All the earth for those who are here on earth nt the time of continental and planetary dis tribution and nil tho huuvous lor thoso who are there. Thnt heavenly distribution of spoils will ho u surprise to many.

Ilo Just crowds througii the shining gate, but lt':i n very tight siUoj., so that the doorkeeper has to pull hard to get him iu, and this man oxuects butt of heaven for his share of trophies, no J he would like a monopoly of all its splendor and to purchttso lots In the suburbs, so that be could get advantage of the growth ot the city. Well, little by little he ge?s gruco of heart, Just enough to get him through, und to him Is given u second-hand crown which one of the saints wore nt the start, but ex changed for a brighter one as be wont on from glory to glory. And he Is put iu an old house onco occupied by nn uuirel who was hurled out ot buavun ut tbu tiuio of satun's rebellion. Right alter him comes a soul that makes n great stir among the celestial.", and the an gels rush to the sjune, each bringing to hern duz.llug coronet. Who is she? Over what realm on earth was she queen? Iu what great lMisscldor! festival wits she tbo cnuta trlce? Neither.

Yon will take thn spoils from Tils hand or never take tnom at all. Have HI friendship,' and yon may defy all tlmn and all eternity, but without It yon are a pauper; thouih you had a tinlvero at your command. Wo are told In Revelation that Jacob's twelve son were so honored a to have tho twelve gates of heaven named after them over one gate of heaven Nnphtall, over another gate of heaven Issnobar, over another Dan, over another Oad, over another Z"bulon, over another Judah. end so on.
