MANILA, April 20. 1904.
Much of the sympathy extended to the
people who are required to live in Manila
is wasted, for 1t is a much more agreeable
and comfortable place of residence than is
popularity supposed. 1t is quite as pleasant
as New Orleans, which it resembles in sew
eral particulars. The climate is no worse,
the temperature is seldom so high, society
is quite as congenial for educated and re-
fined people and the amusements and diver
sions are as numerous and enjoyable If
you fancy that Manila is a desert or
Botany bay or a gloomy dungeon, you need
only stroll out to park called the Luneta
any evening about sunset and watch the
thousands of people who gather there every
night to hear the band play and visit
OF course there are drawbacks Manila
is not paradise by any means, and much
needs to be done to bring 1t up to a level
with modern cities. The improvements
slow, but they are sure and important and

Exact Equality in Heaven, But Diff ferences of BIessedness and Dignity-Places of Honor
 Are Designated.

At the Adams Street Baptist Church yesterday morning, the pastor, pr. O. F. Gregory, preached an interesting sermon to a large congregation.
 Dr. Gregory took as the subject of his discourse Mathew 2O-23.
 "Ye shall drink of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and my left, is not mine to give, but 1t shall be given to them for whom 1t is prepared of my Father"
 After an exposition of the passage lead ing to these words of Christ, .Dr. Grcg- ory announced as his theme. ''The doc Urine of degrees in glory. and the prin- ciple upon which the difference Is to be regulated
 There will be exact equality in Heav- en. but difference of blessedness and of dignity. The text declares there are such places as right and left hand" places of honor Heaven is not on dead level; everything in the tribes of Israel The faithful receive rule over two cities, over five. over ten.
 His teaching does not interfere with our Redeemer's merits. The imputed righteousness of Christ gives every Christian exactly the same title to Heaven, but does not give every man the same soul for enjoyment. Each will have all or Heaven he Is capable of holding filling or enjoying.
 Each remains his individual self, with his powers and characteristics exactly what his spiritual life on earth made him.

 When paupers become millionaires by wishing he was rich; when parsonage Is built by wishing we had one: when an ignoramus standing In a library by wish ing gets contents of the books in his head. there will be some hope that you will get to heaven simply because you want to so there too
 Does desire lead to the condition at tracted by the bliss and biessedness of heaven, but does the holiness draw you, do you love the Lord Jesus, do you prove your love by being pure and living close to Him, here and now; can you drink the cup?
 Christ submitted to the eternal law that preparation lies through suffering Though He was a son yet learned He obedience, and became obedient unto death, even the death of tho cross, wherefore also God hath highly exalted him. 7 pr.
