". HIS FACE HEREAFTER.
We have hints as to what He is to be
ike in the hereafter. For God, who
commanded the light to shine out OF DARK
ness. hath shined IN our hearts, 10 give
the light OF the knowledge of the glory Oh
God in the face of Jesus Christ. - Cor.

sinner: For the rrelt day OF His wrath
is come; and who Shall be able to stand:'
-(Rev. vi: H. There was time when
as they smote Him they covered His face:
And some began to spit on Him, and to
cover His face, and to buffet Him, and say
unto Him, Prophesy: and the servants did
strike Him with the palms OF their hands.
Mark xiv: 65.) But not now. His eyes
pierce His beholders through and through,
and their unforgiven sins in awful process
sion pass by. The cry of the lost soul IS
Mountains and rocks, fall upon us, and
hide us from His face" And l saw

heaven fled away; and there was found no
place for them" (Rev. xX: H. Tbs pas
sage gives another touch to the picture,
and what a change there is, Once there
was in that ia .e that which brought little
children to Him. and made women, love

We have had these experiences, which
have been like single notes dropped from
the songs of heaven. But they shall be
gathered all together there in one grand
anthem Of praise, and we snail be hiled

We have also some hints as to how this
vision shall affect us when we see Him.
John SAYS: 81 fell at His feet as dead. p
Rev. ii: II. 1t is supposed that the vision
was so startling the face so sublime. Just
as men in this world are overpowered be-
cause of some wonderful experience, SO
John fell before Him in the skies.
The TRANSPORTATION scene is another rep.

answered Peter and said unto Jesus, Lord.
