Many Ivory Palaces.

But. though there may be many
ivory palaces" in heaven odorous with
the myrrh and the aloes and the cassia.
l fear that some of us who are invited
to be AT the wedding ceremony may
notsbe present. 1t is one thing to get
an invitation to the marriage ceremony
1t is another to be there Shall we at
this moment say to our Divine Bride
groom: Jesus. thoIf Prince. we will
not love thee: we will not unite with
thee: we shall not live with thee in
an ivory palace of heaven since we
have not lived with thee on earth"
Shall it he that all our dear ones who
have gone beyond. who are waiting to
listen to our nuptial vows with Christ
in the ivory palace of heaven. shall have
to wait for us in vain?
Surprising you refuse to meet the
Divine bridegroom at the marriage al
tar of heaven. what will Jesus do?
What will your loved ones, your wife
and mother and father and little child
who have gone beyond-what will they
all do? Surprising. when you were

refused TO appear. What would you
have done: oh" you say. that was
impossible. She loved me too much
not to have met me there" Can it be,
o would be bride of Christ. that you
love Jesus any less than your loved
one loved you?
Lead on. Saviour. Lead on, Even
now we may hear the wedding chimes
ringing for the nuptials in the ivory
palaces of heaven.
How long. oh. Heavenly Bridegroom
How long dost thou delay?
And yet how few are grieving
That thou dost absent stay!
Thy very bride her portion
And calling hath forgot
And seeks for ease and pleasure
Where thou her Lord. art not
Awake. We slumbering virginsl
Send forth the solemn cry.
Let all the saints repeat it
The Bridegroom draweth nigh
Let all our lamps be burning
Our loins we'll girded be.
Each eager heart expecting
With joy thy face TO see.
