you will go free, as did Richard Cecil
with $40 of missionary money in his
saddlebags, and the highwaymen grab
bed his horse by the bride and told him
to deliver, and he prayed to Gcd for
safety, and suddenly one Of the robbers
said: "Mr. Cecil, / once heard you
preach. Boys, let the gentleman CO."
But let me criticise Miriam little
for the instrument of music she en-
ployed in the divine service on the
sandy beach. Why not take some 9th
er instrument? The harp was a sacred
instrument. Why did she not take
that? The cymbal was sacred instru-
ment. Why did she not take that?
The trumpet was sacred instrument.
Why did she not take that? Amid that
great host there must have been mu-
steal instruments more used in religi-
GUS service. No. She took that
which she 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 the clapping of 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. My idea OF
Heaven is that it is place where we
can do rs we please and have every
thing VIC want. OF course we will do
nothing wrong and want nothing harm
full.
How much of the material and phys
ical will finally make up 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
timbrel, and as l can not make music
on any of them I think will move
around among all of them and listen.
But there are our friends of the Scotch
Covenanter church who do not like
musical instruments at all in divine
worship, and they need not have them.
tell Duncan and Mcleod and Bruce
they need never hear in Heaven single
string thrum, or a single organ roll.
We will do all as we please in that
radiant place if through the pardoning
and sanctifying grace of Christ we ever
get there. What day it will be when
we stand on the beach of Heaven and
look back on the Red sea of this worlds
sin and trouble and celebrate the fact
that we have got through and got over
and got up, our sins and our troubles
attempting to follow gone clear down
under the waves.
Oh, crimson floods, roll over them
and drown them, and drown them
forever. What a celebration it will
be-our resurrected bodies standing
on the beach whose pebbles are am
ethyst and emerald and agate and
diamonds. What u shaking of hands!
What talking over old times! What
a jubilee! What an opportunity to
visit. In this world we have so
little time for that, / am looking
forward to eternal socialities. To be
with God and never sin against him.
To be with Christ and forever feel his
love. To walk together in robes OF
white with those with whom on earth
we walked together in black raiment OF
mourning. To gather up the members
of our scattered families and embrace
them with no embarrassment, though
all Heaven be looking on.
A mine in Scotland caved in and
caught between the rocks young man
who in a few days was to have been
united in holy marriage. No one could
get heart to tell his affianced of the
death of her beloved, but some one
made her believe that he had changed
his mind about the marriage and will
fully disappeared. Fifty years passed
on, when one day the miners delving in
the earth suddenly came on the body OF
that young man, which had all those
wears been kept from the air and looked
lust as it was the day of the calamity.
Strong, manly, noble youth, he sat
there looking as on the day he died.
But no one recognized the silent form.
After awhile they called the oldest
inhabitant to come and see if anyone
could recognize him. A woman with
bent form and her hair snowy white
with years came Mt last, and
looked upon the silent form that had
been so completely preserved. gave
bitter cry and fell into a long swoon.
1t was the one to whom half century
before she was to have been welded,
looking then just as when in the days
of their youth their affections had COM
mingled. But the emotion of her soul
was too great for mortal endurance,
and two days after those who fifty
wears before were to have joined hands
in wedlock were at last married in the
tomb, and side by side they wait for the
resurrection.
