indistinct and
undistinguishable, but that there is fellow
ship among the saints, that Abraham is
Abraham, and Isaac is Isaac, and Jacob is
Jacob, and the redeemed ones from among
men sit down with Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, as such in the kingdom Of God.
The New Jerusalem is said TO have its
streets, and streets imply intercourse, but
there is little about that--just an outline,
as it were, such as an artist might make
with charcoal--none of the filling up and
the bright colors. OF all these things VIC
should like TO have known something, but
our heads cannot hold mueh.-SPnrgeoR.
