ter than aIl-GOd will introduce uS We shall have them all pointed out.
 You would not be guilty of the impo-
 Ilteness of having friends in your par
 for not introduced, and celestial po-
 likeness will demand that we be made
 acquainted with all the Heavenly
 household. What rehearsal of old
 times and recital of stirring reminis-
 cences! If others fail to give intro-
 ductiOn, God will take us through, and
 before our first 24 hours in Heaven-
 If 1t were calculated by earthly time-
 pleces-haye passed we shall meet and
 talk with more Heavenly celebrities
 than in our entire mortal state we met
 with earthly celebrities. Many who
 made great noise of usefulness will sit
 on the last seat by the front door of
 the Heavenly temple, while right up
 within arms reach of the Heavenly
 throne will be many who, though they
 could not reach themselves or do great
 exploits for God, nevertheless held tho
 rope.
 Come, let us go right up and accost
 those on the circle of Heavenly
 thrones. Surely they must have killed
 in battle million men. Surely they
 must have been buried with all the cathedrals sounding dirge and all the towers of all the cities tolling the national grief. Who art thou, mighty one of Heaven? ''I lived by choice the
 unmarried daughter in humble homo
 that l might take care of my parents in their old age, and I endured with"
 out complaint all their querulousnesS and administered to all their wanta
 for 20 years" Let us pass on round the circle of thrones. Who art thou, mighty one of Heaven? T was for
 30 years a Christian invalid and suf- fered all the while, occasionally writ- ing a note of sympathy for those worse off than l, and was general con- fidant of all those who had trouble, and once in awhile l was strong enough to make a garment tor that poor family in the back lane" Pass on to another throne. Who art tho1t, mighty one of Heaven? q was the mother who raised a whole family of children for God, and they are out in the world Christian merchants, Chris tian mechanics, Christian wives, and have had full reward for all my toil." Let us pass on in the circle of thrones. q had Sabbath school class and they were always on my heart, and they all entered the kingdom of God, and I am waiting for their ar- rival" But who art thou, the mighty one of Heaven on this other throne? ''In time of bitter persecution owned a house in Damascus, a house on tue wall. A man who preached Christ wns bounded from street to street and I hid him from the assassins, and when l found them breaking into my house and l could no longer keep him safe ly I advised him to flee for his life, and a basket was let down over the wall with the maltreated man in it, and I was one who helped hold the rope" And I said: ''Is that all?" And he answered: That is all" And while I was lost in amazement I heard a strong voice that sounded as though it might once have been hoarse from many exposures, and triumphant as though it might have belonged to one of the martyrs, and it said: Not many mighty, not many noble are called, but God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not to bring to naught things which are, that no flesh should glory in His presence" And | looked to see from whence the voice came, and To! it was the very one who had said: "Through a window in basket was I let down by the wall.'
 Henceforth think of nothing as in- A little thing may decide your all. A Cunarder put out from for New York. It was we'll equipped, but in putting up stove in the pilot box a nail was driven too near the compass. You know how that nail would affect the compass. The ships officers. deceived by that distracted compass, put the ship 200 miles off her right course, and sudden ly the man on the lookout cried: Land ho!" and the ship was halted within a few yards of her demolition on Nantucket shoals. A siXpenny nail came near wrecking Cunarder. Small ropes hold mighty destinies.
 A minister seated in Boston at his table, lacking a word, puts his hand behind his head and tilts back his chair to think, and the ceiling falls and crushes the table and would have him. A minister in Jamaica at night, by the light of an insect called the candle fly, is kept from step- ping over a precipice hundred feet. F. " Robertson, the celebrated Eng 1
