fore this half hour Of heavenly silence
breaks M. for in your mortal state you can
not endure the pomD and splendor and
resonance when this half hour of silence is
ended. The day will come when sou can
see heaven in full blast, but not now. am
now only showing you heaven at the dullest
half hour Of all the eternities. Come on
There is something In the celestial appear
ance which makes me think that. the half
hour of silence will soon be over.
Yonder are the white horses being
hitched to chariots, and yonder are seraphs
lingering harps as il about TO strike them
into symphony, and yonder are conquerorS
taking down from the blue halls of heaven
the trumpets of victory. Remember, we
are mortal yet and cannot endure the full
roll of heavenly harmonies and cannot en-
dure even the silent heaven for more than
half an hour. Hark! the clock in the
tower of heaven begins TO strike, and the
half hour is ended. Descend Come backl
Come down. till your work IS done.
Shoulder little longer your burdens
Fight little longer your battles. Weep a
little longer your griefs. And then take
heaven not in its dullest half hour, but in
its mightiest pomp, and, instead of taking
1t Tor thirty minutes, take it world without
end.
But how will you spend the first half
hour of your heavenly citizenship after
you have gone in to stay2 After your
prostration before the throne in worship of
him who made it possible for you to get
there at all, think the rest of your FIST
half hour in heaven will be passed in re-
ceiving your reward if You have been faith
full. have strangely beautiful book con-
tanning the pictures OF the medals struck
by the English government in honor of
great battles. These medals pinned over
the heart of the returned heroes of the
army, on great occasions, the royal family
present and the royal bands playing: The
Crimean medal, the Legion of Honor, the
Victoria Cross, tie Waterloo medal. In
your first half hour in heaven in some way
you will be honored for the earthly strug-
giles III which you won the day.
Stand up before all the royal house Of
heaven and receive the insignia while you
arc announced as victor ever the drouths
and freshets of the farm field, victor over
the temptations of the stock exchange,
victor over professional allurements, victor
over domestic infelicities, victor over me-
chanic's shop, victor over the storehouse,
victor over home Worriments, victor over
physical distresses, victor over hereditary
depressions, victor over sin and death and
hell Take the badge that celebrates those
victories through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Take it in the presence of all the galleries,
sanity, angelic and divinel While all
heaven chants: ''These are they who came
out of great tr1bulation and had their robes
washed and made white in the blood of the
Lamb"
Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer though they die;
They see the triumph from afar
And seize it with their eye.
