In Heaven.

Plenty of occupation in heaven.
suppose Broadway, New York, in the
busiest season of the year at MONDAY

Grand projects of mercy for other
worlds Victories to be celebrated.
The downfall of despotism on earth to

tears to be wiped away, there are so
many burdens to life, there is so much
to be achieved for Christ, we some

airy to the last of December we could
toll on without stopping to sleep or
to take any recreation or to rest or
even to take food-that we could toll

almost every account of the Bible gives
the idea that the characteristic OF that
day will be a great sound. | do not

the mausoleum where silence has
reigned a thousand years that voice
must penetrate. In the coral cave Of
