JUllY 7. .1 Homo the Favorite Illbllcal Slinllu for My House Are Many Doctor'n Idea ot Whut tho Home of the Itlost Will lie. -The ILuiitons, N. July Rev. T.

De Witt Talmagc, preached here today on tue subject: "Our Houso on the Hills." H.islext was iriv, 2: "lu mv Father's arc mauy rooms." He said: a bottle of medicine thut is a cnroajl." Tire disciples were sad und Oilrist offered lieaven as an allerna and a tonic. tHe shows" thorn. that their sorrows 'are only a dark hackgrbund of a.bright picture of felicity.vH6':lets llicm know tliat though now they live the.ldwlutxls they slinll yet have, a uplands. -Nearly-all Qie of heaven may be I um'not positive that in alt heuveu, there is a literal crown or harp or pearly gate or trtrrmo or "char? iot. They may bo only used to illus? trate the glories of the place, hut how i well they do ill The favorite symbol by which the Bible presents colostial 1 happiness is a house.

Paul, who never owned a house, although he hired one for two years in Italy, speaks of heav? en as a "house not made with-hands," and Christ in our text, tho translation of which is a little changed so as to give the more accurate meaning, says: "In my Father's house are many This divinely authorized compari? son of heaven to a great homestead or large accommodations 1 propose to car? ry out. In some healthy neighborhood a man buildsn very commodious hab? itation, lie must have room for all his children. The rooms come to be called afte.r the different members of the family. That is mother's room. That Is George's room.

That is Hen? ry's room. That is Flora's room. That is Mary's room. And the house is all occupied. But timo goes by and the sous go out into tho world and build their own homes and the daughters arc married or have talents enough singly to go out and do a good work in the world.

After a while the fa? ther and mother are almost alone in tho big house and, seated hy tho even- i ing stand, they say "Well, our fam? ily is no larger now than when we started together forty years ago." But time goes still further by und somo of the children nrc unfortunate und re? turn to the old homestead to live, and the grand-children, conic'with them, and perhaps great-grandchildren, and again the house is full. Many millen? nia ago God built on the hills of heuv? eu a great homestead for a family in numorable, yet to bo. At first ho lived alone" in that great house, but after a while it was occupied by a very large family, cherubic, seraphic, angelic. The eternities passed on and many of the iuhahitants became wayward aa-l left never to return. And many of tho apartments were vacated.

I refer the angels. Now theso apart Thcro are arrivals at the old homestead of God's children every day, und tho day will come when there will be no unoccu? pied room in all tho bouse. "in" mv fatuer'b house are many rooms." As you and I expect to enter it and make thcro eternal residence, I thought you would liko to get some riiorc particulars about that many roomed homestead. "In my Father's house arc many rooms." You see the place is to be apportioned off into apartments. We shall love all who are in heaven, but there are some very good people whom wo would not want to livo with in tho same room.

They may be better than we are, but they are of a divergent temperament. We would like to meet with them on the golden streetsan.i the temple ami walk with them on the river banks, but 1 am glad to say that we shall livo in different apartments, "In my Fathers house- uro many rooms." You seo heaven will Ic so largo that if ono want an entire room I to himself or herself, it can be afford-1 ed. An ingenious statistician, taking tho statement made in Rovelation. twenty-first chapter, that the heaven- ly Jerusalem was measured and found to be twelve thousand furlongs and that the length and height and breadth of itorc equal, says that would make heaven in sizo MS scxtillion 988 qulntillion cubic feet, and then reserv? ing a certain portion for the court of heaven und tho streets, rnd estimating that the world may last a hundred thousand years, ho ciphers out that there are over livo trillion rooms, each room seventeen feet long, sixteen feet wide, fifteen feet high. But 1 have no faith in the accuracy of that calcu? lation.

Ho makes the rooms too small. From all 1 can read, tho rooms will be palatial, and those who have not had enough room in this worjdj will have plenty of room at the last. The fact is that most people in this world are crowded, and though out on a vast prairie or in a mountain district'peo? ple may have more room I want, iii most cases it is house built close to house, and tho streets are crowded aiid the cradle is crowded other cradles, and the graves crowded in tho cemetery by other fgraves, and one of the richest uxuries of many people in get? ting out of this world will bo the "gaining of unhindered and uncramp ed room. And 1 sliould net wonder if instead of the room that the statis? tician eiphered outasonly 17 feet by 16, it should be larger than the im? perial rooms at Berlin, St. Jan.es or Winter palace.

"In my Father's bouse are many rooms." Carrying out still further the symbolism of the text let us join hands and go up to this" majes? tic homestead and see for ourselves. we will uk ushered in. As we ascend the golden steps; an invisible guardsman swings open tho front door and we are ushered to the right into tho reception room of the old homestead. That is the place where we first meet the welcomo of heaven. There must bo.

a place where the departed spirit enters and a place -tu which it confronts the inhabitants cc- icstiai. The reception room of thancw- ly arrived from this scenes it must havo witnessed since the first truest arrived, the victim of the first fratricide, pious Abel. In that room Christ lovingly greeted all new com? ers. He redeemed, them and he has the right to the first embrace on their arrival. What a minute whe'n the ascended spirit first sees, the Lord, Better than all we ever read about' Ii tin or about him or sum? about him me cnurcnes arm through all our earthly lifetime, will it be, just for ouo s'-coud lo see him.

The most rapturous ideu wo ever had of him on sacramental days orut the height of some great revi val or under the uplifted baton of an oratorio are a bankruptcy of thought compared with the first Hush of his appearance in that reception room. At that moment when you confront each other, Christ look? ing upon you and you looking upon Christ, there will bo an ecstatic thrill and surgingof emotion that beggars all description. Look I They need no in? troduction. Long ago Christ chose that repentant sinner and that repent? ant sinner chose Christ. Mightiest moment of an immortal tirstkiss of heaven I Jesus and the soul.

The soul and Jesus. But now into that reception room pour the glorified, kinsfolk. Enough of earthly retention to. let know but' without their wounds or their sicknesses or their troubles. See what heaven has dbno for them, tib radiant, so-gleeful, so tratispwtingly call yba 'bynamcr- Tl-ey' greet you with on ardor proportioned to tho anguish' of your parting and the length of your separation.

Father! Mothorl There is your child. Sisters! Brothers I Friends! I wish you joy. For years npurt, together again iu the reception room of Ineold Homestead. You see they will know you uro com? ing. There are so many immortals filling all the spaces between here and heaven that news like that ilies like lightning.

They will bo there in an instant; though they were iu some other 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, ull that feeling will be gone at their first touch of heavenly salutation and we will say: my lost "0 inv lost compan? ion." my Tost friend; uro wo liere What scenes have been witnessed in that reception room of the old homestead I There mot Joseph and Jacob, finding it a brighter room than anything they saw in Pharaoh's palaco; Davidand the little child for whom ho once fasted and wept; Mary and after tho heartbreak of Bethany; Timothy and grandmother Lois; Isabella Graham and her sailor son, All'roil and George Copkman, the mystery of tho sea at last made mani? fest; Luther and Magdalene, the daughter he bemoaned; John Howard and the prisoners.whom hogospelized; and multitudes without number who, once so weary and so sad, parted on earth but gloriously met in heaven. Among all tho rooms of that house there is no 011c that more enraptures my soul than that reception room. "In my Father's house aro many rooms. WE ARE OF THIS ROYAL FAMILY.

Another room in our Father's house is the throne room. Wo belong to lire royal family. The blood of King Jesus flows in our veins, so we have right to enter tho throno room. It is no easy thing on earth to get through even the outside door of a king's resi? dence. During tho Franco-German war one eventide in tho summer of 1870, 1 stood studying the exquisite sculpturing of.

the gate Tuilcr ics, Paris. Lost in admiration of the art of that gate I knew not I was exciting suspicion. Lower lug- my eyes tho crowds of people 1 foundmyself boingc.losely by governmental officials, who from my complexion judged me to bo a Ger? man, and that for some belligerent purpose I might bo examining the gates of tho palace My explanations in very French did not satisfy them and tlioy followed mo long dis? tances until 1 reached my hotel, and, wore not satisfied until from my land? lord they fofind thatl was only an in? offensive American. The gates of earthly palaces arc carefully guarded, and. ii' so.

how much more severely the throno room. A.dazzling place is it for mirrors and all costly arL No one who ever raw the throne room of tho first and only Napoleon will ever forget tho letter embroidered in pur? ple and gold on the upholstery of chair and window, tho letter gilded on the wall, the letter chased on the chalices, tho letter flaming from the What a conflagration of brilliance the throne room of Charles Immanuel of Sardinia, of Ferdinand of Spain, of Elizabeth of England, of I Boniface of Italy. But the throne 1 room of our Father's houso hath a glory eclipsing all tho throne rooms I that ever saw scepter wave or crown glitter or foreign ambassador for I our Fathers throne is a throno of f-raeo, a throno of mercy, a throne of lbliuess. a throne of justice, a throne of universal dominion. We need not stand shivering and cowering before it.

for our Father says we liiay vet one day come up and sit on it beside him. "To him that ovcreomcth will I grant to sit withjne in my throne." You see wo arc princes and princesses. Perhaps now wo move about incognito, as Peter the Great in tho garb of ii ship carpenter at Amsterdam or as Gjueeu Tirzah in the dress of a peasant wo? man seeking the prophet for her child's cure; Uut it will bo found out after awhile who we aro when wo get into tho. throne room. Aye I wo need not wait until then.

We mav by prayer and song and spiri? tual uplifting this moment enter the throne room. 0 king, livo for? ever! We touch tho forgiving scep? ter and prostrate ourselves at thy feet! The crowns of the royal families of this world aro tossed about from gen? eration to generation and from 1am ily to family. There arc children four veal's old in Berlin who have seen the crown'on three emperors. But wher evar the coronets of this world rise or are-destined to meet in one place. And look and seo 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, tho Persian crown, aye.

all thecrowns from under the great archivolt of heaven; and I watch and won? der they are all flung in ruin of dia? monds around the pierced feet. Jesus shall where'er tho sun Does his snixosKivo journeys run, Ills kingdom stretch shore to shore Tiil suu shall rise and set no more. Oh, that throne room of Christ! "In my Father's house arc many rooms." rPLENTY OF MUSIC IK HEAVES. Another room in our Father's house is the music room; SL John and other I Bible writers talk so much about the music of heaven that there must be music there, perhaps not such as on earth was thruimned from trembling string or evoked by touch of ivory key, but if not that, then something belter. There aro so many Christian harpists and Christian composers and orir-ju'iU end ClirisJuu choristers ana Christian hymnoio Sists tliat hare gone up from "earth, icro must he for them some place 01" especial delectation.

Shall we have music iu this world of discords and no music in" the land of complete har? mony? I cannot give you the notes of the first bar of the new song that is sung in heaven, I cannot imugino cither the solo or the doxdlogy. But heaven means music, and can mean nothing else. that music has escaped the gate. Dr. Fuller dy? ing at Beaufort, S.

said: "Do you not hear?" "Hear what?" exclaimed the bystanders. "The music! Lift me upl Open the window 1" In that music room of our Father's house, you will some duy meet the old Chris? tian masters, Mozart and Handel 1 Mendelssohn und Beethoven and dridge, wliose sacred was as remarkable as his sacred proce, and James Montgomery and William Cowpcr, at last got rid of bis spiritual melanchoR, and Bishop Heber, who sang of "Greenland's lev mountains and. India's, strand Baffles, wh? realms of light," and Isaac Watts, who wont to visit Sir Uromas'Asbney and wife- for but proved him? self so agreeable a guest that they made him stay thirty-six years; and side by side, Augustus Top lady, who has got over his disliko for Methodists, and Charles Wesley freed from his dislike for Calvinists: and George W. Bethune, as sweet as a song maker, as he was great as a preacher and the author of "The Vil? lage many who wrote in verso or song, in church or by eventide cradle, and many who were passionate? ly fond of music but could make nouc themselves. The poorest there more than any earthly prima donna, and the poorest players there more than any earthly Gottscbalk.

Oh that music room, tho headquarters of cadence and rhythm, symphony and chant, psalm, and anttphou! May we be there somo hour when Haydn sits at the keys of one of Iiis own or? atorios, and David the psalmist fin ger.j tho harp, and Miriam of tho Red 'sea banks claps' tho cymbals, and Ga? briel puts his lips to tho trumpet and the four-and-twenty soldiers chant, and Lind-and Parepu render match lass duct in the music room of tho old 'heavenly homestead. "In my Fa? ther's house are many rooms." ROOMS FOR THE FAMILY. Another room in our Father's house will bo the family room. It may cor respond somewhat with tho family room on earth. At morning and even? ing, you know, that is the place we now Though every member of tho household have a separate room, in tho family room they all gather, and joys and sorrows and experiences of all styles are thcro rehearsed.

Sacred room in all our dwellings! Whether it be luxurious with otto? mans aud divans and hooks in Rus? sian lids standing in mahogany case, or there only a fow plain "chairs and a cradle. So the family room on high will bo tho place where tho kins? folk assemblo and talk over the fam? ily experiences of earth, the weddings, tho births, the burials, the festal days of Christmas and Thanksgiving re Will the children departed remain children there? Will the aired remain aged there? Oh. no; everything is perfect there. The child will go ahead to glori? fied maturity and the aged will go back to glorified maturity. The rising sun of tho one will rise to me ridian and the descending sun of the other will return to meridian.

How? ever much we love our children on earth we would consider it a domestic disaster if they stayed children and so wo rejoice at the'ir growth here. And when wo meet in tho family room of; our Father's house, we will bo glad that thev havo grandly and gloriously matured; while our parents who were aged and infirm here, we shall be glad to find restored to tho most agile and vigorous immortality there. If forty or forty-flvo or fifty youis be the apex of physical and mental life on earth, then the heavenly childhood will udvuucc to that and the heavenly old ngo will retreat to that. When wc join them in that family room we shall have much to tell them. Wo shall want to know of them right' away such things as these: Did you 1 sec us in this or that or the other struggle? Did you know when we lost our property and sympathize with us? Did you know wo hau that awful sickness? Were you hovering any? where around when we plunged into that memorable accident? Did you know of our backsliding? Did you know of that moral victory? Were you pleased when we started for heaven? Did 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 wc to tell them. Ten years on earth may be very eventful, but what must be the biography of ten years in heaven? They will have to tell us the story of coro? nations, story of news from all immensity, story of conquerors and bicrarchs, story of wrecked or ran? somed planets, story of angelic victory over diabolic revolts, of extinguished suns, of obliterated constellations, of now galaxies kindled and swung, of sti-anded comets, of worlds on fire, and story of Jehovah's majestic reign. If in that family room of our Father's house we have so much to tell them of what we havo passed through since we parted, how much more thrilling and arousing that which they have to tell us of what they have passed through since we parted. Surely that family room will lie one of the most favored rooms in all our Father's house. What long lingering there, for wo shall never again be in a hurry.

"I mo opcii a window," said an humble Christian servant to Lady Kalfies. who, because of the death of her child, bad shut herself up iii 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 bo thanking God for having given you the most bcauti ful child that ever was seen, and in stead of leaving him in this world till he should be worn with trouble, has not God taken him to heaven in all Ids beauty? Leave off weeping and let me open a window." So today 1 am trying to open upon the darkness of earthly separation tlfc windows and doors and rooms of the heavenly homestead. "In my Father's house are many rooms." IN CONCLUSION. How would it do for my sermon to leave you in that family loom today? I am sure there no room in which you would rather stay than in the en i-autured circle of voiir ascended aud gtorrried-' kinsfolk, vve nngiu other rooms in our Fathers house.

There may bo picture galleries pencil? ed' not with earthly art but by some process unknown m. this world, pre? serving for the next world the bright? est and niost stupendous scenes of hu? man history. And there may be lines and forms of earthly beauty preserved for heavenly inspection in something whiter niVJ. chaster and richer than sculpture ever wrought. Rooms beside rooms.

Rooms over rooms. Large rooms. Majestic rooms, opalescent rooms, amethystine rooms. Father's house are many 1 hope none of us will bo disappoint? ed about getting there. There is a room for us if wo will go and tako it, but in order', lb reach it it is absolutely neces? sary tliat we take the right Christ is t)ie way; and we- jrhust.

enter at the right and Christ ffci tho. and we must start in time, the fonly hour you of is. the; hour tho WaYcli" Is how ticking. -I hold hr "li'iy hand a roll of letters inviting.you all to make that your homo forever. The Now Testament is roll of letters inviting as tlip spirit of them practically says: "My dying yet im? mortal child in earthly neighborhood, I have built for you a great residence.

It is full of rooms. I nave furnished them as no palace was ever furnished. Pearls are nothing, emeralds are noth? ing, chrysophrasus is nothing; mmed panels of sunrise and; sunset, nothing; tho aurora of the northern heavens, with the splendor with which I have garni tu red them. But you must be clean before you can enter there, and so I havo opened a fountain where you may wash ail your sins away. Come now! Put your weary but feet on tho upward Do you not sco amid tho thick foliage on the heavenly hill tops die old family homestead?" "In my Father's house are many rooms." IltMtiiurnnts.

Prices at the exposition itsolf vary. A restaurant which you lind cheap, or moderately cheap, one day, be? comes dear the day after; or porliapa is cheap iu tho morning and dear in tho evening. The lav of supply and so precious to the politiea! economist and often so-odious in act? ual life, cxpluins this variability. If there are' few customers they may havo their cutlet and wine at reason? able rates. If there are many, they must pay for the charm of each others and for tho competition.

Every restaurant keeper inside tho railings of the Champs de Mars has sworn an oath to retire next Novem? ber with a fortune. There is no pros? pect that any one of them will be for? sworn. But time and the whirligig Frenchman have their revenges. Itin? erant venders of eatables and drink? ables prowl outside tho railings and sell to the thrifty Parisian inside, who lunches or dines in this manner on the grass; tho restaurant man gnashing his teeth as ho beholds the cad New York Tribune. TAtc Duy of Trusts.

Trusts area Yankee invention, and apparently got their cue from the Standard Oil compuny. Great Brit? ain, however, taking up'the idea for all it is worth. During tho first three months of 18S9 nineteen English asso ciations were formed, with a capital of over Mast of theso arc sham affaire, gotten up purely for gammon and fraud. Sooner or later the bottom will fall out of every ono of them; and out of everything Of the kind. If there can be no legal check on the formation of such combina? tions the people who trust them must sull'cr the consequences while learn? ing the lesson.

The eternal truth re? mains that legordemuin of any sort will not turn a dollar into ten dollars without legitimately earning the bal? jjouis lobe-Democrat. AmbulKtinni in America has been drawn upon by England for many devices now in every day use in various branches of the public service, as well as of domes? tic economy. The latest idea transplant ed to English soil is that of the ambu? lance service for the relief of porsons injured.or taken suddenly ill ia larjre cities.
