Why do I make these' two astounding Statements? First, because I find recorded In the eighth chapter of Revelation the startling fact that “there was silence In heaven about the space of half nn hour." If heaven was always a still pis re would 8t. John have written that sentence In reference to the day of Judgment. If you would Interpret that passage In a common sense way would you not practically say*. Why. heaven U such s busy place that all the angels and archangels and redeemed Immortal* are working, and working all the time? But when 81. John saw the books of the Judgment opened then there was an awful stillnesa. Every winged messenger kept ■till, every work ceased, every occupation was snspendi-d" As All»ert Barnes interpreted this passage. “Then there was nn awful stillness, ns if all henvtw reverently waiting for the development." Oh. ye*, heaven ta to tie a busy plate. It bn* been very busy during ail the year* and the millennium* that are paid. It will be very busy during II the eternities that are to come, with the exception of one cessation of work for a short tlase. whea there sbaH be ••silence in heaven for atwrat the space

of half an hour.”

Following my first premise that heave* ta t* be a busy place *uy second premise to likewise true. • How do I know that the bney occupation* of hearea wiE uever offer despised work for the redeemed Im mortals? The words at iip text prove that. The dogs of the east were the -scavenger*. The t-axtecu people bafi wo wonderful system* of'-ecwemgi: a* have we. They had we mean* of -carrying sway by sobterranrea -pipe# Tbe offal wn4 of titer I urge towns.

The nnstern «log’s -death to -a gloomy picture. He 'dies the death at all wild beasts, awd that death ia a fragedy. Some year* age the author of a history of the beasts off the African forests made this staHvncnt which -will long

,a natural death. No wsmer does bis ipbyalral strength weaktm than there

are some bestial or serpewtine cawalbals or some enemy of Ida sprcle* ready to feed upon his dying body and etlB the feeble or the quirk beatings tit hta heart" That nsentir every deer or lawn that dire dire a tragic death. Every quick eyed and sharp clawed lynx fall in time before a mortal foe. Every mom ter lender of the Bkptenttae terd. every shaggy maned Bengal king, mnattdle a violent death. So dire the dog;'but, thank God, a# does not die the

Inevitable that be must die. Buddeuly, aa be lay upon the ground, a Urge bird of prey, with a red nock growing out of a ruffle of fratbers. Mine swooping along, almost touching my father's l»udy with Us wings, and then, circling up, It allghtid on a point of a rock and turned its blood red eye on Its Intended victim. As my father saw that horrible thing watching and waiting to tear him lu pieces, even before life was extinct. It so filled him with horror that he cried: T cannot endure thla. When 1 am unable to drive that fearful thing away. It will be tearing my flesh.' He rose to bis feet and crawled and straggled on till at length he crept Into a hut and found safety." The death which menaced that wounded man is the death which •alts the eastern dog. When he is Incapable of defending himself he is to pieces. Men. too. bare perished through the vindictive passion* of titer, fellows. Home have been cnl rifled, a* was Christ: some have been stoned, a* was Htepben; aotn^bave been beheaded, a* waa I’aui; some have been burned at the stake, a* wen* Kid ley and Ijitimer. But bow different was their future from that of the dog! From out those crushed and mutilated bodies the martyr spirits have gone up. redeemed and glorified, to dwell

forever before the throne.

O ye mortals, destined to live for eVer either In bliss or In misery, does not the offer thst Christ makes you stir your desire for salvation? Accept hta proffered gift, and then, be your end what it may. your bring rooted up from this world, with Its bitter fruits of sorrow and pain and misery, will mean nothing more than your being transplanted into that supernal garden in which you will grow and flourish and brer fruit to the honor sod glory of God. There ta an old legend that when King Holomon was a boy one day he becked hta treeber to abow him a miracle. Nathan thrust his finger into the soil and dropped therein s little seed. Immediately that seed began to sprout. While the lad looked on the two little gre?p leave* Into a round stem. Then the stem swelled out with the trunk of a large tree. Then the tree, like “the seven branches, became like the seven candlestick* of the altars." and the birds of the air flew into those hranchand bnllded there their nests and reared their young. While he looked the blossoms grew upon that tree, and ben those blossom* were changed into the deep rich red fruit which blushed Ike the glow of the setting sun. That U merely a legend, but there Is a real miracle which can be worked In your lives Infinitely greater than young Sol-

omon ta supposed to have seen.

The seed of eternal life planted by the Holy Spirit In your heart can change your whole nature. Instead of those qualities which- degrade you to the level of the brutes. Inst red of the sinful propensities whk-h distort and deform your being, there shall grow from that divine seed a plant of beauty, graceful sad glorious with heavenly loveliness and eternal In ever developing life. “Ye shall be like s tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth Its fruit In Its season, and whatsoever ye doeth shall prosper." What is your choice? Will you live a life of beauty and naefnlnees. a life patterned on that divine life which Christ lived on earth, ending In a triumphant resurrection. or will you choose the wickedness. the rice, the corruption, of the -world, feeding like the eastern dog ou the carrion of life and becoming In nature like him? Remember. If ye live after the flesh ye shall die. and from that abode of bliss, where there are Joys forever more, you will be excluded with all whose natures have grown fierce and cruel and debased. “With-

out are dogs.”

Sometimes 'tta true thot the body of man m%y die the death ot a flog, but the Christian has hope ta hie death. Though 'hta body perish in battle or ta Accident, though It may to crashed or horned, so that It cannot be recognised, hta-ooul is safe. He has the conscious neos that Christ to able to keep that which tea teen committed to him and whatever may befall the body the soul

will he preserved.
