THE EMINENT DIVINE'S SUNDAY DISCOURSE. Subject: Our Father's House — God's Homestead, Ballded on the Hills of Heaven, Provides Rooms For Alle Vivid Pleture of the Celestinl Home, {Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1888.1 Wasmixaron, D, C.—In a unique way the lisavenly world is discoursed upon by Dr, a home; text, John xiv, 2, “Iu My Father's houses are many rooms." Hero is u bottle of medicine that is a cure all, The disciples were sad, and Christ offered heaven as an alterative, a stimulant and a touiec, He shows them that their sorrows are only a dark baok- ground of a bright pleture of ecomiug felicity. He lets them know that, though now they live on the lowlands, they shall yet have a house on the uplands, Nearly all the Bible descriptions of heaven may be figurative, I am not heaven there {8 a literal crown or harp or pearly gate or throne or chariot, They may be only used to illustrate the glories of the place, but how well they 49 it! The favorite symbol by which the Jible pre- sents celestial happiness is a house, Paul, who never owned a house, although he hired one for two years in Italy, speaks of heaven as a “houses not made with hands,” aud Christ in our text, the translation of which is a little changed, <0 as to give the more accurate meaning, says: “In My Father's house are many rooms.” This divinely aathorized eomparisou of heaven to a great homestead ol large ac- commodations I propose co earry out, In some healthy neighborhood a man a very commodious habliation, He have room for all his children, come to be called after the different mem- bers of the family, That {s mother's room that is George's room, that is Heorv's ro that Is Flora's room, that Is Mary's room, and the house is all occupled. Bat time goes by, aud the sons go out into world and build their own homes, and daughters are married or enough singly to work in the world, After a while father and mother are almost alune in big house, and, by the evening the + the sonted larger now than when we started together forty years ago.” Dut time goes further by, and some of the children unfortunate and return to the old li stead to live, and the grandohildren come with them and perbaps great-grandelii- dren, aod agaia the house is fall, Millennia ago God built on the hill heaven a great homestead for a fam numerable, yet At first He lived aioue in that gre use, but alter was occu ple ¥ A very large family, uble, seraphic, angelic.

What a minute when the ascended apirit first soes the Lord! Detter than ali wo ever read about Him or talked about Him or sang about Him in all the churches and through all our earthly lifetime will it be, just for one second to see Him. The most rapturous idea we aver had of Him on sacramental days or at the height of some great revival or under the uplifted baton of an oratorio is a bankruptey of thought compared with the first Sash of His appearance in that reception room. At that moment when you confront each other, Christ looking upon you and you looking upon Christ, there will be an wo. statie thrill and surging of emotion that beggar all description. Look! They need no iatrodustion. Long ago Christ chose that repentant sinner, and that repentant sinner chose Christ, Mightiest moment of history—the first kiss of heaven! Jesus aud the soul! Thesouland Jesus! But now into that reception room pour the glorified kiosfolk, enough of earthly retention to let you know them, but with- out thelr wounds or their sloknesses or thelr troubles. Hes what heaven bas done for them-so radiant, so glealul, so transportingly lovely! They call you by name, They greet you with an ardor pro. portioned to the nnguish of your parting and the length of your separation, Fatherl Mother! There Is your ohild, Bisters! Brothers! Friends! wish you joy. For years apart, together again in the reception room of the old homestead, You mee, they will know you are coming, There are so many immortals filling all the spaces between hers und heaven that news Hike that flies like lightning, They will be there In an (nstant.

It may correspond somewhat with the family room on earth, At morning and evening, you know, that is the place we now meet, Though every member of the household have a separate room, in the family room they all gather, and joys and sorrows and experiences of all styles are there rehearsed. Sacred room in all our dwellings, whether It be luxari- ous with ottomans and divans and books or there be only a few plain chairs and a eradie., Bo the family room on high will be the place where the kinsfolk assem- bie and talk over the family experi- snees of earth, the weddings, the births, the burials, the festal days of Christmas and Thanksgiving reunion. Will the children departed remain chile dren there? Will the aged remain aged there? Ob, no! Everything is per. fact there. The child will go ahead to glori- fied maturity, and the aged will go back to glorified maturity. The rising sun of the one will rise to meridian, and the descending sun of the other will return to meridian, However much we love our ehildren on earth, we would consider it a domestic disaster if thev siaid children, and so we rejoices at their growth here, And when we mest in the family room of our Father's house we will be glad that they have grandly and gloriously matured, while our parents, who were aged and in. firm here, wa shall be giad to find re. stored to the most agile and vigorous im- mortality there, I hops none of us will be disappointed about getting there, There isa room for us if we will go and take it, but in order to reach it it Is absolutely necessary that we take the right way, and Christ {2 the way, and we must enter at the right door, and Christ is the door, and we must start in time, aud the only hour you are sure of is the bour the clock now strikes, and the only second the one your watch Is now ticking.
