better II we are fitted for entrance IN
the celestial world. There is no clock
in heaven, because ii is an everlasting
day; vet they keep an account OF the
passing years, because they are all the

angels flying through heaven report
how many times the earth has turned
on its axis, and in that way the angels
can keep diary; and they say it is al
most time now for father to come up, or
for mother to come up. Some day they
see a cohort leaving heaven, and they
say. "Whither bOund?n and the answer
is, ITO bring up soul from eartn;,

flying nearer and nearer, until with 4
great clang the gates hoist, and with an
embrace, wild with the ecStacy OF
heaven, old friends meet again. Away

a laugh Of triumph. Aha! Aha. We
weep now, but then we shall laugh.

folded arms, but with heart open. 1t is
