a SHOUT OF TRIUMPH.
History tells us that one day the
armies of Xerxes shouted all at once
and the vociieration was SO mighty tia.
the birds flying through the air dropped
as though they were dead. Oh, what
shout of triumph when all the armies of
earth and all the armies of heaven shall
celebrate the victory of our lling-all at
once and all together: "Hallefliah! for
the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Halleluiahl for the kingdoms of this
world have become the kingdoms of our
Lord Jesus Christ"
When the Prussian army came back
from their war they were received in
1866 at the gates of Berlin, and a choir
stood above the gates, and as the first
regiment advanced and came. to the
gates the choir, in music, asked them
what right they had to enter there. And
then the first regiment, in song, replied,
telling over the stories of their conflicts
and victories. Then they marched in.
aud all the city was full of g1adness and
triumph. But oh! the greater joy when
the army with banners shall come up to
the gates of our king!
1t will be choir to choir, music to
music, hosanna to hosanna, halleluiah
to halleluiah. Lift i1p your heads, We
everlasting gates, and let them come in.
Then will be spread the banquet of eter-
nal victory, and the unfallen ones of
heaven will st at it, and all the ram
somed of earth will como in and cele-
brate the jubilee with unfading gar
lands on their brows telling of earthly
conquests.
All the walls of that celestial mansion
will be a-glitter with shields won in vic
toiious battle and adorned with the
banners of God that were carried in
front of the host. Harp shall tell to
harp the heroism in which the conquer
ora won their palm, and the church that
day will sit queen at the banquet. Her
wanderings over. her victories gained,
Christ shall rise up to introduce her to
all the nations of heaven, and as she
pulls aside herveil and looks upi into the
face of her Lord the king, Christ shall
exclaim. This is she that looketh forth
as the morning, fair as the moon, clear
as the sun and terrible as an army with
bannersr'
