Hearers. Readers. Another chance
in the next world means free license
aud the demolition of this. Suppose
you had ease in court, and all the
judges and all the attorneys agreed in
telling you the first trial Of tit
would be tried twice-thc first trial
would not be ofvcry much importance,
but the second trial would decide
everything. On which trial would
you put tho most expenditure? On
which trial would you employ the
ablcst counsel? On which trial would
YOU be most anxious to have the at
tendance of all the witnesses? "Oh, :"
you would say, if there are to be two
trials, and the first trial does not
amount to much, the second trial be-
ing everything, everything depending
upon that, must have the most clo-
uucnt attorney, and | must have all
my witnesses present, and will ex-
pend my money Oh that" If these
men who are impcnitcnt and who are
wicked felt there were two trials, and
the first was Of no very great impor-
tancc, and the second trial was the
one of vast and infinite Importance, all
the preparations for eternity would be
post mortem. post funeral, post sepul-
chral, and this world would be jerkcd
off into impcnitency and godlcssness.
Another chance i'll another world
means the demolition OF this world.

SO many chances il this? Suppose
