shall we Know Our Friends in
Hpnyens

Under the above caption Rev. DR.. Guy.
Ter, OF Brooklyn, contributed an article
for the New York Independent, from which
the folio wing is a noticeable extract. He
says:
Put now together these two facts: (l)
personal identity is not Lost In eternity,
(2) memory remains also unimpaired.
Itiollows inevitably that we shall know
each other in heaven. When David cried
out over his dead boy, " 1 shall go to him,
but. he shall not return to mel" that Der.
eaved father expected to meet again the
child whose spirit had flown home to God.
Certainly we shall not be more stupid 10
heaven than we are on earth. ii l could
recognize such aperson as Chalmers. in
his pulpit, | cannot fail to recognize that
same servant of God in his celestial ap.
parreling. Martin Luther, in his stable
Talks makes much OF this intercourse
with father and mother and kindred in
the heavenly home. Sharp, uDpoetlc old
Doctor Emmous used to say: hope
to have some talks with the Apostle Paul
In heaven" And who Of US would not
experience n fearful shock, even amid the
hallelujah raptures OF Paradise, II the
aweet affections Of kinship were to be oh.
liberated forever Surely, God would not
go punish those whom he loves 10 bless.
That infants will be doomed to the ev.
erlasting weakness and helplessness aud
ignorance Of infancy seems, to my mind,
impossible. No mother would ever want
to see her darling babe stunted to an IN.
changed babyhood even here. II would
become n pitiable monstrosity. Half the
charm Of childhood is lie constant growth;
It's delightful openings, like the rosebud,
to new thought and development. The
idea OF Al undeyeloped infanny in hea.
ven would be almost alibel on the Gre.
atotl Mydarling boy will be mont the
less my own child In the Fathers
House " because like another child at
NaLareth) he has increased 10 stature and
knowledge, and 10 favor with God and
man. That / shall know him there-if
Gods rich grace doth bring nj there-l
have no more doubt OF than I have Of the
exiatence Of a heavenly rest.

Cramps.

The most terrible pains arise from the
veins being SO full OF blood that they
swell out, press against the large nerves,
and thus impede the circulation OF the.
vital fluid. In smaller nerves the dis.
tension produces neuralgia, which is lit.

unusual fulness Of the veins ia, that the

this abnormal state Is indicated by the
feebleness Of the. pulse. In cholera pa

keep your mouth ehutP You can rub

it saves the sufferer from meaningless
and agoniring inquiries. Aman il pain
does not want to be talked to-he wants
relief, not words. II all could know as
physicians do the inestimable value Of
quiet composure, and the confident air
on the part Of one who attempts to aid a
sufferer, It would be prscticed with
ceaseless assiduity by the considerable and
