among the worshipers. So we are allow |
ed to hear only one bar Of the music and |
to see one fold Of its upholstery and catch |
one glimpse of its towers | can make |
only a rough draft of your celestial resi- (
dence, but / 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 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 fire large enough
to attract the attention of that world or
lift a lens powerful enough to see any
response interstelar 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
as this and thus communication with it
would be debaSing. But | rejoice to
know that heaven is in touch with other
worlds for their improvement and a
depot for glorious arrivals. 1t is a thor
Oughfare between this world and that
world and a coming and going perpetual
Going out of this world is as natural as
coming into it, but the one is with pang
and the other is with rapture if we are
fitted for the uplifting process. 1t shall
be well with you. Now, do not get so
frightened about that asthma or that
cough or that influenza or that threatened
pneumonia. The worst thing that fatal
disease can do is to usher you into cOro-
nation and enforcement. 1t shall be
well with you. Take as good care of
your health as you can, have all sani-
tary laws, keep in this world as long as
you are permitted to stay and then when
the heavenly call comes be glad to go.
! do not care much about what your
last words" are going to be. People
put too much emphasis on last words. "
would rather know what your words
are now, in days of health and with mem
tai faculties in full play-yOur words Of
kindness, your words of sympathy, your
words of helpfulness, your words of
prayer. So live that if you say not a
word during the last day of your life
there will be no doubt here about the
place of your destination. You will &C
right into sanity, prophetic, evangelis
I tic, apostolic, cherubic, seraphic, archan
gelic, deific presence.
1t shall be well with you. Mother
