seven aud they are tlie seven Heals. Kt.

horse, and t! :.t meant prosperity and ;

virtuous emperors succeeded each oth- 1
or Nerva. Trajan and Antoninus.
Christ in the vision broke the second
seal and unrolled again, and there was
a picture of a red horse, and that
meant bloodshed, mid so it really came
to pass, and the next bo years were red
with assassinations and w: rs. Then
, Christ broke the third seal and unroll- ;
ed it. and there was a picture of a
, black horse, which In all literature j
I means famine, oppression and taxa
tion; and so it really came to pass, j
Christ went < n urilil lie broke all tin* !
J seven seals and opened all the scroll, j
I Well, the future of all of us is a sealed
I scroll, and I am glad that no one but
i Christ can open it. Do not let us join
1 that class of Christians in our day, |
i who are trying to break the seven seals
i of the future. They are trying to peep
into things they have no business with.
Do not go to some necromancer or *
* spiritualist or soothsayer or fortune
teller to find out what is going to hap
1 n to yours-if or your family or your
friends. Wait till Christ breaks the
i seal to find out whether in your own
per-imal life or the life of the tuition
|
| or tlie life of the world it is going to be
the white horse of prosperity or the red
j horse of war or the black horse of lam
j ine. Y'ou will soon enough see him paw
j ami hear him neigh. Take care of the
• present, and the future will take care
I of itself. If a man live 70 years, his
i biography is in a scroll having at least
seven seals, and let him not during the
first ten years of Ids life try to look In
to the twenties, nor the twenties Into
the thirties, nor the thirties Into the
forties, nor the forties Into the fifties,
nor tiie* fifties into the sixties, nor the*
sixties into tiie* seventies. From the*
way the years have got the habit of
racing along. 1 guess you will not have
to wait a great while* before all the
seals of the future are broken. I would
not give* 2 cents to know how long I
an; going to live,or in what day of what
year the world is going to be* demolish
ed. 1 would rather give £1.000 not to
know. Suppose some one could breal
tlx* next seal in tlx* scroll of your per
sonal history and should tell you that
on the next -Hh of July. BlOl. you were
to die, the summer after next, how
much would >011 be* good far between
this and that? It would from now until
then Ik* a prolonged funeral. You would
he counting tiie* months and the* days,
and your family and friends would he
counting them, and next 4th of July
you would rub your hands together
and whine: "Out* year from today I am
to go. Dear me! I wish no one* had
told me so long before*. I wish that ne
cromancer had not broken thcseal of the
future.” And meeting some under
taker, you would say; "1 hope you will
keep yourself fax* for an engagement
the 4th of July. I'JOB That day you
will be needed at my house. To save
time, you might as well take my tneas
ure* now. f* feet 11 Inches." 1 am glad
that Christ droppesl a thick veil over
th,* hour of our demise and of the hour
of the world's destruction when he
said. “Of that day and hour Lnowcth
no man; 110. not the angels, but my
Father only.” Keel) your bauds off
tlx* seven seals.
There is another mighty seven of the
Bible—viz. the seven thunders. What
those thunders meant we are not told,
mid there has been much guessing
about them; hut they are to come, we
are told, before the end of all things,
ami the world cannot get along with
out them. Thunder is the speech of
lightning. There are evils in our world
which must he thundered down and
which will rei|tilre at least seven vol
leys to prostrate them. We are all do
ing idee, delicate, soft handed work
in churches and reformatory institu
tions against the evils of the world,

until the monopoly is defiant of all
earth and heaven. ’ ii* w shall the evil

maxim: “Honesty Is the best policyV"
Or by soft repetition of the golden rule
tint we must “do to others ns we
1 would have linn do to us7” No; It
will not be done that way. What Is

The Seventh Chrysolite.
Oh, men and women, disheartened at
the bad way things often go. hear you
not a rumbling down the sky of licavy s
artillery, coining iu on our side, the
seven thunders ot the Almighty? Do
not let us try to w ield them ourselves;
they are too heavy and too fiery for us
to handle; but Go J can, and God will;
and wheu all mercy lias failed and all
milder means are exhausted, then
judgment will begin. Thundcrboh :
Depend upon it that what is not done
under the Hash of the seven candl-
sticks will he done by the trampling
of the seven thunders. But 1 leave
tills imperial and mulllpolcnt m aie ..1
seven, where the Bible leaves it, i:
bedded in the finest wall that wiMever
built or will lie constructed, the v; !
of heaven. It is the seven strata < r
precious stones that make up that wall.
After naming six of the precx ;:s
stones In that wall the Bible ori.s o :t.
“the seventh chrysolite!" The chryso
lite is an exquisite green, and in that
seventh layer of the heavenly wall
shall bo preserved forever the domi
nant color of the earth we once inhab
ited. 1 have sometimes been saddened
at the thought that this world, accord
ing to science and revelation, Is to be
blotted out of existence, for it is such
a beautiful world. But here Is this
layer of the heavenly wall, where the
numeral seven is to be embedded, this
stinta of green Is to be photographed
and embalmed and perpetuated, the
color of the grass that covers thecart’i,
the color of the foliage that tills tlx?
forest, the color of tiie deep sea. One
glance at that green chrysolite a mil
lion years after this planet has been
extinguished will bring to mind j:: 1
how it looked in summer and spring
and we will say to those who were
born blind on earth and never saw at
all in this world, after they have ob
tained full eyesight iu heaven. "If you
would know how the earth appeared
iu June and August, look at that sev
enth layer of the heavenly wall, the
green of the chrysolite.”
And while we stand tliere a ml talk,
spirit witli spirit, that old color of the
earth which had more sway than all
the other colors put together, will bring
hack to us our earthly experiences, and
noticing that this green chrysolite is
the seventh layer of crystallized mag
nificence, we may bethink ourselves of
(lie domination of that numeral seven
over nil other numerals, and thank
God that U) the dnik earth we left V*
hind us we so long enjoyed the light of
the seven golden candlesticks and were
all of us permitted to shine among the
