"What is all this?" we ask our escort. He answers: “Those were aimshouSts and hospitals. but accuracy in making and prudence in running machinery of all sorts have almost abolished the list of casualties, and so- briety and industry have nearly abolished pauperism. so that those buildings which were once hospitals and almshouses have been turned in- to beautiful homes for the less pros- perous, and it you will look in you will see the poorest table has abundance. and the smallest wardrobe luxury, and the harp, waiting to have its strings thrummed, leaning against the piano, waiting for its keys to be tuurered," And we believe what our escort says, for as we pass on we ttnd health glowing in every cheek and beaming in every eye and springing in every step and articulating in every utterance, and you and I whisper to each other as our es- cort has his attention drawn to some new sunrise upon the morning sky. and we Bay, each to the other: "Who would believe that this is the world we lived in over 100 years ago?

We enter, and I find that the music is in the major key and none of it in the minor. “Gloria. in Excelsis" rising above “Gloria in Excelsis.” Tremolo stop in the organ not so much used as the trumpet stop. More of Ariel than of Naomi. More chants than dlrges. But I say to our twenty-first cen- tury escort; " cannot understand this. Have these worshippers no sor- rows. or have they forgotten their IOI'I'OWI?" Our escort responds: "Sorrows'.

Answer: "By floods of gospel power. You who lived in the nineteenth century never saw a revival of religion to be compared with what occurred in the latter part of the twentieth and the early part of the twenty-tirst century. The prophecy has been rttltilled that 'a nation will be born in a day'--- that its, ten or twenty or forty mil- lion of people converted in 24 hourB. In our church history we read of the great awakening ot 1857. when tive hundred thousand souls were saved. But that was only a. drop ot the coming showers that since then took into the kingdom of God everything between the Atlantic and the Pacitic, between the Pyrenees and the Himalayas." The evils that good People in the nineteenth century Tr ere trying to destroy have been over- come by celestial forces. What hu- man weaponry failed to accomplish has been done by'omnipotent thun- der-bolts. "O spirit of the twenty-first cen- tury, will you not show us some. thing of the commercial life of your time?" He answers, '"N-morroN I will show you all." And on the mor- row he takes us through the great marts ot trade and shows us the bargain makers and the shelvvs on which the goods lay and the Heroes and hogsheads in which they are contained. I notice that the fabrics ere of better quality than anything I ever saw in our nineteenth century, for the factories are more skilful. and the wheels that turn and the looms that clack and the engines that rum- ble are driven by forces that were not a century ago discovered. The prices of the fabrics indicate a reasonable profit, and the tirrntg in the counting room and the clerks at the counter and the draymen at the door- way and the errand boy on his rounds and the messenger who brings the mail and the men who open the store 'm the morning, as well as those who rinse it at night, all look as it they were satis- tied and Well treated. No swallowing up of small houses of merchandise by great houses, no ruinous tmderswiling until those in the same line are bank- rupt and then the prices lifted, no un- rum and then the prices lifted, no un- necessary assignment to defraud cred- itors, no over-drawing of accounts. no abseondings, no sharp practice. no snap Judgments, but the manufacturer right in his dealings with the wholesaler, and the wholesaler with the retailer, and the retailer with the customer. “But what is yonder row. of buildings, majestic tor architecture?" The spirit ot the twenty-tipst century says. "Those are our legislative halls and places of public trust, and if you would like it I will show you the political circles, the modes of pretet'rnent, the styles of election. the character ot public men in this century.” "Thank you," I reply. “I can easily understand how gospell- sation would improve individual life and social life, and commercial lite, but I would like to see what it can do for political life." "Let me tell you," says the spirit of the twenty-tirst century, "tnat l have read about political chi- canery and corruption of more than loo years ago-the nineteenth century, in which you lived here-but the low at night, all loo tied and well t up of small hm great houses, t until those in t rum and then t necessary assfg modes of p election. the in this cen‘tm “I can easily sation woulc and social lit I would like political life.' regiment of war just disbandlng. Glory to God in the highest. and on earth peace. good will to men." Then I look up. and our escort says: "Do you See that large structure on our right? That was a fortress, but now it is a college, and instead of guns aiming out of the pout holes are looking the students of a higher' literature and a wiser science and a grander civilisation than the world ever before imagined. And those students are taught by a. protessorate of men as renowned for piety as for scient-e. Archaeologist’s hammer and geologist's crowbar and c'hemlst'a labor- atory and explorer's Journey have Join- ed in a contirmation of the truth of the holy scriptures until there is not an unbeliever in ail the earth. The astron- omer through his telescope has seen the morning star of. the Redeemer, and the geologist has found the Rock of Ages. and the geometrlclan has demon- strated that heaven is the city which 'lieth four square, and the le-nkth and the breadth and the height of it are equal.' " . "Whax." I say to our escort, "no skep- tics, no intldels, no agnostics?" His reply is: "Absolutely none. The last fool who said in his heart there is no God was buried half a century ago without any liturgical service." "Well," I say to our escort, "where are Tom Pame's Age of Reason and lngersou's Mistakes of Moses and Dav- id Hume’s and Voltaire’s celebrated tirade: against the Bible?” "1 never heard of them," says our escort. "What are you talkmg about? A bigger bon- are you {dikmg about? A bigger bon tity! ot, books than _ihet, which in apes tulle time was kindled in the streets of Bulwaus was lighted in all our cltles and the corrupt literature of the world turned into ashes many, many years ago. I saw the last leat curl up in the tlame and scatter." In response to my question as to what had wrought all this change-- obliterated all the evil and fully In- augurated all the good-our escort, the spirit of the twenty-tirst cen- tury, tells me that gospellsation had directly or indirectly done it. It was a practical gospel that not only changed the heart, but made the man honest. A practical religion which did not expend all its energy in sing- ing, "Fly.abroad, thou mighty gos- pel." but gave something to make it hy. The good work was helped on by tho fact that it became a general habit among millionaires and multi- millionaires to provide churches and schools and institutions of mercy, not to be built after the testators were dead, but built so that they might be present at the laying of the corner stone and at the dedication and leave less inducement for the heirs-at-law to prove in orphans' court that when the testators made their last will and testament they were crazy. The telegraphic wires in the air and the cables under the sea thrill with Christian invitation. Phonographs charged with gospel ser- mons stand in every neighborhood. The 5,000,000,000 ot the world's inhab- itants in that century ore 5,000,000,000 disciples. - -- _ h Td "Bin," I say to our escort, the spirit ical caucus has gone from the ot the earth, and the stuffed ballot and the bribery by money and by use ot ofiice, and the Jobs trot mu legislatures and congresses by may with our escorts WP JOt the heights on which a stand I see a dismount- tnted on the slde of the to examine it, and I read l. cut in letters of bronze: wt gun that was ttred in t or the last war that will t.

When we lived on earth, it was a century that bled with Marengo and Chalons and Lodi Bridge and Lucknow and Salter- ino and Leipsic and Waterloo and San Juan." Our escort replies. "Come with me to this building of white marble and glittering dome." As we pass up and on we are taken into a room where the mightiest and best representatives of all nations are as- sembled to settle international con- troversies. As we enter I hear the presiding officer opening the council of arbitration. reading the second «hapwr of Isaiah: "They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Na- tion shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Questions which in our long past nineteenth century caused quarrel and bloodshed, as when Ger- many and France were deciding about Alsace and Lorraine. as when the United States and Spain were decid- ing about Cuba-such questions in this twenty-tirst century settled in f3.ve minutes, one drop of ink doing more than once could have been ac- complished by a river of blood. But we cannot stay long in this hall of arbitration, tor it is almost time for us to retrace our way hea- venward. This voluntary exile must soon end. And, passing out of this hall of arbitration, we go through a national museum, where we are shown among the curiosities an En- tiold rltic, a howitzer, a Hotchkiss shell, an ambigIance--curiotritles to that age, but, .alast. no curiosity to us ot the nineteenth century. for some of our own kindred went down under their stroke or were carried off the fleld by those wheels. - _7 "But," I say to our escort, the spirit of the twenty-first century, and you and I say to each other, "we must go home now, back again to heaven. We have stayed long enough on this ter- restrial visitation to see that all the best things foretold in the Scriptures and which we read during our earthly resi- dence have come to pass, and all the Davidie. Soiomonic and Paulinian and Johannean prophecies have been ful- f1llod. and that the earth, Instead of being a. ghastly failure, is the, mighti- est sueeess in the universe. A star re- deemed! A planet rescued! A world saved!~ It started with a garden, and it is going to close with a garden. Farewell, spirit ot the twenty-tlrst vrmturyl Thanks for your guidance'. We can stay "tto longer away from the doxologies that never end, in temples never closed, in a day that has no sundown. We must report to the Immortals around the throne the transformations we have Been, the victories of truth on land and Bea, tho hemispheres irradiated, and Christ on the throne ot earth, as he is on the throne of heaven." "In that world we have just visited the deserts are all abloom. and the 'wildernesses are bright with foun- tains. Sin is extirpated. Crime is re- formed. Disease is cured. The race is emancipated. 'The earth is full of the knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea.' 'The redeemed of the Lord have come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads} 'The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth, and the kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our Lord Je- sus Christ! Let the harpers of heaven strike the glad tidings from the strings of their harps, and the trumpeters put them in the mouth " the trumpets, and the orchestras roll them into the grand march of the etcrnities, and all the cathedral towers of the great capl- tal of the universe chime them all over heaven.” But often you and I, who were companions in that expedition from heaven to earth, seated on the, green bank of the river that rolls through the paradise ot God, will talk over the scenes we witnessm} in that parenthesis of heavenly bll s. in that vacation from the skies, in our ter- restrial visitation-we who were early residents in the nineteenth century, eswovted by the spirit of the twenty- iirst century. when we saw what my text describes as "a new' earth. where- in dwelieth righteousness."

Christmas and the Tax it Often lmposes. UNWISE GIVING DISCOURAGED The Christmas campaign has opened early this yen. says the Cthago Chronicle. People evidently have money to Ipend and the shopkeepers are taking active meuuru to have thtyn spend it. _ The br of Chriltmaltide in one of the few sensation- that never grow old. The delight of givang ll perennial --lut 'rver-roettrring proof of the truth that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Yet there in a measure of truth in the declaration of a local clergy- man that much Christmas giving doea more harm than good. It blesses nei- ther him that gives nor him that re- ceives. When giving becomes a mat- ter ot convention or of duty rather than of good will it is degraded to the level of a fashion or of a com- mercial transaction. The gift that in bestowed merely because it in “the proper thing" doesn't warm the POC- kles of the heart. The Christmas box that is exchanged for another-both parties knowing what In expected of them-ia an article of barter. Flu-re is no element of generosity in either tranrcaetion. People become cowardly along about Christmas than. The knowledge that something is expected of them impeln them to become hypocrites. The dread of helm thought “stingy" or “mean" drains many a purse that cannot at- ford it. Emulation likewise ettterte into the matter. The poor relation is determined not to be outdone by his wealthier cousin. The result is that two people make presents-tor which neither of them ca res-and the Christ- mas spirit degenerates into a more exhibition of lgnoble pride on the one side and careless vanity on the other. No gift is worthy whth is not freely and heartily chd. All gift» are unworthy which involve extravaganm upon tho part of the donor. No Demon has the right to rob himself or " family in order to be "rtuntutioutrls gmwmua to others. The man who spends his last, cont, at.

We are Still tar enough from ously close to dishonesty. We. are still tar enough from Christmas to look at the matter squarely. It In right and proper that Chrbttntu, gifts should be he- stowed by those who can afford them. It in especially fitting that relatives should remember one un- other at the Christmas serum. if at no other time. Giving with a tree heart and in accordance with one's means is one ot the worthic-st and most salutary of notions. But giving in mere ostentatiun. vanity or pride-giving as in duty or In:- cnuse it is expected-in the most idle waste of money. it ttu-rs no one, with the miscible exception of she shopkeeper. and it he is the right kind of u shopkeeper he will depre- cate such gifts. If people will be honest with them. selves they will enter into the full enjoyment of the holiday time and there is no better moment than the present to bath. pin-11:10! for thine days, lawn”; “will entirely without fowl. ti Hulk" thin: (-onfesn.
