Heavens Attraction.

We were at & railroad depot the other
day. AS the train came in full of pas
sengers, man on the platform looked
anxiously into every passing car.
There were some sweet faces of matrons
and maidens. But none of them seemed
to interest that man. His eyes wander
ed still from window to window, with
a strange and hungry look. At length
plain pale face appeared. Instantly
a smile of recognition and of joy light
ed up his features. His anxiety passed
away like summer cloud and ali was
sunshine. He found the face he was
looking for. He was happy at last, for
she had come. She was not as beautiful
as many of the people around her; but
she was his wife, the light of his home.
1t had been lonely there while she was
away. Now it would be bright again,
for she had. come. That one face, that
familiar face which had no special at
traction for any one else, was all he
sought or cared for in the crowd
witnessing the scene, we thought of
the Christians entrance into heaven.
There will be noble forms there of cher
ubim and seraphim. There will be
shining faces of saints and angels.
There will be men and women of whom
we have read on earth, and have often
wished that we could see. Adam will be
there, and Noah, David and Isaiah.
Yet we will not care to see them then.
We will look first of all, and it may be
more anxiously, for one face; for the
face of our Beloved; for the face so
marred; for the face that was buffetted
and spit upon, and that yet is to us the
only face that lights up heaven and
makes it home. Oh, when the re-
deemed meets the eyes of his Redeemer,
when he grasps the hand that was nailed
for him on the cross, he will know that
he is indeed in heaven, for Christ makes
it known to him. Without Christ he
would languish and pine within the jas
per wall and among the trees of life.
With Christ the dreariest desert would
become a paradise of plenty, beauty,
and joy. We may test our hope of
heaven by considering whom we want
to see in heaven.-The Occident.
