understand how a mother with so many
cares and anXietes should waste so much
time as to be idly auntering out, evening
by evening. II was found out afterward

household. aud while there one evening
she wrote that beautiful hymn, famous
in all ages for cheering christian hearts

From every cumberInE care.
And spend the hours Of setting day
in humble. grateful prayer.
Shall there be no reward for such I'M
pretending yet everlasting service
We go into long sermon to prove that
we will be abel 10 recognize people IN
heaven when there is one reason we fail
to present, and that is better than all
God viii introduce US. We shall have
them ali pointed out. You would not be
guilty of the impoiteness of having
friends in your parlOr not intro

mand that we be made acquainted with

sal of cid times and recital of stirring re
miulsceuces. II others fail TO give in
PRODUCTION, God will take US through, and
before our first tWeuty-fOur hours in
heavCn-if it were calculated by earthly
time pieces have passed we shall meet
and talk with more heavenly celebrities
than in our entire mortal state we met
with earthly celebrities. Many who
made great noise Of usefulness viii sit on
the last seat by the front door of the
heavenly temple, while right up within
arms reach of the heavenly throne will
be many who though they could not
preach themselves or do great exploits for
God, nevertheless held the rope.
Come, let us go right up and accost
those on this circle Of heavenly thrones.
Surely, they must have killed in battle
million men. Surely they must have
been buried with all the cathedrals
sounding dirge and all the towers of all
the cities Joiling the national grief Who
art thou, mighty one of heaven Il lived
by choice the unmarried daughter in
humble home that ] might take care of
my parents in their old age. and I endured
without complaints all their querulous-
ness and minIstered 10 all their wants for
twenty years
Let us pass on round the circle of
thrones. Who art thou, mighty one of
heaven! Il was for thirty years chris
tain inTalid, and suffered all the while,
occasionally writing note of sympathy
for those worse on than |, and was gen
eral cOnt5ant of all those who had
trouble, aud once in a while ! was strong
enough to make garment for that poor
family in the back lane Pass on TO
another throne Who art thou. mighty
one OF heaven ~ was the mother who
raised whole family of children for God
and they are out in the world, christian
merchants, christian mechanics, christian
wives, and / have had full reward of all
my TOLL Let US pass on the circle of
thrones. 81 had sabbath school class,
and they were always on my heart and
they all entered the kingdom of God, and
/ am waiting for their arrival"
But who art thou, the mighty one,s of
heaven on this other throne? In time of
bitter persecution | owned house in Da-
mascus. a house on the wall. A man who
preached Christ was bounded from street
TO street, and l hid him from the assassins,
and when / found them breaking in my
house and l could no longer keep him
safely, / advised him to flee for his life and
basket was let down over the wall with
the maltreated man in it, and [ was one
who helped hold the rope And ! said
lis that allI' and he answered: That
is all And while | was lost in amaze
ment, | heard strong voice that sounded
as though it might once have been hOarse
from many exposures and triumphant as
though it might have belonged TO one of
the martyrs aad it said: "Not many
mighty, not many noble are called, but
God hath chosen the weak things of the
world TO cOnfouud the things which are
mighty, and base things of the world and
things which are despised hath God
chosen, Yea, and things which are not, to

Henceforth think of nothing as insig-
ni6cant. A little thing may decide you
all. A Cunarder put out from England
for New York. 1t was well equipped but
