From that time 1t became subjected to

executed an order which recognized the
freedom of this people, which struck
from their limbs the iron shaekles they
have worn for fifteen years, and pro-
claimed that henoeforth In this, as

shall dominate the military, and Lib

The SwedenbOrgian Belief of
Heaven. ErEE

The New York Sun says: The Rev.
E. R. Keyes preached to the Gospel
number of twelve persons in the Swe-
denborgian Church, at Communipaw
and Crescent Avenues, Jersey City,
Yesterday. 'Rome,n he said, "never
twined wreath of celestial flowers for
Hymen's brow, never chanted q heaven
ly epithalamium, never overshadowed
the nuptial couch with reVerent wings,
never diffused sanctifying power to
exercise the Genii who invade and desc
crate its mysteries. 1t leaves the sweet
est of all human affections in the grave,
where the body perishes, and inscribes
the sentence of everlasting oblivion up
on its mute remains. Professionalism is
corporeal. Hymen is not represented
by it with winged cherubs or hymniDg
seraphs, but with beasts and creeping
things. 1t marries for time, it divorces
for eternity. 1t denounces as carnal
the doctrine of union of two kindred
chastities into one bestitude. 1t is no
church of God. 1t was left for Sweden
borg and the new church to announce
the permaneRce of the sexual charac-
ter. Men and women appear as men
and women in heaven. The same in
effable felicity that exists among lovers
here will continue to exist in heaven.
Those who would unsex the sexes at
death have not duly considered the
sources of ennobling enjoyment that
are thus denied them. People couldn't
endure existence in heaven with sex
abolished. As well might we attempt
to reproduce the sublime strains of
Mozart or Haydn or Beethoven without
the harmonious blending of bass and
soprano and tenor and contralto, or
seek to bring forth from the earth the,
green grass, the blushing flower, or the
fruitful tree without the genial showers
and the fructifying light and heat of
