Lord Jesus Christ shall at last stalb
out before the multitudes OF the N-
deemed Of heaven. and we meet H1
face to face. and feel that He vas
wounded I'm the mead and wounded IN
the hands and wounded in the feet aSd
wounded in the side for us, methinks
we will be overwhelmed. We will sit
some time gazing In silence, until soms
leader amidst the white-robed choir
shall lift the baton of light, and givr
the signal that II is time to wake TIM
song of jubilee, and all heaven win
then break forth into:

and what your soul is worth, by seeing
immortal soul, the richest blood that
was ever shed. the deepest groan that
was ever uttered, all the gricfs OF
earth compressed into one tear,

One would have thought that a wall OF
granite would have done. No: il is

song. If the ages Of heaven marched
in a straight line, some day the last
regiment, perhaps, might pass out OF
sight: hut, no. the ages of heaven do
not march in straight line but in a
circle around about the throne of God;
