that one gate Of pardon and peace ali

but" says some one, 'do you really
think would beat home in that super
nal society if should reach it:' | think
/ you would. 1 know you would. | re-
member that in the h1sking time there
was great equality of feeling among
the neighbors. There at one corn shock
farmer would be at work who owned
two hundred acres Of ground The man
whom he was talking with at the next
corn shock owned but thirty acres OF
ground, and perhaps all that covered by
mortgage.
That evening, at the close of the husk-
ing day, one man drove home a roam
span so frisky, so full OF life they got
their feet over the traces. The other
man walked home. Great difference in
education, great difference in worldly
means, but I noticed at the husking
time they all seemed to enjoy each
others society. They did not ask any
man how much property he owned or
what his education, had been. They all
seemed to be happy together in those
good times. And SO it will he in heaven.
Our Father will gather his children
around him., and the neighbors will
come in, and the past will be rehearsed,
and some one will tell of victory, and
I we will all celebrate it, and some one
will tell of great struggle, and we will
+ all praise the grace that fetched him out
of it, and some one will say: 1Here is
\ my old father that 1 put away with
heartbreak. Just look at himl Hesiseas
young as any of us!'
And some one will say: "Here is my
darling child that buried in Green
wood, and all the after years of my life
were Swallowed with desolation. Just
look at her! She doesn't seem as if she
had been sick a minutep Great social
ity. Great neighborhood kindness. Go
in and dine. What though John Milton
sit down on one side and John Howard
sit down on the other side? No embar-
rassment. What though Charlotte Eliz-
abeth sit down on one side and Hannah
More sit down on the other slider No
embarrassment. A monarch yourself,
why be embarrassed among monarchs?
| A songster yourself, why be embarrassed
among glorifed songsters? Go in and
| dine. - ri
THE LAST GREAT INGATHERING,
All the shocks of corn coming in in
| their season. Oh, yes, in their season.
Not one of you having died too soon, or
having died too late, or having died at
| haphazard. Planted at just the right
| time. Plowed at just the right time. Cut
| down at just the right time. Husked at
/ Just the right time. Garnered at just
| the right time. Coming in in your
season. Oh, wish that the two bill
lion bushels of corn now in the fields
or on their way to the seaboard might
be type of the grand yield of honor
and glory and Immortality when all the
shocks come in.
I do not know how you are consti-
tuted, but I am SO constituted that
there is nothing that so awakens remi-
niscences in me as the odors of corn
field when cross it at this time of year
after the corn has been cut and it stands
in shocks. Andeso I have thought it
might be practically useful for us today
to cross the corn field, and have thought
perhaps there might be some reminis-
cence reused in our soul that might be
salutarv and might be saving. In Swe-
