Rev. III. w. Moore.

At the Presbyterian church last
night the pastor spoke from the text.
And there was 30 more sea-" Rev.
XXI1. Part of the sermon IS as fol-
lows:
On the lonely dreary island of Pat
mos sat ST. John the apostle. Thither
he was banished by the Emperor
ones-him and human love and SYM
pathy rolled the turbulent, wide, rest
less sea. 1t was an impossible bar
rier. Invisible fingers swung open be-
fore Johns eye while there the glories
of the new Jerusalem-the redeemed
society-aud there John says "there
was no more sea- Nothing to separ
ate. No separation in the heavenly So
ciety.
The separation due to nationalities-
nations today are separated-hence
our different civilizations, customs,
races. How many misunderstanding
due to not knowing one another better.
But the time is coming when Gods
people shall be no longer separated,
but shall be united with a common Ian
guage, under one empire, one flag and
the whole world with it's variety of
race, color, tongues, with different
grades of civilization, myriad forms of
government shall bs reduced to one
realm united under one head, Obedient
to one God, and thank God there shall
be no separ alton due to personal differ
ences. What q gain that will be when
hate, anger, backbiting and strife shall
disappear. In conversation in politics.
religion men talk and separate enemies.
Think Of the family quarrels. Think
OF Mrs. A. not speaking to Mrs. B. for
years. Here is q business man who adj
joins stores with another business man.
They have not spoken for years. Some
people are always going around with
chip On their shoulders. Some people
oever have many friends because they
do not control an i'll temper. The sins
of disposition are greater than the sins
OF the body. Henry Drummond says
there is no form of vice not even world
illness. greed of gold or even drunken
ness that does more to unchristianize
society as an evil temper. For embit-
tering communities, breaking up most
relationships, as a misery pro-
ducing power it stands alone. Person

their fellowmen and you select essen

Oh let US try to heal the
broken riffs in friendship rather than
widen them. Blessed are the peace
makers. No more separation yonder.
d" And there was no more sea-
The separation due to creed is demo-
difference. Here we have
our different churches AS long as we
have different personalities, different
tastes, we will need different churches.
In the new Jerusalem we shall not
need them. True church unity is in
loving one another. each doing its own
work, yet gladly cooperating. Let Us
not waste time in pitching into other
churches. Let us fight tho in differ
ent regiments a common foe. Think
of the Eigh tenth regiment fighting
the Sixteenth regiment when We have
to meet Spain. a com mon foe. Oh no,
heaven is not q Baptist church or a
Methodist church or a Presbyterian
church. l think it is a composite
company from all churches. If the old
church leaders have been shaking
b ands in heaven for many year why
o OF get little closer together down
here. mo more sea''-no denOmina-
tiopal differences in the redeemed So
ciety.
No separations into classes yonder.
The curse of India is caste. Think of
the seven different castles cursing, kill

people. Not so in heaven. Oh, the
woes of poverty. In the hnvel the poor
man eats his crust. in the mansion the
rich man sits before grooming tables.
The law of supply and demand will not

for bringing together into one brother

No more separation yonder by death.
What a separator is death. Oh for
the vanished hand. Oh to hear once
more the voice that is stilled. Oh to
look into those glad eyes again. This
