The following Is from recent sermon
by the Rev. +. y. Hale, at All Souls
Church, New York:
There Il . house for each one Of US,
whatever his attachments. We are told
that there are many mansions, and the
true meaning Of the text Is tina. each Is
a dwelling place quite distinct from the
other. Whatever we may believe that
heaven or that home 10 be, IL is spirit
ual belief that shapes itself according TO
our own life. Why JesNs himself said
so little concerning our life TO come Is
that to have understood his teachings
would have requireda power 10 grasp
and conceive which is born only Of a
spirit life. What Is the use Of picture
we can not see? No revcaler can reveal
any thing to US who have not the spirit
ual power to apprehend or comprehend.
Jesus reserved what he might have said
until those that heard him should be-
come exercised in the three eternities
faith, hope, and love. lie did not
teach-and in attempting to teach make
that fatal error that teachers Of the
young are making every day--an earth
~ idea Of spiritual being. There are
religious parties to-day that try to make
the idea Of eternity Ineligible by COM
PARSONS and physical illustrations. l
remember teacher who told his young
pupils TO write the figure - one " thous-
ands and thousands Of times upon their
states, and when they got through he
placed the states together and said that
these figures in their incalculable num-
Der conveyed an idea Of the boundless-
ness of eternity. Thenceforth 70 these
children heaven was associated with
these distressing quantities OF pencil
marks on slate.
The heaven that is waiting for us we
are preparing for ourselves now, and
according TO our life here shall we find
our life there-each shall find himself in
his own home. According as love shall
pervade the life on earth 50 love shall
find Us in our mansion in heaven. The
sympathy that fills us here shall fill us
there. Heaven, call it what we may
home, q mansion or garden--will be
as our earthly life shall shape it. Where
any man is to-day in his spiritual life
just there heaven Is ready for him TO-
day. How many children have been
driven away by being told that heaven
lis a perpetual Sunday, when Sunday
was made the most dreadful Of all days
TO them? A school-teacher once told
little boy that in heaven he would meet
Julius Cesar, who would talk to him
about his wars, and Moses, who would
tell him about the march across the
desert, and to the boys mind then
heaven became a place where all his
questions would be answered. One day
his little sister, whom he loved very
dearly, who had been his atfectionate
PLAYMATE. died. His mother came 70
him in his great distress and consoled
him by saying that be would meet her in
heaven. To this little boy heaven then
ceased to be place Of information and
became one of sweet companionship.
Years after, when at school, he devoted
himself to the study of mathematics I;
he came to regard heaven As the place
where all the problems Of space were
solved by an infinite being, whose per-
ceptions were not measured by science,
and so on into various conceptions OF
the hereafter, until IL was finally
brought home to him that heaven was a
world where we shall see rs we are seen
and know as we are known.
