cities and villages and our religion by
any kind of ideas derived from the brute
animals 1t would be extremely diff
cult, as you see. if we know nothing about
men.
Now, obviously that is the same diff,
Guilty under which the Scripture writers
lie when they explain the spiritual
world, and wht they explain to US the
condition of that third Heaven from
which our Lord came, and from which
angels come to US with rare and occa-
sional visits, with very different bodies
from what exist in this world. If that
visible heaven exists, if that place Of
strange and wonderful manifestation Of
God exists, and if the things that exist
in that place represent to US in certain
way the things that are to take place to
ourselves and our own bodies in the fu-
ture, that we as spiritual beings are to
exist in that renovated condition of this
earth, we have that same sort of difficult
tY, you see, that our supposed informant
would haVe,in describing our plan in the
terms of the mineral or vegetable brute
kingdoms. And we cannot expect to
have any clearer opinions of it than what
we find in Scripture by the use of the
terms that belong to things here, and we
can easily see that when we look back to
this plan as revealed to us in the history
OF the earth it is possible that our future
standard may be precisely of that kind
and that this may be thus obscure to us
because we do not possess the terms and
ideas by which it can be explained
Now l would affirm, therefore that the
possibility of the conditions of a third
heaven ultimately becoming the condi-
tion of the earth is not an unscientific
supposition, but is warranted by what we
know of the past history of the earth,
and the stages through which God has
brought US : but the main practical point
is that | think you should look into the
Scripture testimony in regard to that
heaven, and try to deliver it from that
unscientifc vapor that hangs about it in
popular thinking and speaking; and as
an example of that, and a sad example,
| lay before you the statement of the old
veteran, Strauss, in his last work. He
says "no man having clear conception
in harmony with the present standard of
astronomy can represent to himself q
Deity enthroned in Heaven" Now, as
tronomy shows that God may exert His
power from a great dominant center of
creation wherein his throne may be in

earth itself is said to be HIS footstool
