Righteousness Namaan, captain OF the
Syrian hosts, no more honored than the
captive maid who told him where to get
n good doctor.
o my SOUL what n countryl The
humblest man n ling. The poor
est woman queen. The meanesi
house n palace. The shortest lifetime
an eternity. And what Is moro strange
about it all is we may get there "No,
J." says some one standing back under
the galleries Yes, you. Not l." says
some one who has not been in church
for fifteen years before mot J." said
some one who has been for fifty years
filing up his life with all kinds of
wickedness. Yes, you.
There are monopolies on earth--mo-
nopolistic railroads, and monopolistic
telegraph companies, and monopolistic
grain dealers-but no monopolies in re-
ligion. All who want TO be saved may
be saved without money and without
price" Salvation by the Lord Jesus
Christ for all the people. OF course, use
common sense in this matter You can
not expect TO get to Charleston by talk
ing the ship for Portland, and you can
not get to Heaven by going in opposite
direction. Believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved. Through
that one gate OF pardon and peace all
the race may go in.
But" says some one, do you really
think l would be Mt home in that su.
pernatural society If l should reach ftp
| think you would / know you would.
/ remember that in the huslxing time
there was great equality of feeling
among the neighbors. There ut one
| corn-shock q farmer would be at work
who owned 200 acres of ground. Tho
man whom he was talking with at the
next corn-shock owned but thirty acres
of ground, and perhaps all that covered
by Il mortgage That evening, ut the
close of the husking day, one man drove
home roam span so frislly, so full OF
| life, they got their feet over the traces.
The other man walked home
Great difference in education, great
difference in worldly means; but no.
ticed at the huslIing time they all
seemed to enjoy each others society.
They did not ask any man how much
property he owned or what his educa-
ton had been. They all seemed TO be
happy together in those good times.
And SO il will be in Heaven. Our Father
will gather His children around Him,
and the ncighbors will come In and the
past win be rchearsed. And some one
will tell of victory, and we will all celc.
bratc il.
And some one will tell Of great
struggle, and we will all praise the
grace that fetched him out of IL And
some one will say: "Here is my old
father that | put away with heart
break just look at him, he is as young
as any of u.s." And some one will say
"Here is my darling child that buried
in Greenwood, and all the after years
of my life were Swallowed with
desolation--just look ut her! She
doesn't seem ms If she had been
sick minute" Great sociability. Great |
neighborhood kindness. Go in and |
dine. What though John Milton sit
down on one side and John Howard sit |
down on the other side. No embarrass-
mcnt What though CharlottG Eliza |
beth sit down on one side and Hannah |
More sit down on the other? No en- !
barrassment A monarch yourself, why |
be embarrassed among monarchs? A !
songster yourself, why be embarrassed |
among glorified songsters? Go in and |
dine.
All the shocks of corn coming in ~
their season. oh, yes; in their season |
Not one of you having died too soon or
having died too late, or having died at
haphazard. Planted at just the right |
time, plowed Mt just tho rigt time, cut
down at just the right time.
HuslIed just Mt the right time. Gar
nered at just the right time. Coming
in in your season. Oh, / wish that the
two billion bushels of corn now in the
fields or on their way to the seaboard
might be n type of the grand yield OF
honor and glory and Immortality when
all the shocks come in.
