This divinely authorised comparison of heaven to & great homestead of large accommodations I propose to carry out. In some healthy neighborhood a man builds a very commodious habitation. He must have room for all his childâ€" ren. ‘The rooms come to be called after the different members of the famâ€" ily. That is mother‘s room, that is George‘s room, that is Henry‘s room, that is Flora‘s room, that is Mary‘s room, and the house is all occupied. But time goes by, and the sons go out into the world and build their own homes, and the daughters are married or have talents enough singly to go out and do a good work in the world. And after a while the father and mother are almost alone in the big house, and, seated by the evening stand, they say, ‘"Well, our family is no larger now than when we started together 40 years ago." But time goes still farther by, and some of the children are unâ€" fortunate and return to the old homeâ€" stead to live, and the grandchildren come with them and perhaps greatâ€" grandchildren, and again the house is full. nol ma our tex little cl accurat er‘s ho Here is a bottle of medicine cure all.

Better than all we ever read about Him or talked about Him or sang about Him in all the churches and through all our earthly lifetime will it be, just for one second to see Him. The most rapturous idea we ever had of Him on sacramental days or at the height of some great revival or under the uplifted baton of an oratorio is. a bankruptcy of thought compared with the first flash of His appearance in that rsception â€" room.

The child will go ahead to glorified maturity, and the aged will go back to:© glorified maturity.

St. John and other liible writers talk so much about the music of heaven that there must be music there, perhaps not such as on earth was thrummed from trembling string or evoked by touchâ€" of ivory koy, but if not that, then something better. There are so many Christian barpists and Christian composers and Christian organists ard â€" Christian choristers and Christian hymnologists that have gone up from earth there must be some place of especial delecâ€" lation.

Among all the rooms of that house there is no one that more enraptures my soul than that reception room. "In my Father‘s house are many rooms." Another room in our Father‘s house is the throneâ€"room. We belong to the royal family. The blood of King Jesus flows in our veins, so we have a right to enter the throneâ€"room. It is no easy thing on earth to get through even the outside door of a king‘s residence. Durâ€" ing the Francoâ€"German war, one evenâ€" tide in the summer of 1870, I stood studying the exauisite sculpturing of the gate of the Tuileries, Paris. Lost in admiration of the wonderful art of that gate, I knew not that I was exâ€" citing suspicion. Lowering my eyes to the crowds of people, I found myself being closely inspected by the governâ€" ment officials, who, from my complexâ€" ion, judged me to be a German and that for some belligerent purpose I might be examining the gates of the palace. My explanation in very poor French did not satisfy them, and they followed me long distances until I separation. Father! Mother! There is your child. Sisters! Brothers! Friends! I wish you joy.

Though they were in some othe* world on errand from God, a signal would be thrown that would fetch them. Though you might at first feel dazed and overawed at their supernal splendor. all that feeling will be gone at their first touch of heavenly salutation, and we will say: "Oh, my lost boy!" "Oh. my lost companion!" "Oh, my lost friend! Are we here together?" What scenes in that reception room of the old homeâ€" stead have been witnessed! There met Joseph and Jacob, finding it a brighter room than anything they saw in Pharâ€" aoh‘s palace; David and the little child for whom he once fasted and wept; Mary and Lazarus after the heartâ€" break of Bethany; Timothy and grandâ€" mother Lois; Isabella Graham and her sailor son; Alfred and George Cookâ€" man, the mystery of the sea at last made manifest; Luther and Magdalene, the daughter he bemoaned; John Howâ€" ard and the prisoners whom he gospelâ€" ised, and multitudes without number who, once so weary and so sad, parted from d oiher room in our e music room. .

If 40 or 45 or 50 years be the apex of physical and mental life on earth, then the heavenly childhood will advance to that, and the heavenly old age retreat to that. When we join them in the family room, we shall have much to tell them. We shall want to know of them, right away,such things as these: Did you see us in this or that or the other struggle? Did you know when we lost our property and sympathise wi#th us? Were you pleasâ€" ed when we started for heaven? Did you celebrate the hour of our converâ€" sion?

The smal number of renewals asked for shows that the retail irade of the country is now on a sound basis and generaly speaking in the hands of shrewd, upâ€"ioâ€"date busiâ€" ness men. Straight as the Wall of a House She Holds Her Body. The carriage and walk of the uative women of Manila are thus dweribod by a returning trayelor : "As a rule the women of all classes are as straight as the wall of a house, if not straighter. A plumb line dropâ€" ped from the nap» of the neck would, in most instances, fall well behind the beels. But the gait is a seculiar swing which is quite noticeable, Some charge this, as well as the straightness, to their habit of carrying ail burdens from a calie of soup to a house and lot, on the top of the head. That is probably the cause of the erect bearâ€" ing, but 1 think the peculiar gait due to a certain swing of the iimbs reâ€" quired for keeping the shoes on the feet, The local woman‘s shoeo consists usually ofi a flat sole with a toe cap.

This spouting never varies to the tenth of a second and, therefore, a clock properly atâ€" tached to it, cannot fail to keep corâ€" rect time. _ Every time the water worn.

Try * again with the little outward curyâ€" Ing swing from the knee, with a reâ€" nitant side swing from the hip. After a few years of practice the slipper will stay on, asd you will have acâ€" quired the gait of the Filipina.
