TALK ABOUT HE4yEN
Mr.. Moody Gives some Interesting Facts
About the Promised Land

When the big choir at the tabernacle
commenced the service yesterday after
noon with that old familiar gospel hymn,
Sowing in the Morning." there were
about $500 souls in the audience The i'm
mense room was somewhat chilly by rea-
son Of the cold snap but that had no
effect upon the singing which was as
hearty as ever, and the entire service was
interesting TO all those who gathered
themselves together for the purpose OF
worshippng their Creator and trying to
do something for the uplifting of poor,
suffering. sinful humanity
The song service was continued for half
an hour. as usual, and Mr.. Jacobs SANG
couple of solos with his usual attractive
effect.
Mr. Moody announced that the meet
ing proper would be opened with hymn
No l2s. after the singing Of which prayer
was offered by Rev. DR.. Goodwin. After
several hymns. Rev. George c. Needham
led In prayer
WOULD FELL AWKWARD IN HEAVEN
Mr.. Moody took as his subject
Heaven" "There is a class of people ."
said he. "who think that we are not to
know much about Heaven. They think
II matter of speculation. ! think we
can learn q good deal about Heaven by
talking about IL and reading about H.
IL Is a good thing 10 be joyful in the
Lord. Some of you here this afternoon
would feel very awkward when they
commenced TO sing in Heaven, for you
haven't shown much inclination to sing
down here. You ought 10 practice sing
ing. IL there's one thing they DO have in
Heaven 1t IS singing.
Some people claim that we know moth
ing about Heaven, and they quote from
the Scriptures the words, Eye hath not
seen. ear hath not heard, Sc, IN support
OF their theory. But the Scriptures make
other statements proving that these the
sories are false. l do not believe Steven
was the only one on earth who got a
glimpse OF Heaven.
I've no sympathy with the opinion that
Heaven is everywhere. Heaven is as
much city as London or Paris God
dwelleth there for eternity. We are told
that before Daniel finished his prayer an
angel came and told him his prayer was
answered. We are taught that God is
there; Jesus Christ Is there. The jasper
walls and pearly gates are not what make
Heaven so attractive. not the stream
and fountains. but the loved ones that are
there.
1.-The question constantly comes up.
Shall we love in Heaven as we love
here7' ! haven't any question that we
shall love In Heaven a hundred times

I'm Heaven are the angels They dwell
there. IL may be that there are a large
number of angels right here in this au-
dlence. II ought to be a great comfort

meet the angels ia Heaven.
