throne Get ticket and carefully guarded you go into the royal factory at Paris where the Gobelin tapestries of tho world arc madc, and sec ho v for years . man will sit putting in and out a ball of colorod worsteds thro igh the delicate threads, sat ished if hc can in day make so much as . fingers breadth of beauty for . kings canopy. But behold how my Lord, in one hour, with Ills two hands, twisted the tapestry, now swung above tho throne into rainbow of infinite glory. 0, what place heaven must be. You have heretofore looked at the floor; this morning take ono glance at the ceiling.
 l noti wha. must be tho feeling of safety among the people of heaven. Have you ever seen cloud burstt There have been days whom 1t rained as II it would never stop You knew if it kept on in that way long all the nations would be drowned, i, yet you had no apprehension, for you re- mombered tho bow Of promise painted on the cloud in Noah's time. So tho glorified have but to look to the arch around the throne Of the King to be roassured that the deluge of trial is forever past
 On earth the deiug, of sin covers the tops of tho highest mountai g. l heard an Al pino guide, amid the most stupendous evi- denccs of Gods power, swear at his mule as he stumbled in the pass. Yes, the deluge Of sin dashes over the top of tho highest mountain ranges. Revenge, drunkenness. impiety, falsehood, blasphemy are but diff ferent waves of flood that has whelmed nations. New York is drowned in it, Brooklyn is drowned in 1t, Bos on is drowned in It. London is dI vned in it, St Peters burg is drowned in l two great hemispheres arc drowned in 1t. But the re- deemed, looking into the rainbow round al out the throne," sec the pledge that all this is ended for them forever They have committed their last sin and committed their last temptation. No suicide leaps into those bright waters; no profanity be. fouls that pure air no villains torch shall fire those temples; no murderer's hand shall strike down those sons of God. They know that for them the delnge of sn is assuaged, for 'there is rainbow round about tho throne"
 Now the W orld is covered with deluge of blood The nations are all the time either using the sword or sharpening It. The factories of the world are night and day manufacturing the weaponry of death. Throne against throne, empire against em pire. Tho spirit of despotism and freedom at war in every land; despotic America against free America despotc Eneland
 
 against free Germany, despotic Austria against free Austria The great battlo of earth is being fought-the Armageddon of the nations, Tho song that unroled from tho sky on the first Christmas night Of Peace and gooi will to men," is drowned in the booming of the great siege guns. Stand back and let the long limo of ambu. lances pass. Groan to groan Uncover and look upon the trenches of tho dead. Blood blood la deluge of blood
 But the redce med of heaven, looking upon tho glorious arch that spans the throne, shali see that the deluge Is over No batteries are planted on those hills; no barricades blocking those streets, no hos tile flag above those walls: no smoke of burning villages; no shrieks of butchered men; but peacel German and French man, who fcll with arms inter locked in hate on the field of death, now, through Christ in heaven, stand with stacked forever; shelts of battle hung up. The dove instead of tho eagle. the lamb instead of the lion. There shall be nothing to hurt or destroy in all God s holy mount, for there Is a rainbow round about the throne
 Now tho earth is covered with delugc of sorrow. Trouble, trcublei Tho very first utterance when we come into tho world Is cry. Without any teaching we learn to weep. What has so wrinklet that man \ facet What has so prematurely whitencd his hairl What calls out that slsh shl N hat starts that tears Trouolel troublel find 1t in tho cellar Of poverty, and far up among the heights on the top Of the crags; for this also hath gone over tho tops Of tho highest mountains. No csc pc from 1t You go into the store, and it meets you at your counting desk; you go into the street. and 1t meets you at tho corner; you go into tho house, and 1t meets you at the door, Tears of poverty tears of persecution, tears of bereavementi-- "a deluge Of tears Gather ed together from all tho earth, they could float an ark larger th m Noah
 But the glorihed. looking up to the bow that spans tho throae shall seq that the deluge is over. No shiveriny wcc ch on the palace step; no blind man at the gate of tho heavenly temple asking for alns: no grinding Of the screw driver lon coffin lid. They look up at the rainbow and read In lines of yellow, and red. and green, and blue, and orange, and iu- digo and violet "Thsy shalt hunger no moro, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in tho midst of tho throne shall feed them and shalt lead them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes" Thank God for the glory spanning the throne,
 In our boyhood we had superstition that at the foot of the rainbow there was a casket ot buried goli but have to an- nounce that at the foot Of this rainb bow of heaven there is a box male out of the wood of tho cross. Open it an you find all the treasures of heaven.
 Q, that our eyes may all look upon this bow of promise, lifted by Christs own hand We shall trace the separate lines of beauty across tho Armament In the line of red shall sec the blood of my Lord in the bluc tho bruises that co lored His check; in tho green the freshness of His grace, in tho olct His humility. in all that curve of beauty the bend of His right arm Of love swung over all the redeemed.
 But mind what told you at the beginning aud what tell you ut the closo-that none but Noah family in tho ark saw the rain. bow and that only those who arc at last in Christ shall discover it amid the giories of heaven
 Except man oe born again he cannot sec tho kingdom of God"
