TALMAGE DISCOURSES ON THE HEAVENLY WORLD. (Soil's Homestead. Biillrietl on (lie lliiln ot lieaxen, 1'i-oviili-s Hooms toe A11—V i v Id Picture of (lie Heav enly Home. [Copyright, Fouls Klopsch, ISiW.] Washington, Nov. 5.—In a unique way (he heavenly world is discoursed upon by Dr. Talma go in this sermon under the figure of a home; (ext, John xiv, 2, “In my Father's house are many rooms.” Here Is a bottle of medicine that is a cure all. The disciples were sad, and Christ offered heaven as an alterative, a stimulant and a tonic, lie shows them that their sorrows are only a dark background of a bright picture of coming felicity. He lets them know that, though now they live on the low lands, they shall yet have a house on the uplands. Nearly all the Bible de scriptions of heaven may be figurative. I am not positive that in all heaven there is a literal crown or harp or pearly gate or throne or chariot. They may be only used to illustrate the glories of the place, but how well they do it! The favorite symbol by which the Bible presents celestial happiness is a house. Paul, who never owned a house, although he hired one for two years in Italy, speaks of heaven as a ‘‘house not made with hands,” and Christ in our text, the translation of which is a little changed, so as to give the more accurate meaning, says, “In my Father's house are many rooms.” This divinely authorized comparison of heaven to a great homestead of large accommodations 1 propose to car ry out. In some healthy neighborhood a man builds a very commodious hab itation. He must have room for all ills children. The rooms come to be called after the different members of the family. That Is mother’s room, that is George’s room, that is Henry's room, that is Flora’s room, that is Mary’s room, and the house is nil oc cupied. But time goes by. and the sous go out into the world and build their own homes, and the daughters are married or have talents enough singly to go out and do a good work in the world. After awhile the father and mother are almost alone in the big house, and, seated by the evening stand, they say, “Well, our family is no larger now than when we started together 40 years ago.” But time goes still farther by, and some of the chil dren are unfortunate and return to the old homestead to live, and the grandchildren come with them and perhaps great-grandchildren, and again the house is full. Got! Ilni:i on (lie HHIn. Millennia ago God built on the hills of heaven a great homestead for a family innumerable, yet to be. At first he lived alone in that great house, but after awhile it was occupied by a very large family, cherubic, seraphic, angelic. The eternities passed on, and many of the inhabitants became way ward and left, never to return, and many of the apartments were vacant. I refer to the fallen angels. Now these apartments are filling up again. There are arrivals at the old home stead of God’s children every day, and the day will come w^-ii Uiere will be no unoccupied room in ail the house. As you and 1 expect to enter it and make there eternal residence, I thought you would like to get some more par ticulars about the many roomed home stead. “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” You sec, 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 we would not want to live with In the same room. They may be better than we are, but they are of a di vergent temperament. We would like to moot with them on the golden streets and worship with them in the temple and walk with them on the river banks, but I am glad to say that we shall live in different apartments. “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” You see. heaven will lie so large that if one wants an entire room to himself or herself it can be af forded. An ingenious statistician, taking the statement made In Revelation, twenty- first chapter, that the heavenly Jeru salem was measured and found to be 12.000 furlongs and that the length and height and breadth of it are equal, says that would make heaven in size !)1S sextillion OSS quintillion cubic feet, and then, reserving a certain por tion for the court of heaven and the streets and estimating that the world may last a hundred thousand years, he ciphers out that there are over 5,000,000,000,000 rooms, each room 17 feet long. l‘J feet wide. 15 feet high. But I have no faith in the accuracy of that calculation. He makes the rooms too small. From all 1 can read the rooms will bo palatial, and those who have not had enough room In this world will have plenty of room at the lust. 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 other cradles, and the graves crowded in the cemetery by other graves, and one of the richest luxuries of many people in getting out of this world will be the gaining of unhindered and unernmped room. And I should not wonder if, Instead of the room that the statistician ciphered out as only 17 feet by 10. it should be lar ger than any of the rooms at Berlin, St. James or Winter palace. “In my Fa ther’s house are many rooms.” A ‘VlnJcHtlc IIoiii(‘mI<-!i<I. Carrying out still further the sym bolism of the text, let us Join hands and go up to this majestic homestead and see for ourselves. As we ascend the golden steps an invisible guards man swings op“ii the front door, and we are ushered to the right into tlio reception room of the old homestead. That Is the place where we first meet the welcome of heaven. There must be a place where the departed spirit enters ami a place in which it con fronts the Inhabitants celestial. The reception room of the newly arrived from this world—what scenes it must have witnessed since the first guest ar rived, the victim of the first Gatrlelde, pious Abel! In that room Christ lov ingly greets all newcomers. He re deemed them, and he has the right to the first embrace on arrival. WUqt a minute when the ascended spirit first sees the Lord! Better than all we ever r* nd about him or talked about him or sang about him in nil the churches and through all our earthly lifetime will it ho, Just for one second, to see him. The most rapturous idea we ever had of him on sacramental days or at the height of some great revival or under the uplifted baton of an oratorio Is a bankruptcy of thought compared with the first Hash of Ids appearance in that reception room. At that moment when you confront each other. Christ looking upon you and you looking up on Christ, there will bo an ecstatic thrill and surging of emotion that beg gar all description. Look! They need no introduction. Long ago Christ chose that repentant sinner, and that repentant sinner chose Christ. Mighti est moment of an immortal history— the first kiss of heaven! Jesus and the soul! The soul and Jesus! Life In Henven. But now into that reception room pour the glorified kinsfolk, enough of earthly retention to let you know .them, but without their wounds or their sicknesses or their troubles. See what heaven has done for them—so radiant, so gleeful, so transport!ugly lovely! They call you by name. They greet you with an ardor proportioned to the anguish of your parting and the length of your separation. Father! Mother! There is your child. Sisters! Brothers! Friends! I wish you Joy. For years apart, together again in the reception room of the old homestead. You see. they will know you are com ing. There are so many immortals tilling all the spaces between here and heaven that news like that (lies like lightning. They will be there in an instant. Though they were in some other world on errand from God, a signal would he thrown that would fetch them. Though you might at first feel dazed and overawed at their supernal splendor, all that feeling will be gone at their first touch of heavenly salutation, and we will say: “Oh, my lost boy!” “Oh, my lost companion!” “Oh, my lost friend! Are we here to gether?” What scenes in that recep tion room of the old homestead have been witnessed! There met Joseph and Jacob, finding it a brighter room than anything they saw in I’haraoh’s palace; David and the little child for whom he once fasted and wept; Mary and Lazarus after the heartbreak of Bethany; Timothy and grandmother Lois: Isabella Graham and her sailor son; Alfred and George Cookman, the mystery of the sea at last made mani fest; Luther and Magdalene, the daughter lie bemoaned; John Howard and the prisoners whom he gospelized, and multitudes without number who, once so weary and so sad, parted on earth, but gloriously met in heaven. Among ali the rooms of that house there is no one that more enraptures my soul than that reception room. “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” The Throucroout. Another room in our Father’s house is the tliroueroom. We belong to the royal family. The blood of King Jesus llows in our veins, so we have a right to enter the tliroueroom. It is no easy thing on earth to get through even the outside door of a king's residence. During the Franco-German war, one eventide in the summer of 1S70, 1 stood studying the exquisite sculpturing of the gate of the Tuileries, Baris. Lost in admiration of the wonderful art of that gate, I knew not that l was ex citing suspicion. Lowering my eyes to the crowds of people, 1 found my- self being closely inspected by the gov ernmental o'tiicials, who, from my com plexion, judged me to be a German and that for some belligerent purpose I 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 I reached my hotel and were not satis fied until from my landlord they found that I was only an inoffensive American. The gates of earthly pal aces are carefully guarded, and if so, how much more the tliroueroom! A dazzling place is it for mirrors and all costly art. No one who ever saw the tliroueroom of the first and only Napoleon will ever forget the letter N embroidered in purple and gold on the upholstery of chair and window, the letter N gilded on the wall, the letter N chased on the chalices, the letter N tlaming from the ceiling. What a cou- flagratiou of brilliance the tliroueroom of Charles Immanuel of Sardinia, of Ferdinand of Spain, of Elizabeth of England, of Boniface of Italy! But the tliroueroom of onr Father’s house hath a glory eclipsing all the throne- rooms that ever saw scepter wave or crown glitter or foreign embassador how. for our Father's throne is a throne of grace, a throne of mercy, a throne of holiness, a throne of justice, a throne of universal dominion. Wo need not stand shivering and cower ing before it, for our Father says we may yet one day come up and sit on It beside him. “To him that overcom- cth will 1 grant to sit witli me in my throne.” You see. we are princes and princesses. Berhaps now we move about Incognito, ns Bctcr the Great in llic garb of a ship carpenter at Am sterdam or as Queen Tirzah in the dress of n peasant woman seeking the prophet for her child’s cure, hut it will be found >t t after awhile who we are when we get into the throncroom. Aye, we need not wait until then. Wc may by prayer and song and spiritual uplifting fids moment enter the tliroue- room. O King, live forever! We toucli the scepter and prostrate our selves at thy feet. The crowns of the royal family of this world are tossed about from gen eration to generation end from family to family. There are men comparative ly young In Berlin who have seen the crown on three emperors. But wher ever the coronets of tills world rise or fall they are destined to meet In one place. And 1 look ami see them com ing from north and south and oast and west, the Spanish crown, the Italian crown, the English crown, the Turk ish crown, the Russian crown, the Per sian crown—ayo, all the crowns from under tin* great arch I volt of heaven— and while I watch and wonder they are all flung In rain of diamonds around the pierced feet. J<?u* shall rditn where’er the run I toes his successive journey* run, Hi* kingdom stretch from shore to shore Till sun nhall rkc six] set no more. Oh, that tliroueroom of Christ! “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” Mimic of Heaven. Another room in our Father’s house hi, the music room. St. John and other Bible writers talk so much about the music of heaven that there must be tiiusic there, perhaps not such as on earth was thrummed from trembling string or evoked by touch of Ivory key; lint, If not Hint, then something better. There are so many Christian harpists and Christian composers and Christian organists and Christian choristers and Christian liymuologlsts that have gone up from earth, there must be for them some place of espe cial delectation. Shall we have music in tliis world of discords and no music in the land of complete harmony? I cannot give you the notes of the first bar of the new song that is sung in heaven. 1 cannot Imagine either the solo or the doxology. But heaven means music, and can mean nothing else. Occasionally that music lias es caped the gate. Dr. Fuller, dying at Beaufcrt, & C., said: “Do you not hear?” “Hear what?” exclaimed the bystanders. “The music! Lift me up! Open the windows!” In that music room of our Father’s house you will some day meet the old masters, Mozart and Handel and Men delssohn and* Beethoven and Dod dridge, whose sacred poetry was ns re markable as his sacred prose, and James Montgomery ami William Cow- per, at last got rid of his spiritual mel ancholy, and Bishop Heber, who sang of “Greenland’s icy mountains and In dia’s coral strand." and Dr. Rallies, who wrote of “High in yonder realms of light,” and Isaac Watts, who went to visit Sir Thomas Abney and wife for a week, but proved himself so agreeable a guest that they made him stay 30 years, and side by side Au gustus Toplady, who has got over his dislike for Methodists, and Charles Wesley, freed from his dislike for Cal vinists, and George W. Bcthune, as sweet as a songtnaker as he 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 cradle, and many who were passionately fond of music, but could make none themselves, the poorest singer there more than any earthly prima donna and the poorest players there more than any earthly Gott- schalk. Oh. that music room, the head quarters of cadence and rhythm, sym phony and chant, psalm and antiphon! May we be there some hour when Ilaydu sits at the keys of one of his own oratorios, and David the psalmist fingers the harp, and Miriam of the Red sea banks claps the cymbals, and Gabriel puts his lips to the trumpet and the four and twenty elders chant, and Lind and Barepa render match less duet in the music room of the old heavenly homestead! “In my Fa ther’s house are many rooms.” Jnyfnl Rennlnnn. Another room in our Father’s house will be the family room. It may corre spond somewhat with the family room on earth. At morning and exeniug, you know, that is the place we now meet. Though every member of the household have a separate room, in the family room they all gather, and joys and sorrows mid experiences of all styles are there rehearsed. Sa cred room in all our dwellings, wheth er it be luxurious with ottomans and divans and hooks in Russian lids standing in mahogany case or there be only a few plain chairs and a cra dle. So the family room on high will be the place where the kinsfolk assem ble and talk over the family experi ences of earth, the weddings, the births, the burials, the festal days of Christmas and Thanksgiving reunion. Will the children departed remain chil dren there? Will the aged remain aged there? Oh, no! Everything is perfect there. The child will go ahead to glorified maturity, and the aged will go back to glorified maturity. The rising sun of the one will rise to meri dian. and the descending sun of the other will return to meridian. How ever much we love our children on -eartli. we would consider it a domestic disaster if they staid children, and so we rejoice at their growth here. And when we meet in the family room of our Father’s house we wjll be glad that they have grandly and gloriously ma tured, while our parents, who were aged and infirm hero, we shall be glad to find restored to the most agile and vigorous Immortality there. If 40 or 45 or 50 years be the apex of physical and mental life on earth, then the heavenly childhood will advance to that, and the heavenly old age will retreat to that. When we join them in that fami ly room, we shall have much to tell them. We shall want to know of them, right away, such things as these: Did you see us in this or that or the other struggle? Did you know when we lost our property and sympathize with us? Did you know we had that awful sickness? Were you hovering any where around us when we plunged Into that memorable accident? Did you know of our backsliding? Did you know of that moral victory? Were you pleased when we started for heaven? Did you celebrate the hour of our conversion? And then, wheth er they know It or not, we will tell them all. But they will have more to tell us than we to tell them. Ten years on earth may be very eventful, but what must be the biogra phy of ten years in heaven? They will have to tell us the story of coronations, story of news from ail immensity, sto ry of conquerors and hierarchs, story of wrecked or ransomed planets, sto ry of angeljc victory over diabolic re volts, of extinguished suns, of oblit erated constellations, of new galaxies kindled and swung, of stranded com ets, of worlds on tire, and story of Je hovah’s majestic reign. If in that fam ily room of our Father’s house we have so much to tell them of what we have passed through since we parted, how much more thrilling and arousing that which they have to tell us of what they have passed through since we parted! Surely that family room will he one of the most favored rooms in all our Father’s house. What long lingering there, for we shall never again be In a hurry! “Let ne open a window,” said a humble Christia t servant to Lady Radies, who, because of the death of her child, had shut herself up In a dark room and refused to see any one. "You have been many days In tliis dark room. Are you not ashamed to grieve In this manner when you ought to be thanking God for having given you the most beautiful child that ever was seen, and. Instead of leaving him [ In this world till he should be worn with trouble, lias not God taken him to heaven In all his beauty? Leave off weeping and let me open a window." So today I am trying to open upon the darkness of earthly separation the win dows and doors and rooms of the heavenly homestead. "In my Father’s house are many rooms.” Houi-ia For \ll. How would it do for my sermon to leave you in that family room today? I am sure there Is no room In which you would rather stay than in the en raptured circle of your ascended and glorified kinsfolk. We might visit oth er rooms in our Father's house. There may be picture galleries penciled not with earthly art, but by some process unknown in tliis world, preserving for the next world the brightest and most stupendous scenes of human history, and there may be lines and forms of earthly beauty preserved for heaven ly Inspection In something whiter and chaster and richer than Venetian sculpture ever wrought—rooms beside rooms, rooms over rooms, large rooms, majestic rooms, opalescent rooms, amethystine rooms. “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” I hope none of us will be disappoint ed about getting there. There is a room for us if we will go and take It, but in order to reach it it is absolutely necessary that we take the right way, and Christ is the way, and we must enter at the right door, and Christ is the door, and we must start in time, and the only hour you are sure of is the hour the clock now strikes, and the only second the one your watch is now ticking. 1 hold in my hand a roll of letters Inviting you all to make that your home forever. The New Testa ment is only a roll of letters inviting you, as the spirit of them practically says: “My dying yet immortal child in earthly neighborhood, I have built for you a great residence. It is full of rooms. I have furnished them ns no palace was ever furnished. Pearls are nothing, emeralds are nothing, chryso prasus Is nothing, illumined panels of sunrise and sunset nothing, the aurora of the northern heavens nothing, com pared with the splendor with which I have garnltufed them. But you must he clean before you can enter there, and so I have opened a fountain where you may wash all your sins away. Come now! Put your weary but cleansed feet on the upward pathway. Do you not see amid the thick foliage on the heavenly hilltops the old family homestead?” “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” Foreman SauderM’ Rrror. James Sanders, foreman of tho dry goods department of tho Mammoth Racket, was tho victim of a pretty good joke the other day. A lady while in the store trading lost a veil, which he care fully laid up until it shonld be called for. Soon afterward a lady called and said to one of the clerks she had lost her baby. Mr. Sanders, being in the rear of the store and not hearing distinctly, thought she said veil, as he had that in mind, and rushed forward and asked her if it was a white or a black one When he found out it was a baby she had lost, he retreated in a collapsed condition.—Chanute Tribune. Fall. “Winded, eh?” sneered the automo bile as it howled past the old gray mare which had stopped to get her breath. But almost simultaneously with the unkind words one of the puffed up tires of the automobile was punctured by a discarded hatpiu that lay in the road. Whereupon the old gray mare smiled and spared enough breath to gasp mockingly, “Winded, eli?” Which story Is told to show that even automobiles may live In glass houses and throw stones.—Brooklyn Life.
