These songs were written and put in books to sell. Men have made a business of the sentiment we find in every breast of a homo beyond the grave. "John says: 'I saw How would you count this number? One at a time? I think he further says: 'I saw the small and great stand bsforc Yes, tho children nro all there.

Hell has never heard the wall of ono child's voice. Heaven has them nil. If not, we men had better give It up, for we will never got there. "Mother, put away the little shoe3 nnd dresses with a song of triumph, and never, say again, 'I have lost my Not one Is lost, for we know where they are, therefore they arc not lost. "We nro not only to know our loved one, but will know those who wo have helped to a better life.

They that go forth weeping, bearing the precious seed, will doubtless como again, rejoicing, bringing their sheaves with them. "Thero aro two worlds. The dead are Just out of sight. Our friends arc Just around the corner of Nature. We dwell In tho suburbs of tho city; they aro in the royal chamber.

"We are under the they are in the radiance of heaven. We Inhabit miniature tabernacles, which are built right under the eaves of God's everlasting palaces. "To know, friend, Is essential to the unravelling of the mysteries of this life. What I do now thou shalt not know, but thou shalt know hereafter, says Jesus. Go weeping ones, look, your crowns aro gathering luster.

Your harps are being tuned to deeper and sweeter notes of Joy." Mlbs Hall sang again. In keeping with Mr. Williams' subject. Tho subject for the meeting tonight will bo "Doubting Thomas."
