John bids tw look ft?ain, and we see the
Sreat profession of the redeemed passing:
esiwon a white horse, leads tbe march, ami
all the armies of heaven following on white
horses. Infinite cavalcade parsing, passing;
empire pressing into line, ages following
ftgea. Dispensation trampling on after dis
pensation. Glory in the track of glory. Eu
lOpe, Asia, Africa, North and 8outh
America pressing into line. Islands of the
S3a, shoulder to shoulder. Generations be
fore the floojl following generations after tbe
fleod, and as Jesus rises at the bead of that
great host an4 wares his sword in signal of
victory, all crowns are lit te l, and all ensigns
slung out, and all chimes rung, and all hai.e
lujahs chanted, and some cry: "Glory toGod
most high," and some: "Hoxanna to the ton
of DavidV and some: "Worthy is the Janib
tliat was slain'1 till all exclamations of en
dearment and homage In the vocabulary of
heaveu are exhautud, and there comes up
Burge after surge of "Amen! amen! and.
amen!" "Eye bath not seen it, ear hath
not heard it.'
rkim from the summer waters the brightest
sparkles and you' will get no idea of tb,3 bheen
of the everlasting sea. File up the splendor
of earthly citiHj.nd they would not make a
stepping stone by whic h you might mount to
the city (fUuil, tvery house is a paiace.
.Every step a triumpu. r.very covering ior
the head a coronation. J,very meat is a uaa
quet. Kvery stroke from the tower is a wel
ding tell, r.very uay is a juo.iee, erei j uuut
a rafiture and every moment an ecstasy.
"Eye hail not seen it, ear hath not heard it."
Jreniark further, we can get io idea on
earth or the reunions of heat en. If you have
ever, been across the seas and met a friend,
or even an acquaintance, in some strange
city, you rememb r how your bloo 1 thrilled,
ami how glad you were to see lum. What
will be our joy, after we have tklsso.! the seas
of death, to meet la thj bright city of tha
sun thoio from wfib;n we have long been sep
arated. Attur we have been away from our
friends ten or fifteen y. -a rs, and we come
upon them, we s :e how differently they look.
'1 ho hair has turned, and wrinkled have coma
in their faces, and we say: "How you have
changed! " But oh, whin we stand before the
thron?, all cares gone from the lace, all
nuirks of sorrow disappeared, and feei
iVg : the joy of that ble sed land, inethinks
we will say to each other, with an ex
ultation we cannot now imagine: ' How you
have changed:" In this world we only meet
to part, ltu goodby; good by. Farewells
tloating in the air. We hear it at the rail
car window, and at tho steamboat wharf--goodby.
Children lisp it, and old age an
swers it. Sometimes we say it in a light way
"gopdby:" andsimetimei with anguish in
which the soul breaks down, Goodby! Ah,
that is I h 3 word that ends' the thanksgiving
banrju' t; t'nnt is thi word t hat comes in to
close tha Christmas vhant. Goodby ;. goo Jby.
Hut not so in heaven. Welcomes in the air,
welcomes at t ie gates, welcomes nt the housj
of many inans.ons but, no goodby. That
group is constantly being augmented. "They
are going un trom our circles of earth
to join it- little voices to join the
anthem little hinds to take hold in
the creat home circle little feet to dance in
the eternal glee, little crowns to te cast down
before the 1'oet of Jesus. Our friends are in
two groups-a group this side ef the river
and a group on tha ether s.'d? of the river.
Now there goes one from this to that, and
another from this to that, and soon we will
all l3 gone fo ever. How many of your
loved ones have already entered upon that
blessed place? If I should take paper and
pencil, do you think 1 could pat them all
down Ah, my friends, the waves of Jordan
roar so hoarsely, we cannot hear the joy on the
ether side when that group is augmented, it
is graves here, and eotluis ami hearses here.
A little child's mother had died, and they
comforted her. They said: "Your mother
has gone to heaven don't cry," and the next
day they went to tho graveyard and they
laid the body, of tho mother down into
the ground; ami the little girl- came up
to the, verge of tho grave, and, look
ing down at t lie holy of her mother, said:
"Is this heaven? ' h, we have no idea wdiat
heaven is. It is the s-ravc hero it is dark
ness hen 'nit thcir ;s merrymaking 3'oiuler.
Methinks when a soul arrives some" angel
t ikes it around to show it thg wonders of
that blessed place. Tiie usher angel says to
thu newly arrive 1: "These are the martrrs
that perished at l iedmont; these were torn
To pieces at the Inuitsition; this is the throne
of tho great Jehovah; this is Jesus." "I
am going to seo Jesus," said a dying
boy; am going to see Jesus." The mis-
Pionery said: ion are sure you will see
Him ?" "Oh ! yes; that's what I want to go to
heaven for. "nut, said the missionary.
"suppose Jesus should go away from heaven
what then?' "I should follow Him," said
the dying boy. "But if Jesus went down to
hell what then:" The dying boy thought
for a moment, and then said: "Where Jesus
is'there can be no hell 1"' Oh ! to stand in His
-presence
Bet. my friend, If music on earth Is -
sweet, what will it be in heaven? They all
know the tune there. All the best singers of
all the ages will jjoin it choirs of white
robed children, choirs of patriarchs, choirs of
apostles. Horning ttars clapping their cym
baK Harpers with their harps. Great
anthems of God, roll on! roll on! other em
pires joining the harmony till the thrones
are all full and the nations all saved. An
them shall touch anthem, chorus join chorus,
and all the sweet sounds of eirth and heaven
be poured into tbe ear of Christ. David of
the harp will lie there. Gabriel of tbe trum
pet will be tbera Germany, redeemed, will
pour its deep lass voice into toe song, ana
Africa. will add to the music with her match
less voices.
I wish we could anticipate that song. I
wish in our closing hymn to-day we might
catch an echo that sli from tbe gates. Who
knows that but when the heavenly door opens
to-day to let some soul through there may
come forth the strain of the jubilant voices
until we catch it! Oh, that as the song drops
down from heaven, it might meet half way a
son5 coming up from earth. r- - - . ,
They rise for tbe doxology, all the jnuiti
tnleof the blest! Iet us lis? with them;
and so at this hour the joys of the church on
earth and the joys of tbe church in heaven
will mingle their chalices, and tho dark ap
parel of our morning will seem to whiten
into the Fpotles rairuent of ths skies. Clod
grant through the rich mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ we may all get there.

That wiil be heaven! Oh! to put
our hand in that hand wnicii was wounded
for us on the ci oss to go around amid the
groups of the redeemed, and shake hands
with the prophets, and apo-tles, and martvrs,
aud with our own dear, beloved ones! That
will to the great reunion; we cannot imagine
it now, our. loved outs seem so far away.
When we are in trouble an I lonesome, they
don't seem to come to us. We go on the banks
or the Jordan an 1 call aross to thorn, bu
they don't seem to hear. We s ly: "Is it well
w ith the child i Is it well with the loved ones'"
and we listen to hear if any voice comes back
over tho water. iNone! none! Lnbehef says
"The' are elead, and they are annihilated ;'
but, bless nl tie Col. we have a Bible that
tells us different. .We open it antl we fine
they are neither tlead nor annihilated that
they never were so much alive a? now that
they are only waiting for our coming, and
that we will join them on the other sida of
the river. Oh, glorious reunion! we cannot
f;rasp it now. " Eye hath not seen, nor ear
leard. neither have entered into the heart of
man the things which God hath prepared for
them that love him,,?- Oh, what a place of
explanation it will be! - .
I se everv eiay profound mysteries of
Providence. There is no eiuestion we ask
ofteuer than Why? There are hundreds of
graves iu (ireenwotxl and Iaurel Hill that
need to be explaineL Hospitals for the
blind and lame, asylums for the idiotic an 1
insane, almshouses for the destitute, and a
world of pain and misfortune that demand
more than human solution. Ah! God will
ctoar it all up. In the light that comes from
the throne no dark. mystery can live. Things
now utterly inscmtable wiu be illuminated as
plainly as though the answer were written
on the jasper wall, or sounded in the temple
anthem. Bartimeus will thank God that hi
was blinel; and Lazarus, that he xras covere 1
with sores; and Joseph, that he wat cast in:
the pic; and HanieL that he denned with th
liems; and Paul, that ha was humpbacked;
and David that he was driven from Jerus i
Jem; and that invalid, that for twenty veai
he could not lift his head from the pillow;
and that widow.that she had such hard work
to earn bread for her children. The song
will be all the grander for earths seeping
eves and aching heads, and exhausted hands,
and scourged backs, and martyred agonies.
But we can get no idea of the authem here.
We appreciate the power of secular music,
but do we appreciate the power of sacred
song There is nothing more inspiriting to
me than a whole congregation lifted on
the wave of holy melody. When we
sing some of those dear old psalms and
tunes ther rouse all the memories of the
past. Whv, some of them were cradle songj
in our father s house. They are all sparkling
with the morning dew of a thousand v nm
tian Sabbaths. They were sung by brothers
and sisters gone now by voices that were
aged and broken in the music -voices none
the less sweet because they did tremtd an t
break. When Lhear these old songs sung it
seems as if all the old country meeting homes
joined in the chorus, and city church nnd
sailors' bethel and western cabin, until the
whole continent lifts tha doxology and the
scepters of eternity beat time to the music.
Away. then, with your starveling tunes thst
chill the devotions of the sanctuary ant
The first state dinner given at the White
louse since last May, in honor of Queen
Kapiolani, occurred Thursday evening, the
uests being invited to niet tha Cabinet.
For a formal dinner party the Executive
Mansion is more e'aborately decorated with
plants and flowers than on other occasions,
for the oxcellent reason that tha company,
necessarily being very small by comparison
witn tnac at any reeepuon, mere is muio
pace for fljwers aud plants. The East Room
h id tall plants in the corners and in front
of thi windows, th? Iirg3 caatral window
on the side being a perfect bower of plants
md flowers. I all tropical plants with ian-
shaped leaves arose above a mossy ground
work in which were set choice blossoms. . i ne
mantels and tables teneath the mirrors in
this and each of the parlors and state din-
. a . i . A
ning rooms were oanKei witn nne nower
set in trailing green vines, 111033 and long
grasses, and blooming plants in pots were on
the hearths of every room. Tha mirrors
ever, where were garianaeu wiin smiiax.
Tiie columns in the East Room wenj twined
with smilax, and the United States Shield,
wrought in flowers was affixed to the side of
every column.
The chandeliers were testoonea with smilax
in every room where the banquBt was served
and also in the long corridor, through which
a line vie v was obtained of the lighted con
servatories a; the opposite end from the East
Room.
The hour named for tho dinner was half-
past seven. The President and Mrs, Cleve
land receive 1 their guests in the East Room,
and trreeted them at oncj on their entrance
This is their hospitable custom, the genuine
courtesy of a President from the pwple and
of the people promptihg it.
The Cabinet Ministers were an present . ex
cept the Attorney General, who declines the
i'resid?nt s as well as an otner invitations.
The only absentees amaag the wive of
Cabinet officers were Mrs. Villas, who is still
ill, and M s, Lamar; who has not yet return
ed to the city. Secretary Bayard was accom
paniel by his daught-r, and Secretaries
Fairchild, Endicott aud Whitney each had
his wife with him.
The other guests were general and Mrs.
Sheridan, Admiral Por.er, Senator and Mrs.
Ingalls, the Speaker and Mrs. Carlisle, Sen
ator and Mrs. Heirst, Senator and Mrs.
Hawlev, Mr. aud Mrs. F. R. Condert, of
New Vork, and a few others.
When elinner was announced the President
led the way from the East Room through
the corridor, with the eldest unmarried
daughter of the Secretary of State, and Mrs.
Cleveland followed with Secretary Bayard,
the others following m couples while the
Marine Band played a march.
The central mound of roses and white
hyacinths on the horizontal mirror was low
enough for the guests to sea each other and
converse across the table. At each end the
(lowers were arranged in the outlines of a
pyramid, but not solid so as to obscure the
view acrossthe table. Four silver candelabra
were near the centre of the table, and four
taller ones of giit at the ends.
t At every plate, f-except Mrs. Cleveland's,
were wine glasses jas well as goblets for wa
ter. At hers then? was a glass for water and
one for Apolliuarls water only.
! At each lady's platejwas a large bouquet of
orchids tied with elalTodil yellow satin rib
bon. A carnation and a geranium leaf were
the boutonnieres ot tha gentleman- found at
their elates. :

A Fireman's Axe Causes a 'Break ini
Gas Pipes Beneath the Flexir.
"Gas escaping from defective pipes nearly
causxl the death of several people w ho were
sleeping on the grouud floor of the double
tenement building Nos. 070 and 672 Third
avenue, New York. The first floor in front
ii occupied by Charles Lange as a bakery,
and back of the store slept the employees,
seven in umber.
About 4 o'clock fire broke out in a store
room back of tbe bakehouse, and before the
Harness could le extinguished over V) dam
age was done. The fireman, to make sura
that no slumbering remuants of the blaze
were left behind, flooded the cellar with
water and bored holes in the planking to
allow the water to escape. In doing so one
of the firemen must have run his axe against
a gas pipe and caused an escape of the gas,
wuica gradually increased in volume Sev
eral persons remarked tha presence of tho
odor during the f'ay, but no one paid any
attention to it. When the fireman left the
place John Arnold, of Fire Patrol Company
S'o. 3, was place! in charge until tha insu
rance adjusters wonld have an opportunity
to determine the losses
Arnold was dozing on a chair in the r ar
of the laker shop, heard a sound like the
falling of a body upon the uoor. ne Hur
ried into the sleeping apartments to fin 1
that the whole lck of the building was
strongly impregnated with the escaping gas,
and that one of the sleepers, Simon Schmi it,
bad rolled from his ted to the fl.xwr. It im
me.liatelv struck Arnold that all the sleep?rs
might have been affected by the gas and he
started to arousu them. No one responded
to his cries, so he ran to the street and gave
the alarm. When assistance arrived it was
found tbat all those asleep in the bedroom
were in a state of semiunconscious ess, and
had they remained ni tbat condition much
longer would have died. As it was there was
great difficulty in resuscitating the sleep
ers, when one after another they were
dragged to the street The following were
victims who had such a narrow escape:

l"be miners at nearly all of the Reading
Company's collieries as well as those e u ploy
ed by individual operators have gone out
and 30.000 men and boys are idle in conse
quence. They have challenged the company
to bdtle, and a long and bitter struggle
which oromises wide spread disaster b
fairly begun. The Reading officials directed
400 Of its train hands to return home and not
to repo t for duty until directed to do so.
The sudden and determined stand of the
miners has created consternation through
out tbe coal .regions and indeed all over
Eastern Pennsylvania. The Schuylkill
miners, it is said, are much better prepared
for a strike now than they were i 1$74, and
they say they w ill stay out until Larvest if
the company do s not yield. Many of thj
individual operators made terms with thei r
men. They agreed to pay the 2.58 basis, but
the miners employed by the Reading say
that their interests are identical with thosj
of the mineri employed by individuals, and
all must remain out until the Reading Com
pany comes to terms.
At Ashland, the North Ashland Colliery,
operated t y the Reading Company, has a
few hand at work. The Logan and Cen
tralia Collieries, oper.ted by Riley & Co..
the Morris Ridge, ojierateel by 1 routman A3
Co., and the Bellmore, operated by Biekel &
Co., are working, ms the operators agreed to
pay their employes the addition s per cent
above the $2.50 basis, and an additional 11
pir cent until a settlement with the Reading"
Company is arirved at
It is believed that the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Compmy's men who have been
on a strike for the last five months, will go
back to work at the old wages. An official
of the Lehigh Company said that he believed
the next ten days would show a material
change in the situation so fanjasbis company
Was concerned. These miners, some , K) in
number, at Summit tiill, Lansford and
Nesouehoiiing, have been idle since Septem
ber 15. They are suffering for the neces
saries of life, and it is said tht miny of
them are begging from door to door.
The miners north of Pine Grove, at
Brookside, Lincoln and New Lincoln Cob
leries have obeyed the order to strike, and
the mines are idle. Brookside is the besl
colliery owned by the Reading Company,
shipping from 350 to 400 cars a day Theso
collieries usually sent to tidewater from 800
to 1,000 cars daily during the busy season.
At Shenandoah all Reading collieries shut
down and the 6.040 miners in Jthis vicinity
nre walking the streets attired in their Sun
day clothes. Thev say they have enlisted
for the war. About 1 ,500 carloads of coal
are usually sent from this district whn the
collieries are all in operation. Some of the
best mines are located there. At Shamokin
all collieries are idle except FYanklin Nos.
1 and 2; these are operated by the Reading
Company, but they are likely to be idle.
None of them have a full complement of
men. The Neilson, Excelsior, Hickory
Ridge, Hickory Swamp and Lancaster Col
lieries controliel by individuals, it is said,
have accepted the terms of their employes
end will nay the $2.5S basis.
' It is believed, however, that the Reading
officials will refuse to furnish the cat s to
these and all other collieries, because, it is
said, the men thus employed could keep the
Reading men out and prolo g the strike
indefinitely. At Mahoney City, all Reading
collieries are ide and the st; ike general. At
Lowest Summit all Readi.ig collieries are
idle and the outlook was gloomy. At Mt.
Carmel the men also failed to show up and
everything has come to a standstill. The
same reports were received from alt points
where the Reading collieries are located.
The Reading Railroad Company's trouble
with its railroad hadsi3 practically over on
the main line, but the men in the Schuylkill
regions, especially those employed on the
Shamokin Division are giving tbe officials a
great deal of trouble. Captain has employed
about K00 special police who are to be dis
tributed throughout tbe regions The
officials say they do not want a repitition of
.the troubles of 1874 and will act promptly a
the first attempt at open violence.
