Bro. Stoke of the BARTON COUNTY
DEMOCRAT had better steer clear of
Elmer Brodie for few days. His
little squib about the latter's ''pair''
of girls has started a report that
Elmer is the father of twins and the
county papers are all making that
statement as a serious fact. The
truth that Brodie has "pair" of
girls but they are over year apart
and arrived one at time. Elmer is

sire to break any record. The next

the manner in which the Beefers

From such a life. so limited, hampered,

AS between these earthly homes there is

spirit, and they are made perfect in one!

ing for a harbor L am afraid that many Of
US can remember the gloom which has fall
len upon our exuberant youth. when taught
that heaven was place Of eternal Sunday,
or that the saints are to have no occupation
there but the perpetual singing of psalms.
Such is the result, and a deserved result,
Of the best pictures your poor fancy can
paint, if you are bigot enough after the
fashion of creed-makers, to try to fix them.
and to say this is all just so. For its stim-
ulus, for its faith, FIR its hope, and for
perfect love, the soul wishes to enter not
your heaven, but its own. The Savior
knows this when He says, "In my Fathers
house are many homes
To the prisoner heaven is freedom. To
the wanderer it is his fathers house. To
the ignorant 1t is learning. To this poor,
lame boy to that weak, deformed girl it
is the rowing free through limitless exist
ence. To the slave it is world without
labor. To the weary ii is rest. To the SAN
guine it is action. To the doubtful it is
truth. To the struggling it is peace. To
the sick it is health. To him who is care
worn. distressed, pulled hither and thither,
with not a moment he can call his own, 1t
is eternity; that is. it is life without time;
where there are no minutes, no hours, no
days and no years; no late, no early. no
tedious, no slow, no thought nor care for
time.
REST FOR ALL
Nor is II true that these conceptions OF
heaven weaken each other because they
thus contradict each other. Those who are
eager to find action in heaven need not
fear but there will be motive enough, effort
enough, in a life which reaches from one
side of eternity to the other. Duty there
must be where there are Gods children
with their Father. But this is the promise,
that whether the faithful spirit, sent on
some errand, pass from one end of heaven
to the other, or whether he sit at the foot
stool, as those do who serve while they
wait, there is no more wear and tear, no
more fatigue for him. He shall "rest from
his labors."
And this is the promise all along; the
spirit remains. but the limitation is gone
The mind could once be crarnped by fe-
vered brain, or by paralyzed fingers; but
now it is free! The soul may soar to the
top wing-beat of its noblest aspirations
and never outwear itself in it's effort; yet 1t
shall all the while be resting in its Faith

The willing soul keeps the tired body up to
the end of each long day; but they are

Straight over the fence they came.

They were over the fence there still!
