The Illimitable Fastness of Para dise—What the Fattire on High Wilt. Be—Heaven Beantlfled by Death. (Copyright. 189 S, by American Press Asso ciation.] Washington, Oct. 80.—All out. of the usual lino ot sermonizing Is this story of Dr. Talmage concerning the next world, and it may do good to see things from a novel standpoint. The text is Revelation xxi, 1, "And 1 saw a new heaven." The stereotyped heaven does not make adequate impression upon us. We need the old story told in new style in order to arouse onr appreciation. Ido not suppose that we are compelled to the old phrase ology. King James’ translators did not exhaust all the good and graphic words in the English dictionary. I suppose if we should take the idea of heaven and trans late it into modem phrase we would find that its atmosphere is a combination of early Juno and of the Indian summer in October—a place combining the advan tages of city and country, the streets stand ing for the one and the 12 manner of fruits for the other; a place Os musical enter tainments—harpers, pipers, trumpeters, 1 doxologies; a place of wonderful architec ture—behold the temples; a place where there may be the higher forms of animal life—the beasts which were on earth beat en, lash whipped and galled and un blanketed and worked to death, turned out among the white horses which the book of Revelation- describes as being in heaven; a place of stupendous literature— the books open; a place of aristocratic and democratic attractiveness the kings standing for the one, all nations for the other; all botanical, pomological, orni thological, arborescent, worshipful beauty and grandeur. But my idea now is to speak chiefly of the improved heaven. People sometimes talk of heaven as though itr were an old city, flptfined centuries ago, when I have to tell you that no city on earth during the last 60 years has had such changes as heaven. It is not the same place as when I Job and David and Paul wrote of it. For hundreds and hundreds of years it has been going through peaceful revolution, and year by year, and month by month, and hour by hour, and moment by moment it is changing, and changing for some thing better. Away back there was only one residence in the universe—the resi dence of the Almighty. Heaven had not yet been started. Immensity was the park all around about this great residence, but God’s sympathetic heart after a while over flowed in other creations, and there came all through this vast country of immensity inhabited villages, which grew and en-> larged until they joined each other and became one great central metropolis of the universe, st roe ted, gated, templed, water ed, inhabited. Ono angel went forth with < reed, we are told, and he measured heav en on one side, and then he went forth and measured heaven on the other side, I and then .St. John tried to take the census of that city, and he became so bewildered that he gave it up. Improvements In Heaven. That brings me to the first thought of my theme—that heaven is vastly improved in numbers. Noting little under this head about the multitude of adults who have gone into glory during the last 100 or 500 ortl,ooo years, I remember there are 1,600,- 000,000 of people in the world, and that the vast majority of people die in infancy. How many dhildren mnst have gone into heaven during the last 600 or 1,000 years. If New York should gather in one genera tion 1,000,000 population, if London should gather in one generation 4,000,000 population, what a vast increase. But what a mere nothing as compared with the 600,000,000, the 2,000,000,000, the “multitude that no man can number,’’ that have gone into that city. Os course all this takes for granted that every child that dies goes as straight into heaven as ever the light speed from a star, and that is one reason why heaven will always be fresh and beautiful —the great multitude of children in it. Put 500,000,000 chil dren in a country, it will be a blessed And lively country, But r.dd to this, if you will, tho great multitude of adults who have gone into glory, and how the census of heaven must run up. Many years ago a clergyman stood in a New England pulpit and said that he believed that the vast majority of the race would finally be destroyed, and that not more than one person out of 2,000 persons would be finally saved. There happened to be about 2,000 people in the village where he preached. Next Sabbath two persons were heard discussing the subject and wondering which one of the 2,000 people in the village would finally reach heaven, and one thought it would be the minister, and the other thought it would be the old deacon. Now, I have not much admiration for a lifeboat which will go out to a sinking ship with 2,000 passengers and get one off in safety and let 1,999 go to the bottom. Why, heaven must have been a»yillage when Abel, the first soul from earth, entered it as com pared with the present population of that great city I 'Even Heaven Mnst Change. Again, I remark that heaven has vastly improved in knowledge. Give a man 40 or 50 years to study one science or all sci ences, with all the advantages of labora tories and observatories and philosophic apparatus, he will be a marvel of informa tion. Now, into- what intelligence must heaven mount, angelhood and sainthood, not after studying for 40 or 50 yeirs, but for thousands of years—studying God and the soul and immortality and the universal- How the intelligence of that world must sweep on and on, with eyesight farther reaching than telescope, with power of calculation mightier than all human math ematics, with powers of analysis surpass ing all chemical laboratory, with speed swifter than telegraphy! What must heav en learn with all these advantages in a month, tn a year, in a century, in a mil lennium? • The difference between the highest .university on earth And the small est class in a primary school cannot be a greater difference than heaven as it now is and heaven as It once was. Do you not suppose that when Dr. James Simpson went up from the hospitals of Edinburgh into heaven he knew more than ever the science of health, and that Joseph Henry, graduating from the Smithsonian institu tion into heaven, awoke into higher realms of philosophy, and that Sir William Ham ilton, lifted to loftier sphere, understood better the construction of the human in tellect, and that John Milton took up higher poetry In the actual presence of things that on earth lie had tried to de scribe? When the first saints entered heaven, they must have studied only the A B Cos the full literature of wisdom With which they are now acquainted. Again, heaven la vastly Improved In ita tociety. During your memory bow many exquisite spirits In.e gone into it? If you should try to make a list Os all the genial, loving, gracious, blessed souls that you have known, it would be a very long list —souls that have gone into glory. Now, do you not suppose they have enriched tha society? Have they not improved heaven? I You tell of what heaven did for them. Have they done nothing for heaven? Take all the gracious souls that have gone out of your acquaintanceship and add to them all the gracious and beautiful souls that for 500 da 1,000 yean have gone out of all the cities and all tho villages end all th* countries of this earth Into glory, and how tho society of heaven must have been im proved. Supppse Paul the apostle were Introduced into your social circle on earth; but heaven has added all the apostles. Suppose Hannah More and Charlotte Elizabeth were Introduced Intqyour so cial circle on earth; but heaven has added all the blessed and the gracious and tha holy women of the past ages. Suppaee that Robert MoCheyne and John Sum merfield should be added to your earthly circle; but heaven has gathered up all the faithful and earnest ministry of the past. There is not a town, or a city, or a village that has so improved in society in the last 100 years as heaven has improved. A Change of Degree Only. But you say, "Hasn’t heaven always been perfect?” Oh, yes, but not in the sense that it cannot be augmented. It has been rolling on in grandeur. Christ has been there, and he never changes the' same yesterday, today and forever, glori ous then and glorious now and glorious forever. But I speak now of attractions outside of this, and I have to tell you that no place on earth has Improved in society as heaven has within the last 70 years, far the most of you within 40 years, within 20 years, within 5 years, within 1 year— in other words, by the accessions from your own household. If heaven were placed in groups—an apostolic group, a patriarchal group, a prophetic group, group of martyrs, group of angels and then a group of your own glorified kin dred—which group would you choose? You might look around and make oomparison, but it would not take you long to choose. You would say: "Give me back those whom I loved on earth; let me enter into their society—my parents, my children, my brothers, my sisters. We lived to gether on earth; let us live together in heaven." Oh, is it not a blessed thought. tha(b heaven has been Improved by its so ciety, this colonization from earth to heaven? Again? I remark that heaven has great ly improved in the good cheer of announc ed victories. Where heaven rejoiced over one soul it now rejoices over 100 or 1,000. In the olden times, when the events of human life were scattered over four or five centuries of longevity and the world moved slowly, there were not so many stirring events to be reported in heaven, but now, I suppose, all the great events of earth are reported in heaven. If there is any truth plainly taught in this Bible, it is that heaven is wrapped up in sym-. pathy with human history, and we look at those inventions of the day—at teleg raphy, at swift communication by steam, at all these modern improvements which seem to give one almost omnipresence— and we see Only the secular relation, but spirits before the throne look out and see the vast and the eternal relation. While nations rise and fall, while the earth is shaking with revolution, do you not sup pose there is arousing intelligence going up to the throne of God, and that the question is often asked before the throne, "What is the news from that world—that world that rebelled, but is coming back to its allegiance?" If ministering spirits, according to the Bible, are sent forth to minister to those that shall be heirs of heaven, when they oome down to us to bless us, do they not take the news back? Do the ships of light that come out of the celestial barber into the earthly harbor, laden with cargoes of blessing, go back unfreighted? Ministering spirits not only, but our loved ones leaving us, take up the tidings. .Suppose you were in a far city and had been there a good while, and you heard that some one had arrived from your native place—some one who had re cently seen your family and friends—you would rush up to that man, and you would ask all about the old folks at home. And do yotf not suppose when your child went up to God your glorified kindred In heaven gathered around and asked about you to ascertain as to whether you were getting along welt in the struggle of life, to find out whether you were in any especialjjern, that with swift and mighty wing they might come down to intercept your perils? Oh, yes! Heaven is a greater place for news than it used to be—news sounded through the streets, news ringing from the towers, news heralded from the palace gate. Glad news! Victorious news! The Future Heaven. But the vivacity and sprightllness of heaven will be beyond all conception when the final victories oome in, when the church shall be triumphant everywhere. Oh, what a day in heaven it will be when the last throne of earthly oppression has fallen, when the last chain of serfdom is broken, when the last wound of earthly pain is healed, when the last sinner is pardoned, when tho last nation is redeemed! What a time there will be in heaven! You and I will be in the procession, you and I will thrum a string in that great orchestra. That will be the greatest day in heaven since the day when the first block of jas per was put down for the foundation And the first hinged pearl swung. If there is a difference between heaven now and heav- it was, oh, the difference between heaVeh as it shall bo and heaven as it is now 1 Not a splendor stuck fast, but roll ing on and rolling on, and rolling up and rolling up, forever, forever. Now,, I say these things about the changed In heaven, about the new im provements in heaven, for three stout rea sons. /First, because I find that some of you are impatient to be gone. You are tired of this world, and you want to get into that good land about which you have been, thinking, praying and talking so many years. Now, be patient. I could see why you would want to go to an art gal lery if some of the best pictures were to be taken away this week or next week, but if some oxo telle you that there am other beautiful pictures to come—other Ken setts, Raphaels and Rubenses, other mas terpieces to be added to the gallery—you would say: “I can afford to wait. The ' place is improving all the time. ” Now, I want you to apply the same principle in this matter of reaching heaven and leav ing thia world. Not one glory is to be subtracted, but many glories added. Not one angel w jll be gone, not one hierarch gone, not one of your glorified friends gone. By the long practicing the music will be better, tho procession will be lon ger, tho rainbow brighter, the coronation grander. Heaven, with magnificent ad dendh! Why will you complain when you are only waiting lor sen etiiing better? Another reason why I speak in regard CnticT J * to tho changes in heaven and tho now im- I provuumts in heaven D because I think it will baa consolation u> busy and enter* I prising good people. I see very well that I you have not much taste fora heaven that was all done and finished centuries ago. I After you have been active 40 or 50 or 60 I years it would be a shock to stop you sud- I denly and forever, but hero is a progressiva I heaven, an over accumulative heaven, I vast enterprise an foot there before tho I throne of God. Aggrrealve knowledge, I aggreeslvy goodneas, aggreeeive power, ag- I gressivc grand Air. You will not have to oome and ait down on tbe banks of the river of life in everlasting inoccupation. I Oh, busy men, I tell you of a heaven where there is something to do. That is tho meaning of the passage, "They rest not I day nor night," in the lazy sense of rest ing. The Old Fashioned Heave*. I speak these words on the changes in heaven and the now improvements la I heaven also because 1 want to cure some of you of the chLusio i that your departed Christian friends have gone into dullness ahd silence and uncomtciousneM. They are in a sirring, picturesque, radiant, ever accumulative acene. When they left their bodies, they only got ritl of the last hin drance. They are no more in Oakwood, Laurel Hill or Mount Auburn than you, in holiday attire, having seated yourself I at a banquet, can bo said to be in a dark I closet, where you have left the old apparel that was not fit to wear to the banquet. A soldier cannot use a sword until he has unsheathed It, and the body of your de parted was only the sheath of a bright and I glittering spirit which God has lifted and is swaying in the heavenly triumph. Ac cording to what I am telling you at pres ent, your departed Christian friends did not go so much into the company of the ipartjTs, and the apostles, and the proph ets, and the potentates of heaven as into tho company of grandfather and grand mother and the Infant sister that tarried just long enough to absorb your tendereat affection and all the home circle. When I they landed, it was not as you land in I Antwerp or Hamburg or Havre, wander- I tag up a strange wharf, looking at strange faces, asking for a strange hotel. They I landed amid your glorified relatives, who were waiting to greet them. Oh, does not this bring heaven nearer? Instead of being far off it comes down just now, and it puts its arms around our necks, and we feel its breath on our faoes. It melts tho frigid splendor of the conven tional heaven into a domestic scene. It I comes very close to us. If we had our I choice in heaven, whom would we first see? Rather than look at the great poten tates of heaven we would meet our loved ones. I want to see Moses and Paul and Joshua, but I would a great deal rather see my father, who went away 80 years ago. I want to see tbe great Bible hero ines, Deborah aRg Hannah and Abigail, but I would rather see my mother than to see tho archangel. Ido not think it was superstitious when one Wednesday night I stood by a death bed within a few blocks of the church where I preached, and on the same street, and saw one of the aged Christians of tho church going into glory. After I had prayed with her I said to her: “We have all loved you very much and will always cherish your memory in the Christian church. You will see my son before I see him, and I wish you would give him our love." She said, "I will, I will,'* and in 20 minutes she was In heaven—the last words she ever spoke. It was a swift mes sage to the skies. If you had your choice between riding in a heavenly chariot and occupying the grandest palace in heaven and sitting on the throne next highest to the throne of God and not seeing your de parted ones, and on the other hand dwell ing in the humblest place In heaven, with out crown or throne and without garland and without scepter, yet having your loved ones around you, you would choose the latter. I say these things because I want you to know it is a domestic heaven, and consequently It is all the time improving. Every one that goes up makes it a bright er place, and the attractions are increas ing month by month and day by day, and heaven, so vastly more of a heaven, a thousand times more of a heaven, than it used to be, will be a better heaven yet. j Oh, I say this to Intensify your antiolpa- , tlon. At the Final Day. I enter heaven one day. It is almost empty. I enter the temples of worship, and there are no worshipers. I walk down the street, and there are no passengers. I go into the orchestra, and I find' the in struments are suspended in the baronial halls ot heaven, and the great organs of eternity, with multitudinous banks of keys, are closed. But I see a shining one at the gate, as though he were standing on guard, and I say: "Sentinel, what does this mean? I thought heaven was a pop ulous city. Has there been some great plague sweeping off the population?" “Have you not heard the news?" says the sentinel. "There is a world burning, there is a great conflagration opt yonder, and all heaven has gone out to ldgk at the conflagration and take the victims out of the ruins. This is the day for which all other days are made. TMa is the judg ment. This morning all tn& chariota and the cavalry and the mounted infantry rum bled and galloped down the sky. ** After I had listened to the Sentinel I looked off over tho battlements, and I saw-that the fields of air were bright with a blazing world. I said, “Ye?, yes, this must be the judgment," and while I stood there I heard the rumbling ot wheels and tbe clattering of hoofs and the roaring of many voices, and then I saw the coronets and plumes and banners, and I saw that all heaven was coming back again—com ing to the wall, coming to the gate, and the multitude that went off in the morn ing was augmented by a vast multitude up alive from the earth, and a vast multitude of the resurrected bodies of the Christian dead, leaving the cemeteries and the Sbbeys and the mausoleums and the graveyards of the earth empty. Proces sion moving in through the gates. And then I found out that what was fiery judg ment day on eaijth was jubilee in heaven, and I cried: “ Doorkeepers of heaven, shut the gates; all heaven baa come ini Door keepers, shut the 12 gates lest tho sorrows and the woes of earth, like bandits, should some day oome up and try to plunder tbe city?” ________ Ashe, «» Steaaashlya.
