Bu. l lesve this imperia! and multi
potent numeral seyen, where the Bible
Leaves i, im3etded II the faess wall that
WAS ever built. Or ever wild De construci-
ed, the wall OF heaven. II is tas seven
strata Of precious stones that max
up That wall. After naming SIX
Of the precious stones in that
val the Bible cries out-"the
seventh chrysolite!" The cnrysolite is an
exquisite green, and In that seventh layer
CT the heavenly wall shsli be preserved
forever Inc dominant color Of the earth
we once inhabited. l have sometimes
been saddened at the thought
that this world, according 10
science and revelation, ia to be
blotIed out Of existence, for il Is such s
oesu.iful world. Blu. here In this lsYer
OF the heavenly wall. where the Dumersl
seven is to be imbedded, this strsts OF
green is to be Photographed and
EMBALMeD AND PERPETUATRD,
the color OF the grass thst covers the
earth, the color OF lne folisge that fills the
foresr, the color o; the deep sea. Oae
glance at that green chrysolite, million
years after this plsnet has been extin-
guished, will bring to mind jas. how it
looked in summer and spring, and we
VIII say to those who were BORN blind on
earth. and never SAW at sill IN this worlf,
after they nave obtained full eyesighs in
heaven: "It you would know how the
earth appeared In Juae and August, look
at thst seventh layer Of the heavenly Wall,
the green OF the chrysolite" And while
We Stand there and talk, spirit with
spirit, that old color Of the earth which
hsd more sway than sl the other colors
put together, will bring back to us our
earthly experiences. and noticing th&t
this green chrysolite Is the seventh layer
Of crystalized mag1ifc Ice we may
bethink ourselves of the dun
instion OF thls mineral seven
over al other numerals, and thank God
thst in the d,rk earth we left behind US
we SO long enjoyed the Light
OF the seven golden candle
sticks, and were all Of us permitted
to shine among the seven stsrs Of more or
less magnitude, and that sll the seven
seals Ct the mysterious future have been
broken wide open for US by loving
Christ, and inst the seven thunders hsv-
Ing done their work have ceased rever-
beretion, and that the numeral sever,
which did such tremendous work in the
history of nations on earth, has, been
given such high place in that Niagara
OF colors, the wall Of heaven, "the first
foundation OF which Is jasper, the second
sapphire, the third 8 ehalcedopy. the
fourth an emerald, ths fifth ssrdony X, the
sixth, sardius. the seventh chrysolite"
when shall there eyes thy heaven built wall,
And pearly gales beh Ii;
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
And streets of shining goldH'
