we shall, will ask him to introduce me to
those people who got him out of the Damas-
Gene peril.
We go into long sermons to prove that we
will be able to recognize people in Heaven,
when there is one reason we fail to pre-
sent, and that is better than all-God will
introduce US. We shall have them all
pointed out. You would not be guilty of
the impoliteness Of having friends in your
parlor not introduced and celestial polite
ness will demand that we be made ac-
quainted with all the heavenly household.
What rehearsing of old times and recital
of stirring "reminiscences. II others fail
to give introduction God will take us
through, and before our first twenty-four
hours in Heaven-f 1t were calculated by
earthly timepieces-haye passed, we shall
meet and talk with more heavenly celebri-
ties than in our entire mortal state we met
with earthly celebrities. Many who made
great noise of usefulness will sit on the
last seat by the front door of the heavenly
temple, while right up within arms reach
Of the heavenly throne will be many who,
though they could not preach themselves
or do great exploits for God, nevertheless
held the rope.
Come, let us go right up and accost those
on this circle of heavenly thrones. Surely,
they must have killed in battle million
of men. Surely they must have been
buried with all the cathedrals sounding
dirge and all the towers of all the cities
tolling the national grief. Who art thou,
mighty one of Heaven: 81 lived by choice
the unmarried daughter in an humble
home that l might take care of my parents
in my old age, and l endured without
complaints all their querulousness and
administered to all their wants for twenty
years."
Let us pass on round the circle of thrones.
Who art thou, mighty one of Heaven: II
was for thirty years a Christian invalid,
and suffered all the while, occasionally
writing note of sympathy for those worse
off than /, and was general cOnfidant of all
those who had trouble, and once in a while
l was strong enough to make a garment
for that poor family in the back lane"
Pass on to another throne. Who art thou,
mighty one of Heaven! 81 was the mother
who raised a whole family of children for
God and they are out in the world Christ
ian merchants, Christian mechanics,
ward of all my toll" Let us pass ON in
the circle of thrones. Il had Sabbath
school class, and they We're always on my
heart, and they all entered the kingdom Of
God, and am waiting for their arrival"
But who art thou, the mighty one Of
Heaven, Oh this other throne. SIN time Of
bitter persecution l owned a house in
Damascus. a house On the wall. A man
.I,a1 .tz.t Il fynr,
street to street. and hid him from the as
sassins and when fouad them breaking
in my house and l co;.!d no longer keep
him safely, advised Lin to fee for his
life, and basket was let down over the
wall with the maltreated man in it. and 1
was one who helped hold the rope" And
l said: "Is that ALL" and he answered,
''That is ALL"
And while l was lost in amaZement
heard strong voice that sounded as
though it might once have been hoarse
from many exposures and triumphant as
though it might have belonged to one of
the martyrs, and it said: mot many
mighty, not many noble are called, but
God hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are
mighty, and base things of the world and
things which are despised hath God
chosen; yea, and things which are not to
bring to naught things which are, that no
flesh should glory in His presence" And
looked to see from whence the voice
came, and 10! it was the very one who had
said: Through a window, in a basket,
was let down by the wall"
Henceforth think of nothing as insignifi-
cant. A little thing may decide your all.
A Cunarder put out from England to New
York. 1t was well equipped, but in put
ting up a stove in the pilot box nail was
driven too near the compass. The ships
officer, deceived by that distracted COM
pass, put the ship 2O9 miles off her right
course, and suddenly the man on the look
out cried: Gland no" and the ship was
halted within few yards of her demoli-
ton on Nantucket shoals. A sixpenny nail
came near wrecking Cunarder. Small
ropes hold mighty destinies. A minister
seated in Boston at his table, lacking
word puts his hand behind his head and
tits back his chair to think, and the ceiling
falls and brushes the table and would have
crushed him. A minister in Jamaica at
night by the light of an insect, called the
candle fly, is kept from stepping over a
precipice hundred feet. F. W. Robert
son, the celebrated English clergyman,
said that he entered the ministry from a
train of circumstances started by the bark
ing of dog. Had the wind blown one
way on certain day, the Spanish inqui-
sition would been established in England;
but it blew the other way, and that dropped
the accursed institution with ID, 200 tons of
shipping to the bottom of the sea, or flung
the splintered logs on the rocks. Nothing
unimportant in your life or mine. Three
naughts placed on the right side of the
figure one makes a thousand, and six
noughts on the right side of the figure one,
one million, and our nothingness placed on
the right side may be augmentation illim-
liable. All the ages of time and eternity
affected by the basket let down from a
Damascus balcony.
An Extraordinary Suicide.
