lifted to the kings table IL was more
difficult in those times even than II rs
now for common men to get into
royal dining room. The subjects might
have come around the rail of the palace
and might have seen the lights kindled,
and might have seen the clash of the
knives atid tile rattle of the golden COB
lets, but hot get IA, stout men with
stout feet could not get n HHce M all
their lives to one banquet, yet poor
McphiboShcth goes in, lives there and
is every day at the table. Oh, what a
getting up in the world IL was for poor
McphiboShcth. Well, though you a I'd
! may bc wofully famed with sin, for
mr divine IUnathan's sake, hope we
will all get IN To dine with the King.
BEFORE dining we must be introduced.
II yhti ire invited tO n company of per-
sons where there are distinguished
people present, you are intrSdueed'
This is the senator" This is the
governor This is the president"
before we sit down at the Kings table
in lIedven think we will want to be
introduced I'M, What n time that will
be, when you and /, By tHe grace OF
God. get into Heaven, and are intro
duced to the mighty spirits there, and
some one will say: This is Joshua.
This is Paul" This is Moses. This
is john knoS' This is John Mil
ton" This is Martin Luther" This
is George Whitcfeld@ Ull shall wa
have any strength left after suGh d
round of celestial introduction? Yea!
We shall be potentates ourselves. Then
we shall sit down at the Kings table
with the sons and daughters of God,
and one will whisper tn us and say;
Behold what manner 81 love tho
Father hath bestowed upon us that we
should be called the sons of Cod, and
some one at the table will say, How
long will II last3 All other banqueIs at
which sat ended How l'hiG will this
last?" and Paul will answer, Forever
and Joshua will say Forever" and
John KpoY will say Forever. and
George WhitcHcid will say forever"
And the wine a that banquet will be
old wine; it will be very md wine; it
will be the oldest wine of Heaven, il
will be the wine that was trodden out
fr,ln, the red clusters on the day when
Jesus tfod The Ninspress alone. Wine
already more thai eighteen centuries
old. And no one will deridE IS aS to
what we were in this world No one
will bring up our imperfectionS here,
Hit sins here All our earthly imper-
fcctions Completely covered up and
hidden. Mephibosheths frst under
the table. Kingly fare. Kingit yes
ture. Kingly companionship. We
shall reign forever and ever. think
that banquet will mean more to those
who hid il hard in this world than
TO those who had 1t easy. That BAN
qiet in David's palace meant more to
Mcphibosheth THAI to any one else, be-
cause he had been poor aid ctippled'
aid despiscd, and rejected. And that
man who in This world is blind will
better appreciate the HIGHT 81 Heaven
than we who in this world lad good
srosicbt And that man who in this
ygri5 was deaf will better appreciate
the ihusic 6f Heaven Than We who in
this world had good hearing. And
those will have a higher appreciation
Of the easy locomotion Of that land
who in this world were Mephibo-
sheths.
