DR.. Mortimer of New York made 1
some calculations on the size OF this /
great city and published them. His I.
figures show that the base surface
covers a superficial extent OF ,, 2,25O,-
600 square miles. The extent OF the /
city will give us over 3,375, ,OOO, 900 I
cubic miles. Let US therefore con-
template it in this light, and estimate
that only one-fiftieth portion of its |
vast space is occupied by mansions,
the balance open space, streets, ave-
nues and courts, such mansions
would then afford over ,OOO, 900 ,OOO,-
10000 rooms twenty feet square.
Now if all the inhabitants who have
lived and died on the earth for the
past 5000 years, and that 900 ,OOO, 900
should die daring each period OF
thirty years, and all should find a
home there, it would require more
than thirty million years to furnish
one soul for each room. And yet
some of you are looking for the mil
lenium. The world can't conceive
it. Bless God, it is big enough for
all, and sitting room to spare.
IT II WELL LIGHTED.
'And the city had no need Of the
sun, neither of the moon to shine in
it; for the glory OF God did tighten
it, and the Lamb is the light there
Of" No sun and no moon, light of
the greatest beauty falling over the
city in the most lucid and mellow
sweetness. "And the nations OF
them which are saved shall walk in
the light of it," Dear friends, shall
we be in this throng, and walk i'm
this continuing light forever and for
ever? IL is made of pure gold so
highly polished that il shines like
glass. Think of it; you will be sur
rounded by a mirror Of pure gold.
What! you say, poor thing like me
to go to such a city of pure gold2
Yes, Gods grace is sufficient for all, q,
thanks be to his holy name. Still
you are running yourself to death
here after a little gold.
I THE FASHIONS OF THE CITY
after this / beheld, and 10, n
great multitude which no man could
number, of all nations, and kindred
and people, and tongues, stood be-
fore the throne and before the Lamb,
clothed in white robes and palms i'm
their hands" You know YOU would
like TO see what your loved ones
wear in heaven, and some of YOU
who have not thought of heaven
would want to go. You would find
the saints and the redeemed clothed
in white. II must be delightful. No
change of style; the little babe wears
the robe like the oldest and most re-
nowned patriarchs; all are alike.
IT'S MUSICAL CITY.
John says, 81 heard a voice from
heaven, as the voice of many waters
and as the voice of n great thunder
and l heard the voice OF harpers
harping with their harps: and the,
sung as it were a new song before
the throne" How sweet must be
those perfect carols upon those harp'
never out of tune, and touched By
) angelic fingers, and those voices il
I song beyond disease and sorrow
Heavens orchestra with David ant
all the sweet singers who have lOnj
E gone up to make heaven ring witt
e their harps and songs. When ge
e there | want to take my harp, sur
n vey my robe, press my crown on m
e head, strike the chord and prais
L God forever.
q THE LANGUAGE OF HEAVEN.
! "And after these things / heard
# great voice of much people in heay
d en-, saying, Alleluiah, salvation, an
e glory, and honour, and power, unit
r our Lord our God" These loud aC
G carnations by this multitude, an
= the pureness of their speech, an
u the fervency Of their language make
y me want to say something like
d here now, and ! am glad that m
IS dear old mother often says some
d thing like it, and / am somewh'
q used to it, Should some good siste
= at once fall into such shouts, SON
/, Of you might become alarmed, an
II think her very nervous. A littl
K practice on these words here will NJ
II hurt US, and il some Of you old dun
-e mics don't practice here more tina
4 you do, you are going to get in trol
II be VIXEN you get up there.
