Rank upon rank, choir beyond choir,
cloud above cloud, of the saved and
redeemed ones, singing the songs OF
Moses and the Lamb. Harmonies
rarer than our earth has ever
known; melodies sweeter than have
ever ravished our ears here below.
Every creature which is in heaven,
and on earth and under the earth
singing-eternities anthems, Holy,
Holy, Holy.
"A few years ago, the railroad
men were having a meeting in New
York city and an engineer was
speaking, and he said, Fellow la
borers, the word heaven is the
sweetest word in the English Ian
guage to me- He said when he
first started out on his run, and
made his first trip and that after
noon as he swung down through the
hills and across the valley, and as
he passed through the suburbs of
the town in which his parents lived,
he blew his whistle and rang the
bell, and the back door opened of
a little humble cottage, and an old
woman with her head ripening for
the cemetery waved her little hand,
and then looked back and said, Pa
pa, Bonnie is home He said after
awhile he had to take that old
mother and lay her over on the hill
side under the dirt. But the next
afternoon as he came down through
the suburbs of the town, he rang
the bell and blew the whistle as he
had done before, and an old man
stood at the door on the crutches
of decrepitude and waved his hand,
and said, Thank God, Bonnie is
home again He said, Boys, when
| open my throttle and start on my
final run, with the Bible for my
hand lamp and the ten command
ments for my schedule, and the
blood of Jesus Christ my orders, and
when | have run through the dark
tunnel of death, and finished on
schedule time, and have rolled into
the Grand Central Station, and the
Superintendent of the universe says,
Bonnie, well done, come up and
sign your payroll and receive a
check for eternal happiness and as
| pass through the gates where the
flower never withers and the rain
bow never fades, a city on whose
blissful streets there falls no shadow
and rests no stain, | believe that
there will be an old father and
mother that will shout. Thank God,
Bonnie is home, home at last.

MACK'S SERMON
Continued from page S.

You say when John speaks here in
the revelation of this wonderful
city, these flashing jewels and these
lowered over Him in the wilderness
and administered to Him in the
hour of crucifixion, and rolled away
the stone at the sepulchre, and
escorted him upward on Ascension
Day, they will all be there. And
those two angels that Jesus sent
back to his heart-broken Disciples
to tell them just as they had seen
him go away in the clouds, so He
was coming back in like manner;
they will be there. There, we shall
enjoy the companionship of all
these lofty intelligencies.
What a grand place old Rock
ingham would be if a lot of people
would only die or get converted, or
move away. l am glad that there
is one place where the black-wing-
ed vampire bat of edition will not
be and that is heaven. The lewd
vulgar and obscene will not be there,
the covetOus, avaraciOus, penuriOus,
sordid and selfish will not be there,
The back-biter, the knocker, Sian,
derer and liar will not be there,
The infidel and agnostic and bias
phemer will not be there; no money,
no influence, no wire-pulling, no
pan-handling and placating will get
them in.
Heaven will be a place of glad
reunion, for the Lord Himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout
with the voice of the Arch-angel,
and the trumpet of God, and the
dead in Christ shall arise first.
Then we which are alive shall be
caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air;
so shall we ever be with the Lord.
We have had our old soldiers re-
unions, neighborhood and family
reunions, but what a reunion we
will have in heaven; wife will meet
her husband, mother you will meet
your child, friend will meet friends,
and all those we love, and have been
separated from for years, there
we'll meet to part no more. Heaven
will be a place that is free from
everything that curses or mars our
life here. Wouldn't this be a grand
old world if it were not for lot
OF things in it9 The only thing that
makes North Carolina a decent
place to live in is the religion of
Jesus Christ. There is not a man
that would live in it if you took
religion out. Your great manufac-
turing plants would rot on their
foundations if there were no Chris
tan people of influence here. IT
there were no sin, poverty, pain,
want or death, this world
would be good, but these things mar
and well-night ruin this present

GREERBRIER VELVET ICE CREAM,
4 REAL. GOOD.

During the past four years science
and necessity have taught us many
things about food. Some things we
once thought indispensable as food
we have since found wholly unncc-
csSary. Others we thought Of only
as luXlnicS, We have found arc food
necessities.
Ice cream, Il short time ago. was
thought Of and used only as luxury
but during the war it was declared
bv the government to be IN essential
food. Science and actual expert
cncc in both home and hospital have
proven it to be necessary and very
nourishing food. The cream and
milk from which it is made contain
growth-promoting and hcaltll-glving
substances absolutely necessary to
child growth and the health of all
ages.
Ice cream SoothcS and norE'iShcS
the sick back TO health and strength,
becaus it is so easily digcstcd and
so rich in food value. 1t strengthens
and sustains the healthy of all ages,
because it contains this element OF
food so necessary to health and
strength. 1t puts color in The checks
of youth and Laughter in the eye OF
age. Eat more of it, We young and
old. because it is q real food, an all
thc-year-rOurd food. tadV'
