HEAVEN

Is a place of the most exhalted
happiness. We care not whether it
be ian eternal Sabbath of Psalm
singing" or place of green fields
and gentle breezes and sparkling
streams where the weary may rest
without thought of care and wan
der through its beauties and drink
in its Joys. We have Gods word
for it, that it is place of such hap
piness that no words can describe 1t
Ga far exceeding and eternal
weight of glory" Now reader we
have Gods word for another thing.
"No drunkard shall enter the king
dom of heaven It's fearful to
think of sixty thousand souls yearly
called to their last account with thi'
curse upon them. And do chris
tians, in the spirit of the Master, go
out to seek and to save these poor
lost drunkard 7 No. The church
is asleep and while she sleeps the
enemy is sowing seed which bring
forth abundant harvests Of bitter
fruit. A soul lost is no light thing.
Christ gave his life for it. He en-
dured agony and shame to save it,
If lost it is shut out from His pres
ence forever-lost at is fearful
thing to fall into the hands of the
living God" DO you believe the
Bible Do you believe the man
who dies a drunkard will be lost 7
Do you expect to be saved 7 Are
you trying to save the drunkard
too ? Oh, reader, if you really be-
ioved that heaven and hell were
whqt the Bible tells us they are,
would you esteem wealth SO highly
and the salvation of immortal souls
so lightly The early christians
were ready to become as the "tilsh
and ofscouring of earth" to give up
home and even life itself for the
maintenance of our religion, while
to>day if man interests himself in
his race he is "a philanthropist,' "a
man Of exhalted piety.' If broth
err or sister comes to the Lodge reg
ularly they deserve a great>deal Of
credit They deserve no credit
They are only doing that which it
would be sin to leave undone. The
salvation of souls ought to be our
first concern. If we only beIiered
the Bible. f we only trusted God.
