Even Heaven Must Change.

Again, / remark that heaven has vastly
improved in knowledge. Give man 40
or % years TO study ono science or all sci
cnccs, with all the advantages of labora-
tories and obscrvatories and philosophio
apparatus, no will be n marvel of inforna-
ton. Now, into what intelligence must
heaven mount, angclhood and sainthood,
not after studying for 40 OF 80 years, but
for thousands of years-studying God and
the soul and Immortality and the universal
How the intelligence of that world must
sweep on and on, with eyesight farther
reaching than telescope, with power of
calculation mightier than all human math-
ematics, with powers of analysis surpass-
ing all chemical laboratory, with speed
swifter than telegraphy! What must heav-
en- learn with all these advantages In n
month, in year, in n century, in q mil
lennium? Tho difference between tho
highest university on earth and tho small
est class in primary school cannot be u
greater difference than heaven as IL now
is and heaven as IL once was, Do you not
suppose that when DIR, James Simpson
went up from the hospitals Of Edinburgh
into heaven he knew moro than ever the
science of health, and that Joseph Henry,
graduating from the Smithsonian ins titu-
tlon INTO nthNtI, NWOht INTO ilHnCr realms
Of philosophy, and that Sir William Ham
ilton, lifted to loftier sphere, understood
better the construction Of the human in.
tellect, and that John Milton took up
higher poetry in the actual presence Of
things that ON earth he had tried to de-
scribeY When the first saints entered
heaven, they must have studied only the
A B C of the full literature Of wisdom
with which they are now acquainted.
Again, heaven Is vastly improved In its
Society, During your memory how many
exquisite spirits have Como into itS II you
should try to make n list Of all the genial,
loving, gracious, blessed souls that you
have known, 1t would be n very long list
souls that have gone into glory. Now,
do you not suppose they have enriched tho
society," Have they not improved heavenY
You tell of what heaven did for them.
Have they done nothing for heavenf Take
oil the gracious souls that have gone out
Of your acquaintanceship and add to them
all the gracious and beautiful souls that
for 800 or 900 years have gone out Of oil
tho cities and all the villages and all the
countries of this earth into glory, and how

improvements In Heaven.

That brings me tO tho fIrSt thought Ct
my thcmc--that heaven is vastly improved
in numbers. Noting little under this head
about the multitude of adults who have
gone into glory during the last 100 or BOO
or ,000 wears, l remember there are 1000,
00o,o 900 of people in the world, and that
the vast majority of people die in infancy
How many children must have gone into
heaven during the last 400 or 1000 years.
II New York should gather in one genera
ton 100000 population, II London
should gather in ono generation 1000, uOu
population, what u vast increase. Bus
what mcro nothing as compared with
the 500. 600, 900, tho 1900, 900, 900, the
multitude that no man can number
that have gone into that city. OF course
all this takes Tor granted that every child
that dies goes rs straight into heaven ms
ever the light speed from star, and that
is ono reason why heaven will always be
fresh and bcautiful-the great multitude
of children in it. Put 100000, 900 chill
dren in country, it will be blessed and
lively country.
But add TO this, IL you will, the great
multitude of adults who have gone into
glory, and how the census of heaven must
run up. Many years ago clergyman
stood in New England pulpit and said
that he believed that the vast majority Of
the race would finally be destroyed, and
that not more than ono person out OF 1900
persons would be finally saved. There
happened to bo about 1900 people in the
village where he preached. Next sabbath
two persons were heard discussing the
subject and wondering which one OF the
1900 people in the village would finally
| reach heaven, and enc thought ii would
! be tho minister, and the other thought it
would be tho old deacon. Now, | have
not much admiration for n lfehoat which
will go out TO sinking ship with 1000

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-All out of the
usual line of sermonizing is this story of
DIR. Talmagc concerning the next world
and it may do good to see things from u
novel standpoint. Tho text Is Revelation
xxi, 1, And SAW u new heaven"
The stercotyped heaven does not make
adequate impression upon us. We need
the old story told in new style in order to
arouse our appreciation. l do not suppose
that we are compelled t. tho old phrase
ology. King James translators did not
exhaust all tho good and graphic words in
the English dictionary. suppose If we
should take the idea of heaven and trans
latc it into modern phrase we would find
that It's atmosphere Is combination of
early June and of the Indian summer in
October-a place combining tho advan
tages of city and country, the streets stand
ing for the ono and tho IL manner of fruits
for the other; IA place of musical enter

doxologios; q place of wonderful architco.

other; all botanical, genealogical, orni.

and grandeur.
But my idea now Is to speak chiefly of
the improved heaven. People sometimes
talk of heaven as though it were an cid
city, finished centuries ago, when | have
to tell you that no city on earth during
the last 80 years has had such changes as
heaven. 1t is not tho Same place as when
Job and David and Paul wrote of 1t. For
hundreds and hundreds of years 1t has
been going through peaceful revolution,
and year by year, and month by month,
and hour by hour, and moment by moment
1t is changing, and changing for some
thing better. Away back there was only
ono residence in the universe-the resi-
dence of the Almighty. Heaven had not
yet been started. immensely was the park
all around about this great residence, but
Gods sympathetic heart after a while over
flowed in other creations, and there cam,
oil through this vast country OF immensely
inhabited villages, which grew and On.

that he gave it up.

1-When all of the provisions of the Will
relating to the income of the fund in
question are construed in relation to each
other SO as to give meaning and effect to
every clause and phrase, it becomes clear
that lit was the intention of the testator,
not to make an absolute gift to the
brothers and sisters of the whole income
as it accrued, but to give them the right
to receive so much of the income from
comfort and support; and ii not all need
ed for that purpose DIT should be allowed
to accumulate in his hands. They also
acquired the right ito receive, from time
to time. such part of the accumulation of
unexpended income as might be needed
for their support; but they aid not ac-
quire a vested interest in the whole In
come, and the unexpended accumulation
did not become the property of either of
them during life and did not pass to his
or her representative.
2-The residuary clause creating the
trust IN flavor of an academy as not OBJ
noxious to the rule against s1perpetuity"
the testator and the operation of law the
conditions of the trust respecting the APP
pOintment of academy trustees would
necessarily be fulfilled within the pre-
scrfbed time. With respect TO this objec-
tdOn the clause is not distinguishabte
from the ordinary direction Of testator
for the appointment of executors.
The entire income, as we'll as the prin-
csple OF the estate. is payable TO the frus-
tees under the residuary clause in the
will.
