other VIII return tDmerlllan How
ever much we love our children on
earth we wOuld consider ii a domestic
disaster if they stayed children and 50
we rejoice at their groGth here, And
when we meet in Tie family room Of
our Fathers house, we viii be glad
that they have granlly and g,oTioasly
matured; while our parents who were
aged and intirm here. we shall be
glad to find restored TO the most agile
and vigorous immortality there. II
forty or forty-fve or fifty years be the
apex of physical and mental life on
earth, then the heavenly childhood
will advance 10 that and the heavenly
old age will retreat TO that.
When we Join them in that family
room we shall have much 10 tell them.
We shall want TO know of them right
away such things AS these; Did you
see us in this or that or the other
struggled Did you know when we
lost our property aud sympathlze with
usi Did you know we had that awful
sicknessl Were you lowering any
where around when we plunged into
that memorable accidentl Did you
know Of our backslidingl Did you
know of that moral victoryi Were
you pleased when we started for
heavenl Did you celebrate the hour
of our convcrsioni And then, whether
they know it or not, we will tell them
all. But they will have more to tell
us than we % tell them. Ten years
ON earth may be very eventful, but
what must be the biography Of ten
years in heaveni They will have
to tell us the story OF coro-
nations, story of news from all
immensity, story Of coaquerors and
lierarchs, story of wrecked or ran
somed plaIets, story of angelic victory
over diabolic revolts, Of eytinguished
suns, of obliterated consultations. OF
new galaxies kindleG and swung. OF
stranded comets. of worlds on fire, and
story of Jehovah's majestic reign. II
in that family room of our Fathers
house we have SO much to tell them
of what we have Iassed through since
we parted, how much, more thrilling
and arousing thai which they have t0
tell us of wh1, they have passed
through since We parted. Surely that
family room Will be one Of the most
favored rooms in all our Fathers
house. What long lingering there,
for we shall never again be in a
hurry. let me open a window,
said an humble Christian servant to
Lady Raiilcs, who, because of the
death Of her child, had shut herself
up in dark room and refused TO see
any one; you have been many days
in this dark room. Are you moi
ashamed TO grieve in this manner
when you ought TO be thanking Coo
for having given you the most beauti
ful child that ever was seen. and in
stead of leaving him in this world til
he should be worn with trouble, ha
not God taken him TO heaven in al
his beauty Leave off weeping anC
let me open a window" So today
am trying 10 open upon the darkness,
of earthly separation the windows and
doors and rooms of the heavenly
homestead. In my Fathers house
are many rooms"
IN CONCLUSION.
How would it do for my sermon &c
leave you in that family room today
am sure there is no room in which
you would rather stay than in the en-.
raptured circle of your ascended and
glorifed kinsfolk. We might visit
other rooms in our Fathers house.
There may be picture galleries pencil
ed not with earthly art but by some
process unknown in this world, pre-
serving for the next world the bright.
est and most stupendous scenes of hu,
man history. Aud there may be lines
and forms Of earthly beauty preserved
for heavenly inspection in something
whittier and Chaster and richer than
Venetian sculpture ever wrought
