W hen tho clouds ahall leave o ur heaveus, And the darkness floe aw ay ;

When tho bosom of onr sorrow, •Shall bo filled w ith joy un to ld ;

Whon our hopes ahall be fruition,And tho pearly gate* unfold.

For b b sum m er from the spring time, Dances fo n h with llllos crow ned;

Or as sunshine a lte r ahowera,K»Us with blessings on tho ground.

Snowy buds o f jo y shall blossom,From tho gloomy coffin-mould:

And their fragments fall around us,Whon the pearly gates unfold.

I f the Jowela wo havo cherished,. F all in ru in s a t our feet—If tho storm-clouda dark and angry,

R ain their bli ter o’er the aw eet;From the tw ilight o f the m orning,

We in wonder shall behold.All tlio gems and flowers treasured, .

W hen the pearly gates unfold.

In the darkest day of sorrow,Ftpm the wettest soil o f ieaw,

Spring tho roses for our comfort,Through tho coming weary years;

S park lin g 'n ea th the Ico*cold c u rre n t, T hat havo ever round na rolled, : '

Gems 11* h idden, and we’ll B2o them , . When tho pearly gates unfold.

W hen tbo atra«U8 or angel music,Liko a song upon tho sea,

Greet the boart* of pilgrim s longing For tho homo tlm t Is to b e ;

W hen tho fluttering robes of loved ones, With a s tar on every fold,

Shlno like suns, wo’U bleas o ur Borrow,- . When tho pearly gatos unfold.

Whon upon tho throno of glory,Jcbub’ kingly form we Boe;

And tho rainbow of His presence,Throws Ita glory o’er th* lea;

Where tho heaven-flowers aro blooming, Ai»d the heart cap no’er gtow o ld ;

With onr trem bling souls wo'il praiso Him, W hen tho pearly gates unfold.

Heaven and Hell.T h e serm ona preached by Dr. Stokes

in St. P a u l’s M . E . C hurch on last Sab­b a th m o rn ing aud. evening, a re rep re ­sen ted , by those who listened to-'them , os. h av ing -bsen p la in , p u n g en t and pow erful iri th e exposition of a lin e of S crip tu ra l t ru th now b u t ra re ly refer­red to in th e m o d ern p u lp it. I t . was, We im ag ine , th e D octor’s la s t’re so rt, to s tir tho slum bering consciences of those, wbOj a fte r two weeks of special p ra y e r and effort, appeared to be still in a Btate o f careless indifference abou t personal salvation.

Two texts were g iv en ; one from P sa lm 9:17, concerning th e final des­tin y o f th e wicked, • and th e o ther, H ob. 12:14, show ing the necessity ol holiness. T h e connec tion betw een two subjects ' so ap p aren tly d iv e rse ,. was show n to be q u ite in tim a te . T h e ra can be no bliss w ith o u t ' holiness. No, peace, w here loyalty to God does siot exist. In order, to happ iness ibero muBt be sim ilarity o f feeling w ith God, and perfect h a rm o n y between tho sou! and H im .

T ho new b irth is a necessity to bring ab o u t this rig h t feeling. T hore m u B t

be a rad ica l change in e o u r n a tu re to .fit ua for heaven, Joseph Cook 'e-as quo ted as eayingg, “ Scholarly U m vers- alis'm adm its, th a t w ithou t sim ila rity o f feeling w ith God, salvation is im pos­sible. U ntil m en love w ha t God loveB, an d liato w hat God hates, th e ro can be no heaven, hero or hofeafte r.”

S i, hell creates itself. I t i s a necess­ity . T he godless m an is n o t th ru s t in to ita d a rk prison Iioubo by his' M ak­er, bu t p u ts h im self in it. Subm ission to th e will o f God brings salvation in to th e soul lik e th e tide? o f ocean, w hich fill every bay, c reek an d crevice. ; Thia is th e co nsum m ation of bliss. Tho sop! and God in harm ony . T h is is holiness.

You say, " God is good, and will not allow m e to Bufior to al! e te rn ity , if I am n o t in h a rm o n y with H im ." B ut, a lth o u g h h e ia good, you. know h e al- towa suffering. See Httle ch ild ren , how th e y suffer. L ook abroad a t tjie m u l: titudcs w ho in a thousand ways, ilhis tra to tho fact. : . e

T hero is a persisten t effort to exp lain away th is fearful doctrine . Y ou h ea r a g rea t deal abou t H enry W ard Beech­er an d h is views. L iston to w ha t lie said a fow y ears a g o :

“ T ho th o u g h t of fu tu re p u n ish m en t, which tho B ible reveals, is enough to m ake an e a rth q u ak e of te r ro r in every m an ’s Bonl. i do n o t accep t th o doc­trin e o f e te rna l p u n ish m en t because I deligh t to i t. ! would cant in doubts i f I could im til I filled u p hell to th e hritn i I would destroy all faith in i t ; b u t th a t w ould do; m e no good.

F u r th e r quo ta tions were given co n ­

firm atory o f tho fact o f hell, nnd the p reach e r proceeded. Do yo u te ll m e again : “ G od is good, and will n o t allow it.” I rep ly : God can ’t h e lp i t if you keep on to th e a ttitu d e o f opposition tp h im ! . W ithout- holiness, no Wise. Sin ia essential m isery . You c a n 't m ake, holiness m isery , no r ato bliss, I speak i t reveren tly—God can ’t do it.

Alt S c r ip tu re ,;science! anil h iim an experience affirm s that he w ho is u nho ly long enough will be u nho ly longer. H e who is filthy long e n ough w ill be filthy still. H a b it tend ing - from God leads inevitably to its own doom in the n a tu re o f things.

HolidayGoodsAT

W a n d m a k e r ’ sOne quarter in the stoct; is pe­culiarly a Holiday quarter, a gift quarter; a place where just a little use is made the vehicle for a great deal of luxury. It is full now; full of wonders; full of pretty things; full of silly things; full of surprises; full of what no­body expects; full of whatevery- body expects; full, as it lias been full near Christmas time before.

Beginning at the very centre of the store, next north are two counters, one of therh very large, and one half as large, filled to overflowing with perfumeries and other toilet articles and im­plements, We positively must not begin to mention names, nor even classes. The only way to get away from these miraculous things is to break away.

Next northwest is a collec­tion of small things that people used to luxury will recognize under the name small leather articles. About the biggest' thing:, there is- a portfolio or writing-case. Pocket-books are tiie commonest. Butsuch pocket- books! "Oh, yes, you can get good substantial pocket-books there, with not a cent of ex­travagance in them; but natu­rally we are thinking of the brighter ones. Leatiier isn’t fine enough, They must enamel it, paint it, deck it out with silk and shining silver and gold. Every year people get worse and worse. Every year they must haye stranger and stran­ger things. Silk, plush, velvet and fur bags are there, with all their pretty,and handy and cun­ning fastenings. But we must hurry on,

.‘Next northwest are writing- papers. , Here’s room for a treatise. We’re not going to stop. / But anybody who passes that white-looking island of trade in the sea of people, with­out finding out what Wanama- ker Best mean?; in or out of Holiday time, is a loser. What a glory has a page of pure paper!

Photograph albums are next on northwest; and here the cir­cle widens. Is all that long row photograph albums? Is it pos­sible mat so many people didn’t buy albums last year, when we brought over a ship-loadalmost? There’s' a new set of people this year, may be. At least the photographers hav'n’t gone out of business. A t this end are velvet frames; yonder are boxes ofleather and plush. You can pay $6o for a box that a touch will spoil. Don’t suppose that the things put out to show, even under glass, are die fine ones. Whisper to the sales­woman that your pocket is.full of money, and that you. are aching to get rid of it.

Brass and bronze! Oh, see the mob of brasses and bronzes. Open your dictionary. The first word you come to has its linage there. Preposterous things! Have your wits about you. An artist has studied out every one. The artist is a wag too; for jokes abound; little touches of humor and broad farces. So there is pathos; and beauty everywhere. But shall we presume to discourse on ten- th.ousa.nd_ things in a shop, each one of which was born of Art?North from centre, ull tho way to the outer olrclo,
