WALK ovER THE ESTATE.
You cannot see large estate In one
morning. You must take several walks
around it. The family property Of this
royal house Of Jesus is 30 great that we
must take several walks to get any idea Of
its extent. Let the first walk DO around
this earth. All these valleys. the harvests
that wave ia them and the cattle that pas
ture them-all these mountains and the
precious things hidden beneath them, and
the crown OF glacier they cast at the feet
OF the Alpine hurricane-all these lakes.
these islands, these continents, are ours
In the second walk 20 among the street
lamps o! heaven, and see stretching of on
every side wilderness Of worlds For Us
they shine. For US they sang at Say
iour's nativity For US they will wheel
into line and with their flaming torches
add TO the splendor of our triumph on the
day for which all other days were made.
In the third walk 20 around the Eternal
City. As we come near IL, bark To the
rush Of It's chariots ard the wedding peal
! Of its great towers. The bell Of heaven has
struck twelve. IL Is high noon. We look
of upon the chaplets which never fade, the
eyes that never weep, the temples that
never close, the loved ones that never part.
the procession that never halts, the trees
that never wither. the walls that never can
be captured, the sun that never sets, until
We can no longer gaze, and we hide our
| eyes and excldm, Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him. As
these tides Of glory rise we have to retreat
and hold fast lest we be swept OF and
| drowned In the emotions Of gladness and
thanksgiving and triumph.
What think you Of the family property
1t is considered an honor to marry into
family where there is great wealth. The
Lord, the bridegroom OF earth and heaven,
offers you his heart and his hand, sayirg

brook. You thrashed the orchard for ap-

and everything around the old homestead
is of interest 70 you. tell you OF the cid
homestead Of eternity. In my Fathers

OF mansions we think OF Chstsworth and

Canova and Thorwaldsen; OF the kings and

halls, or, flying over the heather. have

places Of dukes and princes and queens are
as nothing 10 the family mansion that is

I the Lord Jesus lifted the pillars and swung

walk there. and the good OF all ages. The
poorest man in that house Is "a millionaire,
