There Will Be No Parting There. In this discourse Dr. Talmage lifts the curtain from eternal felicities acd in an unusal way treats of the heaven!) world; t?xt, I Corinthians ii, 9, l,Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath pre^red for fchem that love him." The city of Corinth has been called "the Paris of antiquity." Indeed, for splendor tne woria noias do sucq wonder today. It stood on an isthmu* washed by two s-.as, the one sea bring ing the commerce oi Europe, the other sea bringing the commerce of Asia. From her wharfs, in the construction 1 of which whole kingdoms had been ab sorbed, war galleys with three banks of oars poshed ont and confounded the navy yards of ali the world. Huge handed machinery, such as modern invention cannot equal, lifted ships from the sea on one side and transported them on trucks across the isthmus and set them down in the sea on the other side. The revenue officers of the cily went down through the oiive grove's that lined the beach to collect a tariff from all natioEfl. The mirth of all people sported in her isthmian games, and the beauty of all lands sat in her theaters, walked her porticoes and thre* itself on the altar of her stupendous dissipa tions. Column and statue and temple bewildered the beholder. There were white marble fountains into which from apertures at the aide there rushed waters everwhere known for health giving qualities. Around these basins, twisted into wreaths of stone, there were all the beauties of sculpture and architecture, while standing as if to guard the costly display, was a statue of Hercules , of burnished Corinthian brass. Vases of terra cotta adorned the cemeteries of the dead?vases so costly that Julius Casar was not satified until he had captured them for Rome. Armed officials, rtAwn ?/v wiiO VUIXiiLil?AiiI? paucu uy auu uvnu wu see that no statue was defaced, no pedestal overthrown, no base relief touched. From the edge of the city a hiil arose, with its magnificent burden of columns, towers and temples (1,000 slaves waiting at one shrine), and a citadel so thoroughly impregnable that Gibraltar is a heap of sand compared with it Amid all that strength and magnificence Corinth stood and defied the world. Oh, it was not to rustics, who had never seen anything grand, that Paul uttered tMs text. They had heard the best music that had come frcm the best instruments in all the world; they had heard songs floating from morning " porticoes and melting in evening greves; they had passed their whole lives among pictures and sculpture and architecture ? j r\?: -.1.:? i ttuu v^uriutuittu wiuuu uau uccu molded and shaped until there was no chariot wheel in which it had not sped, and no tower in which it had not glittered, and no gateway that it had not adorned. Ah. it was a bold thing for Paul to stand there amid all that and say: "All this is nothing. These sounds that come from the templ6 of Neptune are not music compared with the harmonies of which I speak. These waters rushing in the basin of Pyrene are not pure. These statues of Baochus and Mercury are not exquisite. Your citadel of Acrocoriathus is not strong compared with that wmcn l oner to the poorest slave that puts down his burden at that brazen gate. You Corinthians think this is a splendid city. You think you have heard all sweet sounds and seen all beautiful sights, but I tell you eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." You see my text sets forth the idea that, however exalted our ideas of heaven, they come f ar short of the reality. Some wise men nav* been calculating how many fariusgs ioug and is the new Jerusalem, and they fca*e calculated how many inhabitant thcro are on the earth, how long the earcii will probably stand, and then they eome to this estimate; That after all the nations have been gathered to heaven there will be room for each soul, a room 16 feet long and 15 feet wide. It would not be large enough for you. It would not be large enough for me. I am glad to know that no human estimate is sufficient to take the dimension. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard." nor ttalonlftted. _ 1 first remark that we can get no idea of the health of heaven. When you were a child, and yon went out in the morning, how you bounded along the road or street?you had never felt sorrow or sickness. Perhaps later you felt a glow in your cheek and a spring in your step and an exuberance of spirits and a clearness of eye that made you thank God you were permitted to live. The nerres were harp strings and the sunlight was a doxology, and the rustling leaves were the rustling of the robe3 of a great crowd risiDg up to praise the Lord. You thought that you knew what it was to be well, but there is no perfect health on earth. The diseases of paot generations came down to us. The airs that now float upon the earth are not like those which floated above paradise. They are charged with im punues ana distempers, ane mos: elastic and robust health of earth, compared *ith tbat which those experience before whom the gates have been opened, ii nothing bat sickness and emaciation. Look at that soal standing before the throne. On eaith she was a lifelong invalid. See her step now and hear her voice now. Catch, if yon can, one breath of that celestial air. Health in all the pulses?health of visicc, health of spirits, immortal health. No racking cough, no sharp pleurisies, no consuming fevers, no exhausting pains, no hospitals of wounded men. Health swinging in the air, health Sowing in all the streams , health vi : i i._ x* i .1 uioommg on uae oanss. i>o neaaacnes, no Bide aches, no back ashes. That child that died in the agonies of croup, hear her voice now ringing in the anthem. That old man that went bowed down with the infirmities of age, 6ee him walk now with the step of an immortal athlete?forever yousg again. That night when the needlewoman fainted away in the garret, a wave of the heavenly air resuscitated her forever. For everlating years 10 have neither ache, nor pain, nor weakness, un i_ i. Zl. nor xasigne. nye dsui not Bee n, ear hath not heard it." _ _ j I remark further that we can in this ' ?' - trorld get no just idea of the splendors lams for the idiotic sod ir of heaven.
