Meeting on the Other Shore.
There was romance as well as Chris
tian be auty in the life of DIR. Adoniram
Judson, the Baptist missionary, when
he concluded to part from his wife, she
to come to America to restore her
health, he to go back to Burmah to
preach the gospel. They had started
from Burmah for the United States to-
gether. but, getting near St Helena.
Mrs. Judson was so much better she
said: well, now can get home very
easily. You go back to Burmah and
preach the gospel to those poor people.
I am almost we'll I shall soon be well,
and then will return to you" After
she had made that resolution, terrific
in its grief. willing to give up her
husband for Christ's sake, she sat
down in her room and with trembling
hand wrote some eight or ten verses,
four of which I will now give you:
I'VE part on this green is1et, love
Thou for the eastern main;
for the setting sun, love;
Oh, when to meet again!
when we knelt to see our Henry die
And heard his last faint moan,
Each wiped away the others tears;
Now each must weep alone.
And who can paint our mutual joy
When, all our wandering Ger,
We both shall clasp our infants three
At home on Burmah's shore?
"But higher shall our raptures glow
On yon celestial plain
When loved and parted here below
Meet ne'er to part again."
She folded that manuscript, a re-
lapse of her disease came on, and she
died. DR.. Judson says he put her
away for the resurrection on the isle of
st. Helena. They had thought to part
for year or two. Now they parted
forever. so far as this world is con-
cerned. And he says he fastened on
board after the funeral with his little
children to start for Burmah, for the
vessel had already lifted her sails. And
he says, "I sat down for some time in
my cabin my little children around
me crying, Mother, motheri' And I
abandoned myself to heartbreaking
grief. But one day the thought came
across me as my faith stretched her
wing that we should meet again in
heaven, and / was comforted.''
Was it. my friends. all delusion?
When he died, did she meet him at the
landing? When she died, did the
scores of souls whom she had brought
to Christ and who had preceded her to
heaven meet her at the landing? +
believe it, know it. Oh, glorious con-
ISOLATION, that when our poor work on
earth is done and we cross the river
we shall be met at the landingi
But there is a thought that comes
over me like an electric shock Do

you, the text says, tAnd there went
over the ferryboat to carry over the
kings household" and none but the
kings household. Then I ask, do I
belong to the household? Do your"
If you do not, come today and be
adopted into that household "Oh,"
says some soul here, 81 do not know
whether the King wants me!'' He
does; he does. Hear the voice from
the throne, Il will be father to them,
and they shall be my sons and daugn-
tiers, saith the Lord Almighty" Him
