The rain crept up Market street and
the hills started caying in Then
those who had laughed at Noah ran

not be saved by trusting themselves.
Big. Difference.
Suppose would go home and blow
the gas on instead OF turning II out.
Then j would close the doors and win
dows and 20 to sleep. Then when |
would awaken by the choking gas l
would sprinkle perfume over the
floor, myself. Nell and the children
and 20 to sleep again. That would
not work.

you white and you want to white

Mothers will meet their children there.
Heaven will be everlasting and free

Wouldn't Wheeling be a grand
place TO live In II some OF the people
who reside here would either die. bs

or undertakers. They will be of no
use in Heaven. There will be nothing
there that we will not know about.
In eternity our knowledge will be per-
feet.
