GUS and excited souls! If you
would take enough of. it would
cure all your pangs, the thought
that you are going to get through
with this after awhiie-all this
sorrow and all this trouble.
We shall have q great many
grand days in heaven, but L
will tell you which will be the
grandest day of all the million
ages Of heaven. - You say: ) aAre
you sure you can tell me- p Yes,
I can. It will be, the day; we get
there. Some say heaven" is grow
ing more glorious. I suppose. it
is but, + do not care much about
that. Heaven now is good enough
fer me. History has no more
gratulstory scene than the break
ing'in Of the English army upon
Lucknow, India. Afew weeks be-
fore a massacre had occurred at
Cawnpore,' and two hundred and
sixty women and children had
been put in a room, Then fVe
professional butchers went in and
slew them. Then the bodies of the
Slain were taken out and thrown
into we'll. AS the English army
came into Cawnpore they went
into the room and oh, what a
horrid scene'l sword strokes on the
wall near the floor, showing that
the poor things adcrouched when
they died and they: saw also that
the floor was ankle deep sin. blood.
The soldiers walked on their heels
across it, lest their shoes be- SUBJ
merged of the carnage. And on
that floor of blood there were
flowing locks Of hair and frag-
ments of dresses. Out in Luck
now '-.'@a,.:'' . So
THEY HAD HEARD OF THE MAS
sAcRB, .
and the women were waiting for
the same awful death-waiting
amid anguish untold, y waiting
il, pain and starvation, but wait
ing beroieally-when one day
Hayelock, and Outram, and Nor
man, .'and Sir David Baird, and
Peel, the. heroes Of the English
army-hurrah for them !7broke
in on that horrid seene, and while
yet the guns were sounding, and
while cheers were issuing fro m
the starving, dying people on the
one side and from the trayel.Horn
and powder-blaekened soldiers on
the otber-right there, in front
of the Kings palace, there was
such a scene Of handshaking az d
embracing and boisterous joy as
would utterly eon6ouud the pen
of the poet and the pencil Of the
painter. And no wonder, when
These emaciated women, who had
suffered SO heroically for Christ's
sake, marched out from their in
generations. One wounded En-
glish soldier got up in his fatigue
and wounds, and leaned against
the wall and threw up bis cap and
shouted: "Three cheers, my boys,
for the brave womenP'' Oh, that
was en- exciting scene, but a glad
der and more triumphant scene
will it be when youseome up into
heaven from the conflicts and i'm
generations of this world, stream
ing with the wounds of battle and
wan with hunger; and, while the
hosts of God are cheering their
great hosanna, you will strike
hands of congratulation and eter-
nal deEiverance 10 the presence Of
the throne. On that night there
will be .bonf1es on every hill of
heaven, and there will be iliumi-
nation in every palace, and there
viii be a candle in; every window
-ah, no, l forget, I forget-they
will have no need ofthe candle or
of the sun, for the Lord God
giveth them light, and they shall
reign forever and ever. Hail |!
hail l.! sons and daughters Of the
Lord God Almighty z,-.s .-
