already entered upon that h!ei i pla ! If
I should take paper and pencil, do you think

and c.iffln and h iar'i here.
A little child's mother had die , ntld they
comforted her. They slid: "Your mother
bus g hid to heaven. Don't cry," and the
next day they wnt to the graveyard, and
tliey lul l til" bo ly of til" mother down lilt')
ground, and the little girl came no to the
vere of the grave, and looking down nt the
body of her mother al I, "Is this heaven'.''
Oil, we have no idea what heaven (. It is
the grave here. It Isdarkncshere, l.utth"re
Is merry leaking yonder. Mthluk. wh n a
soul arrives some angel takes it around to
show it the wonder ot that l le-s- l uln-e.
1'he usi"r auirel say to the newly arrived:
"These are the martyr, that peri.she.r at
Piedmont; thoio were torn to ple.'ea at the
Inquisition; till Is the throne of the great
Jehovah; till i Jesus!" "I am going to ao
Jean," said a dying negro boy. "I am go
ing to see Jesus," and the missionary said,
'You nre sure you will see Him'.'" "Oh,
yes. That's what I want to g to Ihmvimi
for." "But," said the uilsssounry. "suppose
that 'Jesus should go nwav from heaven,
what theiii1" "I should follow him." said
the dying negro boy. "Hut if Jem went
down to hell, what then?" The dying boy
thought for a moment, and then he said,
"Jliwaa, where Jesu Is there can be no hell:"
Oh, to eland In His presence! That will
beuenvenl- Oh, to put our hand In that
hand which was wounded for us on the cross
to go around amid all the groups of thn
redeemed nu I shake hands with prophets
and apostle and martyr and with our own
dear, beloved ones! That will be the great
nutiion. We cannot imnglne it now, our
loved one seem si far away. When we are
In trouble ami lonesome, they don't seem to
come to us. We go on the Iuiuks of the Jor
dan and call across to them, but they
don't seem to hear. We anv: "I It well
with tho child.' I It well with the loved
one,'.'" and wo listen to hear If any
voice come baclc over the water. None!
None! Unbelief says, " They lire den and
extinct forever," but, Messed ha God, we
hare a Hilda that tells us different. Weopen
it and tlnd that they are neither de i lnor
extinct; that they never were no much alive
a now; that they aro only waitlug for our
coming, and that we ahall join tnem on the
other side of the river. Oh. glorious re.
union, we iviunot gr.i-ip It now! "Eye hath
not seen, n r ear hear), neither havui nlered 1
Into the heart of man the thing which God :
hath prepared for them that love Him." i
I remark again, we can in this world get :
no idea of th ) song of heaven. You know i
there is nothing more inspiriting tUun music. !
In the battle of Wa erloo the Highlander '
were giving way. and Wellington found out
that the bail Is of uuislo hul ceaed p'nrlng. I
He sent a quick dispatch, tilling theia to
play with ir.niost spirit a battle march, '
The niuie started, the Hiir'alanders were
rallied, and they dashed on till the day wa
won. We appreciate the power of eular !
music, but do we appreciate the poarer of i
sacred song? There is nothing more insplr- '
lug to me than a whole congregation lifted :
up ou the ware of holy melody. When wo !
sing some of those dear old paln and j
tunes they roitii all the memories of the !
past. Why, some of them were era lie song !
in our father's hous". They are all spark- '
ling with th" tiioriiin? dow ot u thousand
Christian Habhnth.
They were sung by brother n:i 1 sister
gone now, by voice that were aged and
brokeu in the musL', voices none th lea
sweet because they ilid tremble and break.
Whan I hear these old songs sun.; it .seems as
If all the old country meeting homes joined
in the chorus, and Scotch kirk an I sailor'
Bethel and Western cabins, until the wliolo
continent lift the dox ilogv and the scepter
of eternity beat time to the music. Awav
then with your starveling tune that chill
the devotion of the sanctuary and mn'e the
Ceople sit Blliiut when Jesus 1 oomiuj to
osanna.
But, my friends. If music: on earth i so
sweet, what will it be in heaven? They ull
know the tune there. Mcthink the tuue of
heaven will be made up partly from the
song of earth, the best parts of all our
bvmas and tunes going to add to the aong of
Mosea and the Lamh. All the best singers of
all the age will join It choir of white
robed children. Choir of patriarch! Choira
of apostles! Morning star dapping their
cymbals! Harper with their harp! Great
a nt hems ot God roll on, roll! on! Other em
pire joining the harmony till the throne
are full of it and the Nations all laved.
Anthem shall touon anthem, chorus Join
chorus, and all the sweet sound of aartli
and heaven be poured Into the ear of Christ.
Pavld of the harp will be there. Gabriel of
the trumpet will ba there. Germany re
deemed will pour it deep has. voice into the
aong. and Africa will add to the music, with
her matchless voice.
I wish we could anlleipate that song. I
wish In the closiug bvmu ot the churches
to-day we might catcit au echo that slip
from the gates. Who know but that when
the heavenly door open to-lay to let some
soul through there may come fortk the
strain of the Jubilant voice until we catcit
It? Oh, that ns the son? drop down from
