Wipe All Tears Away.

We remember our RedeemerS tender
words. Come unto me all We that
labor and Te heavy laden. and ] will
give YOU rest" Those Of us who have
accepted his gracious invitation, and
obtained from him the rest of faith.
found that it meant to us the wiping
away of our tears. the cancellation in
a large degree Of our troubles. We.
then. should be able TO understand the
next statement Of the Prophet in our
text. "The Lord God will wipe away
tears from of all faces" 1t is the
same message given to us in Revela-
ton. where the same Kingdom. under
the figure of the New Jerusalem, is
brought TO our attention. It will be
the Heavenly Father who will wipe
away the tears, not directly but indi-
rectly through his Son. the Redeemer.
More and more as we come to an un-
derstanding Of the grace Of God. as
Illustrated in his divine plan of the
ages. we come to realize that "all
things are of the Father and all things
are by the Son"-that the two, while
distinctly separate, are also distinctly
one in love. in sympathy. and in CO.
operating in the work of relief which
has already begun in the Church. and
which ultimately is to extend to the
world during the Millennium.
Tears are the marks Of sorrow, pain,
suffering; and the poetic statement
that God himself will wipe away the
tears of mankind is a beautiful and
forceful suggestion Of how the pOt0er of
the Highest is shortly to be employed,
not in the eternal torment Of the world,
but In its blessing, its uplifting, the
wiping away of its tears and sorrows.
When we remember that there are no
tears in heaven. and that the joys of
that blessed state are because Of its
sinlessness, our hearts overflow with
thanksgiving as we catch the poetic
thought included in the assurance
that all sin. and all sorrow as the re-
suit of sin. and all tears and marks OF
sorrow, will forever pass sway in that
happy day. Truly we may be glad aud
rejoice and give honor to our God as
we see his righteous dealings with our
race manifested-as the clouds and
shadows fee away and permit the sun
shine Of divine love and grace to take
their proper places before the eyes Of
our understanding.
Let no one imagine that this signifies
anirersal salratiOn. Other Scriptures
show US that while universal oppor-
tunity for salvation viii be accorded,
none except those who avail them
selves of It by a hearty acceptance Of
the Divine arrangement. and hearty
to the laws Of the Kingdom
these only will get the great blessing
of life eternal only their tears will
forever be wiped away All others. |

On cold or stormy days, after the
school hours are over and household
tasks are done, Lucy turns with a

she amuses herself by making mecca
sins for her funny babies, or making
dresses for them from bits of bright
calico, which perhaps some child in

her pebble tops, of which she has a
number hidden away in the pocket of
her dress. tucked away in the corner
of her pigeon-hole in the row of boxes
in the play-room or buried safely un-
der the steps. 1t is only a common
pebble, with smooth sides, and q
white child would never call it a top;
but Lucy drops it with a little whirl
of the fingers, which sends it away
with dizzy rush, and she follows it
up with her whip, lashing it until she
is out Of breath. the pebble whirling
