meets as happy as he can be-
Heaven - one great neighborhood n

rolling over bed Of pearl, under arch g
ehrysoprase, into seas Of glass mingle
with fire. Stand at the gate Of the granar
and see the grain come in; out Of the frost
into the sunshine, out Of the darkness int
the light, out Of the tearing, and the rip
ping, and the twisting, and the wrenchini

in in his season"
THE SOCIETY OF HEAVEN
Yes, heaven is a great sociable, with 10,
like the JOY Of husking time. No one ther,
feeling so big he declines to speak to some
one that is not so large. Archangel will

mansion to keep out the citizen of a smaller
mansion. No clique in one corner whisper.
ing about clique in another corner. David
taking none Of the airs Of a giant killer;
Joshua making nOOne halt until he passes,
because he made the sun and moon halt;
Paul making no assumption over the most
! ordinary preacher Of righteousness; Naa-
man, captain Of the Syrian host, no more
honored than the captive maid who told
nm where he could get good doctor. Oh,
my soul, what a cOuntryl The humblest
man king, the poorest woman a queen
the meanest house a palace, the shortest
! lifetime eternity. And what is more strange
about it all is we may all get there.

years filling up his life with all kinds Of

may be saved, without money and with

Christ for all the people. or course use
common sense in this matter. You can
not expect to get to Charleston by taking
the ship for Portland, and you cannot get
to heaven by going in an opposite direc-
tion. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved Through that
one gate of pardon and peace all the race

ALL WILL BE AT HOME THERE.
But" says some one, de you really

society if l should reach itP' I think you
would. l know you would. l remember
that in the husking time there was a great
equality of feeling among the neighbors.

That evening, at the close Of the buskinp /
day, one man drove home a roam span SO |

home. Great difference in education, great

lsk any man how much property he owned
n what his education had been. They all
eemed to be happy together in those good

Father will gather his children around

he past will be rehearsed. And some one
will tell OF victory, and we will all celebrate

lie, and we will all praise the grace that
