guess where man came from. You say: |
''That is Frenchman; that is NOrwe-
gianS that is an American" But the gates /
that gather in the righteous will bring
them in irrespective of nationality. For
eigners sometimes get homesick Some OF
tendereSt and most pathetic sto- |
who left their native cline and longed for |
it until they died But the Swiss coming
to the high residence of heaven, will not |
long any more for the Alps standing in
the eternal hills. The Russians will not |
long any more for the luNuriant harvest |
fields he left, now that he hears the hum
and rustic Of the harveStS of everlasting |
light. The royal ones from earth will not |
long to 90 back again to that earthly court, |
now that they stand in the palaces of the |
sun. Those who once lived among the |
groves of spices and oranges will not long !
to return, now that they stand under the |
trees OF life that bear twelve manner of
fruit.
While Ispeak
AN EVER INCREASING THRONG
is passing through the gates. They are
going up from Seneglmbil, from Patago-
MIA. from Madras, from Hong Kong. !

who die in China and India, the vast ma |
iOrity ofthosc who die in Africa, ~ straight |

Once more | want TO show You
THE GATE-KEErER.
There is one angel ut each one of these
gates. You say that is Iiglt. i,tcpursc
il l. ,lul know that no earthly palace,
or caStlS, or fortress, would hc safe without
4 sentry pacing up and down by night and
hy day; and if there were no dciriLScS be-
fore heaven. and the doors set wide open
with no one to guard them, all the vicious
ofcarth would go up after awhile, and aIl
the abandoned of hell would 20 up after
awhile; and heaven, instead Of being Il
world of light and JOY, and peace and
hlcSSedncSs would be world Of darkness
and EuITar 81, :,m glad th toll yon that
while these twelve gates stand open To let
a nrclt multitude in, there rarc twelve
angels to keep some people out. RobcS-
picrrc cannot 20 through there, nor Hide
brand, nor Nero, nor any of the dcbauchcd
of earth who have not repeated of their

thieves, and liars and whOrcmOngcrs, and

If a miscr should get i'll there. he would

washed, and prayer-lipped will get through.
