near. know that many of the clouds that
you see in summer are far off, the bases of
some of them five miles above the earth.
High on the highest peaks of the Andes trav-
elers have seen clouds far higher than where
they were standing Gay Lussac, after he
had risen in balloon %, 900 feet, still saw
clouds above him.
But there are clouds that touch the earth
and discharge their rain, and, though the
clouds out of which Gods chariot is made
may sometimes be far away, often they are
close by, and they touch our shoulders, and
they touch our homes, and they touch us all
over. have read of two rides that the Lord
took in two different chariots of clouds, and
of another that He will take. One day, in a
chariot of clouds that were mingling offog
and smoke and, fire, God drove down to the
top OF a terrible crag 1900 feet high, now
called Jebel-Musa, then called Mount Sinai,
and he stepped out of his chariot among the
split shevings of rock. Themountain shook
as with an ague, and there were 10 volleys of
thunder, each of the 10 emphasizing a tire
mendous thou shalt, !" or ssthou shalt not"
Then the Lord resumed his chariot of cloud
and drove up the hills of heaven. They were
dark and portentous clouds that made that
chariot at the giving of the law. But one
day he took another ride, and this time down
to Mount Tabor, the clouds out of which his
chariot was made bright clouds, roseate
clouds, illumined clouds, and music rained
from all of them, and the music was a ming
ling OF carol and chant and triumphalmarch:
This is my beloved son in whom | am well
pleased" TRANSPORTATION chariotl
ssOh say hundreds Of you, ssI wish could
have seen those chariots-the black one that
brought the Lord to Jebel-Musa at the Civ
ing of the law, and the white one that
brought Him down to Tabor" Never mind,
you will see something grander than that,
and it will be a mightier mingling of the
sombre and the radiant, and the pomD of it
will be such that the chariots in which Ira
jan, and Diocletian, aud Xenob ia, and Cesar,
and Alexander, and all the conquerors OF all
the ages rode will be unworthy of mention;
and what stirs me the most is that when He

He will ask you and me to ride with Him
both ways. How do know that the judg-
ment chariot will be made out of clouds?
Revelation I, T: Behold He cometh with
clouds" Oh, He will not then ride through
the heavens alone as He does now. He is
going to bring along with Him escort
of ten full regiments. Inspirations says:
Behold the Lord cometh with ten
thousand of his saints" But these
figures simply mean that there will be great
throng. And as we shall probably through
the atonement of Christ be in heaven before
that, / hope that we can come down in that
escort ofchariot. Christin the center chariot,
but chariot's before Him to clear the way !,
and chariots behind Him, and chariots on
either side of Him. Perhaps the prophets and
patriarchs of the old dispensation may ride
ahead each one NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
Moses and Ezekiel and David and Joshua,
who foretold his first coming. On either side
of the central chariot apostles and martyrs
who in the same or approximate centuriesI
suffered for Him-Paul, Stephen and Ignal
titus and Polycarp and Justin Martyr and
multitudes who went up in chariot of fire
now coming in chariot of cloud, while in
the rear of the central chariot shall be the
multitudes of later days and of our
own time who have tried to serve the Lord,
ourselves, | hope, among them. Behold
the Lord cometh with 10 900 of His saints. !"
Yes, although all unworthy of such eompan-
ionship, we want to come with Him on that
day to see the last of this old world which
was once our residence. Coming through
the skies myraids of chariots rolling on and
rolling down By that time how changed
this world will be. It's deserts all flowers,
it's rocks all messed and linchened, it's poor
houses all palaces. It's SORROWS all joys, it's
sins all virtues, are in the same pasture field
lion and calf, and on the same perch hawk
and dove. Now the chariots of cloud strike
the earth, filing all the valleys, and cover
ing all the mountain sides, and halting
i'll all the cemeteries and graveyards and
over the waters deep where the dead sleep
in coral sarcophagus. A loud blast of the
of the dead rise and join the spirits from
which they have long been separated. Then
Christ our King, rising in the center chariot
of cloud, with his SCARED hands waves the
signal, and the chariots wheel and come
into line for glorious ascent. Drive onl
Drive upl Chariots of cloud ahead of the
King, chariots of cloud on either side of the
King, chariots of clouds following the King.
Upward and apast starry hosts, and through
immensities, and across infnitudes, higher,
higher, higher, unto the gates, the shining
gates. Lift up your heads, we Everlasting
Gates, for Him who maketh the clouds His
chariot, and who through condescending and
uplifting grace invites us to mount and ride
with HimI
