Heaven. We know but very little about heaven. It is easy to dogmatize and speculate about our future home. We are very much concerned to know what kind of a place it will be, and just what we shall do when we get there. It is much more important that we should spend our time in preparing to enter heaven than in trjang\to- picture it-4o ourselves .or to others. The Scriptures have but little to ,say ajo^t heaven. \ jThev; wisely" Jeave us in ignorance of many things which we would like to know, but which would add nothing to our happiness or useful ness. It is impossible for us, in our present mode of existence, to understand what will be the nature of our future life. The Scriptures invariably repre* sent heaven nnder figurative language. Our danger is that we may literalize ! what was never intended to be so inter? preted. No one would ever imagine that the heaven of John the revelator is a literal heaven. We shall not find golden-paved streets, nor jasper walls, nor gates of pearl in heaven. We are accustomed to associate these things with great splendor and great happiness. The writer sought to awaken, in our minds some feeble apprehension of the glory and the splendor of our final home. He could find no fitter illustration of the: . purity, beauty and glory of heaven than in these costly and precious jewels. Suppose for a moment that he should have attempted to portray the real beauty and bliss of our future home, where would he have found language suited to our comprehension ? He could not have used .the language of angels, for we would not understand it. What we de-' j mand of revelation is facts couched in speech which we can comprehend. We might have literal descriptions of heaven, I and bejrhollj.unable.toappreciate them.: It is not God'a inability to picture heav? en, but our inability to appreciate the Jicture, that makes revelation difficult, t is easy for us to find fault with1 our Bible because it does not give us full and complete accounts of many things that are left vague and indefinite. It would be much more sensible if we should find fault with ourselves because we are so stupid and ignorant. . If we want to> find out what heaven1 wi'l be, we must turn our thoughts to what we shall be. It is easy enough for us to conjee- j ture that we shall pass suddenly out of a life half , consecrated, half purified, half sanctified, into a life of perfect bliss and felicity, ??? Very few Christians read their Bible with their sins before , them. They put them all behind them, and imagine that all the promises of God are unc?ndition- j al. If there is any- truth taught in the j Bible, it is that our happiness will de? pend upon the degree of our fidelity and : consecration in this " life. ' Otherwise every soul that enters heaven would be perfectly, blessed. Many people will no :;. doubt be astonished in heaven, to find that their poor, half-hearted, broken and battered lives in this world have dis? qualified them for the degree of happi? ness they anticipated. It is only the untutored, unreflecting, immature mind that expects the future life to be without its development and growth. We sus? pect-that the la wsof growth and espao si on are the. same in all worlds. We shall no doubt find that each day or period of our: existence will afford op? portunities that may be neglected or im? proved, just as here. Eedemption from sin is not freedom from law and respon? sibility, j ?j Wechold very firmly: that our heaven will be just wtiaf "we~ are prepared to j enjoy. Our preparation is just what we ourselves make. We can not live poor, broken, feeble and aimless lives here, and enter heaven in all r the fullness of bliss and joy. We sball no doubt take up the song in heaven that we had learned to sing on earth. If we have been dwelling in the fog-land, drooping and moping about on earth, we need not expect at once to stand on the golden bights of heaven. . Let us live right each day.. Let us make the last day oh earth a fit intro? duction to our first in heaven. Life is grand only as we make it so. We delude ourselves by supposing that-we can live weak and: heartless lives here, and enter heaven ready, for its supremest joys, .We should learn to make each day a real, joy, a real preparation for our next day, and to find in it a foretaste of J heaven.?Cumberland fretbyterian. BeUgious Growth. One of the subjects that occupied the attention of the Plenary Council in Bal? timore is the growth of the various re? ligious denominations in the United States. Expert statisticians were em? ployed to compile figures. Their table, which shows both the absolute and rela? tive growth, is interesting. By the ? cen? sus of 1860 the population of the United States was 31,445,080. The present pop? ulation is now estimated at 55,000,000. The gain in 25 years is, therefore, 23, 500,000, or at the rate of 75 per cent. In 1860 there were 8,600,000 Methodists in this country. Since 1860 the total has grown to 15,000,000, which is an increase of 75 per cent., keeping pace exactly with the increase in population. The number of affiliants of the various Bap? tist churches in 1860 was 8,000,000. To? day it-is 12,000,000. The increase in 25 years is, therefore, 50 per cent., a gain in absolute ratio, but a falling off when considered relatively. The Presbyterians in 1860 numbered 3,600,000. Now tffey number 5,500,000, an increase in twenty five yean of 90 per cent. The Luther? ans, who have been materially benefited by constant and increasing emigration from Germany, Sweden, Holland and j Norway, have grown from 1,250,000 in 1 1860 to 2,000,000 in 1884, or at the rate of 60 per cent.' The Congregationalists have declined relatively very much. In twenty-five years they have advanced but 27 per cent., that is, from 1,413,000 in 1880 to 1,800,000 at present Oh the other hand the other various Reformed churches?Dutch, German and Evangel? ical?show an increase of nearly 50 per cent., from 810,005 in 1860 to 1,200,000 to-day. The Episcopalians show a fair increase- in numbers, yet one relatively [ below the average. Their percentage of gain is 33} per cent, in twenty-five years, bringing up the total from 900,000 to 1, 200,000. The Hebrews have increased from 350,000 in 1860 to 700,000 in 1884, a full 100 per cent, of gain. The Friends, or-Quakers, show an absolute as well as relative decline. They have fallen 60 per cent?from 220,000 in 1860 to 150,- j 000 in 1884. /The denomination of Christians, who are numerous in Ken tucky^'Southerd Indiana, Southern Uli* nois and Missouri, number 800,000, against 500,000 in 1860, an absolute gain of 60 per cent, yet a falling off relative? ly of 15. Bot the most surprising feature of the calculations just completed is the growth of the Catholics. In 1860 they numbered in the United States 3,175,000. Now there are 9,500,000. This is a gain of 200. per cent in twenty-five.years. Should the. same ratio of increase con? tinue to be preserved, they would num? ber fifteen years hence 25,000,000.?Ro? chester Democrat ami Chronicle. ?

He Had Flans. A wholesale.house in Detroit in which the firm consists of four partners, with a solid old gentleman at the head, took on a new traveler a few days ago. He was engaged and packed off without having seeo the senior partner and he probably didn't care a cent whether snch a person existed are not: He was coming in over one of the roads on a recent Saturday, and bad taken ? seat in tne smoker to enjoy a fifteen-center, when a fellow traveler asked bim bow business was, and what firm he represented. "Business is infernal dull, and I repre? sent the house of Blank & Co., Detroit," was the answer. "Pretty solid house?" "Oh, yes; bat rather cranky." "Going to be with it next year?" "Well, that will depend. When I get in I'm going to ask for a position' in the store. I'm fitted for almost any . place there, and I'm going to push myself." "And then you'll work for promo? tion !M >"! ? "You bet! and if things come around right I'll have an interest in the old ranch inside of two years." "EhI How's that?" " Well, the old crank who furnishes the doubloons to keep the business booming has got two marriageable daughters, and I'm going to be his son-in-law or break both legs trying. I've got the pluck to succeed, and you can bet a new hat on me any day in the year." - N The conversation died away very soon after that, and in a little time the traveler was left to the comforts of his cigar. He thought no more' of the matter until he walked into the store Monday, morning to report. The first man his eyes rested upon was his fellow traveler on the train, and the old gent bad his hat off, and seemed very mach at home. He bowed to the drummer, and he smiled, and be went to the door and called after him in a forgiving tone, but the man escaped, and has not been seen in Detroit since.? Detroit Drei Press. ?

LIGON, Judge of Probate, Dec 11, 1884 22 4 j A large proportion of the diseases which cause human suffering result from derange ment of the stomach, bowels, and lirer. AVer's Catttaktic pills act directly upon these organs, and are especially designed to euro the diseases caused by their dorange ment, including Constipation, Indiges? tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other aliments, for all of which they aro a safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these Pills by eminent physicians in regular prac? tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profes? sion. These Pills are compounded of vegetablo substances only, and are absolutely free from caiomulor any other injurious ingredient. A Sufferer from Headache writes: "Ayeb's Pills are invaluable to me, and are my constant companion. I have been a severe sntferer front Headache, and your Pills are the only .thing I could look to for relief. One dose will quickly move my bowels and free my head from pain.

Aft?r tak? ing two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the time I bad used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet a;ain. I am now in excellent health. I am confide at that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinioa. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in myopia* ion. Dr. H. promised me that he would writ? t* the manfacarers ami tell them of this wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Kearnfosl Early in November, 1881, while sewing on t h j machine, my wife was taken with a severe pcin ia her side, wblcb was soon followed by heuorrhagfl from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks s':e was reduced to a living skeleton. The atteudiug physician told me that ne thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her stom? ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, t< tall Dr. Holloway in consultation. They i"ade a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last icsort. I seLt for a bottle ana gave her a dose. I found that sic could retain it on her stomach, and after about the third dose. I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the medicine regdarly, and by the time t he had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the bouse. She is now ir better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer saved her lift. We have a family of six children, some of then grown." Mr. Heerndon's Postoffice is Yatcsville, Upson County, Ga.
