life is spoiled. Therefore, let the music
OF these words enter into your spirit,
and keep them with you till you learn
how to make their meaning into daily
acts: "Learn of Me; for I am meek
and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls"
Take one or two examples, out OF
many, of how this may be done. II
you have been in the wrong from i'm
petuosity or heat of temper, and for
the moment have been betrayed into
sharpGWords or rude manners, follow
without false shame the guidance of
your heart; say that you are sorry,
not with the haughtiness which con-
tradicts your words, but with the cour-
tesy Of love. To apologize for ILL
or harsh speech il not ignoble. It ia
the offended isolated. tt is the selfish
sulkiness, which is unworthy Of a man
Oh woman. The apology may he diff
cult at first, but difficulties of this kind
we are bound to overcome if we seek
TO rise with Christ. At each success
sive time it becomes, easier, aud the
doing of it prevents the recurrence Of
the temper which renders the apology
necessary.
Again, if blame has to be given,
wait till your personal irritation is
over. It often comes in just as well,
and more forcibly, O week or a month
after, and when ell your own anger
has q ID. But blame must sometimes
be given directly. There are times
when principle is involved, when one
mus speak at once to wife or husband
or child or friend. But be natural in
it, let your heart speak, and not your
intellect alone; and moreover, let all
blame be rapid, and eve repeat it,
And when you have considered all,
remember that in these things love is
not, when unguarded, all in all. 1t
must be accompanied by the right rea
son of Justice; for Justice ia the only
element in which love can act without
the danger of falling into weakness,
favoritism, even folly. Indeed, justice
is the other side of the shield Of love.

There are certain realities revealed
about heaven on which it ia profitable
to mediate. While God has not told
US many particulars of the future life,
He has made known what is necessary
in order that we may prepare for it.
1t is certain that there is such a place.
The risen body of the Saviour was re-
ceived up into heaven. Christ's re
deemed ones are to be there. Father,
I will that they also whom Thou hast
given Ne be with Ne where / am" AS
the Father heareth Him always, it is
certain that we shall be with Jesus.
What an amazing and inspiring truth,
that the Saviour desires to have us
with Himl Ungrateful, imperfect as
we are, He has declared to His Heav-
emily Father that He desires to have US
with Him that we may behold His
glory. What q call for gratitude and
for effort to do His will! Every minor
motive should be absorbed in the higher
motive of preparing ourselves for that
divine companionship. The joy Of
heaven will be the presence of the glo
rlfed Redeemer. He who does not en-
Cd 0y HIS spiritual presence here is not
fitted to enjoy seeing Him face to face
IN heaven. The redeemed will form q
society in heaven. This follows from
the social nature of man, and is init
mated by the figurative language used
IL refert nee to heaven: ''In Ny Fathers
house are many mansions. l go to
prepare q place for you" as memory
will not be biotted out, redeemed
friends will recognize one another and
renew their intercourse purified from
all imperfec lions. AS Moses and Elias,
! whose lives we're separated by many
years, converted together on the mount
90 saints Of diff ages will doubtless
converse IN heaven. The work of do
ing Gods will, begun on earth, will
doubtless be continued in heaven To
glorify God Wilt be- the work of ell.
The particular service which will be
required are not revealed We know
but little of what God has prepared for
them that love Him, but we know
enough to stimulate us to the most
earnest Efforts to prepare for the life
that is to come. That preparation is
found in holiness of heart. For there
shall not enter into that holy place
that which deileth, or worketh abomi-
nation, or maketh q lie.-Sel.
