WHO'S WHO TN HEAVEN "Who's Who" has long been the standard of social, political, artistic, military, educational and ecclesiastical achievement. But, after all. Who's Who in Heaven? Is not that the big ques tion? To have one's name in a book of successful or famous people there is something gratifying about that. But every one so included might humbly ask himself the ques tion, "How do I stand in the honor roll of heaven?" And those who have never been thought of for any earthly "Who's Who" should not spend a moment's regret over that. They have all the opportunity in the world for winning a high place in the eternal records. There will be some great surprises when these records are disclosed. Two the world already knows of will be among the highest —a poor woman who put two farth ings into the temple treasury; an other who anointed the feet of a tired teacher-healer in a dusty country long ago.
