IMEnHOHEIMUR TALMAGE SERMON »t By Rev. FRANK DE WITT TALMAGE. D.D.. Pastor of Jefferson Park f reaby- teriaLfi Church. Cbice.So Chicago, Aug. 23.—From the glitter and fascination of worldly pleasures and enjoyments the preacher In this sermon directs us to the contemplation of the greater J tys of the “hotter land.’’ The text is 1 Corinthians xv, 49, “We shall also bear the image of the heav enly;.” What Is heaven? Some people think that we do not know much about it. I remember how my father, who loved to preach about the “celestial^city,” used to say he felt when ho described it— that he was looking through “a glass darkly.” Some years ago one of his dear friends, Judge Nellsou, was dying. He was Brooklyn’s most honored ju rist. The last time my father visited him the Judge asked, “What did you preach upon lifst/Sabbath?” “Upon heaven.” . “Upon heaven!” exclaimed the old judge. “Will you send me the sermon? I would like to read It.” “Certainly,” said iny father. But that afternoon his face wore a sad smile as he came into the house. I asked, “What is the matter, father?” “Why,” said‘he, “I have been down to visit Judge Neilson, who Is dying. He asked me to send him my last Sunday’s {ser mon on heaven. I was just thinking that within a few (hiys the old judge will be in heaven. He will go there just after reading my description of it. Then all the grandeur and glories of that celestial city will so eclipse any thing that I have ever dreamed of that he'will laugh at me and my sermon and say what a poor idea Talmage had of what Christ lias prepared for us. ‘For since the beginning 'of the world men have not heard noir perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides thee, what he liatli prepared for him that waiteth for_him.’ I guess I will not send Neilson’ my sermon on heaven. It would make me’a laughing stock for him through all eternity.” A Glance Throimh the Gates. That Is true. No human mind can conceive, no human voice or pen can depict, the beauties of the celestial kingdom. There are, however, pas sages in God’s word which open the pearly gates a little way, ho that we can catch n glimpse of the supernal grandeur of that city of celestial glory. We can, as It were, pluck a rose of Sharon or a lily of the valley and learn in miniature what the fragrance of the heavenly gardens shall be, where every hillside and mendowland is covered with perpetual flora. Through the crevice of that open'gate wo can, as it were, for a moment catch a sight of the redeemed, whose garments are as white as the driven snow and whose joys are limited only by their own. ca pacity to enjoy the happiness provided for them by their almighty and all loving Father. It is for such n glimpse of this heaven, to which all Uhrlstians are heading, that I would open my Bi ble today and speak from the text, “As we have borne the image of the earthy we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.” Heaven Is a place of immortal rcsi deuce. What does that hnply? “Why,” answers some one, “that means we shall live on millions iqiou millions of years.” It means that long after this earth as a burning ^star shall flicker and go out our spiritual existence shall continue. It means a conscious life extending to ages which dwarf into brevity the longest term even of the inanimate relics of tbe most remote past. “Immortal!” exclaimed Napoleon Bonaparte, turning to one of his gener als who hud applied the epithet to a statue of vast antiquity which had been brought from Egypt to the Ixm- vro In I’aris. “Immortal! That is not Immortal. What are the three or four thousand years which that statue has existed in comparison with the Immor tality which goes on for ever and ever?” But the immortality of heaven is not to be measured in years alone. It Is the Immortality of eternal youth. Old age implies weakness of body and of mind. In heaven there wWl be such a perfect renewal of our powers day by day that the passage of years leaves no trace of decay. No Net-d of Rest In Heaven. I’erfect adjustment of the resurrected body to its celestial surroundings proves there is to be no light for an immortal existence. Why do<*s the physical body grow tired? Because It is not In perfect accord with Its phys ical surroundings. In order to make the heart pump I must breathe. Yet every time I inhale the air that oxygen j burns up part of my physical being, which must be replaced by food and ! physical nourishment. WTiy do the j great clouds' of smoke ascend from the ' funnels of the locomotive and the chim neys of the factories? Because those clouds form component parts of wasted , energies. Imperfect consumption of fuel Implies that the cool must be con tinually shoveled Into the furnaces or else the machinery will stop. But In that heavenly land there shall be no need of sleep, because the redeemed body, perfectly adjusted to its celestial ■urroundings, will never know fatigue. There shall be no need of physicians, because pain, which Is the warning sig nal of Infirmity, shall never have any of our joints in Its twist. There shall be no need of recreation, because then all stings shall be, once for all, perfect ly created. We marvel at -the perfect adjust ment in the natural world. We won der at the vast resources of power which can swing the stars in their courses and make whirling constella tions marshal themselves upon the heavenly plains and yet have no eon- fusion in passing views. Once in awhile we are horror struck when some of the elements seem to balk and the lightnings, as fractious colts, kick over the traces and start to smash things. We stand aghast when the dark gar ments of a tornado sweep past us, or two storm clouds collide and the heav ens arc ablaze with electricity and the ear is startled with the crashing of tlie thunder and the freshets come and the bridges are swept away. But pil the time when these elements are at war we think of the greater power j which holds the moon and the sun off from tlie earth at arm’s length. We think of the greater power of the laws of evaporation, which with golden pul leys lifted those water into tlie clouds. We think of the law of cohesion or of spcciiic gravity, which holds this old earth together in a compact sphere. We think of the power inherent In vege table and animal life of sucking up the waters which flow by their sides. We marvel at the great adjustment of nature—marvel not only because it works like the wl 'Is of a perfect automaton, but because it seems to work without friction. The Attainment of Perfection. Now, my friends, if we w der at the seemingly perfect adjustua ut of the mundane elements, can wt ’’ot the more marvel at the perfect adjustment of the redeemed body with its heavenly surroundings? Shall we not rejoice over the thought that all our faculties shall lie enlarged and developed and yet keep on enlarging and de' eloping and never grow tired? * We ha e read that for over fifty years John Wesley preached on an average sixtei n ser mons per week, or nearly thr< ser mons per day. How vigorous must have been the constitution that could perform that task! But in heaven we shall all have vigorous constitutions. Oh, the rapture of that better land In which tlie services we render will never produce weariness nor tbe in finite subjects that will engage our at tention ever cause satiety! Our bands grow weary, even though they may lie busy in well doing. But In that “beau- 1 tiful land” we sliall never be wearv of well doing. Then our redeemc, j IxmIIch shall have a perfect eye, a per feet ear, a perfect tongue, a perfect foot, a perfect hand clasp. Then all our faculties shall not only have the resilience of youth, but the alertness and perfect adjustment of immortality. We shall live and continue to live, be cause decay and corruption shall flee away when “death, tbe last enemy, shall be destroyed.” Heaven is to be a place of progress ive enjoyments. If the resurrected brain is to be alert it must'have some thing to feed upon. So some writers have predicted that In the “heavenly city” we shall have our music halls and libraries and museujns and art galleries, places for intellectual as well as spiritual development. I personally take no exception to this thought. I believe the musical desire is a God given desire. The celestial harp or the celestial canvas or Hie celestial statue is not a degradation of tlie word celes tial. But, though there may be many intellectual enjoypients of heaven, 1 believe there shall be two which will most appeal to the denizens of the skies! The first is in studying tbe wonderful construction of the celestial city. “Oh.” answers some one, “I know now what is the formation of heaven. It is a great walled town. And the length and breadth and the height of it are nil equal. And the city is made of puce gold, and the foundations of the walls of tin* city are a collection of precious stones, and the twelve gates of the city are twelve massive pearls. Why. the book of Revelation describes the city to its minutest detail.” Do you truly mean what you say? Do you affirm that the streets of heav en are to be literally made'out of yel low bricks and the city to bo n walled in town with a lot of precious stones for foundations? Why, tbe apostle in tlie book of Revelation is merely talk ing in figurative language or in the lan- 1 guago of earth. He is giving us a de scription of heaven in figures which we ! can comprehend. lie does not mean that heaven is to have streets of gold any more than be literally means that hell is to be a place of fire. Fire is n symbol of torture. Gold nftd precious stones are the symbols of unlimited luxuries. Tims the apostle plies to gether a great mass of diamonds and sapphires and emeralds and topazes and amethysts and says: “Heaven is to be like that. Heaven is to be like pearls, like mansions of white, like golden boulevards. Picture,to yourself tlie brightest place you possibly can, and heaven Ih to be multlpotently, in finitely, transcendently more beauti ful.” Yet when at last we reach heav en all will be so new, so strange, that our minds through all eternity will never tire of exploring the grandeur. We shall take wings of the morning and fly away as a bird, and every place our eye lights upon shall offer inex haustible fields of investigation. But infinitesimal will bo the enjoy ment of studying the physical construc tion of heaven compared with that of studying the beautiful characters of those Immortals who will everywhere live about us. Old Samuel Johnsoq, I think It was. once said: “The grandest of cathedrals or the most wonderful !>oom In stone never impressed me so much ns the sight of a human being. Tlie reason I am loath to leave London is not on account of Its Bt. Paul’s and Westminster abbey, but because of the endless sea of humanity, every human being of which has for me a strange fascination.” The study of tbe human character Is the most Interesting of all studies. He*T*n a Place of Surprlsoa, Now. the more you live with some people the more you appreciate their love and devotion and realize their true worth. When you were a little child you thought you loved your mofher. but every year you grew older tbe more beauty aud tenderness you found in her life. When she was old and her hair silvered and face wrinkled and form emaciated she thought that her work was done and wondered why God did not come and get her. But she became dearer to you then every day. You said to her just before her death: “Mother, mother, 1 cannot get along without you. I am just now be ginning to appreciate what your love means.” Yes. it takes some of us ten, twenty, forty—aye, fifty—years to fully appreciate the beautiful characters of those who have lived by our side. Each month reveals some new sweetness or gentleness, each year some new worth. So our heaven is to Ik? a place of continual surprises. We shall all be houfrly and daily discovering some new manifestation of purity aud love in the lives of these with whom we are spending eternity. We shall be con tinually surprised with their thought fulnesses mid sacrifices and tender at tentions. When they do us the unex pected kindnesses which only heaven can offer we shall delightedly exclaim, “Why, Mary, though I have been living with you now in heaven for a thou sand years I never realized before bow thoroughly kind # you could be.” Their spiritual beauties, their noble deeds, their self sacrificing attentions, sliall be as a changing kaleidoscope, ever re vealing to us new natures and wonder fully new developments of love. Heaven is to be a place of manifested gratitude,^a place where we cun thank those whose self sacrifices helped save us when we were upon the earth. It will be u place where we can lay at the feet of our benefactors the’Vicb golden sheaves of our liVes which came us a result of their seed planting. It shall be a place where others may rejoice in our gospel conquests because their words of advice and their prayers and their examples were the means of first leading us to the foot of the cross and starting us forth as gospel messengers. Heaven must be such a place. Why? Because most (Tiristians never live long enough on earth to see the full results of ‘their services for the Master. But few gospel workers can say, as did Simeon of old, “Imrd, now lettest thou thy servant depart iu peace, according to thy word, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before tbe face of all people.” When ray father was born lie was tbe young est of thirteen children. My grand- molher was well advanced in years. Soon after ids birth she turned to her husband and said, “Oh, David, I am so sorry that we will not in all probability live long enough to see little Do Witt, our baby, grow into strong manhood and consecrate himself as a laborer in tlie vineyard of the Lord Jesus Christ.” As with my grandmother, the regret which nearly all Ghristlans have is that in an earthly sense we shall not live long enough to see the harvestings of our- gospel seed planting. We shall not live long enough to see our boys and girls, for whom we have slaved and worked and prayed, grow up Into Christian men and women and see them as teachers In' Christian Sunday schools and leaders iu evangelistic meetings and perhaps elders aud minis ters about the communion table of the Lord’s supper. Rut in heaven we shall know a 1 Hint the glorious results of our Christian labors. In heaven the re deemed mother shall not only see her children, but her children’s children, who have been saved through- her prayers and consecration. In heaven there sliall be rejoicing everywhere, be cause we sliall there know that tbrougli tho results of our labors tbe “dead are alive again and the lost are found.” With tbe Saintly Men of Old. And, oh, how many redeemed im mortals we shall have to tlnuik In that heavenly kingdom! John Todd, you wore dead thirty years liefore I was born, but I shall In heaven thank thee for the yellow leaves of that old book I found in my father's library of which you were the author. That book was one of tlie means used by the Holy Spirit of turning my thoughts to ward the Christian ministry. William H. Milburn. twenty years blind chap lain of the United States senate, thou didst not, in all pnobability, ever hear of my name. With thy siglitloss eyes thou dist make me turn many a grate ful glance toward tbe Christ who In heaven Is today watching thy raptur- ous and holy face. I wish to thank thee, O redeemed spirit, thou who years ago a's a Sunday school teacher in the old Brooklyn tabernacle didst shed many an anxious tear over thy scholars. I would tell thee that today in tlie sacred ministry I feel tbe touch of thy sainted bund and hear the ear nest tone of thy pleading voice. Yes, there ate many spirits in heaven we would thank for what they did for us when upon the earth. Wo would thank them that they may rejoice, as we all rejoice, and that their hosannas of grat itude might bo augmented wltfc our halleuiahs. But if heaven is to be a place of manifested gratitude It is also to bo a place of gloriops reminiscences. At tbe camp fires of the Grand Army re unions we have heard tho old veterans talking over tho struggles, the defeats and triumphs of tbe civil war. We have heard what comrades at Shiloh did, and what comrades at Atlanta did, and what comrades at Petersburg did. To the old veterans the struggle of the civil war is never on old story. So In the lienvenly reunions the gospel vet erans will love to talk over the Chris tian struggles of the past. As Christian,comrades one will say: “Do you remember tbnMIme when we started those cottage prayer meetings? As a result of those prayer meetings what a glorious revival wo had —a hundred and twenty souls for Christ!” ‘’Tea,” says another, “that reminds me of what a bard time we hud In starting that mission school down In the slams. Cynics said it would do no good, but it did, it did." “Yes,” will answer many voices, “we were converted and saved through those little meetings.” Then the pastors and the different congrega tions will get together, and they will have their reminiscences. And the parents and the children will get to- gether, and they will talk over again the blessings which came from their altars. And the Bible distributers will tell bow they were scoffed at and yet blessed as they distributed tlvfir tracts and sacred leaves. And Francis E. Clark and tbe Christian Endeavorers will have their separate reunions. We shall he in that “better land” living over and over again the Christian Joys which we passed through when serving Christ upon the earth. Oh, my friends, if this idea is true, that heaven is to be a place of glorious reminiscences, ought we not all to double and treble our energies in the service of Jesus Christ? Shall we not by tffe power of the Holy Spirit do more and more for our Saviour, wlio has done so much for us, in order to be able to drink deep out of tills golden chalice of celestial pleas ure? K*we to Face With Christ. But the greatest celestial Joy of all I have reserved until the last. Heaven is to be a place of perpetual worship. “Does that mean,” asks some one, “heaven is to be a great cathedral or church in which all the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem shall assemble and pray to, him—and pray to him and never cease to pray to him? In which there shall be a service with no dox- ology aud no benediction, for that serv ice shall be without beginning and without end?” Oh, no, my brother. I do not believe you have caught the right Idea of the worship of the celestial city. Heaven is not to be a church, where we shall have stated times for prayers and hynlns. St. John distinctly says in his Apocalypse: “And I saw no temple therein. For the. Lord God Almighty and the Lamb and the temple are of it.” That means, ns I take It, Instead of having buildings especially dedicated for the worship'of tlie Trinity we shall feel, wherever wo may be, that we are standing face to face with Christ. Aud then our hearts shall be so full of gratitude to him for what he lias done for us that our eyes and lips and tongues and hearts will never cease to praise him. It will not be tbe worship of Intercession or of pleading for tlie pardon of sin, but the worship of ad oration and of eternal homage. Perhaps my thought may be simply illustrated by a conversation I had with a very dear friend some time ago. This noble Christian n^in turned to me one day and said: “Do you know that my ideas of prayer and worship have greatly changed within the last few years? When I used to pray I would make out a long list of petitions for which I would ask God. But now I have begun to see that he loves me better than I love myself. Therefore, instead of saying, O God, give me this or that,’ I simply say, ‘O Christ, thou art kg'*good and pure; suit thy self in reference to my life and thou wilt suit me. Thy will, O Lord, and not mine, be done.’ ” Bp In that heav enly land we sliall have but one prayer and one song, “Thy will, O Lord, not mine, be done.” We shall sing it on the street. We shall sing it in the green pastures beside the still waters. We shall sing it In chorus with our loved ones. We shall sing it when we are alone. “Thy will, O God, thy will bo done!” In that one song, and that alone, we shall find the per petual and never ending worship of heaven. Thus, my dear Christian friends, 1 have tried to open for you a little way the gates of the glorious “city of the redeemed.” I have tried to eternally hind our lives with the immortal lives of our dead. Like Christian in Run yan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress,” may you continue to strive to enter into the “strait gate.” And like the Christian Queen Victoria may you hopefully and triumphantly he able to write the same kind of an epitaph upon the tomb stones of your lovefl ones as she chisel ed upon tlie mausoleum of the'departod prince consort: “Farewell, beloved. Here at last I will rest with thee. With thee in Christ sliall I rise again.” Such is the gospel prophecy for all who love him. Heaven! Heaven! Glorious heaven! Heaven of the living Chris tians! Heaven of the Christians who are resurrected! Heaven, eternal and never ending heaven! [Copyright, 1933, by Louis Klopsch.] Mr. Howell* In EnKland.
