TopIc-Tae happiness of heaven.-Rev. xxi,
II. 22a.
Heaven is the abode of God and His
angels, the invisible realm of holiness
and happiness, where the children OF
God shall spend their eternity. 1t is al
ways represented i'll the Scriptures as
glorious and happy place. Jesus
speaks of it as His Fathers house,
where there are many mansions pre-
pared for those who are His Paul re-
fers to this inheritance of God as rich
in glory, and placed before His mind
Int one goal, that of the eternal happl-
ness of heaven. Johns vision of heaven
in Revelation represents it as place OF
magnificence and of splendor as well as
of peace and happiness. Taking all the
Scripture says about heaven into con-
sideration, we can say with Isaiah and
with Paul, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man the things which God hath
prepared for them that love Him. " The
description that John gives Of heaven is
necessarily figurative. Yet many OF
these figures speak of the happiness OF
heaven.
1. "There was no more sea-. The sea
speaks of separation. of restlessness, OF
mutation, things which characterize
this life, and which cause much of the
sorrow of life. With these removed, the
cause of sorrow will be removed and
happiness will prevail instead.
2. "He will dwell with them. " God
will dwell in the New Jerusalem with
His people. What happiness that will
bring! How we long to see God face to
face. to know more of God. Christ will
be there also-anothcr source of the JOY
of heaven E. has gone to prepare q
place for us; that where He is there we
may be also. That place il heaven.
Where Christ is that il heaven, and
there can be no heaven without Him.
In the sunshine of His presence there
cannot but be everlasting joy, perpetual
happiness.
8. ''There shall be no moro death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any moro pain, for the
former Things are passed away. No
death, no tears, no paini How much OF
the sorrow of life is caused by these
things which shall have passed awayl
4. "There shall be no night there. !"
Night speaks of death and darkness and
gloom. 1t is characteristic of earth, but
there shall be no night i'll heaven. No
night of death, because there shall be
no death; 10 night of fear, because
there will be no one to modest or make
afraid; no night of watching, for none
shall be sick; no night Of sin. because
nothing that defileth shall enter therein.

ToPic-The duty and Joy of church mem
bership.-Math. K. IS IS.
The word CHURCH is generally sup
posed to have been derived from Greek
word meaning belonging to the
Lord. In all probability, however, it
comes from word meaning circle, "
because the congregations were gath
cred in circles. In the gospel we learn
that Christ came to the earth to estab-
lish His Kingdom, which was to take
the place Oh the Jewish church. This
was done ON the day of Pentecost. The
individual followers of Christ were
united under certain conditions into an
organization, which was called the
church, to which it has since been a
duty and joy for Christ's followers to
belong.
l. The duty of church membership.
U) Church membership is duty be-
cause it is commanded. Christ, the
head and founder of the church, com
mands it. He commands us to confess
Him, and His church is the proper and
this confession We are looked upon as
Christians or not Christians by our re-
lation to the church. The world does
not look upon as as Christians unless
we are united with the church, and,
therefore, our influence is against Christ
rather than for Him. (2) Church mem
bership is duty because i'll it are the
~ a G
tians are commanded to keep These
ordinances are baptism and the Lord S
supper. The church was commanded to
baptize and to administer the Lords
supper All Christians are commanded
to observe these ordinances. We cannot
observe them except by union with the
church (3) Church membership is a
duty because it is necessary to our
highest spiritual development. If the
church had not been necessary for our
growth in grace it would not have been
instituted. God never does anything
that is unnecessary. The fact of its ex-
istence and the experience of the best
Christian people testify to its necessity
for spiritual growth, and, therefore, the
duty Of belonging to it.
2. The joy of church membership. (D
It is a joy because by it we do our
duty to God and to Christ our Saviour.
Performance Of duty always brings
peace and joy as its reward. az 1t is a
Joy because Of the Christian fellowship
it brings. Fellowship and association
with the saints are joy unsurpassed in
this life. 80 1t is joy because it opens
up avenues Of usefulness. We are hap
piest when busiest. The church gives
us the opportunity of working for God,
and thus brings joy to us.

RUNNING BIRDS.
1t Is = Mistake to Think They Cannot Be
Tanned

1t Is = Mistake to Think They Cannot BE
Tanned.
1t is popularity supposed that hum
ming birds are too delicate to endure
captivity, but this is mistake, as
personally know, says a writer in the
New York Home Journal, and can give
account of several that have been tanned.
Living specimens of these tiny members
of the feathered tribe were owned by a
friend of mine awhile since and exhib-
tied in the window of the late proprietor
of Taylor's saloon, Broadway, New
York. In fact, instances are numerous
in which they have been kept for
months, and even for year, incaged,
IN England as well as in this country,
and believe that large collection has
for some time existed in the Geological
gardens, Regents park, London. A
young lady of New York has for some
time amused herself with these delicate
creatures as pets. They build their nests
in the lace curtains and have raised
little families in the parlor. There are
plants for them to fly about in, and ev-
cry day the florist sends basket OF
flowers for them to extract honey from.
They are like little rainbows flying
about the room, and they light on the
head of their dainty mistress with per-
feet freedom.
The humming birds shown in Broad
way were caught by German, who
succeeded in tanning them very easily
They subsist, when Gagged, upon honey
10 lNaI nj aa6
in little crystal cages, with pretty spray
perches and punches of glass flowers, in
whose cups their food was placed. After
being Gagged two months they became sc
tame that they readily learned to thrust
their long, slender, threadlike tongues
between the lips of their keeper for the
sweets on which they subsisted. In their
natural state they also feed upon the
minute insects which infest flowers, and
no doubt, if this sort of food were sup
piled to them, together with honey, by
those who held them in confinement,
they might be kept alive for as long q
time as some of the moro hardy pets OF
the aviary.
The birds at Taylor's attracted a
crowd Of people from morning till night,
who seemed to never grow weary of
watching them. They were evidently at
that time a "new sensation" to the
habitues of Broadway. Nor is this to
be wondered at. for, what with the
flashing iridescence of their plumage,
changing with every motion. from en-
erald to ruby and gold, their marvellous
delicacy Of form, their extreme rapidity
of flight, now lowering over the honey
laden calyx, now darting from spray to
spray or perching upon twig, coquet-
tishly pluming themselves with their
long, slender beaks. they are really OBJ
jects of grace and beauty. worthy the
admiration of every beholder.

his train he has placed paper rack
which he keeps supplied with religious

him an opportunity for personal work

several travelling statesmen, have been
led into the better life. All but one OF

God exists, and truth and duty, as

older than Christianity, and which will
shine clear though Christianity were
discredited or forgotten. John Learned.

What We Have Most to Fear.

The thing we have most to fear from
is not the liveliness Of the sinners, but
the deafness Of the saints-that remote

the great realities that makes God a

person, and the superb verities. the pos
session of the few rather than the real
ization of the many. DIR. Parkhurst.
