Some Interesting Pacts Concerning1 the, Pro- gress o! the Work. Ocean GiipvK, N. j., January, 18, ’94. To the JCditor, o f the Times: //■,- / ‘ *.?. Deah Biju—As there is much realintor- cflt, not to gay anxiety, on tlie. yvart of raoriy fneh(3fl and contributors- iii 411 parts of the country, ; concerning the great structure named above, will you please allow, me ’a little space, in your interesting" arid valuable paper, to say a few things, which may be relied on, as nearlX asany7 matters subject to human contingencies can ^be. 1 Since tlie adoption of our general plans Os prepared by Mr. Fred. T. Camp, arch- itect, of New York ,1 at "our last annual meeting, Oct* 10, 1893, the building com- mittee has not lost an hour that could be used to advantage in forwarding the ; work. The plans hud to be mollified, over and over again, and re-submitted for approval after every change, all of which * required time. When f said plans were completed and adopted as a whole, esti- mates/and bids were callcd for through the public papers in New York; ^Philadelphia; Baltimore, Asbtiry Park, Ocean GtoVe, &c\, and .three/weeks. time given for bin 1dera to examine and re]>prt. When these bids came in^ Nov. 15, 18011, they were numerous, varied and needed. much care in classifying and examining;- When carefully examined, it was found ;• that the aggregated amount of cost,; hik- ing the lowest bids, would over-run our . financial limit, which wits $80,000. This involved further* .andjnutnerous. readjust- • mente, all of which irivolved time, for the comiSittee knew from past experience that if we started out atan expense exceed- ing our limit o f $50,000, when we reached the end, taking -iii extras, and things which could not be enumerated, we should be very far beyond it, and there- fore we must, hold our first estimates as near the original sum as possible. Finally, after numerous and very vexatious delays, the contracts are all now signed, the last > . being effected on Saturday, January 1 8 - at I P. M. •, v:' 7 Tlie contracts thus awarded are as-fob. lows: Steel arid, iron work to^ Milliken Brothers, 3S| Cortlandt street, New York City:; carpenter work to Hopkins & Rob- erts, 245 Broadway ^ N .’Y .; mason work to Titian Summers, Ocean Grove, -N. J .; painting to George M; Bennett, Ocean; Grove, NV Ji j plumbing to Fiitcroft Bros., Ocean Grove; N. J. ; chairs to Andrews Demarest Seating: Co., .lt )8 ; JCast ‘ 10 th Street* New York City* *••••! It woiild have been a great joy to the: building committee if all this work could: have been awarded tdloca 1 buiIders,; but so far Os the steel and iron work.aiid the , manufacturing/of chairs are ;concerned; these Were entirely out o f local jihes^ Up to a very late date, .we fully/expected the caipentor's contract, which is the largest, would have been taken; in ' this vicinity, and it is our regret that it is hot so. : : -. All . these/con tracts have bcoti 7 made . with the/utmost care, having especial reference toJ’mechanieal skill, economy and financial responsi bllity.. The foun- dations for the building have been laid byourownineh, under the direct ion,of. Captain Rttineajy./ w iioh aa: constructed every foot of the work, under the imme- diate; inspection of B. T. Weed, Esq., aii expert surveyor,, tho representative of L. K. Davis, iSsq., the chief engineer of the whole of the steel and iron work, without whose .full and final approval, none of . this department will pass or be paid for. I am quite well assured that no con- tractor for these foundations could Iuwe done the work better or cheaper : than it lias been. These foundations are all down and the cap stones for tho iron trusses will be in place in a week or ten days. The cellar walls are practically complete. That the weather should have remained so favorable for the work through the : usually stormy months o f December ami January- is matter- for devout thanks- : ■giving.-; ;,:7>\v7 7. V,. 7;.

Dear S i r W e beg to; advise you in relation to the progress o f the structural steel work at Ocean Grove Auditorium that we have delivered, aiid we under- stand they are set ^in plate, the anchor bolts for the building.

K This is a simple statement of the whole case, and in a foiy weeks, two or three at most, the public may expect lively times about the now quiet grounds of the new Auditorium;More than this, with the. commencement of these important activi- tics, -will also'commence heavy drafts on the Auditorium funds. About one. half of the amount subscribed has been paid in, and the balance will be needed. as early;| as it can bft'inade convenient to the sub-. scriberH. i When all subscriptions have been paid, a number of additional thous- ands will bo needed to complete the work: I have always had, aiid continue to feel the utmost confidence in otir ultimate: siiticess. • We expect to be ready to open theliuilding for public woreliip, Sabbath,: July 1; 1894.

A Valuableinjproyement. 7 A much needed improvement has been made this week at the fciot''-of /Main avenue, designed to carry off the large amount of water that accumulates on the occasion of a heavy rain. The natural. slope.of the land noHh ■ of- Main aveitue carries the greater portion:of' the rainfall; to this point and the two twelve - inch underground pipes were too small to carry it away, with the result that the whole street was often flooded as far back as Beach avenue. The improvement con: aista of an eighteen inch pipe, beginning on the west aide of Ocean livenue ana; north side o f Main, running through and emptying east of the board-walk.' In order that the pipe may not get clogged with the debris the water.t’arries down, a large catch basin, six by aixteeii feet in size, and six feet deep has been construct- ed at the westerly ehd, designed to gather all materials likely to clog the pipes and from wjiich. the refiifce - will be removed when necessary, • To prevenfc too inuch eatid and d irt washing into the catch .Imain, the gutter for a distance o f forty or. fifty feet}!will be liiied with flag stones. The new. eighteen inch pipe in addition to tl ie tw o twel vein cl i on es id ready: the re will; now undoubtedly prevent .any fur- ther trouble from floods at,this point. A plre In West Park.

The opinion of the Attorney .General accompanied by a message froin Governor ;Werts, was sent to both bodies on. Tuea- day. Based as it -was on th e. flimsy foundat ion afforded by the. records o f the •t‘Rump” 'Senate, it could not be other- wiaeihah weak aiid it received as little consideration among intelligent people as did the Governor’s , letter of apology which bore i.t company.

The present, situation o f finances through- out tne country calls for more than usual, thought. First, o f all other considera- tions the subject is presented to the minds of ordinary men (like the writer) in the light that politicians are numerous, states- men arc scarce, while patriot8 are not in- existence any moro in this country. If you can*name any man in public, life- Who has a deeper interest in public life than ho has in his pocket-book, yon will please name him. Corruption in all pub- lic allaira is the rule. Office is sought,, and bought for sinister ends, arid the highest and most responsible position, namely, the Senate of the United States, ia aptlv termed a “ .Millionaires Club.” The whole batch of office-seekers a re after the Almighty Dollar and are worshippers at the Shrine of Mammon. “ Ye cannot serve God and .Mammon” is a logical fact, and as the service of the latter is the.practice of this ug«, all the consequences arc following in its t rain., A prize fiirht commands more, attention ami elicits more interest-in the multitude than an earthquake ; theatres more, than , churches. Negro .minstrels will draw a larger crowd (who have to pay- a good round price) than tin; most popular preacher o f t he Gospel, whose services are free to all without money or price. . Wlmt does idl;this prove? Simply this, that the hulk of mankind are working on the principle “ Eat, drmk and he merry, for fo-morrow we die.” While Nature abhors sickness, death and the. grave’, it. also is ever ready to he excused froni their contemplation, aud the acquisition of wealth, with the temporary pleasures it affords, is the highest barrier against moral thought ami action. What is to be the outcome in thiscoun- try of such conditions? In this is mpcii for the philanthropist to consider. D. ji. Wvekbrr. ' Asbury Park, N. J., Jan. 14,1894. Sudden Death of Mrs. Carman.

To the JCditor, o f the Times: • //■,- / ‘ *.?.

Deah Biju— As there is much realin tor- cflt, not to gay anx iety , on tlie. yvart o f raoriy fneh(3fl and contributors- iii 411 parts o f the country, ; concerning the great structure named above, w ill you please allow, me ’ a little space, in your interesting" arid valuable paper, to say a few things, which may be relied on, as nearlX asany7 matters subject to human contingencies can be. 1

Since tlie adoption o f our general plans Os prepared by Mr. Fred. T. Camp, arch­itect, o f New York , 1 at "our last annual meeting, Oct* 10, 1893, the building com­m ittee has not lost an hour that could be used to advantage in forwarding the

; work. The plans hud to be mollified, over and over again, and re-submitted for approval after every change, all o f which

* required time. W hen f said plans were completed and adopted as a whole, esti­mates/and bids were callcd fo r through the public papers in N ew York ; ^Philadelphia; Baltimore, Asbtiry Park, Ocean GtoVe, &c\, and .three/weeks. time given for bin 1 dera to exam ine and re]>prt. W hen these bids came in^ Nov. 15, 18011, they were numerous, varied and needed. much care in classifying and examining;- W hen carefully examined, it was found

;• that the aggregated amount o f cost,; hik­ing the lowest bids, would over-run our

. financial lim it, w h ich wits $80,000. Th is involved further* .andjnutnerous. readjust-

• mente, a ll o f which irivolved time, fo r the comiSittee knew from past experience that if we started out atan expense exceed­ing our lim it o f $50,000, when we reached the end, taking - iii extras, and things which could not be enumerated, we should be very far beyond it, and there­fore w e must, hold our first estimates as near the original sum as possible. Finally, after numerous and very vexatious delays, the contracts are all now signed, the last

>. being effected on Saturday, January 1 8 - at I P. M . •, v:' 7

T lie contracts thus awarded are as-fob. low s : Steel arid, iron work to M illiken Brothers, 3S| Cortlandt street, N ew York C ity :; carpenter work to Hopkins & Rob- erts, 245 Broadway N . ’Y . ; mason work to T itian Summers, Ocean Grove, -N.

J. ; chairs to Andrews Demarest S eating: Co., .lt)8 ; JCast ‘ 10th Street* New Y o rk City* *••••!

I t woiild have been a great jo y to the: building committee i f all this work could: have been awarded td loca 1 buiIders,; but so far Os the steel and iron w ork . aiid the

, manufacturing/of chairs are ;concerned; these Were entirely out o f local jihes^ Up to a very late date, .we fully/expected the caipentor's contract, which is the largest, would have been taken; in ' this vicinity, and it is our regret that i t is hot so. :: -. A ll . these/con tracts have bcoti 7 made

. w ith the/utmost care, having especial reference toJ’mechanieal skill, economy and financial responsi bllity.. The foun­dations for the building have been laid b y ou ro w n in eh , under the direct ion ,o f. Captain Rttineajy./ w iio h a a : constructed every foot o f the work, under the imme­diate; inspection o f B. T. Weed, Esq., aii expert surveyor,, tho representative o f L. K . Davis, iSsq., the ch ief engineer o f the whole o f the steel and iron work, without whose .full and final approval, none o f

. this department w ill pass or be paid for.I am quite well assured that no con­

tractor for these foundations could Iuwe done the work better or cheaper : than it lias been. These foundations are all down and the cap stones for tho iron trusses will be in place in a week or ten days. The cellar walls are practically complete. That the weather should have remained so favorable for the work through the

: usually stormy months o f December ami January- is matter- for devout thanks-

: ■ giving.-; ;,:7>\v7 7. V,.7;. Concerning tho progress of. the steel

Dr. E. H. Stoke's,; Ocean Grove, N. J.Dear S i r W e beg to; advise you in

relation to the progress o f the structural steel work at Ocean Grove Auditorium that we have delivered, aiid we under­stand they are set in plate, the anchor bolts for the building. T h e advance hills o f material to the rolling mills for rolling

. the material were sent , some weeks ago arid tlie m aterial is all practically rolled.,

; The exact hill p f material for about , one h alf o f the structure has been sent to the m ills and the material ia cut, tb finished

• lengths itnd shijjped to tlie shops. The draw in ga for- about two -thirds - ;pf . the structure are finished and a large portion o f this amount is how in. the hands of.the shops and .the men are hard at work making the templets for punch ing and

j pushing tlie material as soon; as it arrives;/ A s soon as the templets iire niade aud the material a n t he‘simps, the work of.assemrV filin g and ri veting ijp will continence and >ve hop«;in the eourcebf/threo weeks to' begin shipping t i ie linished inaterial.: ;O f

: .course,; .you understand that the above ‘ statement as regards .the time o f shipping

the finished material is as near as. we/can• judge a t the:present moineht and depends

largely bt\ the lh\iIroiid Company, .ami. seveiiil other matters that are beyond our control. W e arc doing everyth ing that is

. possible; however, to , see / that nothing prevents tlie rapid execution and delivery o f this.nmterial; As you know, we have delivered the pol^a With vvhtclv we erect this Work and they are how at the site.

Trusting that the above w ill be o f inter- w est to you; we remain,

Very truly youra, v:."v V ’ n ' ;^Iu,!.ikkk Buos.

ought to know just how things arc mov- - ihg. ; :. / '-/V

s shops, bn the ground, and . ha ye com­menced the work o f preparing the lum-

* ber, so as to be/rea^y for its placement as soon as the iron aiid steeV work is - up Their contract is to have all the ir • work.

. completed by the 20th day o f June, 1894. .It ia*understood that these, contractor* will, all things being equal, iii the em ­

ploy men t; o f mechanics, g ive prefereiice to those in our own town and vicinity.

The 'painters tvill keep close o n . the heels o f the carpenters, so as to have the b en e fito f their sea (folding, anil when the carpenter wo rk is done, the painters will not/likely be moro than two or. three day a behind.' - v 1 ;--

Th e contmct for -chairs requires' their delivery F O. B. at the Ocean Grove Sta­tion, not later .than the 15th Of' June, 1894. I f delivered at an earlier date they would have to be handled twice, o r be in our way. K •

Th is is a simple statement o f the whole case, and in a foiy weeks, two or three at most, the public may expect live ly times about the now quiet grounds o f the new A u d ito r iu m ;M o re than this, w ith the. commencement o f these important activi- tics, -will also'commence heavy drafts on the Auditorium funds. About one. h a lf o f the amount subscribed has been paid in, and the balance w ill be needed. as early;| as it can bft'inade convenient to the sub-. scriberH. i W hen all subscriptions have been paid, a number o f additional thous­ands w ill bo needed to complete the work:

I have always had, aiid continue to feel the utmost confidence in otir ultimate: siiticess. • W e expect to be ready to open the liu ild ing for public woreliip, Sabbath,: July 1; 1894.

A Valuableinjproyement.

7 A much needed improvement has been made this week at the fciot''-of /Main avenue, designed to carry o ff the large

amount o f water that accumulates on the occasion o f a heavy rain. T h e natural. slope.of the land noHh ■ of- Main aveitue carries the greater portion:of' the ra in fa ll; to this point and the two tw elve - inch underground pipes were too small to carry it a w ay , w ith the result that the whole street was often flooded as far back as Beach avenue. The improvement con: aista o f an eighteen inch pipe, beginning on the west aide o f Ocean livenue ana; north side o f Main, running through and em ptying east o f the board-walk.' In order that the pipe may not get clogged w ith the debris the water.t’arries down, a large catch basin, six by aixteeii feet in size, and six feet deep has been construct­ed at the westerly ehd, designed to gather all materials likely to clog the pipes and from wjiich. the refiifce - will be removed when necessary, • T o prevenfc too inuch eatid and d i r t washing into the catch .Imain, the gutter for a distance o f forty or. fifty feet}!w ill be liiied with flag stones. The new. eighteen inch pipe in addition to tl ie tw o twel v e in cl i on es id ready: the re will; now undoubtedly prevent .any fur­

Both Senaies Holdlng Sessions—Attorney Gen- 7 .. cral’s Opinion Favori the Demoornta.

The situation at Trenton regarding, tlie, Senate muddle has not changed n'.ateri- a lly during the present week. Fortified by an opinion from the Attorney General o i the State, based on false premises gath­ered from the records o f the “ Rump!’ Democratic Senate and backed by a ir the influence and povYer’a t the command o f the Goveriior,. who obeys tlie behests o f .the party w h ip w ielded by M cD erm ott, Thompson and Mothers ;• the ten Demo­cratic Senators stand-firm; in the unlawful position they, have- assumedr On the other side tlie eleven Republican Senators are confident that the ir position is right and just, and are supported in th is v iew b y the sentiment and encouragement o f a ll law-abiding citizens, including large numbers ,of Democrats who are too hon­est and patriotic to countenance the. ille­gal and unwarranted assumption o f power on the part o f the ir associates at Trenton.

The opinion o f the Attorney . General accompanied b y a message froin Governor ;Werts, was sent to both bodies on. Tuea- day. Based as it -was on t h e . flimsy foundat ion afforded by the. records o f the •t‘Rump” 'Senate, it could not be other- w iaeihah weak aiid it received as little consideration among intelligent people as d id the Governor’s , letter o f apology which bore i.t company. On the same day the Republicans issued an address giving.a.complete history o f the situation and the reason^' which- induced thcni to forn i; a separate orgunizatton, in order to • protect the rights and interests o f tliem - ' selvea and their constituents.

A method to peaceably and satisfactor­i ly settle the di Hi cu lly li as not y e tb e e n developed. I t is possible tlia t the Demo­crats, under the influences now being' brought to bear, from /Washington, may recede from their position, although 1 the racing fraternity arid liquor interests w ill use every possible: measure t o . keep .tlienj in Unci ’ ,

The reformfi which woman suffrage would work in this respect would, fo r a time .at least, be. m arkedly : decisive. These reforms won Id not come through the number o f votes east— for most women seem in no hurry to vote—but through the strong, refining influence by which they would tnrii the tide o f poli­tics in the direi'tion toward right. Tlieh, too,:pnt female suIfrage in the hands o f women, and you g ive them a deadly iii- strunient w ith which they would destroy the saloon power. To th tsv fiend, who strews our land w ith human. wrecks, fe­male suiirage would prove a hangman’s noose. A nd w hat stands between woman and suffrage ? ’7 W hat deprives her. o f her sacred right?

“ No Man Can Serve .T w o Hastera.”

IM lo r Ocean Grove Timer :1 have been a careful reader o f current

literature and have endeavored to apply a common senae teat and judgm ent to tb e ; various phases o f our financial problem. The present, situation o f finances through­out tne country calls fo r more than usual, thought. First, o f all other considera­tions the subject is presented to the minds o f ordinary men (like the writer) in the light that politicians are numerous, states­men arc scarce, w hile patriot8 are not in­existence any moro in this country.

I f you can*name any man in public, life- Who has a deeper interest in public life than ho has in his pocket-book, yon w ill please name him. Corruption in all pub­lic allaira is the rule. Office is sought,, and bought for sinister ends, arid the highest and most responsible position, namely, the Senate o f the United States, ia aptlv termed a “ .Millionaires Club.” Th e whole batch o f office-seekers a re after the A lm ighty Dollar and are worshippers at the Shrine o f Mammon.

“ Y e cannot serve God and .Mammon” is a logical fact, and as the service o f the latter is the.practice o f this ug«, all the consequences arc follow ing in its t rain.,

A prize fiirht commands more, attention ami elicits more interest-in the multitude than an earthquake ; theatres more, than , churches. Negro .minstrels will draw a larger crowd (w ho have to pay- a good round price) than tin; most popular preacher o f t he Gospel, whose services are free to all without money o r price. .

W lm t does idl;this prove? Simply this, that the hulk o f mankind are working on the principle “ Eat, drmk and he merry, for fo-morrow we d ie.” W hile Nature abhors sickness, death and the. grave’, it. also is ever ready to he excused froni their contemplation, aud the acquisition o f wealth, w ith the temporary pleasures it affords, is the highest barrier against moral thought ami action.

What is to be the outcome in thiscoun- try o f such conditions? In this is mpcii for the philanthropist to consider.

Iiditar (th iin drdir. T im m ; . .

♦ Dkah S i l t T h e article in last week's issue o f you r paper does me a great injus-. tioc. First, the only, condition to which I took exception was in relation to the payments. They had it in live payments.F aaked that it be 111 four. Finally it was modified Home and leit in .five. A ll the Others were agreed upon in Mr. M illiken ’s otlice, M Cortland t street, Now York , on Saturday, December ltl, before the con­tract wan drawn.. When it came it had things in that, were different from our agreement. I o f courso took exception to them and they allowed most o f them. W hy not? It was already agreed to, one- the furnishing o f details.' Air. Fronton, one o f the Building Committee, constitu­ted h im self a.committee. to see to it and I have his letter dated the fo llow ing Mon­day, December 18, in wliich ho states that he w ill hurry the architect, xMr. Oam p, and further.says he. trusts that .1 atn already in 'rece ip t o f same, as said architect lYad promised to send them that day.

The article next says iny last demand sias for indemnity in case o f delay on the’ part o f the iron men-. • . * ’ -. Th in i positively deny. The only de­

mand I made was for an extension o f time for any delay caused by other con­tractors. 1 asked for an extension o f the same number o f days that they m ight koep me back and this the committee at a conference in their room on Thursday evening, December 28, agreed to do ver­bally. A fter conference w ith m y counsel,I sent word to Dr. Stokes the next day that I could not sign this unless it was in­serted in the contract. I afterward met Dr. Stokes and Mr. George W . I1’ vans in theoilice and asked to have the follow ing inserted, “ any delay caused by the steel men or other contractors shall not preju­dice the interests o f the nartv o f the first part." The rcasjm for Ih iV iV there is a clause in the contract which holds the carpenter to look to the steel men for any damage he may sustain.by their delay, i f there be 'an y . T h is 'is unjust, for* the reason that the .carpenter has no contract ■with* them and therefore has no legal claim upon them ; when itpoti. the con­trary, the. committee is protected by a contract with them, with bond aiid for­feit, for the performance o f their work h i . a certain time. - . : ; .

Mr. Kvans took this last proposition to New York and met the other committee, at least he started to. W iien ho carne hack he cailcd at m y house and told m e the committee could not accept o f it. They thought I intended to hold -them for damages occasioned by such, delays.I told him, and have witnesses in my house,that were there, that 1 would g ive him m y word o f honor, o r would g ive him a w riting to the effect that.I would never, hold them Air a money consideration ; all that I .wanted was the extension o f time, (and on ly in cane that is needed b y ' delay.) • The name gentle*,

m an called upon Air. Buchanan o f this place, and had a conference with him upon this.very same matter, after leaving me. A ir. Huchanon met me in the even­ing on Main street and-(old me o f it, ami the n ext morning, I think Jan.-I, so he says,-had a talk with Dr. Stokes and Mr. Kvans, and told them that he had talked wit h me I he evening before upon , this matter and that he then said to- them that the only thing that I wanted was for every twenty-four- hours delay, J wanted the same time granted. In coil- versation with Mr. Buchntibn this day, Jan. 18, he says this is correct,. Finding that L eonid not come to any

agreement, I came hom e-and wrote to Mr, Camp, thfc architect, stating that 1 thought it best under the existing circum­stances .to withdraw. Dr. Stokes the next day wrote me to g iv e him m V final answer, whether I proposed to sign the

Contract or not. In this one lie had in­serted a clause which gave the whole charge to tho architect whether 1 should he entitled to any extension o f time or not, caused by other delays. I refused, for the reason* that it left it one sided; the architect being their employee. ( I mean no reflection upon Mr. Camp, but ■we were com pa inti ve stnmgei-s,) and fur­ther,. 1 had concluded that I was tired of. the delays. 1 tight hero I would say that 1 had written tho committee several days before that unless they hurried up mat- tees, it would be ditlieult to get certain timbers in time. I had already been told by the homo merchants that tlie mills in the hemlock region were shutting down. Some o f the material being such sizes that cannot be go t out o f any ; stock in this cou n ty ; it has to bw specially cut.' Now M r; Editor, I wisli you to g iv e this the same publicity that you gave the for­mer, so it may counteract any injustice the other article may have done me. I fear nothing here where I am known, but it may emise me harm elsew here.

T h ey desire, to know where heaven is. Is i t one o f tho la r­ger planets o f our solar system? Is it in tho dim farofT.m ilky w a y? ’ O r is it the great centra I orb o f tho universe? They desire to know what: heaven is; W hat does i t look like? W hat ohject w ith in the range o f mortal ken docs it resemble? W hat shall w e do in heaven? W hat un­dertakings shall engage our enlarged and unfettered .faculties'? W h a t 'w il l come in to sHtisfy our desire and need o f a c tiv ity when w o aro forever beyond the realm o f earth ly pursuits? W ith whom shall w e keep company there? W h a t language shall w e speak?

Ue w ith Ch iist, and- love him, and praise h im : .Mr. Beecher was qu ite rebellious at tho idea that heaven is a place where God, in tho person o f Christ, sits upon a v is ib le throno and requires iiis m yriads o f saints and an­gels to spend etern ity singing songs and b low in g trumpets to his praise. I Io thought ..there w ou ld bo a very w ea ri­some monotony in such a service. Tho Scriptures do not support any such v iew o f heaven, and I do not know o f aiiy in te lligen t Christian w ho holds to tho conception w hich Mr.- N eed ier so v ig o r­ously repudiated.; IT Wtl.l. NOT D1ISTH0Y OUR IDKNTITV. -.

The B ib lo does hot. teach that the so litary occupation o f tho redeem ed in heaven w ill bo singing songs and b low ­in g trumpets to the praise o f God. Tho man w ho believes that i t does is a c ra z y litcra list. In revea ling to us the rea l­ities o f the fu ture lifo . tho inspired w riters w ere compelled to use im agery :— figures o f speech. In no other w ay could they g iv e us an idea o f supersen- suous and d iv in e things. Th e ir p icto­ria l representations o f the futuro state o f the redeemed w ero ineant to teach us that the worship o f God there, as here, is the highest and most satisfy ing act of-tlie human soul.- * • *

W here .is i t that our souls aro in closest touirh w ith God? W here is it that we. are the mosC conseitms o f the d iv in ity w ith in uh? . W here is i t that onr spiritual facu lties experience the best illum ination and the highest and sweetest exaltation? W here is it that “ heaven coines down* tho soul to greet, and g lo ry crowns the m ercy seat?” I t is where w e worship God “ in. sp irit and in tru th .” I t is in tho.secret cham­ber o f prayer, where wu speak to God, and God speaks to us.in the still small, vo ice o f his-spirit. ; It. is also in h is lio ly temple, w here every facu lty o f the soul is lit'ted up aud enraptured by tho in ­spirations o f sacred music, and the con­secrated spot oii which w e stand is trans­form ed into a Mount o f Transfiguration.

KO.Mt: lHJUIITS DISl'KI.LKI).There are no discords and divisions,

in heaven, • W hy?. Becauso Christ is love,.and a ll. beings theTO take their law- and teinper from him . N oth ing that defileth or maketli a Iio can enter heaven. W hy? Because'ho is tho gate­keeper, and .ho is pure and true. In heaven there .w ill be iio sickness, no caro and sorrow fo r anything, no b ligh t­ed hopes, no disappointment, no auxious forelooking,, no fear, no wounded a ffec­tions, no heartaches, no remuree, no un- eatisfied longing. W hy? Becauso Christ is thero, and “ in his.presence thero is fullness o f jo y . ” W o havo enough in having h im . Wo.ahull bo satisfied when we awake in his likeness. , .

Th is v iew o f the subject disposes o f a ll such questions as. .“ 1 low . can I ho happy in heaven i f J take w ith mo there tho tueiuory' o f l'/.y ow n wrong*, doings and o f tho cares tmd struggles a n d g fie fs o f loved ones lelt behind me?” or, " 1 low can 1 be. happy there and know that.an impassable gu lf separates lito foi ever froin m y father, o r m y inntlier, or my w ife , or.m y ch ild?” A l l pitch problems, w il l ditKolve and disap- pear in the ineffable ligh t o f Christ’s visib le presence. T o havo Christ as our everlasting portion is to have every element o f happiness. .

Th is doctrine m akes: large rcotn for the d ifferin g notnms that mon have about heaven and .their .differing- de­grees o f sensib ility to.th<*next *world. 1 find some Christians w ho have such constant and blessed fellow sh ip w ith Je- 1 5us here, and w ho are so busy w ith tho Christian duties o f this life , that they, are but l it t le inclined -to think about heaven. T h e most godly, active ,;hunir lile, s e lf denying Christian that I kno\V today is a woman who, during, an in­tim ate acquaintance o f many yeara, has scarcely spoken to m o about w hat is to como a fter death. She so en joys -the M aster here, and mind and hands and. heart are ho constantly and earnestly •engaged in his.work in this lower.world, that sho has but lit t le opportunity or- inclination to think o f w hat her state w i l l be in tho w orld above. Other true and fa ith fu l Christians derive most of, their com fort and happiness and most o f the ir inspiration fo r duty, from th ink ing.o f tho glory that shall bo re­vealed to them.when m orta lity is sw a l­lowed up o f l i fe and the ir feet tread tho crystal .pavement o f the eternal city .

Some o f God 's people cling, to .ono as­pect o f the heavenly .state and somo to ‘- another. W hat feature is most pleas1 ing, inspi rin g and coin fort ing to us is : determined la rge ly by onr .present tem ­perament, condition and environment. I f a -believer is having a life lon g strug­g le w ith poverty, it w ill* be a sweet consolation to him to tliink o f an eter­n a l residence' in a country,of plenty, aiid where ho w ill never again have to grapple .with such questions us: “ W hat ehall I cat? What.shall I drink, and .wherewithal shall 1 bo clothed?*’ .
