over the pillow, blows into the face of 11
young princo tho frosls of pain and
death. Tears are wine to the Icing of
terrors. Alas, for David the King! He
can ticithor sleep nor eat. and lies pros
trate on his face, weeping and wailing
nutil tho pnlaco rings with tho outcry
of woe.
I Hhall Go to Him.
What arc courtly ntteudunts or vic
torious armies or conquered provinces
under such circuiusl.itncca? Whut to any
parent is all splendid surrounding when
his child is sick? Seven days hnvo pussed
ou. There, in that great house, two eye
lids art) gently closed, two little hands
folded, two littlo feet quiet, one heart
still. Tho servants come to bear tho tid-
iugs to tho kitig, but they cannot make
up their mimlR to tell him, und they
stand at tho door whispering about the
matter, und David hears them, oml he
looks up und says to them, "Is the child
dead?” “Yes, he is dead."
David rouses himself up, washes him
self, puts on new apparel and sits down
to food. What power hushed that tem
pest? What strength was it that lifted
up that king whom grief hud dethroned?
Oh, it was the thought that he would
come again into the possession of that
darling child! No gravedigger’s spade
could hide him. The wiutry blasts of
death could not put out the bright light.
There would be a forge somewhere that
with silver hammer would weld the
broken links I11 a city where the hoofs
of the pale horse never strike the pave
mont ho would clasp his lost treasure.
He wipes away the tears from his eyes,
and he clears the choking grief from his
throat and exclaims, "I shall go to him!"
Was David right or wrong? If wo part
on earth, will we meet again in tho next
world? "Well," says some one, "that
seems to lx' an impossibility. Heaven is
so large a place we never could find our
kindred there. " Going into some city
without huviug appointed a time und
place for mooting, you might wander
around for weeks and for months, and
perhaps for years, and never sco each
other, and heaven is vaster than all
earthly cities together. Aud how are you
goiug to find your departed friend iu
that country? It is so vast a realm.
John went up on one mountain of in
spiration, aud I10 looked off upon the
multitude, and ho said, "Thousands oi
thousands." Then he came upon a
greater altitude of inspiration and looked
off upon it again, und he said, “Toil
thousand times teu thousand." Aud
then he came ou a higher mount of in
spiration and looked off again und he
said, ‘‘A hundred ond forty and four
thousand nnd thousands of thousands."
And he came ou a Still greuter height
of inspiration, and ho looked off again
and exclaimed, “A great multitude thul
no man can number."
Now, I iiFk, how ore you goiug to find
your friends iu such a throng as that?
Is not this idea we have been entertain
ing after all a falsity? Is this doctrine
of future recognition of friends iu heav
en a guess, a myth, 11 whim, or is if a
granitic foundation upon which the Him!
pierced of all ages may build u glorious
hope? Intense question 1 Every heart in
this audience throbs right into it. There
is in every soul here thotombof at least
one dead. Tremendous question! Ii
makes the lip quiver, and tho cheek
flush, anil the entire nature thrill. Shall
we know each other there? I get letters
almost every month asking mo to dis
cuss this subject I get a letter in a
bold, scholarly hand, on gilt odgod pa
per, asking me to discuss this question,
and I say, “All, that is a curious man,
and he wants a curious qusstiou solved. ’ ’
But I get another letter. It is written
with a trembling hand and ou whut
seems to be a tom out leaf of a book,
and there aud hero is the mark of u tear,
and I say, “Oh, that is a broken heart,
and it wauts to be comforted. ”
From Theory to Certainty.
The object of this sermon is to take
this theory out of the region of surmise
and speculation iuto the region of posi
tive certainty. People say: “It would be
very pleasunt if that doctrine wore true.
I hope it may be true. Perhaps it is true.
I wish it wpre trufe’. ” But I believe that
I can bring/gb^fjQouipnladjijtt of argu
ment to bear upon this matter which
will prove the doctrine of future recog
nition as plainly as that there is aay
heaven at all, aud that the kiss ot re
union at the celestial gate will he ss
certain as the dying kise at the doer of
the sepulcher.
Now, when you ore going to build a
ship you must get the Tfght iind of tim
ber. You lay the keel aud moke the
framework of the veqr best materials
—the keelson, stanchions, plank shear,
counter timqer, knees, transoms—all
iron or solid oak. You map build a ship
of lighter material, hut when tha cy-
olono comes ou it will go down. Bow,
we may have a great many beautiful
theories about the future world huilt
out of onr own fanoy, and they may do
very Vfell as long as we have smooth
sailing in the world. But when tho
storms of sorrow oomo upon us, and the
hurricane of death, we will be swamped,
we will be foundered. We want a the
ory built out of God’s etornal word. The
pie. Moses died und was gathered to his
people. What. |icople? Why, tbeir
friends, their comrades, their old com
panions. Of course it means that, if
oanuot. meiui anything else. Mo in tho
very beginning of the Bible four times
that is taken for granted. The wliolo
New Testament is an arbor over which
this doctrine crueps liko a luxuriant
vino full of the purple clusters of con
solation. James, John und Peter fol
lowed Christ into the mountain. A light
foils from lieuven ou that mouutidu mid
lifts it into tho glories uf the celestial.
Christ’s garments glow, und his face
shines like tho snu. The door of heaven
swings open. Two spirits come down
and alight on that mountuin. 'Hie dis
ciples look at them and recognize them
as Mosos and Elias. Now, if those dis
ciples standing on the earth oonld recog
nise these two spirits who have been for
years iu heaven, da you tell me that
we, with our heavenly eyesight, will
not be able to recognize those who have
gone out from among na ouly 5, 10, 10,
80 years ago?
Heooekitlea.
The Bible indicate*, over and over
again, that the angels know each other,
and than tho Bibla says that we oro to
be higher than Miu angels. And if tlie
angels hare the power of lecofniMom,
shall not we, who are to be higher than
they in the licit realm, have as good
eyesight end ue good capacity? What dill
Christ mean, in Us conversation with
Mury and Martha, when he said, “Thy
brother shall rise again?” It wm M
much as to say: "Don’t oiy. Don’t wear
yourselves out with thie trouble. Yon
will see him ngain. Thy brother shall
rise ngain."
The Bible describes heaven ee a grent
homo circle. Well, now, that would be
n very queer home elrclo where the
members did not know eaeh other. The
Bible describes dentil as a sleep. If we
know each other before wo go to sleep,
slinll wo not know eaeh other after we
wuko up? Oh, y< .<! We will know each
other a grout deni better then than uow,
"for now,” says the apostle, "we see
through a glues dnrkly, but then fare to
face. ” It will be lay purified, enthroued
and glorified body gazing on your puri
fied, enthroned nnd glorified body.
Now, I demand, if you Ixdievo the
Bible, that you take this theory of fu
ture recognition out of the realm oi
speculation and surmiso into the region
of positive certainty, and uo more keep
suyitig: “I hope it is so. I have an ides
it mho.. I guess it is so." Be able t«
say, with all the concentrated energy of
body, mind and soul, "I know it is sol’’
Thero are, in addition to these Bible
arguments, other reasons why I accept
this theory. Iu the first place, because
the rejection of it implies the entire ob
literation of onr memory. Can it be
possible that wo shall forget forever
those with whose walk, look, maimer,
wo have been so long familiar? Will
denth come ami with a sharp, keen blade
hew away this faculty of memory?
Abraham said to Diyes, "Son, remew
her.” If tin exiled and tin lost remem
ber, will not the enthroned remember?
You know very well that our joy iu
any circumstance is augmented hy the
companionship of our friends 'Wo can
not Hi* a picture with less than foul
eyes or hoar a song with less t bail four
cars. Wo want some one beside us with
whom to exchange glances and sympa
thies, and I suppose the joy of heaven is
to be augmented by the fact that we art
to have our friends with us when there
rise before us the thrones of the blessed
and when there surges xu> in our oar tlx
jubilute bf the saved. Heaven is not ■
contraction. It is an expansion. If I
know you here, I will know you bettor
there. Here I see you with ouly two
eyes, but thero the soul shall have
1,000,000 eyes. It will be, immortality
gazing ou immortali y, ransomed spirit
in colloquy with ran. ■ >uied spirit, victor
beside victor. Wheu John Evans, the
Scotch minister, was seated iu his study,
his wifp came in and suid to him, "My
dear, do you think wo will know ouch
other in heaven?" Ho turned to her and
said, "My dear, do you think w« will
be bigger fools in heavon than w* or*
hero?’ ’
The World Kxpects It,
Again, I accept this doctrine of fntnre
recognition becaumi the world’* expect
ancy affirms it, In all lauds and ages
this theory is received. What ’form of
religion planted it? No form of rtligiou,
fqr it is received under all forma *1 re
ligion. Then, I argue, a sentimMrt, a
feeling, an anticipation, univenolly
planted, must have been God implanted,
and if God implanted it is rightfully
implanted. 8 derates writes: “Wh*
would not part with a great deal to
purchase a meeting with Orphans and
Homer? If it be true that this is to be
the consequence of death, I could even
he able to die often. ’ ’
Among the Danes, wheu a master
dies his servant sometimes slays himself
that he may serve the master iu the fu
ture world. Cicero, living bafor*
Christ’s coming, said: "Oh, glorious
day wheu I shall retire tram this low
aiul sordid scene to associate with th*
£ riue assemblage of departed spirit*,
d not only with the one I have juai
mentioned, but with my dear Cato, the
best of sous and most faithful *f mao.
