Of heaven, will not the jasmine climb

TO gather lilies" No flowers in heaven
Where, then, do they gst their garlands
for the hrOws OF the righteous?
Christ is giOriOus to our souls now, hut
how much grander our appreciation after

lie comes upon the platform. lie has one
arm in a sling, and the other arm holds
CrutCh. As he mounts the platform, oh,
the enthusiasm Of the audience, They say:
That man fought for us, and imperilled
his life for u.s. and how wild the hullt
that follows huzZt, When the Lord Jesus
Christ shall at last stand out before the
multitudes of the redeemed Of heaven, aud
we meet him face II face, and feel that he
was wounded in the head, and wounded
in the hands, and wounded in the feet, and
wounded in the side Tor us, methinks we
will he overwhelmed. We will ait some
time gazing in silence, until some leader
amidst the whte-rObcd choir shall lit
THE EATON on LIGHT,
and give the signal that it is time TO wake
the song of Jubilee; and all heaven will
then break forth iuiO. "lIOsanna, hOsauna

have been very valuable, or the Govern.
mcnt wOuld not have paid two hundred
thousand dollars for it, ] want to zee
what my sOul Is worth, and what your
soul il worth by seeing what has been
paid lor it. For that immortal soul, the
richest blood that was ever shed, the
dee. est grOan that wa ever uttered all
the gritiI Of earth compressed into one
tear, all the suiltTing7 of earth gathered
into rapitr OF pain and struClS through His
holy heart. Does it not imply trGmen-
dOus value?
argue, also, the value of the sonl from
the home that has been fitted mp for II in
the future Oae would have thought that
a street Of adAmant w"uld have done. No;
il il street OF gold Oae would nave
thought that wall Of granite would have
done No; it is the lame OF sardonyX
mingling with the green OF emerald. Oae
would have thought that IN occasional
duxOlogy would have done No; it Is IL
perpetual song. II the uge. OF heaven
marched in a straight line some day the
last regiment, perhaps, might pas. out OF
sight; but no, the ages of heaven do not
march in u straight line, hut in a circle
around about the throne Of God; forever,
forever, tramp, tramp, 4 soul so houGht,
