many say he is no Christ at all, and
there are tens OF thousands Of hands try
ing to push him back and keep him down.
But. OH the human and satanic impo-
tenCy! Can a spider stop an albatross?
Can the hole which the toy shovel of
child digs in the sand at Cape May swal-
low the Atlantic? Can the breath of
summer fan drive back the Mediterranean
euroclydon? Yes, when all the combined
forces of earth and hell can keep Christ
from ascending the throne of universal do
minion. David the Psalmist foresaw that
coronation, and cried out in regard to the
Messiah: Upon himself shall his crown
flourish From the cave of black basalt
st. John foresaw Ii, and cried: ION his
head were many crowns" Now do not
miss the beauty of that figure. There is
no room on any head for more than one
crown of silver gold or diamond. Chen
what does the Book mean when it says.
ION his head were many crowns?' Well,
il means twisted and enwreathed flowers.
To prepare crown for your child and
make her the Queen of the May" you
might take the white flowers out of one
parterre, and the crimson flowers out of
another parterre and the blue flowers
out of another parterre, and the pink flow
ers out of another parterre, and gracefully
and skillfully work these four or five
crowns into one crown of beauty. SO all
the splendors of earth and heaven are to
be enwreathed into one coronal for our
Lords forehead-one blazing glory, one
dazzling brightness, one overpowering
perfume one down flashing, up-rolling
out-spreading magnifcence-and so on his
head shall be many crowns.
The worlds best music will vet be
sounded in his praise the worlds best
architecture built for his worship, the
worlds best paintings descriptive of his
triumphs, the worlds best sculpture per
aafrr 70 he LII
heroines. Already the crown woven out
of many crowns is being put upon his
brow. His SCARED feet are already as
cending the throne. A careful statisticiau
estimates that in 1850 there will be 174O0O.-
600 people in the United States, and by the
present ratio of uniting with the church
100000 of them will be church members
What think We of that We pessimists in
spired by the devil? The deadest failure
in the universe is the kingdom of satan.
The grandest throne of all time and all
eternity is the one that Christ is now
mounting. The most of us will not see
the contamination in this world. But we
will gaze on il from the high heavens. The
morning of that contamination will arrive
and what a stir in the holy city. All the
towers of gold will ring it's arrival All
the chariots will roll into line The armies
of heaven which John saw seated on white
horses passing in infinite cavalcade. The
inha bitants of Europe, Asia, Africa, North
and South America, and of all islands of
the sea, and perhaps of other worlds will
join in a procession compared with which
that of next Tuesday will not make one
battalion. The Conqueror ahead, having on
his vesture and on his thigh written King
of Kings and Lord of Lords" and when he
passes through the chief OF the twelve up
lifted gates, all nations following, may
you and / be there to hear the combined
shout of church militant and church tri-
umphant. Until the mightiest musician of
heaven shall compose an anthem worthy
OF that coronation, an anthem chanted by
choirs standing on sea of glass mingled
with ire accompanied by harpers with
their harps, and trumpeters with their
trumpets, the hundred and forty and four
thousand joinging in the chorus, 1 say
until that Grand March" is composed
we had better stick to Isaac Watts old
hymn, which the five thousand natives of
Tonga, and Fiji, and Samoa sang when
giving up their idolatries for Christiani-
ty, and ] would not be surprised if, as
request two verses of that song, some OF
these old soldiers of the cross who have
been a lifetime in the service, should be
found beating time with the right hand
the hand a little shaky with the infrmity
of years:
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run.
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors TO our King.
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.
