The Music of Heaven.

tiers OF eternity beat time in the music.
Away, then, with your starveling
tunes that chill the devotions of the
sanctuary and make the people sit ST.
lent when Jesus is marching on to
victory. When generals come back
from victorious wars, do we not cheer
them and shout, "Huzza, huzza?" And
when Jesus passes along in the con-
quest of the earth, shall we not have
for him one loud, ringing cheer?
"All hail the power of Jesus name!
Let angels PROSTATE fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all"
But, my friends, if music on earth is
so sweet, what will it be in heaven
They all know the tune there. All
the best singers of all the ages will
join it-choirs of white robed children,
choirs of patriarchs, choirs of apos
ties. Morning stars clapping their
cymbals. Harpers with their harps.
Great anthems of God roll on! roll
Eon.-other empires joining the har-
mony till the thrones are all full and
the nations all saved. Anthem shall
touch anthem, chorus join chorus, and
all the sweet sounds of earth and heav-
en- be poured into the ear of Christ.
David of the harp will be there. Ga
brial of the trumpet will be there.
Germany redeemed will pour it's deep
bass voice into the song, and Africa
will add to the music with her match
less voices. I wish in our closing
hymn today we might catch an echo
that slips from the gates. Who knows
but that when the heavenly door opens
today to let some soul through there
may come forth the strain Of the jubi-
liant voices until we catch it? Oh.
that as the song drops down from
heaven it might meet half way a song
coming up from earth.
They rise for the doxology, all the
multitude Of the blest! Let us rise

The Boer war he regards as the working
of Gods plans, and says that il is the first
step toward the downfall Of England.
Later, he says, other nations will become
involved, and wal will become general all

become our principal antagonist, not on
account of the German people. for he says
they are friendly toward us, but on account
OF the Emperor. He says the Emperor Is
behind the trouble in Turkey. and that he
will be largely responsible for plunging the
whole world into a war. In the end. he
SAYS, there will be but two flags, those of
the united States and Russia.
He says that the opening or the twentieth
