the place where the splendors that nave

procession throw down their torches and SET
the heavens on fire. That is the only hour OF
the day when the atmosphere isclear enough
TO let us see the wall of the heavenly city
its twelve manner of precious stones, from
foundation of Jasper to middle strata of sar-
dius and on up 10 the coping of amethyst. Al
that hour, without any of Elisha's supernat-
ural vision, we see horses of fire and chariots
of fire and banners Of fire, and ships OF fire,
seems as If the last confiagration had
begun and there is a world on fire. When
God makes these clouds His chariot let us
all kneel. Another day past what have we
done with it, Another day dead end this is
