the size @ other worlds? This world
is only a school house for heaven. We
learn here only the A B c Of a higher
literature or the simple addition and
subtraction Of an infinite mathematics
and are practieing the eight notes OF
an eternal harmony The most inn
portant question any man ever asks is,
What will be my destiny2" Whittier
am I bound?" Where shall landg"

Journey" Now, child Of God. do not
worry about that. Il shall be well

The World Beyond This.
Some scientists are now discussing
the opening Of communication between
our earth and the planet Mars. Expert
ments are being made. but they will
not succeed. We cannot build a FIRE
large enough to attract Tie attention
Of that world or lift a lens powerful
enough to see any response interstel-
lar We do not positively know that
that world Is occupied by living be-
ings or that if it Is occupied communi-
cation with them would be desirable.
Il might not be so good a world as this.
and thus communication with it would
be debasing. But I rejoice to know
that heaven is in touch with other
worlds for their improvement and a
depot for glorious arrivals It Is a thor
oughfare between this world and that
world and a coming and going perpetu-
al. Going out Of this world Is as
natural as coming into 1t, but the one
Is with pang and the other is with rap
ture If we are fitted for the uplifting
process. 1t shall be well with you.
Now do not get 50 frightened about
that asthma or that cough or that in
huenza or that threatened pneumonia.
The worst thing that fatal disease can
do is to usher you into coronation and
enthronement It shall be well with
YOU Take as good care OF your health
as you can. have all sanitary 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
mental faculties in full play-your
words Of kindness. your words Of sym
pathy, your words Of helpfulness. your
words Of prayer So live that II you
say not word during the last day Of
your life there will be no doubt here
about the place Of your destination.
You will go right into sanity, pro-
phetic. evangelistic, apostolic. cherub-
ic, seraphic, archangelic. deifc pres
ence.
In Heaven.
It shall be well with you. Mother,
you will 90 right up into the possess
sion Of the babe that the scarlet fever
or Group took out OF your arms. a
sorrow that still stings you, and you
often say she would now be so many
years old II she had lived. You will
80 into the presence OF the old folks,
for / hope you are Of Christian ances-
try. and you will find that they have
nodimness OF sight.or halting gait that
requires a stan, for they have taken a
draft from the fountain OF perpetual
youth that springs from under the
throne Of God. Oh, the blissful com
pani0nship OF heaven in which you
shall enter It shall be we'll with you.

triumph. l like the way the sexton

him pulling the rope Of that bell. He
rings il a good while, so that every
farmhouse within five miles hears 1t.
He may halt a moment to take breath
and give the swet 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 he sits
and listens while his son rings the
church bell. So my text seems

the opening Of this discourse. L
hope to ring 1t as long as I live. and
may those who come after us keep on
ringing it till those farthest on from
God shall come into the great temple
Of gospel comfort and all the weary
put down their burdens at its altar ana

neither give nor take away. Three
