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

ings into the temple treasury; an
