lists pass through. Gate the fifth, the
Free Will Baptists pass through. Gate
the sixth, the Reformed church passes
through. Gate the seventh, the Congre.
gat'onalists pass through. Gate the
ehth, the German Reformed church
passes through. Gate the ninth,
the Methodists pass through.
Gate the tenth, the Sabbatarians
pass through. Gate the eleventh,
the Church of the Disciples pass
through. Gate the twelfth the Presby-
terlans pass through. But there are q
great part of other denominations who
must come in, and great multitudes
who connected themselves with no Wis
IDLE church but felt the power of godli-
ness in their heart and followed it in
their life. Where is their gate? Will
you shut all the remaining hosts out Of
the city? No. They may come in at
our gate. Hosts of God, If you can not
get admission through any other en-
trance come in at the twelfth gate.
Now they mingle before the throne.
Locking ap Ct tbs enc hundred and
forty and four thousand, you can tell
which gate they come in. One Lord.
One faith. One baptism. One CLASSY
sea. One doxology. One triumph.

you get IMP" 81 came through the
third gate" ''Cranmer, how did you
get IMP" Il came through the eighth
gate" "Adoniram Judson, how did
you get through?' ~ came through
the seventh gate" Hugh McKail,
the martyr, how did you get through"

Glory to God, twelve gates but one
Heaven.
In the third place, notice the points
of the compass toward which these
gates look. They are not on one side,
or on two sides, or three sides, but on
four sides. This is no fancy Of mine,
but distinct announcement. On the

west three gates. What does that

tiles are included, and it does not make

right, there is gate open before him.
On the north three gates. That means
mercy for Lapland and Siberia and
Norway and Sweden. On the south
three gates. That means pardon for
Hindustan and Algiers and Ethiopia.
On the east three gates. That means
salvation for China Japan and Borneo.
On the west three gates That means
redemption for America. 1t does not
make any difference how dark skinned
or how pale faced men may
be. They find gate right before
them. Those plucked bananas under a

The gates that gather in the righteous
will bring them in irrespective Of ma

most pathetic stories have been told OF
hose who left their native cline, and

swiss, coming to the high residence OF

Alps standing amid the eternal hills.
The Russian will not long any more
