been scourged, whose eyes have been blinded, whose heart has been wrung will yet rival heaven. This planets torn robe of pain and crime and de- mentia will come of and the white and spotless and glittering robe of holiness and happiness will come on. The last wound will have stung for the last time, the last grief will have wiped its last tear, the last criminal will have repented of his last crime and our world that has been a straggler among worlds, lost star a wayward planet, a rebellious globe, a niscreant satel- lite, will hear the voice that uttered childish plaint in Bethlehem and ago nized prayer in Gethsemane and dying groan on Golgotha, and as this voice cries "Come," our world will return from it's wandering never again to stray. Marching on, marching onl
 THE GLORIOUS FINALITY.
 Then this worlds joy will be so great that other worlds besides heaven may be glad to rejoice with us. By the aid of powerful telescopes, year by year becoming more powerful, mountains in other stars have been discovered and chasms and volcanoes and canals and the style of atmosphere, and this will go on, and mightier and mightier tele- scopes will be invented until I should not wonder if we will be able to ex- change signals with other planets.
 And as I have no doubt other worlds oro ;nh h;%o1 for God xyo,,IJ not horo built such magnificent world houses to have them stand without tenants or oc- cupants, in the final joy of earth's re- demption all astronomy, I think, will take part, we signaling other worlds and they in turn signaling their stellar neighbors. Oh, what day in heaven that will be when the march of Christ Is finishedl I know that on the cross Christ said, Ut is finished" but he meant his sacrificial work was finished. All earth and all heaven knows that evangelization is not finished, but there
 will come day in heaven most raptur- ous.
 It may be after our world, which is thought to have about fifteen hundred million people, shall have on it's decks twice its present population, namely, three thousand million souls and all redeemed, and it will be after this
 world shall be so damaged by confla- grafton that no human foot can tread
 its surface and no human being can
 breathe it's air, but most certainly the
 day will come when heaven will be fin
 ished and the last of the twelve gates
 of the eternal city shall have changed
 shut, never to open except for the ad-
 mission of some celestial embassage re-
 turning from some other world, and
 Christ may strike his scared but healed
 hand in emphasis on the arm of the
 amethystine throne and say in sub
 stance: "All my ransomed ones are
 gathered. The work is done. have
 finished my march through the cen turies." When in 1913, after the battle of Leipsic, which decided the fate of the Nineteenth century, in some respects the most tremendous battle ever fought, the bridge down, the river incarna- dined, the street choked with the wounded, the fields for miles around strewn with dead soldiery from
 whom all traces of humanity had been dashed out, there met in the public square of that city of Leipsic the allied conquerors and kings who had gained the victory-the king of Prussia, the emperor of Russia, the crown prince of Sweden-followed by the chiefs of their armies. With drawn swords these monarchs saluted each other and cheered for the continental victory they had together gained. History has made the scene memorable. Greater and more thrilling will be the spectacle when the world is all con quered for the truth and in front of the palace of heaven the kings and con- querors of all the allied powers of Christian usefulness shall salute each other and recount the struggles by which they gained the triumph and then hand over their swords to him who is the Chief of the conquerers, crying: Thine, oh Christ, is the King dom; take the crown of victory. the
 crown of dominion, the crown of grace the crown of glory" "On his head
 were many crowns"

 River Problems.
 Should the rank of a river be meas
 ured by it's length or by it's average
 volume of water2 is a question on which geographers have apparently failed to
 agree. On the first named principle
 the Mississippi would be only the chief | northern tributary of the Missouri. On | the second, the Mississippi and Missouri
