What the Bible Teaches About Heayep

All we know about heaven we know from
the Bible. and we know all that we need
to know. We know enough to fill us with
happy confidence and exultant hopes. And
all we know is upon the authority of the
only being who ever came out OF heaven
to report to our humanity its character and
its glories. our Lord Jesus Christ.
For one thing, the Bible assures us that
in heaven there is room for everybody.
The Jewish rabbis used to declare that, no
matter how many hundreds of thousands
came NJ to Jerusalem at the great feasts.
the streets OF the city and the courts OF
the temple were never crowded. That
fancy is g,oriously true of the New Jeru-
SALEM
Our entrance to this wide heaven. the
Bible teaches, is by narrow way. There
Is only one door. In ancient days, when
the Christians were fighting the invading
Turks, mother, from the fortress, saw
her son returning from battle, defeated
and in swift retreat. She shut the gates
of the fortress and called to her son from
the battlements, You cannot enter ex-
cept as conqueror" At that heroic word
the son returned to the fray and trans
formed defeat into victory. We cannot en-.
ter heaven except as conquerors, yes, and
more than conquerors,' in Christ Jesus.
Probably the feature of heaven that is
dearest to most hearts is its freedom from
suffering and sorrow. Browning expressed
the universal anticipation:
but deep within my heart of heart there
hid
Ever the confidence, amends for all,
That heaven repairs what wrongs earth's
journey did"
No more lame feet or aching backs in
heaven! No more deaf ears or near-sighted
eyes or throbbing heads. All faces exqui.
site, all bodies strong and swift, all minds
clear, all spirits at peace! The wonder is
that so many, believing this, yet dread the
gates of death.
But to the sinner, weared with the long
struggle against temptation, saddened by
remOrse even while he is grateful Tor the
victories which Christ has won for him,
there is JOY in heaven far superior to the
absence of pain. Some little girls We're
telling their thoughts of heaven. To one
it was place OF lovely meadows and trees
to another, a great, golden city; Il third
thought of the singing, and still others, OF
the JOY and safety and plenty of the Gees
tial abodes But last of all spoke though-
full lass: Heaven; why, heaven, | think.
is just place where you're never sorry"
That's it exactly.
After all descriptions of heaven. even
the glowing visions of the Apocalypse,
there is one thought that always means
heaven to the Christian; it is where Christ
is. A little boy was once asked, Where
Is your home?' He didn't know what to
say, for his family had moved about great
deal, but he turned at last to his mother
and leaned against her, MY homes where
mother is" he said. Ii the love OF Chris.
has entered our hearts, then our heavenly
home is where He is. in the next world
and in this world alike.-Amos L. Wells,

A Noble African Woman,

A slave woman named Ogunro, living in
the country west of the Niger, ionged for
freedom and worked hard until she secured
It,. Then she Travelled to another region to
enjoy life.
There she was converted to Christ. This
longed for was to tell the Ilale people,
among whom she had been a slave, what
good things she had learned. She went
back to Hale, worked hard, earned money,
got a church built, and late in 1903 she
placed the church at the disposal of the
nearest Christian pastor.
The Church Missionary Intelligencer now
have been baptized through these efforts of
the ex-slave. 1t seems that AngloISaxons
have no monopoly on the strenuous life.
The Christian name given to Ogunro in
baptism was the appropriate one of Dor.

He Knows Best.

The outward features of our life may not
be all that we should choose them to be;
there may be things we wish for that never
come to us; there may be much we wish
away that We cannot part from. The per-
sons with whom we live, the circumstances
by which we are surrounded, the duties we
have to perform, the burdens we have to
bear, may not only be other than what we
should have selected for ourselves, but may
even seem inconsistent with that forma.
tion and discipline of character which we
better than we know ourselves, fully un.
derstanding how greatly we are affected
by the outward events and conditions of
life, God has ordered them with a view
to our entire and final, not only our i'm.
mediate, happiness; and whenever we can
be safely trusted with pastures that are
green, and waters that are still, in the way
of earthly blessing, the Good Shepher'
leads US there.-Arnold W. Thorold,

Among earth's millions of books
its divine authorship. That one has
been directly or indirectly the inspira
tion of the large majority of all other
good books. 1t has made its infu.
ence felt in every field of research
and in every department of the best
literature. Standing firm and true in
the way of every evil design, this book
has been a target for missiles from all
the foes of that which is good. Satan
and his allies of all ranks have hurled
their anathemas against it. Fiery,
fierce bombshells have fallen about
1t in showers. What OF it? Kings,
princes, scholars, scientists, philoso-
piers. all classes OF opposers have
turned their keenest and heaviest
weapons against this sacred volume.
What of 1t? The enemies go down
to dust and oblivion while the book
lives with undiministhed vitality.
God is in his book. Just how he
is there we cannot explain, for we dc
not fully understand. But the fact
is evident. With the spiritual ear
we can hear his voice. With the
spiritual vision we can know his pres.
ence. In the diamond fields of South
Africa diamond was found which
contains fly. Placed under mag.
nifying glass one may see in all its
brilliancy a little fly, body, wings,
eyes, and all in the most perfect state
of preservation. How 1t got there no
one can tell. nor can it be removed
by any human skill. So in the sacred
Scriptures we find God. That he can
not be removed is beyond question.

The. man whose life, outwardly all de.
feat, is steadily expanding in its interest
and sympathies. steadily growing in power
to bear and suffer and be strong, has the
blessed consciousness of coming into his
kingdom. No outward disaster, no exter.
nal obstacle or limitation, can ever defeat
a true life; the soul can escape all these
things as the bird escapes the peris of the
snare and the net by flying above them.
This highest success lies within the grasp
OF every earnest man or woman, and it is
rarely without attestation of its presence
and value, even in the eyes of those who
take small account of spiritual things.

them, penetrate to the heart of clouded
and obscure lives and minister to their
needs. There is no success so satisfying as
that which is embodied in ones character,
and being so embodied, cannot be taken
from him, and the influence of which, re.
acting on the character of others, is also
ructable.-Christian Union.

The Common Thinps.

The sunshine and the gentle rain,
The clear bird song that halls the morn.
The meadow land with flower stain,
-, The swayng banners of the corn,
The grass that whispers to the breeze
what common, common things are these!
The broad, blue mirror Of the lake
That smiles back at the sleeping sky:
Inc pillows, too, that icap and break
-. And fling their foamy jewels high;
The silver clouds that one by one
Toss back the lances of the sun.
lhe stars that blaze as Jewels blaze.
:. And make the world old mystery
While they, on their appointed ways,

Across unfathomed seas OF space
On paths that we but dimly trace
Al! these are common-brook and bird.
=. And rose of red. and meadow green:
SO common that they seem unheard,
SO common that they seem unseen,
And yet there is no day or night
But borrows all of their delight.
No common thing is held apart
From us, or pent with lock and KEY,
But IN the goodness OF His heart
They all are made for you and me,
II always seems God loves the best
Things He makes the commonest.
