Lowell, Mass, nr _——— The American Crowds While he was still in this country Prince Henry was reported to have said handsome things about the American crowds. Now that he has arrived home they are still his theme. “Nowhere else in the world are the crowds so well be haved as in America, and they them- selves are their own controllers.” The point of the compliment to the German mind will be found in the last sentence No crowd in Germany, on an occasion similar to the demonstrations which at- tended Prince Henry here, would be suf fered to be its own controller. Soldiers by the thousand would control it. It would not be safe to let a crowd be un controlled, not safe for the guests, the | to be controlled by show of force.

It was a long time since he had seen Aunt Jane (he was a busy man), and he had almost forgotten her existence. But as he sat there in the big bare church a feeling of sadness stole over him. He remembered the early days of his childhood, when Aunt Jane was a frequent visitor at the house, and the many little kindnesses she had done for him. His childhood seemed far away: there had been so many changes since, so many of the people associated with it bed passed away, and, as he thought of it all, the tears rose to his eves. The ceremony proceeded and the mourners at last passed up to the front for a last look at the face of the dear one. The man, his eves still moist, stop- ped suddenly for a second as he looked upon the quiet face, and then he looked again. He had not seen Aunt Jane for a long time, but he knew her well enough to know that while this was a woman of about the same age and evidently the same name, it was not Aunt Jane. He drew a long breath as he passed down the aisle and out into the street, and now he does not attend previous investigation S50 The Patter Discounted, “Ah!

Dr. Talmage Says the Busiesd Place in the Universe is Heaven A Glimpse of the King's Palace—An Impress ive Half Hear in Eternity. Wasmxaron, D. C.—In the following discourse, prepared by Dr. Talmage before his illness, a vivid glimpse of the splen- dors and glories of heavenly life is pre- sented: text, Revelation wai, 1, “There was silence in heaven about the space of balf an hour.” c The busiest place in the universe is heaven. It is the eentre from which all good influences start; it is the goal al which all good results arrive, ‘The Bible represents it as active with wheels and wings and orchestras and processions mounted or charioted. But my text de- scribes a space when the wheels ceased to roll and the trumpets to sound and the voices to chant, The riders on the white horses reined in their charges. The doxol- ogies were hushed and processions halted. The hand of arrest was upon all the splen- dor. “Stop heaven!” eried an onmmipo- tent voice, and it stopped. For thirty minutes everything celestial stood still. “There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” From all we can learn is the only time heaven ever stopped. It does not stop as other cities for the night, for there is no night there. It does not stop for a plague, for the inhabitant never says, “I am sick.” It does not stop for bankrupt cies, for its. inhabitants never fail. It does not stop for impassable streets, for there are no fallen snows or sweepiug freshets.. What, then, stopped it for thir { ty minutes? Grotius and ofessor Stuart | think it was at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem. Mr. Lard thinks it was in the year 311, between the close of the Dio cletian persecution and the beginning oi the wars by which Canstantine gained the throne. But that was all a guess, though | a learned and brilliapt guess. 1 do noi { know when it was and I do not care when it was, but of the fact that such an inter. regnum of sound took place I am certain. : Toere was silence in heaven about the | space of half an hour.” | _And, first of all, we learn that God and i all heaven then honored silence. The | longest and widest domain that ever ex- isted is that over which stillness was | queen. For an eternity there had not been a sound. World making was a later day occupation For unimaginable ages it was a mute universe. God was the only | being, and as there was no one to speak , to there was no utterance. But that w- lence has all been broken up in to worlds, and it has become a noisy universe. Worlds upheaval, worlds in congela tion, worl conflagration, worlds in | revolution If geologists are they are—there has r silence since this wo and the crashing and the spl uproar and the hua b gress. But wi Yoice cried, heaven was still, full power of to learn.

Not only are ali the triumphs of the | past to be commemorated, but all the triumphs to come. Not only what we now know of God, but what we will know of Him after everlasting study of the deific | If my text had said there was silence in heaven for thirty days, I would not have | been riartled at the announcement, but it indicates thirty minutes, | Why, there will be so many friends to { hunt up, so many of the greatiy good and useful that we will want to see. so man | of the inscrutable things of earth we will | need explained, so many exciting earthly experiences we will want to talk over, and | all the other spirits and all the ages will | want the same, that there will be no more | opportunity for cessation. i ow busy we will be kept in having pointed out to us the heroes and heroines | that the world never fully appreciated—the | yellow fever and cholera doctors who died, not flying from their ta; the female | nurses who faced pestilence in the laza- | rettos; the railroad engineers who stayed { at their places in order to save the train, | though they themselves perished. Hu | bert Goffin, the master miner, who, land: { ing from the bucket at the bottom of the | mine just as he heard the waters rush in | and when one jerk of the rope would have | lifted him into safety, put in the bucket a | blind miner who wanted to go to his sick { child, and jerked the rope for him to be ulled up, erying, “Tell them the water as burst in and we are probably lost, but we will seck refuge at the other end of the right gallery,” and then giving the com- mand to the other miners till they digged themseives 80 near out that the ple | from the outside could come to their res j ewe. The multitudes of men and women who got no crown on earth we will want | to see when they get their crown in heav- fen, I eaven will have no more balf hours to spare, Besides that, heaven ie y are in the those for fo fall of children, vast majority. No child koing to keep five hundred million of t quiet half an hour? You know heaven is much more of a Jitee than it was when that recess of thirty minutes occurred.

They are pieces of eternity, It was the half hours between shoeing horses that made Elihu Burritt, the learned black: smith, the half hours between professional calls as a physician that made Abererom- bie the rrirtian philosopher, the half hours between his duties as schoolmaster that made Salmon P. Chase Chief Justice, the half hours between shoe lasts that made Henry Wilson Vice-President of the United Btates, the half hours between canalboats that made James A, Garfield President. The half hour a day for good books or or indolence, the half hour a day for heip- ing others or blasting others, the half hour before you go to business and the half hour after you return from business—that makes the difference between the scholar and the ignoramus, between the Christian and the infide], between the saint and the demon, between triumph and catastrophe, between heaven and hell, The most tremendous things of life and mine were certain half hours. The half hour when in the parsonage of a country minister 1 resoived to become a Christian then and there, the half hour when 1 decided to become a preacher of the gospel, the half hour when 1 first re- alized that my son was dead, the half hour when 1 stood on the top of my house in Oxford street and saw our church burs, the half hour in which I entered Jerusa- lem, the half hour in which I stopped on Mount Calvary, the half hour in which stood on Mars Hill and about ten or fifteen other half hours are the chief times of my life. You may forget the name of the exact vears or most of the important events of your existence, but those half hours, like the half hour of my text, will be immor- tal.. I do not query what you will do with the twentieth century, I do not query what you will do with this year, but what will you do with the next half hour? Upon that hinges your destiny, and dur: ing that some of you will receive the gospel and make complete surrender, and during that others of you will make final and fa- tal rejection of the full and free and urgent and impass.oned offer of life eternal Oh, that the next half hour might be the most glorious thirty minutes of your earthly existence! Then there sre those whose hearing is so delicate that they get no satisfaction when you describe the crash of the eter- nal orchestra, and they feel bike saying, as a good woman in Hudson, N.

No, you cannot go in. There are those who would never consent to let you come out again. You say, “Let me stay bere in this place where they never min, where they never suffer, where they never part.” No, no! Our time is short, our thirty minutes are almost gone. Come on! We must get back to earth Before this half hour of heavenly silence breaks up, for in your mortal state you canfiot en. dure the pomp and splendor and resonance when this half hour of silence is ended. The day will come when you can see heav. en in full blast, but not now. I am now only showing you heaven at the dullest half hour of all etermities. Come on! There is something in the celestial ap- earance which makes me think that the alf hour of silence will soon be over. Yonder are the white horses being hitched to chariots, and yonder are Th finger- ing harps as if about to strike them into symphohy, and yonder are conquerors taking down from the blue halls of heav- en the Srutibets of victory. Remember we are mortal yet and cannot endure the full roll of heavenly harmonies and can- pot endure even the silent heaven for more than half an hour. Hark! The clock in the tower of heaven begins to strike, and the half hour is end: ed. Descend! Come back! Come down till your work is dome. Shoulder a little longer your burdens. Fight a little longer your battles. Weep a little longer your rigs. And then take heaven mot in its duliest half hour, but in ite mightiest pomp, and, instead of taking it for thirty minutes, take it world without end.
