Going out OF this world is as natural as

of the old folks, for l hope you are of
Christian ancestry, n you will find that
they have no dimness of sight or hating
gait that requires 4 staff, for they have
taken a draft from the fountain of per-
petual youth that springs from under

like the way the sexton rings the bell of
the old country meeting house. l used
to stand and admire him pulling the rope
of that bell. He rings it a good while, so
that every farmhouse within five miles
hears it. He may halt a moment to take
breath and, give the sweet sounds time
to stir up all the echoes of the hills.
And when he is old and not strong
enough TO pull the rope any more, then ne
sits and listens while his son rings the
church bell. So my text seems a bell of
invitation and victory. l began to ring
it in the opening of this discourse. J
hope to ring it as long as 1 live, and may
those who come after us keep on ringing
it till those farthest off from God shall
come into the great temple of gospel
comfort and all the weary put down
their burdens at its altar and find that
peace which the world can neither give
nor take away. Three times more l ring
it. 1t shall be well! 1t shall be we'll.

mOSl iElpoTlanl QueSliOn any mdn ever
asks is, what will be my destiny 2"
whittier am l bound?" Where shall
land?" What is the terminus of this
short Journey" Now, child Of God, do
not worry about that. 1t shall be well
with you in your next state of existence.
We know but little about heaven. There
is but little concerning it in the Bible
and that is OF the last few pages and is
mostly %igurative. Do you know the rea-
son why? l suppose it is because if we
knew the full attractiveness Of that place
we would be untitled for our duties here.
We would feel that we were standing in
the vestibule Of a great Luxembourg and
would want to go right in and see the
glories; or, standing il the portico of a
temple, and would want to get inside
among the w~orshipers. So we are allow
ed to hear only cne bar of the music and
to see one fold Of its upholstery and catch
one glimpse of its towers. l can make
only a rough draft Of your celestial resi-
dence, but I can authoritatively state that
the world to which you are destined is a
big world, a brilliant world, a sinless
world, a joyful world, an endless world
and a world in touch with other worlds.
The World Beyond This.
Some scientists are now discussing the
opening of communication between our
earth and the planet Mars. Experiments
are being made. but they will not sue
coed. We cannot build a fire large enough
to attract the attention of that world or
lift a lens powerful enough to see any
response interstellar. We do not posi-
lively know that that world is occupied
by living beings or that if it is occupied
communication with them would be de-
sirable. 1t might not be so good a world
rs this, and thus communication with it
would be debasing. But I rejoice to
know that heaven is in touch with other
