the health of Heaven. For we are to
remember that we are living in COM

that ages of light and love are to flow
on. If this be so, the multitudes of the

OF happiness; but what do we know
about happiness? Happiness in this
world Is only half-fedge thing: a
howery path, with n serpent kissing

the water has dropped before we could

us understand the joy of Heaven, the
Bible takes us to a river. We stand on
