Revelation xxi.,13. The Cashmer gate of Delhi. wh"r con verged a heroism that mak one's nrv" tingle, the Lucknow gate, r-tiil diited and scarred with erioy bombardment, the Made line gate with its emblazonry in t-ronz. th hundre-i gates of Theirs, the wonder of centuries, all go out of sight before the gatf of my text. Our subject speaks of a great metropolis, the exihtnce of which mnny have double J. Ktanding on the wharf and looking off upon the harbor and seeing the merchantman com ing up the bay, tho flag of foreign nations streaming from the topgallant., you immedi ately make up your mind that those vf-si-1 come from foreign ports, and you s-ay: "Tliat is from Hamburg, and that is frm M ir wille;", and that in from Southampton, and that is from Havana." and your supposition is accurate. JJut from the n'ty of which I am now speaking no weath'-r-beiiten merchant men or frigates with '"".irrcd bulkhe.-i 1 have ever come. Thf-re h;H bn a va-t emigra tion into that city, but no emigration from it, so far a our natural vision can dt's-ry. "There is no su-h city," says tho nn P-vout astronomer. ''I have stood in high tow-rs with a mighty tle.s'ope and hav.j swept th" heavens, and I have seen sjts on the sun and caverns in the moon, but no towers have ever risen on my vision, no r ala res, no tem ples, no shining streets, no massive waM. There is no sueh city." Even vry good p-:o-jde tell me that heaven is not a mat-rial or ganism, but a grand spiritual fa'-t. and ihat the Bible descriptions of it are in all cases to betaken figuratively. I bring in replv to this what Christ said, and He ought to know, "I go to prepare" not a theory, not a prin ciple, not a sentiment, but "I go to prepare a place for you." The resurrected bod v im plies this. If my foot is to be reformed" from the dust, it must have something to tread on. If my hand is to be reconstructed, it must have something to handle. If my eye, having gone out in death, is to bo rekindled, 1 must have something to gaze on. Your adverse theory wems to imply that tho resurre.-te I body is to be hung on nothing, or to walk in air. or to float amid the intangibles. You may say if there I hi material organisms then a soul in heaven will be crarnpe 1 and hindered in its enjoyments, but I answer, Did not Adam and Eve havo plenty of room in thu ("Jard-n of Eden? Although only a fnv miles would have described the cireumferenco 0f that place, they had ample room. And do vou not suppose that God. in the immensities, can build a place large enough to give tin whole rac room, even though there be ma terial organisms? Herschel looked into the hcavms. As a Swiss guide puts his Alpine stock between the glaciers and crosses over from crag to crag, so Herschel planted his telescopy be tween the worlds and glided from startostar until he could announce to us that we live in a part of the universe but sparsely strewn with worlds, and he peers out into iminen hity until he finds a region no larger than our solar system in which there are 50,000 worlds moving. And Professor Lang s:iys that l v a philosophic reasoning there must ... s oiin where a world where there is no darkii-vs but everlasting sunshine, so that I do not know but that it is simply I-cmuho h-.v-no telescope powerful enough that we ae not see into the land where there is n darkness at all and catch a glimpse of the burnished pinnacle. As a cHii pior ing army marching on to take city comes at nightfall to the crest of a mountain from which, in the midst of the landscape, they see tho castles they are to capture and rein in their war chargers and halt to take a good look before they pitch their tents for the night, so now, coming as we do on this mountain top of prospect. I command this regiment of (tod to rein in their thoughts and halt, and before they pitch their tents for tho night take one good, long look at th:j gates of the great city. "On the east thre gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates, and on tin; west tlirej gates." In the first (dace, I want to examine tin architecture of those gates. Proprietors of large estates are very apt to have an orna mental gateway. Sometime they spring au arch of masonary, the posts of tho gate flanked with lions in statuary, the bnmz'i gate a representation ((f intertwining foliage, bird haunted, until the hand of architectural genius drops exhausted, all its life frozen into stone. Gates of wood and iron and stone guarded nearly all tho old cities. Moslems have inscribed upon their gateways inscriptions from the Koran of tho Moham medan. There have been a great many flue gateways, but Christ sets His hand to the work and for the upper city swung a gate such as no eye over gazed on. untouched of inspiration. With the nail of His own cross He cut into its wond"rful traceries stories of past sulT'-ring and of gladness to conn. There is no wood or stone or bronze in that gate, but from top to base and from side to side it is all of peai I. Not one piece picked up from Ceylon banks, and another pie,-o from the Persian gulf, aud another from the island of Margaret te. but one solid pearl picked up rrom the beach of everlasting light by heavenly hands and hoisted and swung amid the shouting of angels. The glories of alabaster vaso an 1 porphyry pillar fad" out before this gateway. It puts out the spark of feldspar and dia mond. You know how one little precious tone on your finger will Hash under the gas light. I5ut. oh! the brightness when tho great gate of heaven swings, struck through and dripping with the light of eternal noon day. Julius Casar paid 123,000 crowns for one pearl. The Government of Portugal boasted of having a pearl larger than a pear. Cleopatra and Philip II. dazzled the world's vision with precious stones. But gather all these together and lift them and add to them all the wealth of the pearl fisheries and set them in the panel of one door, and it docs not equal this magnitlcent gateway. An almighty hand hewed this, swung this, polished this. Against this gateway, on the one side, clash all the splendors of earthly beaut-. Against this gate on the other side beat the surges of eternal glorv. Oh. the gate, the gate! It strikes an in finite charm through every one that passes it. One step this side of the gate and we are paupers. One step the other side of the gate .ud we are kings. The pilgrim of earth going through sees in the one huire pearl all his earthly tears ia crystal. Ob. gate of light, gate of pearl, gate of heaven, for our weary souls at last swing open! When shall these eyes thy heaven built walla And jiearly gates" behoid; Thy bulwarks with salvation strong And streets of shining gol I'.1 Oh. heaven is not a dull pln.eo' Heaven is not a contracted pl,w H nven i not a stupid place. "I saw tin twelse gates, aud they were twelve pearls.'' In the second place I ware you to count the number of those gate-. I.nperial parks and lordly manorsaro apt to !irve one expen se gateway, an ! !! rs i:re orvliour, but look around at the.-e entrances to heaven and count them One. two, three.four. live. six. seven, eight, nine. ten. eleven, twelve. Hear It, all the earth and all the heaven-! Twelve gates! I admit this rather hard on sharp sectari anisms! If a Presbyterian is bigoted, he brings his Westminster assembly catechism, and he makes a gateway out of that, and he says to the world, "You go through there oi stay out." If a member of the Reformes? Church is bigoted, he makes a gate out of the Heidelberg catechism, and he says. "You go through there or stay out." If "a Metho dist bigoted, he plants two posts, and he says. "Now. you crowd in between those twe posts or stay out." Or perhaps an Episcopa lian may say: "Hereisa liturgy out of whiet I mean to make a gate. Go through it or stay out. ' or a Baptist may say: "Here i a water gate. "ou go through that, or yon must stay out." and so ia all our churches and in all our denominations there are men who make one gate for themselves and theu demand that the whole world go through it. I abhor this contractedness in religious views. O. small souled man. when did God give you the contract for making gates? I tell you plainly I will not co in that gate. I will go in at any one of the twelve gat- I choose. Hern is a man wlio say.-. "I c-r. more easily and more closely approach Gol through a prayer book." I say. "My brother, then use the prayer book." Here is a man who says. "I bciieve there is only one m'xM of baptism, and that is immersion." Then 1 say, "Let me plunge you." Anyhow. I say. away with the gate of rouh panel andrrdteo posts and rusted latch, when there ar twelve gates and they axe twelve pearls. The fact is that a great many of th churches in this iay are being doctrined t to death. They have been trying to find ou all about God's decrees, and they want to know who are elected to to saved and who are reprobated to be damned, and they art keeping on discussing that "abject when there are millioas of souls who neei to have the truth put straight at them. They sit counting the number of teeth in the jawbone with which Sanxson slew the Philistines. They sit .n the teach and see a vessel going to piecs jn the offing. and instead of getting into a boat and pulling away for tho wreck, they git discuss- ing the different styles of oarlocks. God in- J tended us to know some thintrs and intended ' us not to know others. I have heard scores of s"rmons explanatory of God's decrees, but came away more perplexed than when I sratj m ut dpqsjOA tnopuajsnqj n otuu no.i pjno.w ,:qjnqa jo pni!( 9UO ojuf q.unu-j neijsuq-) qj jj e.trosaj iioa pno.tt "noif At?s .jsq,, 'wops j-iirjo joj jno jnd popuuq a id ma pn puo snojqu;n. jno v nj&op Xb pus insiUBUtfU8 jno j;h jyo jnd oi s.wq ija a iJupSBJ pus Iji.v.s i pan" puw qjnap jo jmu &qj oj u.uop wuio.j eAvq av uqja noAuajipuy "3iuq -j.oijo o i-njoa f.- rfq jj ppuwq jdtne (it j-niu spnuq siq uj vq &q ifniqa 'AjAit dojp pnv pjjuddw AAuaq rq jgo jnd oj R itmua isjij fc-ux t V on.

Y"tt might a well decide that all peo ple shall eat the same kind of food without reference to appetite, or wear the same kind ; of apparel without reference to the shape of ' their body. Your ancestry, your tempera ment, your surroundings will decide whether you go to this or that church aud adopt this ; or that church polity. One church Will best ! get one man to heaven and another church ! another man. I do not care which one of I the gates you go through if you only go through, one oi the twelve gates that Jesus lifted. Well, now I sue all the redeemed of earth coming up toward heaven. Do you think they will all get in? Yes. Gate the first, the Moravians come up; they believed in the Lord Jesus; they pass through. Gate tho second, the Quakers come up: thev have received the inward light; they have trusted in the Lord; they pass through. Gate the third, the Lutherans come up; they had the sarin- grace that made Luther what he was, nnd they pass through. Gate the fourth. the Baptists pass through. Gate the fifth, the I Free Will J'aptists pass through. Gate the j sixth, the Iii-formed Church passes through. Gate the seventh, tho Congregationalists pass through. Gate the eighth, the German Informed Church passes through. Gate the ninth, the Methodists pass through. Gate tho tenth, the Sabbatarians pass through. Gate the eleventh, the Church of the Diseip'espas through. Gatethetwelfth, the Presbyterians pass through. But there are a great part of other denominations who mu-t come in. and great multitudes who con nected themselves with no visible church, but felt the power of godliness in their heart am) showed it in their life. Where is their gate? Will you shut all the remaining host out of the city? No. They may come, in at our gate. Hosts of God. if you cannot g"t admission through any other cntran-e, come in at the twelfth gate. Now th"y mingle before the throne. L king up at the one hundred and forty an 1 four thousand, you cannot tell which gate they came In. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one glassy sea. one doxolog', one triumph, one heaven! "Why, Luther, how did you get in?" "I came through the third gate." "Crammer, how did you get in?" "I came through the eighth gate." "Adoniram J'idson, how did you get through?" "I came through the seventh gate." "Hugh McKatl, the martyr, how did you get through?" "I came through the twelfth gate." Glory to God, twelve gates, but one heaven! In the third place, notice the points of the compass toward which these gates look. They are not on one side, or on two sides, or on three sides, but on four sides. This is no fancy of mine, but a distinct announcement. On the north three gates, on the south three gates, on the east three gates, on the west three gates. What does that mean? Why, it means all nationalities are included, and it does not make any difference from what quarter of the earth a man comes up; if his heart is right, there is a gate open before him. On the north three gates. That means mercy for Lapland and Sioeria and Norway and Sweden. On the south three gates. That means pardon' for Hindostan and Algiers and Ethiopia. On the east three gates. That meaus salvation for China and Japan and Borneo. On the west three gates! That means redemption for America. It does not make any differ ence how dark skinned or how pale faced men may be, they will find a gate right before them. Those plucked bananas under a tropical sun. These shot across Russian snows behind reindeer. From Mex ican plateau, from Roman campania. from Chinese ta!leld. from Holland dyke, from Scotch Highlands they come, they come. Heaven is not a monopoly for a few precious souls. It is not a Windsor castle, built only for royal families. It is not a small town with small population, but John saw it, and he noticed that an angel was measuringit, and he measured it this way, nnd then he meas ured it that way, and whichever way he measured it it was 1500 miles, so that Baby lon, and Tyre and Nineveh and St. Peters burg nnd Canton and Pekin and Taris and London and New York aud all the dead cities of the past and all the living cities of the present added together w.uiid not equal the census of that -jreat meti-;,n.,i-s. Walking along a street, you can. by the contour of the dress or of the face, guess where a man comes from. You say: "That is a Frenchman; that is a Norwegian; that is an American." But the gates that gather in the righteous will bring them in irrespective f nationality. Foreigners sometimes get homesick. Some of the tenderest and most pathetic stori-s have been told of those who left their native clime and longed for it until th"y ,i,.,l. Rut the Swiss, coming to the high residence of heaven, will not long any more for the Alps, standing amid the eternal hills. Tin Russian will not loug any more for the luxuriant harvest field he left now that be hears the hum and the rustle of the harvests of everlasting licht. The royal ones from earth will not long to go back again to the earthly court now that they stand in the palaces of the sun. Those who once lived among the groves of spice and oranges will not Ion;; to return now that they stand under the trees of life that N-ar twelve manner of fruit. While I speak an everlasting throng is pouring through the gates. Tiny are going up from Senecambia, from Patagonia, from Madras, from Hong Kong. "What.' you say. "do you introduce all the heathen into glory?" I tell you the fa -t is that a major ity of the people of those climes die in in fancy, and tin' infants all go straight into everlasting life, and so the vast majority of those who die in China and India, the vast majority who die in Africa, go straight into the skies they die in infancy. One hundred and sixty generations have been born since the world was created, and so I estimate that tlnre mu-t be 15.000.000 children in glory. If at a concert 2000 children sing, your soul is raptured within you. Ob. the transport when 15.000.000 little ones stand up in white lefore the throne of God. their chant drown ing out all the stupendous harmonies of Dus-seld-Tf and Leijic. Pour in through the twelve gates. Oh. ye redeemed, banner lifted, rank after rank, saved battalion after saved battalion, until all the city of God shall h-ar the tramp, tramp! Crowd all the twelve gates. Room yet. Room on the thrones. Room in the mansions. Room on the river bank. Let the trumpet L,f invitation le sounded un til all earth's mountains hear the shrill blast and the glens echo it. Let missionaries tell it in pagoda and colporteurs sound it across the western prairie. Shout it to the Laplan der on his twift sled. Hallo it to the Bedouin careering across the desert. News, news! A glorious - heaven ani twelve gates to get into it! Hear it. O you thin blooded nations of eternal winter on the north three gates! Hear it. O you oronzed inhabitants panting under equatorial heat on the south three gates! But I notice when John saw these gates thev were open wide open. They will n--t always be o. A'ter awhile heaven will have gathered up ail its iuteu b- i population an 1 the children of God will have conn home. F.vry erowu taken. Ev.Ty harp struck. Every throne mounted. AU the glories of the universe harvested in the great g rner. And heaven teing made up. of course the gate will le shut. Rassia in. and the sec ond gat- shut. Italy in, an 1 the third gate hut. Egypt in, and the fourth Kate shut. Spain in, and the fifth gate shut. France in. i! in, and the seventh gate shut. Nor way Id, and the eighth gate shut. Switzerland in, and the ninth gate shot. Hindustan in. and thetenth gateshut. Siberia in. and the eleventh gate shut All these gates are closed but one. Now. let America go in with all the inlands of the sea and all the other nations that have called on God. The captives all freed. The harvests all gathered. The nations all saved. The flashing splendor of this last pearl begins to move on its hinges. Let two mighty angels put their shoulders to the gate and heave it to with silvery clang. It is done! It thun ders! The twelfth gate shut. Once mora I want to show you the gate keepers. There is one angel at each one of those gates. You say that is right. Of course it is. You know that no earthly pal ace or castle or fortress would be safe with out a sentry pacing up and down by night and by day, and if there were no defenses be fore heaven, and the doors set wide open with no one to guard them, all the vicious of earth would go up after awhile, and all the abandoned of hell would be up after awhile, and heaven, iastea l of being a world of light and joy and peace and blessedness, would be a world of darkness and horror. So I am glad to tell you that, whilethese twelve gates stand open to let a great multitude in, there are twelve angels to keep some people out. Robespierre cannot go through there, nor Hil debrand, nor Nero, nor any of the debauched of earth who have not repented of their wickedness. If one of those nefarious men who despised God should come to the gate, one of the keepers would put his hand on his shoulder and push him into outer darkness. There is no place in that land for thieves and liars and whoremongers and defrauders, anrt all those who disgraced their race and fought against their God. If a miser should get in there, he would pull up the golden pavement. If a house burner should get in thre, he would set fire to the mansion, if 8 libertine should get in then, he would whisper his abominations standing on the white coral of the sealieach. Only those who are blood washed and prayer lipjed will get through. Oh, my brother, if you should at last come up to one of the gateo and try to get through, and you had not a pass written by the crushed hand of the Son of God, the gatekeeper would, with one glance, wither you forever. There will be a password at the gate of heaven. Do you know what that password is? Here comes a crowd of souls up to the gate, and they say: "Let me in; let me in. I was very useful on earth. I endowed col leges. I built churches and was famous for my charities, and having done so many won derful things for the world I come up to get my reward." A voice from within says, "I never knew you." Another great crowd comes up, and they try to get through. They say: "We were highly honorable on earth, and the world bowed very lowly before us. We were honored on earth, and now we come to get our honors in heaven." And a voice from within says, "I never knew you." An other crowd advances and says, "We were very moral people on earth, very moral in deed, and we come up to get appropriate re cognition." A voice answers, "I never knew you." After awhile Isee auotherthrong approach the gate, and one seems to be spokesman for all the rest, although their voices ever and anoncry. "Amen, amen!" This one stands at the gate aud says: "Let me in, I was a wanderer from God. I deserve to die. I have come up to this plaie, not because I de serve it, but because 1 have heard that there is a saving power in the blood of Jesus." The gatekeeper says, "That is the password, 'Jesus! Jesus!' " And they go in and sur round the throne, and the cry is, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive blessings and riches and honor and glory and jHJwer, world without end!" I stand here this hour to invite you into any one of the twelve gates. I tell you now that unless your heart is changed by the grace of God you cannot got in. I do no't care where you come from, or who your father was, or who your mother was. or what your brilliant surroundings unless you repent of your sin and take Christ for your divine Saviour you cannot get in. Are you willing, then, this moment, just where you are. to kneel down and cry to the Lord Almighty for His deliverance? You want to get in. do you not? Oh. you have some good friends there. This last year there was some one who went out from your home into that blessed place. They did not have any trouble getting through the gates, did they? No, they knew the blessed password, and. coming up, they said, "Jesus!" and the cry was, "Lift up your heads, ye everlasting gates, and let them come in." Ob. when heaven is all done aud the troops of God shout the. castle taken, how grand it will be if you and I are among them! Blessed are all they who enter in through tho gates into the city. Prodncllon ot Sounds by Insects. "While the notes of insects nre among the loudest, and popularly supposed to proceed from the mouth, they are, in fact, instrumental in other words, nre produced by various musical instruments with which na ture ha3 endowed them, and yet which, to some extent, correspond to tho voice of other animals, the Rounds and calls being answered by others of their kind. When the grasshopper wishes to hail eooae companion or talk to its fellow ovei- t5e fence, it simply rubs its thigh against the fore wings, or plays upon a veritable fiddle. If the leg of the musician be examined under a microscope, a ridge of very fine teeth (the eound producers) will be seen. The loudest players are the locusts, which often make the woods resound with their calls. Sometimes all are playing or chattering at once; agatD, there will be a lull in the conversation then one will begin, the note will be taken up by another, and finally a volume of sound will blend and fill the air. In the former case we had a fiddler, but here the musician is a drummer, as we may ascertain by examining the locust. The base of the anterior wing is transparent, forining a regular drum, with which the males produce their calls; and as there are many different species, so there are many different calls, and some, it is said, have certain calls for night and others for the daytime. The cicada, by using a drum at the base of tho abdomen, produces a re markable sound, sufficient even to frighten off an enemy, yet a big wasp will sometimes carry off a big cicada despite the "zeeing" and drumming of the victim. The notes of the katydid are per haps as familiar as any, and have a certain fascination, the 6onnds taking on various Inflections and meanings. They are produced through the rub bing of the inner surface of the hind legs against the outer surface of the front wings through fiddling, in fact. When the male cricket sins on tbe hearth, it raises its forewmgs and scrapes them against its Bind ones. Even the butterfly makes a eound audible at some distance, certain 6pecies having been heard to produce a clicking sound. Scientific Amer ican. Yalne ol tbe Ouion.
