Among the 114,00o words of Noah

sands Of words since then added to our
English vocabulary there is one out
mastering word the power of which
cannot be estimated, and it reaches so
far up and so far down, and that is the
| word come" 1t has drawn more peo-
pie away from the wrong and toward
the right than any word / now think
of. 1t has at times crowded all the
12 gates of Heaven with fresh arriv-
ais. 1t will yet rob the path of death
of the last pedestrians. 1t will yet
chime so loudly and gladly that all the
| tolling bells of sorrow will be drowned
with the music. 1t is piled up in the
Bibles climax and peroration: "And
the Spirit and the bride say, Come, and
let him that heareth say, Come and let
him that is athirst come" Have it on
the point of your pen, have it on the
] tip of your tongue. Monosyllables are
mightier than polysyllables, and that
word come" is the mightiest of mon
osyllables.
| After the resurrection day and all
| Heaven is made up, resurrected bod
les joined to ransomed souls, and the
4 gates which were so long open are
shut there may be some day when
all the redeemed may pass in review
before the great white throne. If so,
think the hosts passing before the
King will move in different divisions.
With the first division will pass the
mighty ones of earth who were as
good and useful as they were great.
In this division will pass before the
throne all the Martin Luthers, the
John Knoxes, the Wesleys, the Rich
ard Cecils, the Millions, the Chrysos-
toms, the Herschells, the Lenoxes,
the George Peabodys, the Abbot Law,
rences and all the consecrated Chris
tian men and women who were great
in literature, in law, in medicine, in
philosophy, in commerce.. Their
genius never spoiled them. They
were as humble as they were gifted
or opulent. They were great on
earth, and now they are great in
Heaven. Their surprising and mag
nificent talents were all used for the
worlds betterment. AS they pass in
review before the King on the great
white throne to higher and higher
rewards it makes me think of the
parable of the talents: "To another
ten" l stand and watch the other
divisions as they go by, division after
division, until the largest of all the
divisions comes in sight. 1t is a hun
dred to one, thousand to one, ten
thousand to one, larger than the
other divisions. 1t is made up Of
men who never did anything but sup
port their families and give whatever
OF their limited means they could
spare for the relief of poverty and
sickness and the salvation of the
world, mothers who took good care
of children by example and precept
starting them on the road to Heaven,
millions of Sabbath school teachers
who sacrificed an afternoons siesta

making of homes for themselves that
