by the sett, and agonized for us ID tbe

to run our lingers along the scare of
ancient sufferings; to say, ' This Is

for this hour. T shall never turn my
back on thee. No more looking
through imperfect glasses. No more
tit.udying thea in the darkness. But.
as long as this throne sLands, and this
everlasting river flows, and those gar-
lands bloom, and these arches of vie,
tory remain to greet home heaven's
conquerors, so long I shah see thee,

Josue of my triumph -forever and for-
ever -face to facet"
The idea of the text is just as true
when applied to God's providence. Who
has not come to some pass in life
thoroughly inexplicable? You say,
"What does this meant What is God
going to do with me now? He tells
me that all things work together for
good. Tbis does not look like it."
You continuo to study the dispensation,
and after awhile guess about what
God means. "He means to teach Inc
this. I think he moans to teach mo
that Perhaps it is to humble my
Pride, Perhaps it is, to make me
feel more dependent. Perhaps to
teach me the uncertainity of life,"
But after all, it is only a guess -a
looking through the glass darkly. The
Bible assures us there shall be a satis-
factory unfolding. "What I do thou
koowest not now; but thou shalt know
hereafter." You will know wby God
Look to himself that only child. Next
doer there was a household of seven
ohildren. Why not take one from
that group, instead of your only one?
Why single out the dwelling inwhich'
there was only one heart beating res-
ponsive to yours? Why did God give
you a child at all? if hd meant to Lake
it away? Why fill the cup of your
gladness brimming, if be meant to dash
it down? Why allow all the tendrils
of your heart to wind around that
abject, and then, when every fibre of
your own life seemed interlocked
with the child's life, with strong hand
to tear apart, until you fall, bleeding
and crushed, your dwelling desolate,
your hopes blasted, your heart broken?
Do you suppose Guth God will explain
theta Yea. Ile will make it plainer
than any mathematical problem -as
plain as that two and two make four.
in the light of the throne you will
see that it Was right -all right. "Just
and true are all thy wags, thou King
of saints!"
Here is a man who' cannot get on in
the world. He always seems to buy
at the wrong time and to sell at the
worst disadvantage. Be tries this en-
terprise; and fails; that business, and
is disappointed. The man next door
to him has a luroative trade but be
leeks customers. A new prospect
spans. His income is increased. But
that year his family are sick; and the
profits are expended in trying to cure
the ailments. Ho gets u discouraged
look. Becomes faithless as to success.
Begins to expect disasters. Others
wait. for something to turn up; he
waits for it to turn dowse. Others with
only half ae much education and char-
acter, get on twice as well. He some-
times guesses as to what it, all means.
He says, "Perhaps riches would spoil
me. Perhaps poverty its necessary to
keep me humble. Perhaps I might, if
things were otherwise, be tempted
into dissipations." But there is no
complete solution of the mystery. He
sees through a glass darkly,. and must
wait for a higher unfolding. \Vill
there be an explanation? Yes; God will
take that man in the light of the
thorns, and say, "Child immortal, hear
tho explanation! You remember the
failing of that great enterprise -your
misfortune in 1837; your trial in 1857;
your disaster in 1887. This is the ex-
planation." And you will answer, "Itis
all right."
I see, every day,: profound myster-
ies of providence. There is no ques-
tion we ask oftener than Whyf Hospi-
tals for the blind and lame, asylums
for the idiotic and insane, elms -houses
for the destitute, and a world of pain
A despatch from Washington says: -
Rev. Dr. Talmage preached (rain the
following text: "icor now we see
through a glass, darkly; but then face
to face." -1 Cor, xiii. le.
The Bible is the most forceful and
pungent of books. Wbile it has the
sweetness of a mother's hush for hu-
man troubles, it has all the keenness
of a scimitar, and the Brushing power
of a lightning -bolt. It portrays with
more than a painter's power, at one
stroke, picturing a heavenly throne
and a judgment conflagration. The
string of this great harp are fingered
by all the splendors of the future, now
sounding with the crackle of consum-
ing worlds, now thrilling with the joy
of the everlasting emancipated. It
tells how one forbidden tree in the
Garden blasted the earth with sick-
ness and death; and hots another tree,
though leafless and bare, yet, planted
on Calvary, shall yield a fruit which
shall antidote the poison of the
other. It tells haw the red -ripe clus-
ters of God's wrath ware brought to
the wine -press, and Jesus trod them
out; and how, at last, all Lbe golden
chalices of heaven shall glow with the
wine of that awful vintage. 11 daz-
alea the eyes with an Ezekiel's Vis-
ion of wheel, and wing, and fire, and
whirlwind; and stoops down so low
that it can put its lips to the .eat' of
dying child, and say, "Come up high-
er,"
And yet Paul, in lay text, takes the
responsibility of Baying that it: is only
an indistinct mirror, and that its mis-
sion shall be suspended.. I think there
may be one Bible in heaven, fastened
to the throne. Susi as now, in Il mus-
eum, we have a tamp exhumed from
Herculaneum or Nineveh, and we look
at it with great interest, and say,
"How poor a light it must have given,
3ompared with our modern lamps 1" So
L think that this Bible, which was a
lump to our feet in this world, may
lie near the throne of God, exciting
our interest to all eternity by the con-
trast betweeu its comparatively feeble
light and the illumination of heaven.
The Bible, now, is the scaffolding to
the rising temple, but when the build-
ing is done there will be no use for the
scaffolding.
Tho idea 1 shall develop to -day is,
that in Lhis•world our knowledge is
lomparatively dim and unsatisfactory
but nevertheless is introductory to
grander and more eompi.ete vtsfon.
This is eminently true in regard to
our view of God, We hear so much
about God that we conclude we under-
stand him. He is represented as hav-
ing the tenderness of a father, the
firmness of a judge, the pomp of a
king and the love of a mother. We
hear about him, talk about flim, write
about him. We lisp hie name in in-
fancy, and it trembles on Lbe tongue
of the dying octogenarian. We think
that we know very much about him.
Take the attribute of mercy. Do we
understand it? Tho Bible blossoms a1i
over with that word -Mercy. It speaks
again and again of the tender merciee
of God ; of the sure 'mercies ; of the
great mercies; of the mercy that en-
duroth forever; of the multitude of
his mercies. And yet I know that the
views we have of this great .Being are
most indefinite, one-sided and incom-
plete. When, at death, the gates
shall fly open, and wo shall look di-
rectiy upon him, how new and sur-
prising
ur-ptising I \Ve see upon canvas a picture
of the early morning. We study
the cloud in the sky, the dew upon
the grass, and the husbandman on the
way to the field. Beautiful picture of
the morning l'But we rise at day -brook
and go up on a hill to see for ourselves
that whim'. was represented to us.
\\'bile we look the mountains are
transfigured, The burnished gates of
heaven swing open and shut, to let
pass a host of fiery splendors. The
clouds are all abloom, and hang pend-
ent from arbours of alabaster and ane-.
thyet The waters make pathway of
inlaid pearl for the light to walk upon;
and there is morning on the sea. The
crags uncover their sacred visage;
and there is morning among the moun-
tains. Now you go home and how tame
your picture of morning seems in con-
trastl Greater than that shall be the
contrast between this Scriptural view
of God and that which we shall have
• when standing face to face. This is a
picture of the morning; that will be
the morning itself.
Again ; my text is true of the Sav-
iour's excellency. By image, and sweet
rhythm of expression, and startling
antitheses, Christ is set forth -his hove,
his compassion,. his work, his life, his
death, pia resurrection. We are ohll:l-
lenged to m6Rsul•e it, to compute it,
to weigh it. In the hour of our brok-
en enthrallment, we mount up into
high experienee of his love, and shout

Again: the thought of tbe text is
just, when applied to the enjoyments we he able to say, like the Christian
of the righteous in heaven. I think d t' "Though a
we have but little idea of the nu•mbe>
of the righteous in heaven, Infidels
say: "Your heaven will be a very
small piece compared with the world
of the lost; for according to your
teaching, the majority of men will be
destroyed." I deny the charge. I
suppose that the multitude of the fin-
ally lost, as compared with the multi-
tude of the finally saved, will be a
handful. I suppose that the few sick
people in the Brooklyn City Hospital
to -day as compared with the hundreds
of thousands of well people in lin city,
wool? not be smaller than the num-
ber of those who shall have upon them
the health of heaven. For we are to
remember that we are living in only
the beginning of the dispensation, and
that' this whole world is to be populat-
ed and redeemed, and that ages of
light and love are to flow on. If this
he so, the multitudes•of the saved will
be in vast majority.

Those flashed up to heaven in martyr
fires; those were torn limb from limb
by Romliah inquisitions; those tossed
for many years upon the invalid -couch;
those fought in the armies of liberty,
and rose as they fell; Those tumbled
from high scaffoldings, or slipped from
the mast, or were washed off into the
sea. They came up from Corinth, from
Leodioea, from the Red Sea bank and
Gennesaret's wave, from Egyptian
brick -yards, and Gideon's thresbing-
floor. Those, thousands of years ago,
slept the lest sleep; and these are this
moment having their eyes closed, and
their limbs stretched out for the
sepulchre.
The farming community at Port
Robinson; and many miles around, are
intimately e
a acquainted with Mr, Har-
vey Horton. He is a young man, only
23 years of age, who farms in summer
and follows a steam thresher in au-
tumn and winter. While yet so young.
he has had, his alar, of pain and sick -
nese. Our reporter, hearing of Mr.
Horton's affliction sought an interview
witb him. Wham he learned the re-
porter's errand, he readily consented
to impart full details, which, are given
practically in his own weds: -"I do
not court newspaper notoriety," said
he, "yet Tam not afraid to say a

are a great number." And so John,
without etteanpting to octant, says, "A

'We are told that heaven is a place
of happiness; but what do we know
about happiness? Happiness in this
world is only a half -fledged thing ; a
flowery path, with a Berpont hissing
across it ; a broken pitcher, from which
the water has dropped before we could
drink it; a thrill of exhilaration, fol-
lowed by disastrous reactions. To help
us to understand the joy of heaven,
the Bible takes as to a river. 'We
stand on the grassy bank. We see
the waters flow on with ceaseless
wave. But the filth of the cities are
emptied into it; and the banks are
torn; and unhealthy exhalations
