Mr.. Moody ON Heaven.

Mr.. Moody said there were many who
thought il mere Improbable speculation to
talk about heaven but he believed that if
the Lord hadn't wanted us to know about
| it hs wouldn't have told us so much about
it. All Scripture is given for instruc-
iiou. and think as God has taken pains to
give us so much information about heaven,
we ought to take pains to learn what the
Scripture says. Thr trouble is not with the
Bible; that is all plain. There would be no
trouble if people would turn to it and read
We all know this earth is not our home. A
few days months or years will pass and We
will all be gone. Where shall we 90
Where shall we spend eternity If you were
all going to move to distant county and
had Just come from there, how eagerly you
would listen to every word about its climate,
its advantages and disadvantages, the com
pauions You were to have there and every
other detail. Now I've come to-day to tell
you something about the world where We
expect to spend eternity, for find all men
expect il some way 10 90 to heaven. Heaven
is above. In Deuteronomy XVI: 10 we
read, :" Look do,cn from thy holy habita
ton" And elsewhere we read that the
angels went up, and that Christ came down
from heaven. 1t is a particular locality.
The idea that we are just going as disem
bodied spirits into space is not according 10
Scripture. Christ told his disciples he was
going TO prepare place Tor them. | believe
it is IA locality as much as Hartford is.
Heaven is Gods dwellng-place. God is
everywhere as "A spirit, but lie is also a per-
sou and has a throne and dwelling-place.
Christ taught his disciples to pray, Our
Father who art in Heaven We don't
know how far away it is, but it is not so far
but that God hears our prayers. While
Daniel was praying the angel Gabriel came
down from heaven. Ii we knew how long
Daniel prayed and how fast Gabriel flew
we could tell the exact distance. Heaven
isn't as far off as we are apt to think. Whom
shall we find thereP God the Father dwell
leth there, and ii we get there wen see the
Father who gave his Son for us. | us tu
think Christ the only one | would care to
see. But since became II father, it seems
to me it required more love for the Father
TO give his Sou than for the Son to die
Christ is also there. The dying Stephen,
the first martyr, was enabled to look into
heaven and there he saw Jesus standing on
the right hand of God. Ii we get TO heaven
ven see Christ aud one glimpse at him
would be reward enough for a lie in his SER
vice. 1t isn't the jasper walls, or peary
gates, or golden streets that make heaven
attractive. What makes home attractive
Is it the tiue house. the lovely pictures. or
choice furniture No. it's the loved ones
there aud that's what will make heaven SO
attractive Mr. Moody told of little child
who was taken away from home while its
mother was dying and which on being taken
back went through the house calling for its
mother, AID not finding her wanted TO be
taken away again home had lost its beauty.
And so heaven would be without Christ.

The Chief and the Pledge.

A very rare and uncommon incident oc.
Cured at the late calnp-meeting at Petoskey,
Mich. 1t was at the close of the last three
meetings, held on the day allotted to the
subject OF temperance. Au Irish lady, beau

and talents to the temperance work, was iu-
viting all who would to sign the pledge and
permit her to tie on the red ribbon. The
night was one of extreme beauty, the har-
vest moon shed its sihery light upon those
assembled beneath the shelter OF Gods own
canopy who had come up there amid the
stiffness of the forest to worship him. The
air was echoing the last strains of " llo ! my
comrades" and the atmosphere was laden
with prayers, when through the centre aisle
an aged chiet was led 10y two of his tribe.

Two IIeresies.

There are two kinds of heresy The one
consists III denying the doctrines OF the Cos
pei The other heresy, while loudly pro-
claiming belief in the doctrines, yet Hces
as though they were all fiction. The one
heresy denies the divinity of the Lord Jesus
Christ. The other repudiates this denial,
but pays no regard to his commands; prac.
ically makes him OF less account than the
dictates OF fashion, of the neighbor~. The
one heresy denies the inspiration OF the
Scriptures; the other believes in the insp-
ration, but pays less regard to the Scriptures
than to the daily paper, the latest novel.
The one rejects the doctrine of future pun
ishment; the other abhors such rejection,
prides itself on belief in endless punish
ment, yet lives as though punishment was II
liable, suffers men to 90 on unwarued, yet
all the while believing that at death they
plunge into gulf of remorseless woe The
one denies the immortality OF the soul the
other Processes belief in the Immortality,
yet heaps up wealth, grasps after power, a,
though this world were all, as though there
Were no hereafter. Which of these two
heresies is the worse, We Will not now un-
dertake to decide. National Bdptist.
