be attuned by the Gospel harp. There
will be as many classes in society as
now, but the classes will not be regu-
lated by birth, or wealth, or accident, bur
by the scale of virtue and benevoleucc.
and people will be assigned to their places
IS good, or very good, or most excellent.
So also commercial life will be attuned,
and there will be twelve in every dozen
and sixteen ounces in every pound, ana
apples at the bottom of the barrel will be
as sound as those on the top, and six
goods viii not be cotton, and sellers will
not have to charge honest people more
than the right price because others will
not pay and goods will come to you cor
responding with the sample by whicn
you purchased them, and coffee will not
be chicoried, and sugar will not be sane
ed and milk will not be chalked, ana
adulteration of food will be a state prison
offense. Aye, all things shall be attuned.

churches, tends toward this consumma-
ton. Make 1t more and more hearty.
Sing in your families. Sing in Your places
of business. If we, with proper spirit,
use these faculties, we are rehearsing for
the skies.
Heaven Is to have a new song, an en-
tirely new song, but 1 should not wonder
If, as sometimes on earth a tune is fash
Toned out of many tunes, or 1t Is one
tune with the variations, so some of the
songs of the redeemed may have playing
through them the songs Of earth; and
how thrilling, Is coming through the great
anthem of the saved, accompanied by
harpers with their harps, and trumpeters
with their trumpets, if we should hear
some of the strains of Antioch and
Mount Pisgah, and Coronation, and Lee
noX, and St Martins, and Fountain, and
Ariel, and Old Hundred How they would
bring to mind the praying circles, and
communion days, and the Christmas fes-

that when we bid farewell to earth we

gospel hymns, which melted and raptured
our souls for so many years. Now if sin
