and sped away into the dim distance
behind. On and on and on, through
stars and systems and great concours-
es Of worlds. On every side, on every
hand all space seemed full +; stars and
stars and stars, and systems and sys-
TENS and systems, galaxy after galaxy,
and armament after armament and
heaven after heaven. But by and by
the stars grew thinner and thinner
and the light grew paler and the firm
aments began to stretch away behind
and now their was not a star before us
to be seen soon all behind us was
but one bright speck, the darkness
became thicker and thicker until not
a single CLEAN of light was precept-
ible anywhere all was darkness,
blacklist darkness. On and on we
sped, through oceans of darkness
broad and deep and unfathomable.
And began to wonder if we had left
the universe behind forever and were
gliding swiftly off into limitless chaos.
On and on and on, farther and farther
and deeper and deeper, myriads and
myriads Of miles, and myriads of
of multiplications of infinite
distances until when despair
Of ever seeing again the light,
or aught of the universe of worlds
had possessed my bosom, 10! the
light burst again from another heaven
and another firmamant and another
starry host Of worlds. And now the
heavens piled themselves up around
us in more magnificent grandeur and
more countless hosts and more in
Vulnerable multitudes than ever be-
fore. Galaxy above galaxy, system
above system, heaven above heaven.
We sped on and on, but there was no
end to the starry hosts, ever they kept
bursting upon our view. For longer
than before we now sped on through
these starry worlds. And SO we went
on and on, through alternate light
and darkness, and once we came to
place where a day Of judgment had
come, and the worlds were burning,
and the suns were dying and the at
mosphere was filled with the wreck
and ruin and destruction of expiring
systems. Again we went on and on.
And now change came over me. I
know not what it was only I seemed
to see with new vision and behold all
things changed. AS my eyes saw no
longer with finite vision, but with a
new power, of another life, 10! the
light burst out upon them but not.as
| had ever seen it before. There was
no more darkness, all was light. I
saw all the way which had come,
and farther infinitely farther. Every
where was one vast boundless sea of
light thousands and thousands of
leagues above and thousands and
thousands of leagues below, to the
right infinite distance, to the left in
finite distance-sea boundless, sea
fathomless, sea unreasonable, sea
without shore. In this boundless sea
the suns foated like little grey specks,
and the planets like little grains of
sand. And on the suns I saw beings
walking having the form of men,
and now I saw that darkness and
death dwelt only on the WORLDS the
worlds were where life began but life
freed from death dwelt in the light
among the worlds. And as I gazed
about me I saw one standing before
me having the form of little child, but
as looked upon him l saw he was no
! longer child but his bearing became
; majestic and kingly, and then I saw
that there was crown upon his brow,
but 10! it was the crown of thorns.
There was a question on my lip,
whence comes this life to meg But
before could speak he answered, 4
am come that ye may have life, and
may have it abundantly.'" And
then found that my dream was
reality, and in my ears was the sound
of music: -.
A thousand harps are ringing,
A thousand souls are singing, ...- -..
A thousand songs are finging :.
