Minkstoring Spirits the News In the following sermon Rev, T. De Witt some impressions Heaven, and asserts that those who reach the celestial city will have a chance to study continuously as well as to enjoy the society of those loved ones who have preceded them, The text is Rev. 21:1: "And 1 saw a new Heaven." The stereotyped Heaven does not make adequate impression upon us. ‘We need the old story told in new style in order to arouse our apprecia~ tion. I do not suppose that we are compelled to the old phraseology. King James’ translators did not ex haust all the good and graphic words in the English diotionary. I suppose if sve should take the idea of lleaven, and translate it into modern phrase, we would find that its atmosphere is & combination of early June and of the Indian summer place combining the advantages of city and country, the wd one, and the for t tert elers, ao ful archit F'almage gives his vast audience a ] l=] 1¢W concerning in October—a for th gireet twelve ne other; a place SALT harpers has is not tl} and David, ing for something better That brings to 1 of img unde of me adults r the dur dred, or t ther peop majori mans d Heaven dur or 1nho should ; lion gather popuiat what a mere © the five hu: thousand milli 10 INan can into that city for grante i ti} goes as straight the light is one reason why Heaven w be fresh and beautiful titude of dred will be & blessed and lively irse, all this takes very child that dies into Heaven as over sped from a star; But add to this, if multit into glory, Heaven must run up! a clergyman ste pulpit, and said that the vast fina ude o yoed § major ly be des more than one person sand There happened to be abo pers Ns it two thou sand people preached. were heard and wondering whicl he village where Next Sabb he a Two persons disgus subject, » of the two people in reach Heaven, and the thousand finally it would other deacon. lage would ight be mn and the the thought it old Now, 1 have n much ad- miration for a life-boat which will go out to a sinking ship with two thou- sand passengers, and get one off in safety, and let nineteen hundred and ninety-nine go to the bottom. Why, Heaven must have been a village when Abel, the first soul from earth, entered it, aa compared with the present popu- lation of that great city! woul be ot Again: 1 remark that lfeaven has vastly improved In knowledge, Give a man forty or fifty years to study one science, or all sciences, with all the ad- vantages of laboratories and observa tories and philosophic apparatus, he will be a marvel of information, Now, into what intelligence must lleaven mount, angelhood and sainthood, not after studying for forty or fifty vears, but for thousands of years--studying God and the soul and immortality and the uriverse! How the intelli- gence of that world must sweep on and on, with eyesight farther resch- ing than telescope, with power of cal- eunlation mightier than all human mathematics, with power of analysis surpassing all chemical laboratory, with speed swifter than telegraphy! What must Heaven learn, with ail these advantages, in a month, in a ear, in a century, in a millennium? he difference between the highest university on earth and the smallest class in a primary school cannot be a greater difference than Heaven ss it now is and Heaven as it conve was, Do you not suppose that when Dr. James Simpson went up from the hos. tals of Edinburgh into Heaven Le more than ever the science of health; and that Joseph Heary, grad- actual not suppose they | society ? | Heaven? nating from the Smithsonian Institute into Heaven, awoke into higher realms of philosophy; and that Sir William | Hamilton, lifted to loftier sphere, un- derstood better the construction eof the human intellect: and that John Milton took up higher poetry in the presence of things that earth he had tried to describe? When the first saints Heaven they have studied only the A B C of ull literature of wis th they are now acquainted, on entered wi Heaven is vastly improved in During your memory how many exquisite spirits } it. If you should try to make of all blessed souls that you have known, it would be a very jong that have gone into glory.

Minister. ing spirits not only, but our loved ones leaving us, take up the tidings Suppose vou were in a far city, and had been there a good while, and you heard that some one had arrived from your native place-—some one who had recently seen your family and friends ~you would rush up to that man, and vou would ask all about the old folks at home. And do you not sup- pose when vour child went up to God, your glorified kindred in Heaven gath- ered around and asked about you, to ascertain as to whether you were get- ting along well in the struggle of life; to find out whether you were in any especial peril, that with swift and mighty wing they might come down to intercept your perils? Oh, yes! Heaven is a greater placa for news than ft used to be-—news sounded through the streets, news ringing from the towers, news heralded from the palace gate. Glad news! Vietor- fous news! Now, I say these things about she al laden harbor, | changes in Heaven, about ths new im- | provements in Heaven, for three stout reasons, First, because I find that some of you are impatient to be gone. You are tired of this workl, and you want to get into that good land about which you have been thinking, pray- ing, and talking so many years. Now be patient. I could see why you would want to go to an art gallery if some of the best pictures were to be taken away this week or next week; but it some one tos you that there are other begutiful pictures to ecome—othsr | one angel will | have i it would | denly and forever but here is n | gressive Heaven, an ever-accur | Heaven, vast enterprise | before the throne of God. | knowledge, | gressive power, aggressive grandeur, | You in everlasting inoccupation, | there is something to do. | meaning brs | multita we | gale | guard, and | say, the earthly | | populous city, Has | tion » er masterpieces to be added to the gallery—you would say, “I can afford to walt. The place is improving ell the time.” Now, I want vou to apply the same principle in this mater of reaching Heaven and this world.

This is the Judgment! This morning all the char jots, and the cavalry, and the mount ed Infantry rumbled snd galloped down the sky.” After I had listened to tha sentinel, I looked off over the battlements, and I saw that the fields of alr were bright with « blazing world. 1 said, “Yes, ves, this must be the Judgment:” and while I stood there I heard the rumbling of wheels and the clattering of hoofs, and the roaring of many voices, the coronets and plumes and banners, and I saw that all Heaven was coming back again—eoming to the wall, coming to the gate, and the multitude that went off in the morning was augment: ed by a vast multitode eaught wp alive from the earth, and a vast multi tude of the resurrected bodies of the Christian dead, leaving the cemeter jes and the abbeys and the mausole ums and the graveyards of the earth empty.

And then I found out that what was flery Judgment Day on earth was Jubilee In Heaven, and 1 erfed: “Doorkee of Heaven, shut the gates; all Heaven has coms in! eepers, shut the twelve gates, lent the sorrows and the woes of earth, like bandits, should some day come thia mean? there Kensetis, Raphaeis, and Rubens; oth- | and try to plunder the city!” | mind, OHI THE BEAUTIFUL WRETCH., I ———— He had been going there for a month now, and had not progressed any fur- ther in his race for the girl than when he first began. True, sho was cold and haughty; true, too, was jt that she treated him with disdain, but what mattered that to him, Was she not worth millions, and were he not ale moat penniless, He was work! at what?—a six-dollar a week clerk in a drygoods store--and he could not hope to marry on that, As a matter of fact was one port in a storm and possibly a haven, At length he de- termined to find out how much she car. ed for him and with that object in view put on his best suit, placed a four-inch collar around his neck, doft. ed a new hat, patent-leather shoes-- for which his last week's earnings had been expended—and with a new pair of gloves, borrowed from the store for the occasion, went to visit her at the magnificent home of her parents on Girard avenue, The evening was spout pleasantly enough until 10 o'clock, when a remark that she dropped brought to his mind what he intended to do. He began timidly at first, and after some he-hawing managed to ask her “may 1 press my suit?’ "Of course,” as tantly instanti sie LA her answer she reac! hart test itieman to the Kit On the Merrick Road, Wanted to Surprise Him, to an auct h he was An Was gide, and hb was determin HH up mut of the door me one his sleeve.
