The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1891-10-07


BE- 40 Instantaneous picture There's
have IL. 1t Is done. You can see the
picture IN It's imperfect state, and get
kome idea Of what II will be when thor
oughly developed There is your resur-
rcctcd body, so brilliant that tho noon
day sun is patch Of midnight com,
pared with it. There Is your soul, 50
pure that all the forces OF diabolism
could not spot 1t with an imperfection.
There Is your being, SO mighty and 80
swift that fight from heaven TO Mer-
curry or Mars or Jupiter and back again
to heaven would not weary you, and
world on each shoulder would not crush
you. An eye that shall never shed q
tear. An energy that shall never feel a
fatigue A brow that shall never throb
with pain. You are young again, though
you died Of decrepitude You are well
again, though you cough or shivered
yourself into the tomb. Your every
day associates are the apostles and
prophets, and martys, and most exalted
souls, masculine and feminine Of all
the centuries. The archangel to you no
embarrassment God himself your pres
ent and everlasting Joy. That is an
instantaneous picture Of what you may
be, and what an sure some of you
will be. If you realize that it is an inn
perfect picture, my apology is what the
Apostle John SAID: 1T doth not yet
appear what we shall be-" ITO this end
was born If | did not think so I
would be overwhelmed with melan-
choly. The world does very well for
little while, eighty, or hundred or
hundred and fifty years, and 1 think
that human longevity may yet be i'm
proved up to that prolongation, for
now there is so little room between
our cradle and our grave we can not
accomplish much, but who would
| want TO dwell In this world for all eter-
nityl Some think this earth will finally
be turned into heaven. Perhaps 1t may,
butt would have to undergo radical re-
pairs, and through eliminations and
evolutions and revolutions and trans
formations infinite, to make 1t de esirable
for eternal residence. All the east
| winds would have TO become west winds,
and all the winters changed to spring
tides, and the volcanoes extinguished,
and the oceans chained to their beds,
and the epidemics forbidden entrance,
and the world 80 fixed up that think
II would take more to repair this old
world than to make an entirely new
one But must say do not care
where Heaven is II we can only get
there, whether a gardenized America,
or an emparadised Europe, or world
central TO the whole universe. "To
this end was born" II each one OF
us could say that, we would go with
faces shining and hopes exhilerant amid
earth's worst misfortunes and trials.
Only little while and then the rapture.
Only little while and then the reunion.
Only little while, and then the trans
| hguration.
In the seventeenth century all Europe
was threatened with a wave of Asiatic
barbarian, aud Vienna was especially
besieged The king and his court had
fed, and nothing could save the city
from being overwhelmed unless the lfine
ofPoland, John Sobiesli. TO whom they
had sent for help, should with his army
come down for the relief, and from
every roof and tower tho inhabitants o
Vienna watched and waited and hope,
until on the morning OF September
| a. .f.t...- e.... 4kxo., - ,,u,,.,,o1 -,
unparalleled brilliancy. II was the re
Election Of the swords and shields ant
helmets of John Sobiesld and his arm,
coming down over the hills TO the res
cue, and that day, not only Vienna, bu
Europe, was saved. And see you not
oh ye souls, besieged with sin and sor
row, that light breaks in the sword
and the shields and the helmets Of di
vine rescue bathed In the rising sun o
heavenly deliveranoe? Let everything
else 20 rather than let heaven 60 Wha
q strange thing It must be TO feel one
self born TO an earthly crown, but yol
have been born for throne on whicl
you may reign after the last monarcl
OF all the earth shall have gone to dust
I invite you to start now for your owi
coronation, TO come in and take thu
title deeds to your everlasting inheri
tance Through an impassioned praye
take Heaven and all Of its raptures
What poor farthing Is all that thi
world can offer you compared with par
don here and life immortal beyond tn,
stars unless this side Of them there b,
place large enough and beautiful an,
grand enough for all the ransomed
Wherever it be, in what world, whethe
near by or far away, in this or SOM
other constellation, hail home Of ligh
and love and blesscdnessl Through In,
