you will cone out in the garden of the
King. among orchards berGiug with -
manner of fruits and harvests that
wave in the light of sun that never
sets. AS the eight passengers of that
craft of Captain Noah never got over

ences. 50 YOU who have been the shut
ms of earth will add unbounded inter
est to the conversations of Heaven by
recalling and rccitirg your earthly eN-
periences. and the rou9hcr those eN-
perienccs the more thrilling will they
be TO yourself and others who listen.

and hear their story Of hattie or n
group of sailors and hear their story of
cyclones we feel stupid because we have
nothing in our life worth telling. how
unintsrcsting will he those souls in
Heaven who had smooth sailing all
their lives and no accidents, while Noah
tells his story of the deluge, and Lot his
story of escape from destroyed cities.
and Paul his story of the AleNardrian
corn ship, and you tell your story of the
days and nights and wears Of the times
when you were shut in. You will be in

proportion as you are martyrized of
persecution and pain on earth. And
surely you do not want to get the adj
vantage of Heavenly association and
consideration without yourself adding
some interest to the interview. ! hail
all the shut ms because they will be
come outs. Heaven will he all the
brighter for your earthly privations
and environments. For n man who has
always lived in mansion. and walked
in fine gardens. and RECALLED his appetite
on the best fruits. and the warInest furs
for winter. coolest liners for August
heat. and brilliant earthly surround
ings, Heaven will not he SO much a
change of scene. He Will be disposed to
