Hut the lilt 1 1 of the cities is emplicd into il, and the banks are torn, and unhealthy exhalations spring up from il, and we fail to get au idea of the river of life in heaven. Wc get very impel feet ideas of the reunions of heaven. We think of some festal day on earth when father and mother were yet living and the children came home. A good time thai! But it bad this drawback all were, not there. That brother went off to sea and never was heard from That sister did we nut lay her away in the freshness of her young life, never more in this world lo look upon her? All, there was a skeleton at the feast, and tears mingled with our laughter on that Christmas day. Not so with heaven's reunions. It will he an un- iuteiruptcd gladness.
