Dr. Talmage Says the Mysteries of Provie dence WHI Future I%e Glories of Heaven Beautifully Described. oly be Unfolded in the In the following sermon Rev. Dr Talmage in glowing language com- pares the dimness of earthly eyesight with the brightness of celestial vision, His text is: 1. Cor, 18: 19: see through a glass darkly; but then face to face.” The Bible is the most forceful and pungent of books. While the sweetness of a mother’s hush for human trouble, it has all the keenness of a scimitar, and the erushing power of a lightning bolt. It portrays with more than a painter's power, at one stroke picturing a heavenly throne and and of this great harp are fingered by the splendors of the future, sounding with the crackle of consum- ing worlds, now thrilling with the joy of the everlasting emancipated. It tells how forbidden garden blasted the earth with sickness and though le now one tree in another yet, planted dexth; and how dss and bare, on Calvary, shall yield a fruit shall more than antidote the poison of the other, It tells the elusters of God's wrath were how red-ripe brought to the wine pre and Jesus trod them out. how, at chalices of Heaven shall glow wine of that zles the eye with an Ezekiel's vi wheel, and wing, and fire, wind: and stoops de ean put its lij he child, And responsibility an indi sion shall 88, golden with the and last, all the awful vintage. wn so low ear of and say yet Paul, in stinct tha comparative but grander and more complete This is ’ view of nevertheless is eminently true in regard to We God that we con stand Him ing firmness of a king and hear about H much i hear rod near ww inde that is represented the tenders the the Saviours and weet i 5 set forth His love, fF WOrk, His life, His i rrection.

The rushing out in view of all hid den excellency, the coming again of a long absent Jesus, to meet us-not in rags, and in penury, and death, but amidst a light, and pomp, and out bursting joy such as none but a glori- fled intelligence could experience. Oh! to gaze full upot tho brow that was lacerated, upon the side that ‘was pierced, upon tho feet that were nailed; to stand close up in the presence of Him who yed for us on the moun- tain, and ht of us by the sea, and agonized for us inthe garden, and died for us in horrible crucifixion, to feel of Him, to embrace Him, to take Ils hall be | and those garlands bloom, “For now we | it has | | means | means to teach me that. the | ved | But after all, it's on which | a starting | | volees carry different parts. broken ment we mount up into high | i those hand, to kiss II's fect, to run our fingers along the scars of ancient sufler- ing: tosay: “Thisis my Jesus!

The hallelujah will be all the grander for earth's weeping eves, and aching heads, and exhausted hands, and scourged backs, and martyred agonies Again: the thought of the text is just when applied to the enjoyments of the righteous in Heaven. | think we have but little idea of the number of the righteous in Heaven. Infidels say “Your Heaven will be a very small place compared with the world of the lost, for, according to your teaching, the majority of men will be destroyed.” I deny the charge. 1 suppose that the multitade of the finally lost, as com pared with the multitude of the finally saved, will be a handful. I suppose that the few sick peopic 1a the hospital today, as compared with the hundreds of thousands of well people in the city, would not be smaller than the number of those whe shall be cast out in suffering, compared with those who lujab of Heaven will not be in who rode high pauper were once will + sliall have upon them the health of Heaven. For we are to remember that we are living in comparatively the be ginning of the Christian dispensation, and that this world is to be populated and redeemed, and that ages of light and love are to flow on. If this be so, the multitudes of the saved will be in vast majority, Take all the congregations that have to-day mssembled for worship. Put them together and they would make but a small audience compared with the thousands and tens ‘of thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, nnd the hundred and forty and four thousand that shall stand around the throne. Those flashed up to Heaven in martyr fires; those tossed for many Years upon the invalid esouch; those fought in the armies of liberty, and rose ns they fell; those tumbled from scaffolding, or slipped from the mast, or were washed off “into the sea. They came up from Corinth, from Laodices, from the Red Sea bank and Gennesa- ret's wave, from Egyptian brickyards, and Gideon's threshing floor. Those, thousands of years ago, slept the last sleep, and these are this moment have ing their eves closed, and their limbs stretched out for the sepulcher. A general expecting an attack from the enemy stands on a hill and looks through a fleld glass and sees, in the great distance, multitudes approach ing, but has no idea of their numbers. He says: “I eannot tell anything about them. I merely know that there are a great number And so John, without attempting to count, says: A great multitude that no man can number.” We are told that Heaven is a place of happiness; but what do we know about happiness? Happiness in this world is only a half-fledged thing: a flowery path with a serpent hissing across it; a broken pitcher from which the water has dripped before eould drink; a thrill of exhilaration, followed by dis astrous reactic To help us under stand the joy Heaven, Bible takes us tos river.

The Proportion Largest In the United Siates and Smallest In Germany, There are in the United States, roughly speaking, 350,000 school teach era, and of this number 190,000 are men and 280.000 are women. In other words, there are nearly twice as many female ns male teachers, and the disparity is increasing year hy year. According to the last official census of Prussia there were 08,000 school teachers in the kingdom, of whom 9,000 were women and 50,000 men. It inevident, therefore, that the Prussian preference is for male teachers. In all Germany there are, including the government, church and private schools, 185,000 teachers, and the number of pupils is nearly 10,000, 000. There are 140,000 teachers in France, of whom 65,000 are men snd 75,000 are women, the number of each being subject to about the same ratio of increase. There are, It is supposed, about 100,000 teachers in Great Britain, but suthentin figures are lacking. throne saying his Maman Legs and Foot, With the exception of birds, men's WALL PAPER. | from SAVE - Mark How Thin, Pale, Nervous and Puny the Littls Ono Ia.
