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..

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.

? 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

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- <

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? Wero a
you pleased when we started for hcav- r
on? Did you celebrate tho hour of our c
conversion? And then, whether they
know it or not, we will tell them all.

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.

"First?Preparo petitions to Congress
and circulate them to have them

"Second? Prepare like petitions to

Paid the Penalty.
Albert August Hcckcr, the German
butcher who, on .January 27th last,
murdered his wifo llachaei and afterwar
!h chopped up and boiled the
remains in order to dispose of them,
was hanged in the Chicago jail ut 12:05
o'clock Friday afternoon. Meeker's
neck was not broken by tho fall, and it
was 16 minutes before ho was pronounced
dead. On the scaffold Meeker
protested his innoccneo and declared
Ucorgo Suttcrlin, tho father of his
second wife, was tho real murderer.
Tho ease of August Meeker in many
ways boro a rcmarkablo similarity to
that of Adolph Lutcgert.
Latlrippe, with its aftereffects, anonally

Dr. Maxey Lee Convicted.
Dr. Maxey Lee, of Darlington
County, was tried last week for the
killing of his father several "vccks ago
and convicted of murder but the tender
hearted jury recommended him to
mercy, which will no doubt save his
neck. The testimony showed that Dr.
Dec, the father, was in the hall talking to
his son, the accused, who had in his
had a hammcrless gun, which was discharged,
tho contents lodging in tho
body of the fathcrU who died from tho
effect of the wound. Tho defence put
in the plea of accidental killing, but
the jury did not bclicvo them.
