Will Degrees Bring Dissatisfaction? -Some have. atemnted to show that if there be in heaven places of honor dissatisfaction in thr.t blissful-place^ But we hiust look at it in heaven as it is on earth.- When one fills, his stomach to its capacity he envys no i one else regardless.of how much more j thers can take in. A doxen men may sit at the same, table laden with all j kinds of food. * And all are at. libI erty to eat what they with When one eats to his fill he i,s satisfied... In other words "enough" satisfies. A4 pint of^ool sparkling water from a babb|~hng ^ i'ii ir<it or more from the same source to | quench the thirst of afiothcr. But ^ ! the one pint' man has enough and car es not. how many quarts the. other man may drink. So in heaven when one gets a sufficient reward from God for such service as he rendered on earth j he is satisfied frtr he has. "enough." ' And theerefore he is not effected the fdeast in seeing others with more stars in ' their crown for having passed through greater-tribulations of suff-, erings for theft I.trrd and Master. When I get to heaven I will expect Isaiah of whom -tradition says was sawn asunder and Peter who was cru- ^ cifred with his head downward and Stephen whose head was beaten into j a plup with stones, to have a higher place in heaven than I will. t- Final Word On Heavenly. Degrcs J ! Jesus Christ said unto his .diciples, I "Ye which have followed me in the j regeneration when the Son of man 1 shall1 sit in the throne ol His glory, j ye shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'' 1 St. Matt? 19:2s. . Judges on thrones sway a royal jurisdetion over others. In this expression of our Lord and Christ we find superiority irt one class in heaven and subordination in another.?If wn only grant ths^nuch. that there is something peculiar reserved for Christ's apostles, we have introduced the principle of degreees . in linnvon Jn St. Luke 19:18-19 1 There is something in heaven which is represented by the figures of being ; over ten cties, and there is another j of being ruler over five cities. What : | is that but graduation of some kind, j I What ever it may moan, this is clear, i | that there is one position amounting j tn only half the other. Lastly, if we lIUllPH.
