What pleasure it is to dwell in
this mountain home-all alone!
What joy to think of in the com
ing years when we shall have left
our pleasant mountain home be-
low
Wen dwell with God and the
angels high-up in the sky.
We1l have joy for ever and ever
with angels round that blessed
throne-on high.
Wen have nothing to do but to
sing praises and psalms unto our
God, who doeth all things well.
What joy to think on, as we
pass along the pathway of life
Joy to think how happy we shall
be, when we get home above, and
have left this toilsome world and
are. with the saints of the Lord
never to part--never to sever.
Wen have pleasure for ever and
ever. Joy and peace and pleas
ure. No fighting nor quarreling
in that home of the Lord.
All will be peace and quietness
in that home above where our
dear Jesus dwells today. What
Joy it will be to think there will
be peace and love and harmony
forever?
In that home on high, it will
not be like it is on earth. If we
wish to enjoy all these blessings
we must exercise more love and
not so much hatred to each other.
Some persons think they can
be christians and serve the devil
half the time-just so they have
their names on the church book
here on earth. l fear such will
fail to find their names written
in the Lambs Book of Life in
heaven, unless they serve the
Lord more perfectly and forsake
the devil.
eff we hate one another on earth
we cannot be my disciples, saith
the Lord"
We must love one another as
our Heavenly father loves us, or
we cannot enter the kingdom of
God. Now, my friends, in con-
clusion, turn from your lniquit-
Gus ways and live a righteous life
and be saved in heaven.
If not, you will be cast down to
hell, where the worm dieth not
and the fire is not quenched-
there to burn forever in that
dreadful hell prepared for the
devil and his angels. But, if you
repent, you shall be saved and
you will be forgiven of your wick
edness. You must strive daily
and love one another devotedly,
and there will be hope for you in
the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. But if you hate your
brother there is no hope for you
in Christ, for he that says he
loves God and hates his brother
is liar; and no liar will inherit
the kingdom of God. If he loves
not his brother whom he has
seen, how can he love God whom
he has not seen? He says, Little
children love one another; be kind
and affectionate one toward an
other. Kind words never die.
Be humble. He that would
borrow, turn him not away emp
ty, but give him such things as
he needeth and God will reward
you in the end. Be kind to the
poor, feed the hungry and clothe
the naked. Try to be faithful to
the end and God will bless you.
If your fellow man, God will hold
you responsible for your mis-
doings and you will be brought
to Judgment for your dishonesty;
for it is not right to defraud one
another. Be kind and good, and
try to live together in peace and
harmony, as we haven't many
years in this life to live together.
Let us all do the best we can in
