the battle of Musselburgh, a private soldier,
seeing that the Earl of Huntley had lost his
helmet, took off his own helmet and put it
upon the head of the earl; and the head of
the private soldier uncovered, he was soon
slain, while his commander rode safely out
of the battle. But in our case, instead OF
private soldier Offering helmet to an earl, it
is a King putting His crown upon an I'M
worthy subject, the King dying that we
might live Tell it to all points of the COM
pass. Tell it to night and day. Tell it to
all earth and heaven. Tell it to all centu-
ries. all ages, all millenniums, that we have
such a magnificent chance in this world
that we need no other chance in the next.
A DREAM.
[ am in the FURNISHED judgment hall of
the last day. A great white throne is
lifted, but the Judge has not yet taken it.
While we are waiting for His arrival hear
immortal spirits in conversation: ''What
are you waiting here for?" says SOU that
went up from Madagascar to soul that
assembled from America. The latter says:
Il came from America, where forty years
l heard the Gospel preached and Bible read,
and from the prayer [ learned in infancy
at my mothers knee until my last hour
had Gospel advantages, but for some reason
did not make the Christian choice, and [
am here waiting for the Judge to give me
new trial and another chance"
'.Snange," says the other, 81 had but one
Gospel call in Madagascar, and L accepted
it, and l do not need another chance"
''Why are you here?" says one, who on
earth had feeblest intellect, to one who had
great brain and silvery tongue and sceptres
of influence. The latter responds: 'Oh,
I knew more than my fellows | mastered
Ebroria on6 haA lQalnaH tiflQc from aol-
leges, and my name was a synonym for
eloauence and power And yet neglected
my soul, and I am here waiting for a new
trial." stranger says the one of the
feeble earthly capacity; Il knew but little
of worldly knowledge, but | knew Christ
and made him my partner, and l have no
need of another chance" Now the ground
trembles with the approaching chariot.
The great folding doors of the hall swing
open.
''sTAND BAcKr'
cry the celestial ushers. ''Stand back and
let the Judge of the quick and dead pass
through" He takes the throne, and, look
ing over the throng of nations, he says:
''Come to Judgment, the last judgment, the
only Judgment" By one flash from the
throne all the history of each one flames
forth to the vision of himself and all others.
''Divide!" says the Judge to the assembly.
''Divide!' echo the walls. ''Dividep' cry
the guards angelic. And now the immor-
tails separate. rushing this way and that,
and after while there is a great aisle be-
tween them and great vacuum widening
and widening, and the Judge turning to the
throng on one side says: ''He that is right
eous let him be righteous still. and he that
is holy let him be holy still;" and then turn
ing toward the throng on the opposite side,
He says: ''He that is unjust let him be un-
just still, and he that is filthy let him be
filthy STILL" and then lifting one hand
toward each group, He declares: ''If the
tree fall toward the south or toward the
north. in the place where the tree falleth
there it shall be-" And then hear some
thing jar with great sound. 1t is the
closing of the book of Judgment. The
Judge ascends the stairs behind the throne.
The hall of the last assiZe is cleared and
shut The high court of eternity adjourned
| forever
