Yes, Heaven is n great sociable, with
Joy like the joy of the husking time.
No one there feeling so big he declines
to speak to some one that Is not SD
large. Archaugol willing to listen to
smallest chcrub No boiling the door
of caste ut one heavenly mansion to
keep out the citizen of u smaller man.
sion No clique in n corner whisper
ing about n clique in another corner.
David taking non of the airs OF n
giant-kilcr. Joshua making no one
halt until no passes, because he made
the sun and moon halt. Pau making
no assumption over the most ordinary
preacher OF righteousness. Naaman,
captain of the Syrian host. no more
honorcd than the captive maid who told
him where he could get II good doctor.
q my soul. what n country! The hum
blcst man II king. I'll poorest woman
u queen. The mcancst house u palace.
The shortest lifetime eternity. And
what is more strange about IL all is we
may all get there,
"But," says some one, 'lo you really
think | would Toe Mt nome In that su.
pcrnal society IL | should reach it"' I
think you would. l know . would.
| remember that in the husking time
there was great equality Of feeling
among the ncighbors There Mt one
corn shock u farmer would he At work.
who owned 300 acres of ground Tho
man whom he was talking to ut the
next corn shock owned but thirty acres
of ground. and perhaps NIL that covered
by u mortgage. That evening, Mt the
close of the husking day, one man
drove home u roam spar 80
frisky, so full Of life, they got
their feet over the trace. The other
man walked home. Great difference In
education. great difference In worldly
means; but | noticed Mt 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 80 1t will be In heaven.
70 Our Father will gather His children
around Him, and the ncighbors will
| come in, and the past will be rehearsed.
{ And some one will tell of victory, and
. wc will all celc brate 1t. And some onel
will tell OF great struggle, and we will1
, all praise the grace that fetched him4

: Here is my old father that l put
away with h%eartbreak; just look at,
him, he is as young as any Of us!''
And some one will say: Here
I is Is my darling child that I buried in

my life were Swallowed with dcsolation
just look nj her! She d~oesen't seem

| Not one OF you having died too soon, or

there is nothing hat so awakens reas-
C inisccnccs In me as the doors OF a corn
IT field when | cross it ut this time Of year
n after the corn has been cut and IL
IT stands in shocks. And SO l have
e thought it might it be practically use.
n full for us to-day to cross the corntield,
r and ! nave Thought perhaps there
Vt might be some reminisccnce reused in
d our soul that might be salutary and
ID might DO saving. In Sweden a
y prirua donna, while her house in the
'e city was being repaired, took n
/? house in the country for temporary
% residence, and sho brought out her
If grca. array of jewels to show II friend
G. who wished to see them. One night,
after displaying these jewels, and leav-
n ing them on the table, and all her
,e friends had gone. and the servants had
is gone-onc summer night-she sat
y thinking and looking into u mirror just
1T in front OF her chair, when she saw In
that mirror the face of n robber look
~ ing in at the window behind her and
g. gazing at those jewels. She was In
ne great fright, but sat still, and, hardly
ic knowing why she did SO, she began To
al sing an old nursery song, her fears
IS making the pathos of the song more
" telling. Suddenly she noticed, while
'r looking at tho mirror, that the robbers
10 face had gone from the window, and Il
y did not come back. A few days aftel
e, the prima donna received a letter from
~ the robber, saying: ~ heard that the
~ jewels were To be out that night, and
ld came To take them at whatever hazard
ID but when | heard you sing that nursery
&c song with which my mother so Otter
su sang me to sleep, l could not stand
AZ and ! fled, and l AVE resolved upon
rs new and honest life" o my friends
oi there arejewelsin peril richer than thos
1T which lay upon that table that night
They are the jewels of the immortal SOU
III Would God that some song rolling u
IN out Of the deserted nursery of you
nc childhood, or some song rolling up on
80 of the corntields, the song of the husk
ey ers twenty or forty years ago, nigh
=, turn all N feet out of the paths of 81
p into the paths OF righteousness. Woul
d. God that those memories waited in o
ny odor or song might start us thi
