AN IDEA or HEAVEN.
But let me crificisc Miriam little for
1 the instrument Of music she employed
In the divine service ON the sandy beach.
Why not take some other instrument?
I The harp WA sacred instrument. Why
did she not take that? The cymbal was
sacred instrument. Why did she not
+ take that? The trumpet was sacred in
! strument Why did she not take thatl
Amid that great host there must have
been musical instruments more used in
religious service. No. She took that
which shc liked the best and on which
( she could best express her graduation
over nations rescue, first through the
retreat OF the waves Of the Red sea, and
then through the clapping Ut the hands
Of their destruction. So withdraw my
criticism Of Miriam. Let every one take
her or his best mode Of divine worship
and celebration. Ny idea Of heaven Is
that IL is place where we can do rs We
please and have everything we want OF
course we will do nothing wrong and
want nothing harmful.
How much Of tho material and phys
ical will finally mako mp the heavenly
world know not, but think Gabriel
will have his trumpet. and David his
harp. and Handel his organ. and Thai
berg his piano. and the great Norwegian
performer his violin. and Miriam her tim
brel, aud ~ cannot make music on any
Of them I think I will move around
among all Of them aud listen. But there
are orr friends Ut the Scotch Covenanter
church Who do not like musical instiu-
ments IT AL tn divine worship. aud they
need not have them.
I tall Duncan and Mcleod and Bruce
they need never hear in heaven u single
string thrum. os single organ roll We
win all do - We please Ina that radiant
place " through the pardonins and
sanctifying grace III Christ we ever get
th~ee. What day IL will IN when We
