THE GLORIFIED IN HEAVEN DESCRIB- ED BY TALMAGE. rhe Eloquent Divine Becomes Weary When He Tries to Caloalate the Number sof Souls in Glory -It is Simply Impos- sible to Reduce Them to Numbers or to Comprehend Their Happiness, LONDON, England, July 10, 1892. -Dr. Talmage is spending a very busy season in England. Not only in the London churches, but. in the provinces, enormous crowds have gathered to hear the eloquent American preacher. The 'great Shore- ditch Tabernacle in the East of London, where Rev. W. Cuff preaches, was throng- ed almost to suffocation, and the large Congregational Church in the - Hackney • District could not hold half the people who tried to get into it., though it was on a Monday evening that Dr. Talmage preach- ed there. Outside London, the eagerness to hear hiin has been quite as intense. In 1averpeoi, Manchester, Nottingham, Crewe and Hanley, no church -could • be found large enough to accommodate the au- diences, and Dr. Talmage preached in the halls in which the great political conven- tions are held, and the capacity of these was tested to the utmost. Since his ar- rival, he has preached seven times each week. The sermon selected for publica- tion this week is from the text.: • Rev. 7; 9-10,_ "After this I beheld,and, lo, a great multitude which no man could • number, of all nations, and kinclreds, and people, and. tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,- clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands ; and: cried with a ; loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God a which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the - Lamla." It is imposaible to come in contact with anything grand or beautiful in art, nature, or religion, without being profited and elevated. . We go into the 'art -gallery, and our soul meets the soul of the painter, and we hear the hum of the forests and the dash of his conflicts, and see the cloud -blossom- ing of the sky and the foam -blossoming of the ocean; and we come out from the gal- lery better men than when we went in. We go into the concert of music and are lifted into enchantment; for days after our soul seems to rock with a very tumult of joy, aE the sea, after a long stress of weather, rolla and rocks and surges a great while before it comes back to its ordinary calm. On the same principle is it profitable to think of Heaxeu, and look off upon that landscape of joy a,nd light which St. John depicts; the rivers of gladness, the trees of life, the thrones of power, the comminglinge of everlasting love. I wish this morning that I could bring Heaven from the list el intangibles, and make it seem .to you as it really is -the great fact in all history, the depot of all ages, the parlor of God's uni- verse. This account in my text gives a picture oi heaven as it is on a holiday. Now if a man came to New York for the first time on the day that Kossuth arrived from Hungary, and he saw the arches lifted, and the flowers flung in the streets, and he heard the guile booming, he would have been very foolish to suppose that that wavgIthe ordinary ap- pearance of the city. Wrule- heaven is al- ways grand and always beautiful, I think that my text speaks of a gala day in heaven. It is a time of great celebration -perhaps of the birth or the resurrection of Jesus; perhaps of the downfall of some despotism; perhaps because of the. rushing in of the millennium. I know uot what; but it does seem to me in reading this passage as if it were a holiday in Heaven ; "after this I be- held, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the -Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms In their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and, unto the Lamb." . shall speak to you of ti e g• lorified in Heaven -their number, then- antecedents, their dress, their symbols, and their sone. But how shall I begin by telling you of tga- munbers of those in Heaven? l have seen a curious estimate by an ingeuious man who - caleulates how long the world was going to last, aucl how many people there are in each generation, and thea sunis up the whole matter, and says he thinks there will be twenty-seven trillions of souls in glory. I nave no faith in his estimate. I simply take the plain announcement of the text - it is "a great multitude, which no nein can number." . Every few years in this country we take a census of the population, and it is Very easy to tell how many people there are in a city or a nation ; but who shall give the census of the great nation of the saved ? It is quite easy to tell how many people there are in different denominations of Christians -how many Baptists and Me- thodists and Episcopalians till(' Presby- terians- of all the denominations of Chris- tians we could make an estimate. Suppose they were gathered in one great audience room. ; how overwhelming the spectade ! But it would give no idea. of the reat au- dience room ef heaven -the multitudes that bow down and that lift -up their hosannas. Why„ they come from all the chapels, .from all the cathedrals, from all sects, from all ages ; they who prayed in spleodid liturgy, and those avho in broken sentences uttered the wish of broken hearts -from Grace Church and Sailor's Bethel, from under the shapeless rafters and froill under high - sprung arch—"a great multitude, that no man can number. One of the -most impressive things I have looked upon is an army. Standing upon a hillside you see forty thousand or fifty thousand men pass along. You cam hard- ly imagine the impression if you have not actually felt it. But you limy take all the armies that the --earth has ever seen - the legions under Sennacherib and Cyrus and &tsar, -Xerxes and Alexander and _Napoleon, and all anr modern forces and put them in one great array; and then on some swift steed you may ride along the line and review the troops ; and that accumu- lated host from all ages seems like a half - formed regiment. compared with the great array of the redeemed. I stood one day at Williamsport, and saw on the opposite side of the Potomac the for- cescolninae down, regiment after regiment, and brigade after • brigade. It seemed as though there Natia no end to the procession. But now let Inc tae the field -glass of St. John and look off amang the host of Heaven -thousands upon thousands,tun thousand times ten thousand, one latualeed and forty , and four thousand, and thousanda of thou- sands, until I put down the tield-glaas and say, "I cannot estimate it -a gauat multi- tude that no man can number." You may tax your imagination, and tor- ture your niasennity, and break down yow.-- powers of ealculation M attempting to ex- press the multitudes of the released from earth and the enraptured of Heaven, and talk of hundreds of hundreds ; of thousands of thousands of thousands ; of millions of millions of millions ; until your head aches and your heart faints, and exhausted and overburdened you exclaim: "I cannot count them-agreat multitude that no man can number.' But my subject advances and tells you of their antecedents, "of all nations and kin- dreds and. tongues." Some of thein spoke Scotch, Trial', German, English, Italian, Spanish, Tamil, Choctaw, llurniese. _Aft er men have been long in the land you can tell by _their accentuation faom what nationality they came; and I suppose in the area Eracmg arouna the throne, it W111 not oe Mt - &nit to ten from what part of the earth thev came. These reaped -Sioilian *heatfields- and those picked cotton from the pods. Thew under blistering , skies gathered_ tamarinds and yams. Those ,crossed the desert on 'camels and those glanced over the snow, drawn:by Siberian dogs, and these milked the goats far up on the Swiss crag!. Theme fought the walrus and white bear in regions of everlasting snow, and those heard. the song of fiery -winged birds in African thick- ets. They were white. They were black. They were red. They were copper color. From all lands'from all ages. They were plunged into Austrian dungeons. They passed through Spanish inquisitions. They were confined in London- Tower, They fought with beasts in the amphitheatre. They were Waldenses. They were Albi- genses. They Were Scotch Covenanters. They were Sandwich Islanders. In this world men prefer different kinds of government. The United States want a republic. The British Government needs to be a constitutional monarchy.Austria wants absolutism. But when they come up from earth from different nationalities, they will prefer one great monarchy -King Jesus ruler Over it. And if that monarchy were disbanded, and it were submitted to all the hosts of heaven who should rule, then by the unanimous suffrages °flail the redeemed, Christ would ),)ecome the president of the whole univerSel- Magna Chartas, bills of right, houses of burgesses, triumvirates, congresses, parliaments -nothing in the presence of Christ's sceptre, swaying Overall the people who haveentered upon that great glory. Oh! can you imagine it? What a strange commingling of tastes, of histories, of nationalities, "of all nations, and kindreds and people and tongues." My subject advances and tells you of the dress of thosein heaven. The object oi dress in this world is not only to veil the body but adorn it. The God who dress- es up the spring morning with blue ribbon of sky around the Crow, and ear- rings of dew -drops hung from tree branch, and mantle of crimson cloud flung over the shoulder, and the violeted slippers of the grass for her feet -I know that God does not despise beautiful apparel. Well, what shall we wear in heaven? "I saw a great multitude clothed in white robes." It is white! In this world we had sometimes to have on working apparel.'Bright and lus- trous garments would be ridiculously out of place sweltering amid forges, or mixing paints, or plastering ceilings, or binding books. In thia•-•world we must have the working -day apparel sometimes, and we; care not how coarse it is. It is appropriate; but when all the toil of earth is past, and. there is no more • drudgery . and no more weariness, we Shall stand before the throne robed in white. On earth we sometimes had to wear mourning apparel -black scarf for the arm, black veil for the face'black gloves for the hands, black band for the hat. Abraham mourning for Sarah ; Isaac mourn- ing for Rebecca ;. Rachel mourning for her children ; David- mourning for Absalom ; Mary mourniag for Lazarus. - Every second, of every minute of every hour of every day a heart breaks. - The earth from zone to zone and: from pole to pole is cleft with sepulchral rent; and the earth can easily afford to bloom and blossom when it is so rich with mould- ering life. Graves ! graves ! graves ! But when these bereavements have all passed, and there are no more graves to dig, and no more coffins to make, and no more sorrow to suffer, we shall pull off this mourning and be robed in white. I see a soul going right up from all this scene of sin and trouble into glory. I seem to hear him say: I journey forth rejoicing From this dark vale of tears, To heavenly joy and freedom, From earthly care and fear. When Christ my Lord shall gather All His redeemed again, His His kingdom to inherit - Good night, till then. I hear my Saviour calling; The joyful kour has come, The angel guards are ready To guide me to our home. When Christ our Lord shall gather All His redeemed again His kingdom to inherit— Good Good night, till theu. My subject .advances, and tells you of the symbols they carry. If my text had, repre- sented the good. in heaven as carrying cypress branches, that would have meant sorrow. If my text had represented the good in heaven as Carrying night -shade, that would have meant sin. But it is a palm branch they carry, and thatis victory. IVhen the people came lanne- from war in olden times, the eonquerer rode at the -head of his troops, and there were triumphal arches, and the people would conie out with branches of the palm tree and wave them all along the host. What a significant type this of the 'greeting and of the joy of the redeemed in heaven ! On earth they were condemned, and were put out of the polite circles. They had infamous hands strike - them on both cheeks. Infernal spite spat in their faces. Their back ached with sorrow. Their brew reeled with unalleviated toil. How weary they were ! Sometimes they broke the heart of tile midnight in the midst of all - their angUish, crying out "0 God !" But hark now to the sound of the delivered captives ; as they lift their arms from their shackles and they cry out, "Free ! Free !" They look back upon all the trialathrough which they have passed, the battles they have -fought, the burdens they carried, the misrepresentations they suffered, and because they are delive.red from all these, they stand before God wav- ing their palms. They comeatat the feet • of Christ and they look up into His • face, and they remember His sorrows, and they re- member His pa,in., and, they -remember Hifi groans, and they say : "Why, I was saved by that Christ. He pardoned my sins, He soothed my sorrows ;" and standing there they shall be exultant, waving their palms. That hand once held the implement of toil or wielded, the sword of -War ; but now it plucks -down the brandies from the tree of life as they stand before the throne. waiving their palms. _Once he was a pilgrim on earth ; he crunched the hard crusts ----he walked the weary way; but, it is all gone now, the sin gene, the weariness gone, the sorrow gone. As Christ stands up before , the great array of the saved and recounts his victories, it will be like the rocking and tossing of a forest in a tempest, as all the redeemed rise up, host beyond host, rank beyond rank, waving, wavina their palms. ly subject makes another advancement, and speaks of the -song- they sing. , Doctor Dick, in a very learned work, says . that among other things in healen he thinks , they -will give a great deal qf time to the :I study of arithmetic and the higher I do._ not branches of mathematics. beliektre ia. It would upset my idea. of heaaea if I thought so; I never liked mathe- matica ; and I would -rather take the repre- sentation of my text, which describes the occupation of heaven as being joyful psahn- ody. "They cried with a loud voice, say- ing. Salvation unto our God." In this world we have secular songs, nursery songs, boatmen's songs, harvest songs, sentimental songs.; but in heaven we will have taste for only one song, and that will be the song of salvation from an eternal death to an eter- nal heaven, through the blood of the Lamb that was slain. My friends, will you join that anthein ?• Shall we make rehearsalthis morning? If we cannot, sing that song on earth, we will not be able to sing it in heaven. Can it be that our good friends in that land will walk all through that great throng of which I - speak looking for us and not finding us? Will they come down to the a.ate and ask 1 ir we nave passed througn, and not tina us reported as having come? Will they look through the folios of eternal .light and find our names unrecorded? Is all this a repre- sentation of a land we shall never see? Of a song we shall never sing? LARGEST MASONIC LIBRARY - 'trainable Collection of Craftsmen's Lore -Its Creator and Preserver. The largest Masonic library in the world is that at Cedar Rapids, ,Iowa, belonging te the Grand Lodge of that State. It was started'in 1845 with an appropriation of $5, the first book in the collection being Cole's "Ahiman Rezon." There are now 12,000 tomes in the collection, withseveral thou- sand unbound pamphlet a an- d periodicals. The majority of the books are Masonic works, though there are hundreds upon allied subjects, as the :design is to collect everything bearing upon ,Masonry. There are books on he Egyptian mys- teries and religious woks of all nations. The collection is complete in fraternal peri- odicals and the proceedings of Xreisonic bodies, and there are many valuable works, duplicates of which do not exist. There are also curios by thousands, old coins and medals, antique pottery, bits of bronze and marble, rare prints and engravings. These historic souvenirs are housed and classified in a handsome structure of brick, stone and iron, valued at $32,000, erected by the Grand Lodge of Iowa. Essentially associated with this library is the Grand Secretary, Hon. Theodore S. Parvin, a distinguished gentleman, known wherever Masonry flourishes. He is now serving his 49th year in that position and the Iowa library is called " Parvin's hobby." He is its creator and by his intel- ligent and indefatigable zeal the library has reached the proud distinction it now enjoys. He has occupied prominent legal and scholastic positions in Iowa, and is widely known as an able writer and editor. He has been Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of England and received a magnificent jewel from the Prince of Wales. _The Grand Priory of Canada also presented him with a fine jewel in recognition of simi- lar service. -Toronto Telegram. .

A correspondent of Indian Engineering suggests a method of abating the smoke nuisance in close manufacturing localities by having a smoke duct running through a town, connected in a suitable manner with the different furnaces. In carrying out such a plan, it is suggested that the duet might be conveyed outside of the city to a condensing station, an exhaust machine being employed tc force the draught. At the condensing station the soot -laden air would be made to pass through water con- veniently proximate, in this way depositing the solid matter, while the air passes away comparatively pure; the soot which re- mains might easily be collected, caked, and used as fuel, etc. The dimensions of the duct for such a purpose would have to vary, as in the case of water and other mains, according to the work to be per- formed.

At a certain club house the other night, a Birmingham man, newly arrived, was lamenting his condition'and his folly in leaving an abundance at home and especi- ally two beautiful daughters who were just budding into womanhood, when he asked another club manif he had any family. "Yes, sir; I have a wife and six child- ren in Glasgow, and I never saw one of them." After this the couple sat a few minutes in silence, and the interrogator again com- menced: " Were you ever blind, sir ?" " No, Eir." Another lapse of silence. " Did I understand you to say, sir, that you had a wife and six children living in Glasgow and had never seen one of them ?" Yee, sir ; I stated it." Au -other and longer pause of silence. Then the interrogator again inquired "How can it be, sir, that you never saw one of them ?" " Why," was the response, "one of them was born after I left." " Oh ! ah !" and a general laugh then followed. DiT. Low's Worm Syrup removes worms of all kinds in children or adults. Children cry for it. REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.
