Washington, Nov. 5r. In a unique lway the heavenly world is discours- ed upon by Dr. Talmage in this ser- mon under the figure of a home; teat, John ails, 7, "In zny Father's house ore many rooms." Here is a bottle of medicine that is a eure all. The disciples were sad, and Christ offered heaven as #fin al.- ternative, a stimulant and a tonic. He shahs thein that their sorrows are only a dark background of a. bright picture of coating felicity. Ile lets them, know that, though now they live on the lowlands, they shall. yet have a house on the uplands. Nearly all the Bible descriptions of heaven may be figurative, I am not positive that in all heaven there ia. a literal crown or Bare, or pearly gate or throne er chariot. They May he only used to illustrate the glories at the place, but how well they do iti The favorite symbol by which _±'the Bible presents celestial happi- Mee hi, at house. Paul, who izever owned a house, although be hired one for two years hi Italy, speaks of heaven as a, "house not made with bands," and tzarist in our text. the translation of twhfeb is a little changed, so as to give the more ac- curate meaning, says, 9n wy Fath- er's house aro many rooms.'" This divinely authorized compari- son of heaven to agreat homestead, of large accommodations I propose to carry out. In some healthy neighborhood a man builds a very Commodious habitation. Ile must have rooms for all his children. The'. rooms condo to be called after the different members of the family. That is mother's room, that is George's room. that is lleaary'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, Owen homes. and the daughters are! married or have talents enough sin- i gly to go out and do a good, work in the world. .and, after awhile the father and mother are almost alone in the big house, and, seated by the evening strand, 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 aro unfortunate and return to the old homestead to livo, and the grandchildren conte with them and perhaps great-granddad- dren, and again the house is full. Millennia ago God built on the hills of heaven a great homestead for a family innumerable, yet to he. .At first he lived alone in that great house, but after awhile it vas occu- pied by a very large family, cherubic, seraphic, abgelie. The eternities passed on, and many of the habitants passed on, and many of the inhabit- ants nhabitants became wayward and left, nev- er to return, and many of the apart- ments were vacated, 1 refer to the seraphic, angelic. Tbe eternities, are filling up again. There are ar- rivals at the old homestead of Hod's children every day, and the day will come when there will be no unoccu- pied room in all the house, As you and I expect to enter it and make there eternal residence, I thought you would like to get some more particulars about the many roomed homestead, "In my Father's house are many rooms." You see, the place Is to be apportioned off in- to apartments. We shall love all who are in heaven, but there aro some very good people whom we would not want to live with in the same room. They may be better than we are, but they are of a divergent tem- perament. We would like to meet with. them on the golden streets andi worship with them in the temple and walk with them on the river banks, but I am glad to say that we shall live in different apartments. "In my Father's house are many rooms." You see, heaven will be so large that if one wants an entire room to him- self or herself it can be afforded. An ingenious statistician, taking the statement made in Revelation, twenty-first chapter, that the hea- venly Jerusalem was measured and found to be 12,000 furlongs and that the length and height and breadth of it are equal, says that would make heaven in size 948 sextillion 988 quintillion cubic feet, and then, re- serving a certain portion for the court of heaven and the streets and estimating that, the world may last a hundred thousand years, he ciphers out that there arc over 5,000,000,- 000,000 rooms, each room 17 feet long, 16 feet wide, 15 feet high. But ;I have no faith in the accuracy of tthat calculation. He makes the ,rooms too small. From all I can , read, the rooms . will be palatial, and ,those who have not had enough room in this world will have plenty 'of room at the last. Carrying out still further the sym- bolism of the text, let us join hands and go up to this majestic home- stead and see for ourselves. As we ascend the golden steps an invisible guardsman swings open the front door,. and we are ushered to the right into the reception room of the old homestead. That is the place where we first meet the welcome of heaven. There must be a place where the departed spirit enters and a place in which it confronts the in- habitants celestial.. The reception room of the newly arrived from this world—what scones it must have witnessed since 'the first guest ar- rived, r the victim ctlxn of the Brat fratri- cide, pious Abel! In that room Christ lovingly greets all new -comers. He redeemed them, 'and he has the right to the first embrace on arrival. What s minute when the ascended spirit. °Soret sees the Lord! Better than all iwe 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 dash of his appearance in that reception room. At that mo- hent when yon confront each other, Christ looking upon you and you looking upon Christ, there will bo an ecstatic thrill and surging of Rana dols that beggar all description. Look! The;, need no introduction, Longago Christ chose Lhat rep acs tri ant sinner, +.nd that repentant sir - tier ehose Christ, Mightiest moment of an immortal history ....the first kiss of heaven! Jesus and the soul! The soul and Jesus! But pow into that reception room pour the glorified kinsfolk, enough of earthly retention to let you know them, but without their wounds or their sicknesses or their troubles-- see roublessee what heaven bas done for them— so radiant, so gleeful, so transport- ingly lovely! They call you by name,. They greet you with an ardor pro- portioned to tbe anguish of your parting and the length of your sepa- ration Father! Mother! There Is your Child. Sisters! Brothers; Friends! I wish you joy. For years apart, together again in the recep- tion room of the old homestead. You see, they will know you are coaling. There are so inauy immortals falling alt the spaces between here and hea- von that news Ulm that files like lightning. They will be there in ton instant. Though they were in some other world on errand from God, a signal would he thrown that would fetch. them. Though you might at first feel dazed and overawed nt their supernal splendor, all that feel- ing will be gone at their !first touch of heavenly salutation, and we will say; "Oh, my lost boy!" "Oh, lay lost companion'," "Oh, my lost f'rie'nd! Are we here together?" What scenes in that reception room of the old homestead have been wit.. messed! There met Joseph and Jacob, finding it a. brighter room than any- thing they saw in Pharoah's palace; David and the little child for -Munn he *rico fasted and wept; Mary and Lazarus after the heartbreak of Bethany; Timothy and grandmother Lois: Isabella. Graham and her sail- or son; Alfred and George Cooktnan, the mystery of the sea at last trade manifest: Luther and Magdalene. the daughter he bemoaned: John `Howe and and the prisoners whom be gas- pelized, and multitudes without pant- her who, once so weary and so sad, parted on earth. but gloriously met inteaven. Among all the rooms of that house there is no one that more enrapiutcs my soul than that recep- tion room. "In any Father's house are many rooms." Another room in our 'l'ather's house is the throne -room. We be- long to the royal family. The blood of Icing Jesus flows in our veins, so we have a right to enter the throne - room. It is no easy thing an earth to get through even the outside door of a king's residence. During the Franco-German. war, one eventide in the summer of 1870, I stood study- ing the exquisite seuipturing of the gate of the Tuileries, Paris. Lost in admiration of the wonderful art of that gate, I knew not that I was exciting suspicion, Lowering my eyes to the crowds of people, I found myself being closely inspected lay the government *Ingalls, ls, who, from my complexion, judged me to be a Ger- man and that for soma belligerent purpose I might be examining the gates of the palace. My explanation. in very poor French did not satisfy them, and they followedme long dis- tamces until I reached lay hotel and were not satisfied until from my ]andlard they found that I was only an inoffensive American. The gates of earthly palaces are carefully guarded, and, if so, how much more the throne -room! A dazzling palace is it for mirrors and all costly art. No one who has ever saw the throne - room of the first and only Napoleon will ever forget the letter N em- broidered in purple and gold on the upholstery of chair and window, the letter N gilded on the wall, the let- ter etter N chased on the chalices, the let- ter etter N flaming from the ceiling. What a Conflagration of brilliance the throne -room of Charles Immanuel of Sardinia, of Ferdinand of Spain, of Elizabeth of England, of Boniface of Italy! But the throne -room of our Father's house hath a glory eclips- ing all the throne -rooms that ever saw scepter wave or crown glitter or foreign embassador bow, for our Father's throne is a throne of grace, a throne of mercy, a throne of holi- ness, a throne of justice, a throne of universal dominion. We need not stand shivering and cowering before it, for our Father says wo may yet one day come up and sit on it be- side him. "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne." The crowns of the royal family of this world are tossed about from generation to generation, and from family to family. There are men comparatively young in Berlin who have seen the crown on three emper- ors. But wherever the coronets of this world rise or fall they are des- tined to meet in one place. And I look and see them coming from north and south- and east and west, the Spanish crown, the Italian crown, the. English crown, the Turkish crown, the Russian crown, the Per- sian crown—aye, all the crowns from under the great archivolt of heaven—and while I watch and won- der they are all flung in rain of dia- monds around the pierced feet. Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run, His kingdom stretch from *shore to shore Till sun shall rise and set no more. Another room in our Father's house is the music room. St. John and other Bible writers talk so much about the music of heaven that there must be music , there, perhaps not such as on earth was thrummed h mmed from trembling string or evoked by touch of ivory key, but if not that, then something better. There are so many Christian harpists and Christ- ian composers and, Christian organ- ists and Christian choristers and Chrietiaa hymnologists that have gome, up from earth, there must• be bit asaaaist- Rome place of especial delectation. Shall we have music in this world of discords and no music in the land of complete harmony? I cannot give you the notes of the first bar of the new song that issung in heaven. I cannot imagine either the solo or the doxology. But heaven means music, and can wean nothing else. Occas *tonally that music has escaped the gate. Dr, Fuller, dying at Beaufort, S.C., *aid, "Do you not hear?" "Hear what?" exclaimed the by- standers. "The music! Lift me up! Open the windows!" Another room in our Father's use lao will be the family room. It may correspond somewhat with the family room on earth. At morning and evening, you know, that is the pace we how meet. Though every member of the household have separate room, in the family room they all gather, and joys and sor- rows and experiences of all sty 1 _. are there rehearsed. Sacred 'morns in all our dwellings, whether it he lux urieus with ottomans and divans and books in Russian lids standing in mahogany case or there he only a few plain chairs end a cradle. So the family room, on high will be the place where the kinsfolk assemble and talk ever the family experiences of earth, the weddings, the births, the burials, the festal days of Christmaa and Thanksgiving reunion. 'Will the children departed ren .iaa children there? Will the aged remain, aged there? Qh, not Everything is pees fect there. Tba child will go ahead to glorified maturity. and the aged will go back to glorified maturity. However muck we love our children on earth, we would consider it a doe zuestie disaster if they stayed chit, dren, and so we rejoice at their growth here. ,And when we meet in the family room of our Father"a house we will be glad. that they have grandly and gloriously rootur- ed, while our parents. who were aged. and infirm here, wo shall be glad to find restored to the most agile and vigorous immortality there, If 40 or 45 or r0 years be the apes: of physical and. mental life on earth, then the heavenly childhood will ad - 'Once to that, and the heavenly old ago 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 strug- gle? Did you know when we lost our property and sympathize with us? Were you pleased when we started for heaven? Aid you celebrate the Hour of our conversion? And then, whether they know it or not, we will tell them all. But they will have more to tell us than we to tell them. Ten years on earth may be very eventful, but what must be the bi- ography of ten years in heaven? They will have to tell us the story of coronations, story of news from all immensity. story of conquerors and hierarchs, story of wrecked or ransomed planets, story of angelic victory aver diabolic revolts, of ex- tinga:ished suns, of obliterated con- stellations, of new galaxies kindled and swung, of stranded comets, of worlds of fire, and story of Jehov- ah's reign. If in that family room of our Father's house wo have so much to tell them of what we have passed through since wo parted, how much more thrilling and arous- ing that which they have to tell us of what they have passed through since wo parted: Surely that family room will be one of the most favor- ed rooms in all our Father's house. What long lingering there, for wo shall never again be in a hurry!• "Let me open a window," said a humble Christian servant to Lady Rallies, who, because of the death of her child, had shut herself up in a dark room and refused to see any one. You have been many days in this dark room. Are you not ashamed to grieve in this manner when you ought to be thanking God for having given you the most beau- tiful child that ever was seen, and, instead of leaving him in this world till he should be worn with trouble, has not God taken hien to heaven in all his beauty? Leave ori weeping and let me open a window." How would it do for any person to leave you in that family room to -day? I am sure there is no room in which you would rather stay than in the enraptured circle of your ascended and glorified kinsfolk, We might visit other rooms in our Father's house. There may be pic- ture galleries penciled not with earthly art, but by some process un- known in this world, preserving for the next world the brightest and most stupendous scenes of human history, and there may be lines and forms of earthly beauty preserved whiter and chaster and richer than Venetian sculpture ever wrought -- rooms beside rooms, rooms over rooms, large rooms, majestic rooms, opalescent rooms, amethystine rooms. "In my Father's house are many rooms." I hope none of us will be disap- pointed about getting there. Thera is a room for us if we will go and take it, but in order to reach it it is absolutely necessary that we take the right way, and Christ is the way,. and we must enter at the right door, and Christ is the door, and we must start in time, and the only hour you are sure of is the hour the clock now strikes, and the only sec- ond the one your watch is now tick- ing. I hold in my hand a roll of let- ters inviting you all to make that your home forever. The New Testa- ment is only a roll of letters invit- ing you, as tho spirit 'of them prac- tically says: "My dying yet immor- tal child in earthly neighborhood, I have built fore you a great residence. It is full of rooms. I have furnish- ed them as no palace was ever fur- nished. Pearls are nothing, emeralds aro nothing, chrysopt;asus is nothing, illumined panels of sunrise and sun- set nothing, the aurora of northern heavens nothing, compared with the splendour ' with which I have garni- tured them. But you must be clean before you can enter there, and so I have opened 'a fountain where you may 'wash all our sins away. Comae now f Put your weary but cleansed feet on the upward path- way. Do you not see amid the> thick foliage on the heavenly hill- tops the old family homestead ?" "In my father's house are many rooms."

Tbe skirts are just as long in front and train in the back as much as they have all summer. They may be disease breeders and microbe gatherers; but, for all that, lovely woman goes on her way serenely, and her gown trails be- hind her. Most of the long coats have very sloping shoulders, with the sleeves cut in one piece with the body of the gar- ment. All the collars, whether of fur, velvet, satin or silk, are soft and full, failing in crushed jabots from the neck. In fact, this softness and flimsiness are new features of the coming season. Everything -the cloths, the silks, the satins -is just as flimsy as it can be. To rustle is to be out of the fashion. To be that is to be out of the world. There are no stiff taffetas either for linings or petticoats. The woman who rustles is either wearing an old gown or is not up with the styles. All the new gowns are lined with oriental satins, taffetas, mousseline and all the newest weaves of soft finished silks. Brown tan and pastel shades are mentioned as being the most in favor this coming winter, though there are some reds and a few blues. Fringe is the very latest in novelties and will be the rage tbis winter. Lt will be made to order in colors to match the gown and will be used profusely. One of the simplest yet smartest gowns shown to the writer was a costume of shepherd's plaid in a blue and white check. The lower skirt was devoid of any trimming, but flared considerably..
