THE SIZE OF HEAVEN.
Biblical Assurance That There Will Be
Ample Room for All. !.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Taking verse from Revelation as the
basis of computation. some Industrious and
probab bly, uneasy fellow has again been fig
uring on the dimensions Of heaven. The
text is in XIV, 81. and reads as follows:
"And he measured the city with the reed,
1900 furlongs. The length and the breadth
and the hghth of 1t are equal" He con-
cludes that this represents space of 469.-
7S3 0SS 900. 600. 600. 600 cubic feet. The enter
prising statistician sets aside one-half Of
this space for the throne and the court of
heaven, and one-half of the balance for
streets. which would leave remainder Of
124 19S 272 900. 900. GOO 600 cubic feet.
He then proceeds to divide this by 4,096,
the number of cubical feet in a room 16
feet square, and this process gives him
30,321 .SA3, 49, 100000 rooms Of the size in
dicated. He then proceeds upon the
hypothesis that the world now contains. al
ways has contained. and will always con-
tain 99O.O0O,O00 inhabitants and that a gen.
Grafton lasts for 33ls years, which gives
total number of inhabitants every century
Of 2c97, 100000. He assumes that the world
Will stand 1000 centuries, or 100000 years.
which would give total of 100000, 600 $50
Inhabitants for this period of time
He then reaches the reassuring conclu-
sion that if 100 worlds of the same size and
duration. and containing the same num-
Der Of inhabitants. should redeem all the
Inhabitants, there would be more
than 100 rooms OF the size indicated for
each person Many have not thought So
much about the size of heaven They have
probably always felt that there would be
ample room for those who would be
able TO get there. II lack of room We're
possible, in the divine order Of things,
1t would probably be at the other place.
judging from the pronouncements that are
made from time to time.
Room has never been matter of serious
consideration with men who have paused
long enough in the whirl of events to medi-
tate on the blessings which are to follow
g. life of righteousness The main question,
and the one in which all men are most
concerned is the simple question of the
shortest best and safest way. Put in diff
ferent language, they want to know how to
get there. and IL the studious statistician
will figure out some plan that will meet
with general satisfaction along this line.
