know very well that our Joy in any cir
cumstance Is augmented by the COM
panionship of our friend. We can not
see picture with less than four eyes,
or hear a song with less than four ears
We want some one beside US with whom

and tsuppose ths Joy of Heaven is to be
augmented by the fact that we are to
have our friends with US when there
rise before US the thrones OF the blessed.

Evans. the Scotch minister, was seated
in his study. his wife came in and said
TO him: MY dear. do you think we
will know each other in Heaven?' He

Again. adopt this theory because
there are features of moral tempera
ment and features of the soulsthat will
distinguish us forever. How do W.
know each other in this world? Is i
merely by the color of the eye. or tn,
length of the hair, or the facial proper
tons? o, no. 1t is by the disposition
as we'll, by natural affinity, using tn,
word in the very best sense and not il
the bad sense. and if in the dust on
body should perish and lie there for
ever and there should be no resurrec
ton, still the soul has enough feature
and the disposition has enough feature
to make us distinguishable.
Again: l think that one reason VIII,
we ought to accept this doctrine is be

opportunity to give thanks to those t.
whom we are spiritually indebted. Tn,
