There Is place for us, whether marked or
not, where you and will sleep the last
sleep, and the men are now living who will,
with solemn tread, carry us to oar resting
place. Ay it is known in heaven whether
our departure will be a coronation or ban
ishment Brighter than a banquetinR hall
through which the light feet Of the dancers
20 up and down 10 the sound Of trumpeters
will be the sepulcher through whose riffs
the holy light Of heaven streameth. God
will watch you. He will send his angels to
guard your slum bering ground, until, at
Christ's behest, they shall roll away the
stone.
So, also, Christ is above all in heaven.
The Bible distinctly says that Christ is the
chief theme Of the celestial aioription, all
the thrones facing his throue, ell the palms
waved before his face all the crowns down
at his feet. Cherubim to cherubim, sera-

stand on some high hill of heaven, and In
all the radiant sweep the most glorious OBJ
jsct will be Jesus. Myriads gazing on the
scars Of his suffering, in silence first, after
ward breaking forth into reclamation, The
martyrs, all the purer for the flame through
which they passed, will say: This is Jesus,
for whom we died" The apostles, all the
happier for the shipwreok and the scourg-
ing through which they went, will say;
''This Is the Jesus whom we preached at
Corinth, and at Cappadocio, and at
Antioch. and Eat Jerusalem" Little chill
dren clad in white will say: This is the
Jesus who took us in his arms and blessed
US, and when the storms Of the world were
too cold and loud brought us into this
beautiful place" The multtudes of the
bereft will say: This is the Jesus who
comforbed us when our hearts broke"
Many who had wandered clear off from
God and plunged into vRgabondism, but
we're saved by grace, will say: "This Is the
Jesus who pardonsd us. We were lost on
the mountains, and he brought US home.
We we're guilty, aud he made us white as
snow. Mercy boundess, grace unparall-
eled. And then, after each one has reciCed
his peculiar deliverances and peculiar mer-
cies, recited them as by solo, all the voices
will come together in a great chorus which
shall make the eternal rever heration,of glad
ness and arches echo aud re-echo with the
peace and triumph.
Edward |. was so anxious to go to the
Holy Land that when he was about to ex-
pire he bequeathed $3.50 900 to have his
heart, after his decease, taken to the holy
Land in Asia Minor, and his request was
complied with. But there are hundreds to-
day whose hearts are already in the holy
land OF heaven. Where your treasures are
there are your hearts also. John Bunyan,
Of whom spoke at the opening of the dis
course, caught glimpse of that place, and
in his quaint way he said: 'And heard in
my dream and lol the bells of the city rang
again for joy; and as they opened the gates
10 let In the men l looked in after them,
and 10 the city shone like the sun, and there
were streets of gold, and men walked on
them, harps in their hands to sing praises
with all, and after Bhat they shut up the
gates, which when had seen l wished my
self among them"
