SO that we should be homeless forever.
o, no. He is only black messenger
who comes to tell us it is time TO move;
to tell us to get out of this hut and go
up into the palace. The Christian owns
all Heaven. "All are yours" Its pal
aces of beauty, its towers of
strength, its castles of love. He
will not walk in the Eternal
City as foreigner in a strange city,
premises. "All are yours" All the
mansions yours. Angels your compan-
ions. Trees of life your shade. Hills
of glory your lookout. Thrones of
Heaven the place where you will shout
the triumph. Jesus is yours God is
yours. You look up into the face of
God and say. my Father" You look
up into the face of Jesus and say, MY
Brother" Walk out on the battle
ments of Heaven and look off upon the
city of the sun. No tears. No sorrow.
No death. No smoke of toiling ware
house curling on the air No voice of
blashemy thrilling through that bright,
clear, Sabbath morning. No din of
strife jarring the air. Then take out
your deed and remember that from
throne to throne, and from wall TO wall,
and from horizon to horizon, 'All are
yours"
Then get up into the temple of the
sun. worshipers in white. each with
palm branch, and from the high gallery
of that temple look down upon the
thousands of thousands, and the ten
thousand times ten thousand, and the
one hundred and forty and four thou
sand, and the great multitude that no
man can number" and louder than the
rush of wheels, louder than the tramp
of the redeemed, hear voice saying:
''All are yours" See the great process
sion marching around the throne of
God. Martyrs who went up on wings
of flame Iuvalids who went up from
couches of distress Toilers who went
up from the worlkhouse, and the factory
and the mine. All the suffering and
the bruised children of God See the
chariots of salvation; in them those
who were more than conquerors. See
them marching around about the throne
of God forever and forever, and know
that "all are yours"
Oye who have pains of body that ex-
haust your strength and wear out your
patience, | hold before you this morn
ing the land of eternal health and of
beauty and ''all is yours"
o We who have hard work to get your
daily bread, hard work to shelter your
from the storm, / lift before
you the vision of that land where they
never hunger, and they never thirst, |
and God feeds them, and robes cover
them, and the warmth of eternal love !
fills them, and all that is yours! o We |
whose hearts are buried in the !
grave of your dead-O We whose /
happiness went by long ago |
We who mourn for countenances !
that never will light up and for eyes
closed forcver-sit no longer among the !
tombs, but look here. A home that .
shall never be broken up. Green fields !
never cleft of the grave. Ransomed |
ones from you parted long ago, now .
radiant with a joy that shall never
cease. and love that shall never grow
cold, and wearing garments that shall
never wither, and know all that is
yours. Yours the love. Yours the az
,laim. Yours the transport. Yours
The cry of the four and twenty elders.
Yours the choiring of chcrubim. Yours
the Lamb that was slain.
In the vision of that glorious consun-
nation almost lose my foothold, and
nave to hold fast lest l be overborne by +
he glory. The vision rose before st.
TOhn on Patmos, and he saw Christ in
/ blood red garment, riding on white
lorse, and all Heaven following him on
white horses. What a procession. Let
Iesus ride. He walked the way foot
sore, weary and faint. Now let Him
'idc. White horses of victory, bear
IN our Chief. Hosanna to the Son of
David! Ride on, Jesus Let ali Ueav-
IN follow Him. Those cavalry of God
ought well and they fought triumph
lntly. Now let them be mounted. The
,avements of gold ring under the flying
loofs. Swords sheathed and victories
chargers Ye mounted troops of God,
'ide on! ride on! ten thousand abreast.
'avalcade after cavalcade. No blood
Iashed to the lips. No blood dripping
rom the fetloclIs. No smoke of battle
,reathed from the nostril. The battle
$ ended-the victory won,
o, if there be any present who are yet
nemies of the cross of Christ, beseech
hem at once to be reconciled to God!
Remember if you are not found among
hat white-robed army who follow the
saviour in his victorious march, your
,art must be with those concerning
whom it is said: THE Lord Jesus shall
he revealed from Heaven in flaming
ire, taking vengeance on those that
NEW not God, and Obeyed not the gos-
vel of our Lord Jesue Christ, who shall
be punished with everlasting destruc-
ion from the presence of the Lord and
rom the glory of HIS power, when He
hall come to be glori.ied in His saints,
nd to be admired in all them that be-
ieve."
