& T ; s ^HEAVENLY IIOMEr Dr. Talmage on the Glories of the Father's Home. THERE ARE MANY ROOMS. And There Is a Place For All of God's Children. The Family Room and Its Blessed Association. In a unique way the heavenly world in discoursed upon by Dr. Talmage in this sermon under the figure of a home; text, John xiv, 2, "In uiy Father's house are many rooms." Here is a hottlc of medicine that is a euro all. The disciples were sad, and Christ offered heaven as an alterative, a stimulant and a tonic. He shows them that their sorrows are only a daik background of a bright picture of coming felicity. Ho lets them know that, though now they live on the lowlands, thoy shall yet have a house on the uplands. Nearly all tho Bible descriptions of heaven may be figurative. 1 am not positive tbat in -til heaven there is a literal nrovr.i or harp or pcaily gate o throne or chariot. They may he only used to illustrate 'ho glories of the place, but how well the- do it! The favorite symbol by which the Ibble presents celestial happiness s a houso. Paul, who never o vued a houso, although he hired cn> for two years in Italy, speaks of heaven as a "home not mado with hands," ami Christ in inr text, the translation of which is a little changed, so as to give the more accurate meaning, says, "In my Father's house art many rooms." This'divinely authorized comparison of heaven to a great homestead of large accommodations I propose to carry out. la some healthy neighborhood a man builds a very commodious habitation. He must have room for all his children. Tho rooms como to bo called after the different members of tho family. That is mother's room, that is Ocorgc s room, that is Henry's room, that is Floras room, that is Mary's room, and the house is all occupied. But time goes by, and the sons go out into tho world and build their own homes, ami the daughters arc married or havo talents enough singly to go out and do a good work in tho world. After awhile tho father and mother are almost alone in the big house, and, seated by the even ing stand, they say, "Well, our family i 1? --- > 1a iiu 1?1?UI IIUVV mail WUOII WO StUriCU together 40 years ago.' Hut time goes still farther by, and some of the children aro unfortunate and return to the old homcstoad to live, and the grandchildren couio with them and perhaps greatgrandchildren, and again the house is full. Millennia ago God built on the hills of heaven a great homestead for a family innumorablo, yet to be. At lirst ho lived alone in that great house, hut alter awhile it was occupied by a very largo family, cherubic, seraphic,angelic. The eternities passed on, and many of the inhabitants becamo wayward and left, never to return, and many of the apartments were vacated. 1 refer to tho fallen angels. Now taesc apartments are filling up again. '1 here are arrivals at the old homestead of God's children every day, and the day will come when there will be no unoccupied room in all the house. As you and 1 expect to enter it and mako there ctcrfial residence, 1 thought you would liko to get some more particulars about the many roomed homestead. "In my Father's house are many rooms." You see, the place is to he apportioned off into apartments. We shall love all who are in heaven, but there are some very good people whom ,r>.nl.1 ?i. :.. o.. nv n UUlU IIWI miuv VU il>U Ullll 111 UIU same room. They may bo better than we arc, but they arc of a divergent temperament. We would like to meet with them on the gelden streets and worship with them in tho temple and walk with them on the river banks, but I am glad to ?.iy that jve shall live in difforcnt aj urtments. Father's house are many TOO\?'ftffo /VCV *co, heaven will be so lar an entire room to hif? i ?''Jit 1 an bo afforded. ( An ingenious sta/' !llr''"1 . ng the statement made in W/.e ./twentyfirst chapter, that iVfic ...-only .Jerusalem was measured a* jund to he 12,- , 000 furlongs and that the length and and height and breadth of it are equal, says that would make heaven in size 948 8cxtilli<-n 988 quintillion cubic feet, and then reserving a certain portion for tho court of heaven and the streets and estimating that the world may last a hundred thousand years, he ciphers out that there arc over 5,000,000,000,000 rooms, each room 17 feet long, 16 feet wide, 15 feet high. But 1 have no faith in the accuracy 'of that calculation, lie makes the rooms too small. From all I can read, the rooms will be palatial, and those who liaVA liu/1 a r* rvn <? V. nAr???. i ? ' J I ?4<??v uv/v unu vuuufti. IUWIII ill una WUI1U will have plenty of room at the last. The fact is that most people in this world are crowded, and, though out on a vast prairie or in a mountain district people may have more room than they want, in most cases it is house built close to house, and the streets arc crowded, and the cradle is crowded by othor cradles, and the graves crowded in the cemetery by o.her graves, and one of the richest luxuries of many people in getting out of this world will bo the gaining of unhindered and uncramped room. And I should not wonder if, instead of the room that tho statistician ciphered out as only 17 foot by 16, it should be larger than any of the roome at Berlin, St. .James01 Win ter palaco. "In my Fathtr'u house arc many rooms." Carrying out still further the symbolism of the text, let us join hands and ?o up to this majestic homstead and sec or oursolves. As we asoond the golden steps an invisible guardsman swings open the front door, and we are ushered to the right into the reception room of the old homestead* That is the place where we first meet the welcome of heaven. There must be a place whero the departed spirit enters and a placo in which it confronts tho inhabitants celestial. The reception room of the newly arrived from this world?what soenee it must have witnessed since the first guest arrived, the viotim of the first fratricide, pious Abel! In that t /fMiP ?1 room Christ lovingly greots all new- | comers. He icdcemcd them, and he has the right to the first embrace on arrival. What a minute when the astended spirit first sees the Lord! Hcttor than all wocvor read about him or talked about him or sang about him in all tho churches and through all our caithly lifetime will it be, just for one sooond, to sec him. The most rapturous idea wo ever had of him on sacramental days or at the height of some great revival or under tho uplifted baton of an oratorio is a bankruptcy of thought compared with tho first flash of iiis appearance hi that reception room. At that moment when you confront each other. Christ loooking upon you and you looking upon Christ, tliero will bean ecstatic thrill and surging of emotion that beggar all description. Cook! They need no introduction. Cong ago Christ chose that repentant sinner, and that repentant sinner chose Christ. Mightiest moment of an immortal history?the first kissof heaven! .Jesus and the soul! The soul and .Jesus. Cut now into that reception room pour the glorified kinsfolks, enough of earthly retention to let you know them, but without their wounds or their sickness or their troubles?see what heaven lias done for them?so radiant, so gleeful, so transportingly lovely! They call you by name. They greet you with an ardor proportioned to the anguish of your parting and the length of your scperation. Father! Mother! There is your child. Sisters! Brothers! Friends! I wish you joy. For years apart, together again in the reocption room of tho old homestead. You see, they will know you are com ing. There are ho many immortals filling all the spaocs bctwoon here and heaven that news like that flies like lightning. They will he there in an instant. Though they were in some other world on errand from God, a signal would be thrown that would feloh them. Though you might at rirst feel dazed and overawed at their supernal splendor, all that feeling will be gone at their fi-st touch of heavenly salutation, and we will say: "Oh, my lost boy!" "Oh, my lost companion!" "Oh my lost friend! Arc we here together?" What scenes in that reception room of the old homestead have been witnessed! There met Joseph and tlaoob, finding it a brighter room than anything they saw in Pharaoh's palaeo; David and the little child for whom he once fasted and wept; Mary and Lazarus after the heartbreak of Bethany; Timothy and grandmo''" > Lois; Isabella Graham and her an son; Alfred and Gcorgo Cookman, i no mystery of the sea at last made in s .i fest; Luther and Magdaicnc, ?ho the daughter he bemoaned: .1 hit Howard and the prisoners whom lie gospclized. and multitudes with nit number who, once so weary and so sad, parted on earth, but gloriously met in heaven. Among all the rooms of that house there is no one that more enraptures my soul than that reception room. "In my Father's house arc many rooms." Another room in nor Father h ho me is the throncroom. We belong to the royal family. The blood of King Jesus Hows in our veins, so wc have a right to enter the throncroom. It is no easy thing on earth to get through even the outside door of a king's residence. During the Franco-Gorman war, one eventido in tho summer of 1870, 1 stood studying the exquisite sculpturing of tho gate of the Tuilcrics, Paris. Post in admiration of the wonderful art of that gate, I knew not that 1 wis exciting suspicion. Powering my eyes to the crowds of people, I found myself being closely inspected by the gov eminent oflioials, who, from my complexion, judged me to be aGcrman and that for some belligcrant purpose 1 might be examining the gates of 'the palace. My explanation in very poor French did not satisfy them and they followed me long distances until 1 reached my hotel and were not satisfied until from my landlord tlioy found that 1 was only an inoffensive American. The gates of earthly places are carefully guarded, and, if so, how much more the throncroom! A dazzling palace is it for mirrors and all costly art. No one who ever saw the throncroom of the first and only Napoleon will ever forgot the letter N embroidered in purple and gold on tho upholstery of chair and window, the letter N gilded on tho wall, tho letter N chased on the chalices, tho letter N flaming from the ceiling. 17 |_ _ A ,% . *? ? nai a conflagration 01 oriuiance tlic tltroncroom of Charles lninianucl of Sardinia, of Ferdinand of Spain, of Fdizabcth of Fmgland, of Hodifacc of Italy! Hut the throncroom of our Father's house hath a glory eclipsing all the ihronorooms that ever saw scepter wave or crown glitter or foreign embassador bow, for our Father's throne iH a throno of grace, a throne of mercy, a throno of holiness, a throncof justice, a throne of universal dominion. We need not stand shivering and cowering before it, for our Father says we may yet ono day como up and sit on it beside him. "To him that ovcrcomoth will 1 grant to sit with mo in my throne.'' You see we are prineoR and princesses. Perhaps now wo move about incognito, as Peter the (Jreal in the garb of a ship carpenter at Amstcr Jam or as Queen Tirzah in the dress of a peasant woman seeking the prophet for her child s cure; but it will bo found out after awhile who we arc when wo got into the throncroom. Ayo, wo need not wait until then. Wo may by prayer and song and spiritual uplifting this moment enter the throncroom. O King, live forever! Wo touch the scepter and prostrate ourselves at thy feet. The crown of the royal family of this world aic tossed about from generation to generation, and from family to family. There are men comparatively young in Hcrlin who have scon tho crown on three emperors. Hut whorcever the cornets of this world riso or fall they arc destined to meet in ono rilam . And I lnnlt and onn ?Vm?? nnm iag from north and south and cast and west, tho Spanish crown, the Italian crown, tho English crown, the Turkish crown, tho Russian crown, tho Persian crown?aye, all the crowns from under the great, archivolt of heaven?and while I watch and wonder they aro all flung in rain of diamonds around the pierced feet. Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Poos his suoceBsivc journeys run, His kingdom stretch from shore to sh r Till sun shall rise and set no more. i s ? - & rtiH ( ' 1 jiftrX ? Oh. that throncroom of Christ! "In my Father a houso are many rooms." Another room in our Father's houso is tho music room. St. John and othor Bible writers talk so muoh about tho music of heaven that there must be music there, perhaps not such as on earth was thummcd from trembling string or evoked hy touch of ivory key, but if not that, then something better. Thcro aro so many Christian harpists and composers and Christian organists and Christian choristers and Christian hymnologists that have gone up from earth, thoro must be tor them some place of especial delectation. Shall wo havo music in this world of discords and no music ill thn lnnil of nnm ul<>(.? I.? r ...r... . V ?v~|..v.u .la.uiuu; . I cannot give you the notes of tho lirst bar of the new song that is sung in heaven. I cannot iinagino either tho solo or tho doxology. Hut heaven means music, and can mean nothing else. Occasionally that music has escaped the gate. Dr. Fullor, dying at Hcaufort, S. (J., said, "Do you not hear? "Hear what?" exclaimed tho bystanders. "Tho music! Lift me up! Open tho windows!" In that music room of our Father's houso you will Home day meet tho old masters. Mozart and Handel ami Mendelsohn and Hecthovcn and Doddridgo, whose sacred poetry was as remarkaido as his sacred prose, and .James Montgomery, and William (Jowpor, at last got rid of his spiritual melancholy, and Misliop Hebcr, who sang of "Greenland's icy mountains and India's coral strand," and Dr. Rallies, who wroto of 1 ? i . ? . igii 111 yuuuur rcaiuis 01 ngni, and Isaac Walts, who went to visit Thomas Abney and wife for a week, but proved himself so agrecablo a guest that they made him stay 3B years, and sido by side Augustus Toplady, who has got over his dislike for Methodists, and Charles Wesley, freed from his disliko for Calvinists, and George W. Dcthuno, as sweet a songster as ho was great as a preacher and the author of "The Village Hymns," and many who wrote in verse or song, in church or by eventide cradlo and many who woro passionately fond of music, but could inako none themselves, the poorest singer there more than any earthly prima donna and the poorest players there more than any earthly Gottsohalk. Oh, that music room, the headquarters of cadence and rhythm, symphony and chant, psalm and antiphon' May wo he there some hour when Haydn sits at the keys of one of his own oratorios, and David tho psalmist lingers the ' up, and Miriam of tho lied Sea bat-ks iups the cymbals, and Gabriel puts his lips to the trumpet and the four and twenty elders chant, nnd Hind and Darcpa render matchless duct in tho music room of the old heavenly home- ( stead! "In my Father's houso arc many rooms." I Another room in our Father's houso will he the family room. It may cor- j respond somewhat with the family \ room on earth. At morning and oven- ] ing, you know, that is the place wo j now meet. Though every member of i the household have a separate room, | in tho family loom they all gather, and jojs and sorrows and experi- j enccs ol all styles are there re- i hearsed. Sacred room in all our dwell- < i i ; > mftn, ? IIUIiiur IL DC luxurious Willi 01- 1 to minis ami divans and books in Russian lids standing in mahogany case or there t he only a lew plain chairs and a cradle. ^ 80 the family room on high will he the c place where the kinsfolk assemble and talk over the family experiences of t earth, the weddings, the births, the burials, the festal days of Christmas jj and Thanksgiving reunion. Will the a children departed remain children c there? Oh, no! Everything is porfoot \ there. The child will go ahead to glorilield maturity, and tho aged will go y hack to glorified maturity. The rising 8 sun of the one will rise to meridian, t and the descending sun of the other will return to meridian. However 0 much we love our children on earth, a we would consider it a domestic dis- i aster if they staid children, and so we c rejoice at their growth here. And H when we meet in the family room of our Father's house wo w ill ho glad that t they have grandly and gloriously ma- t tured, while our parents, who were t aged and infirm here, we shall ho glad 8 to find restored to the most agile and vigorous immortality there. If 40 or ^ l."> or f>0 years he the apex of physical t and mental life on earth, then the 0 heavenly childhood will advanco to r that, and the h^^only old ago will ro- \ treat to that. Vrhen we join them in a that family room, we shall have much to tell them. Wo shall want to know c of them, right away, such things as a these: Hid you seo us in this or that 1 or the other struggle? Did you know when we lost our property and sympa- i thizc with us? Did you know we had t that awful sickness? Were you hover- ? ing anywhere around us when we plunged into that memorable accident? t Did you know of our backsliding? Did c you know of that moral victory?

GRANGERS TO FIGHT TRUST. Five Millions of Fanners Massing Their Forces. Aaron .Jones, of Indiana, master of the National Grango, voices the sentiment of live million American farmers in this wise: "1 am receiving thousands of lottcrs from all parts of tho United States, from farmers, mechanics, traveling men, merchants, manufacturers not in trust, asking how they can co-operate with the Grange in securing cffcctivo state and national legislation that will prevent tho formation and successful operation of trusts. "Tho entire people viow with alarm tho aggressive and questionable methods of trust and combinations to arbitrarily control to thoir own advantago the labor and tlin nrndawt loK.-... 1.. ?il departments of productive industry. "Tho policy pursued by trusts in limiting production in certain lines, in shutting down factories under (heir control, and in crushing out those engaged in tho same lines who do not join with them in their policy of controlling prices, is destructive to industry. To permit men to use capital to crush out legitimate competition is against public policy and destroys the independence and libortyof the individual, and deprives him of the free uso and bcnclit of his capital, stifles enterprise and progress, and, if continued, will subvert all tho principles fought for aiul gained by our forefathers. "Tho present industrial tendency is a menace to the stability of the nation. Americans will not submit to pay enormous taxes to support state and national governments that arc impotent to protect the rights of labor and ol property, and its proper and legitimate uso. "Tho individual citizen is unablo to distinguish tho difference in effect between being deprived of his property by marauding bands of brigands, known in ancient times and in the middle ages as robbers, and the consolidations and uniting of corporations under forms known as trusts, and used for the same purpose, namely, of transferring by controlling prices, tho property of those not in the trust to themselves. "Tho methods pursued by trusts in lttompting to influence legislation and :hc decision of courts should meot con ] i!.- * 1 1 ic 111 iiitliuu iroin every noncst, honoriblo and loyal citizen of tho republic. "How ean wo secure effective legislaion, State and national, that will present the formation and successful opnation of trusts? "Here is tho advice wc arc giving o those organizing against trusts: "First?Preparo petitions to Congress and circulate them to have them ligocd by all the people who favor frcolom and the rights of property, and forvard these petitions. "Second? Prepare like petitions to our several legislatures and your rcpcctivo states and demand strong antirust legislation. "Third?Attend your political cauuscs in whatevtr party you aitiliate ,nd demand a strong anti-trust plank n your platform, and see to it that very ofliccr nominated shall he in full ympaihy with this plank. "Fourth?Thiuk more of your counry and the rights of labor and property ban of your party, and give all parties o understand that all patriots will tand together on this issuo.

Aauon Jones, "Master of tho National Orange." Tho introduction of round balo )rcsscs means tho establishment not >nly of a eotton trust, but a scod trust, iu oil trust, a ginning trust, and the innihilation of every small ginnor in he cotton belt. To allow a round balo press in your ection means tho revolutionizing of rour businoss, tho risk of putting yourelf wholly in tho hands of a gigantic rust, tho positive loss that you will ustain, and the almost certainty of ho trust treating you just as scores of ;inncrs havo been treated after they ?ad been imposed upon by tho trust igonts Flying Towards the Eartli.
