Thirty Minutes in Heaven.

There was silence in heaven about the

space of half an hour.—Rev. viii., 1.

The busiest part in the universe is heaven. It isthe centre from which all goodinlluencesstart; it is the goal at The Bibb-

which all good results arrive. represents it as active with wheels and

wings and orchestras and processions mounted or charioted. But my text des- cribes a space when the wheels ceased to ‘-The V0108 *0 ¢kIiEI".’l"h‘e'riders on the white “rained in their chargers. The

roll and the trumpets to snow} ‘fifd

doxologics were hushed and the proces- sions halted. The hand of arrest was put upon all the splendors. “Stop,heav- en I" cried an Omnipotent voice, and it . stopped.» For thirty minutes everything cclfihl stood still. “There was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour." From all we can learn it is the only time heaven ever stopped. It does not stop as other cities for the ‘night, for there is no night there. It does not stop for s

sweeping freshets. What then, stopped it for thirty seconds? Grotius and Pro-

fessor Stuart think it was at the time of

the destruction of J erusale in. Mr. Lord thinks it was in the year 311, "between the close of the Diocletian persecution and the beginning of the wars by which Constantine gained the throne. But that was all s guess, though a learned and brilliant guess. I do not know when it was and I do not care when it was, but of the fact that such an interregnum of sound took place I am certain. “There was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour.” And first of all we may learn that God and all heaven then honored silence. The , longest and widest dominion that ever ex- isted is that over which Srillnrl was Queen. For an eternity there had not been a sound. World making was a later

day occupation. For unimaginable ages it wasa mute universe. God was the

oulyBcing,and,as there wasnooneto speak to, there was no utterance.’ But one silence had been all broken up into w-vrlds,snd it has becomes noisy universe. Worlds in upheaval, worlds in congelaticn, worlds in conflagration, warldi in revolu- tion. If geologists are right (and I be-

4 lion they are) there has not been a mo-

ment of silence since this world began its travels, and the crsshings audthc split- tings and the uproar and the hubbub are‘ ever in progress. But when among the supcrnals a voice cried, “Rush 2” and for half an hour heaven was still, silence was honored. The full power of silence many of us have yet to learn. We are told that when Christ was arraigned “He answered not a word. T That silence was louder than auythundcr that ever shook the world. Oftrtiinss, when we are assailed and misrepvesanted, the mightiest thing is to say and the mightiest thing to do is to_ do nothing. Those people who sreslways rushing into print to get thsmsolvssset right scecnpflsli nothing but their own chagrin. lg Do right and leave the results with God. Among the grandest lessons thh. world has ever learned are the lessons loll ps- tlence taught by those who endured sn- complainingly personal or domestic or social or politic l injustice. an-gang} than any bitter er mrcsstic or reveugeful’ answer was the patient silence. - 'l‘hs—fs-3 mods Dr. Morrison of Chelsea scscm-i plished .. much by as. silent

time of the destruction of Jerusalem, that

done justice to it in many weeks. fearful besiegement of the two fortresses of .lerusa‘lem—Autonio and Hippicus—- had been going on for a long while, a Roman soldier mounted on the shoulder of another soldier hurled into the window of the Temple, a tirebrand, anl the Tom- ple was all sflame, and after covering many sacrifices to the holiness of God, the building itself became a sacrifice to the rage of man. The hunger of the people in that city during the bcsiegement was so great that as some outlaws weré‘ passing a doorway and inhaled the odors of food, they burst open the door, threatening the mother of the household with death unless she gave them some food, and she look them L-ideynnd sh- -wed them that it was her own child she was cooking for the ghastly repast-. Six hundred priests were des- truyed on Mount Zion because the Tern- ple being gonethere was nothing for them to do. Six thousand people in one cloister were consumed. There were one million one hundred thousand dead, according to Josephus. Grotius thinks that this was the cause of silence in heaven for half an hour. If Mr. Lord was right and this silence in’: during the Diocletian persecu- tions, by which eight hundred and forty- iour thousand Christians suffered death from sword and fire, and banishment andl exposure, why did not heaven listen throughout at least one of those awful years! No! Thirty minute»! The fact is that the celestial progssrnme is so crowded with spectacle that it c to afford only one recess in all eterniv y and that for a short space. While there are great choruses in which all heaven can join, each soul there has a story of Divine mercy peculiar to itself, and it must be a solo. How can heaven get through with all its recitatives, with all its cantatas, with all its grand marches, with all its victories? Eternity is too short to utter all the praise. In my text heaven spared thirty minutes but ‘—t will never again spare one minute. In worship in earthly churches, when there are many to take part, we have to counsel brevity, but how will heavgryget: on rapidly enough Ea let tl39.e:ié’i.undred and forty-four thousand get through each with his own story, and then the one hundred and forty-four billion, and then the one hundred and forty-four trillion’. ‘

Not only are all the triumphs of the past to be commemorated, but all the tri- umphs to come. Not only what we know of God, but what we will know of Him after everlasting study of the Dcific. If my text had said there was silence in Heaven for thirty days, I would not lave been startled at the announcement, but it infimtes thirty minutes.

rat is "half-hour. ' That half- hour menti sued in my textis more widely known than any other periotiin the cal- endar of Heaven. None of the whole hours of Heaven are measured of, none ofthe years, none of the centuries. Of the millions ofsgcs past, and the Inllllulll of ages to come, not one is especially mea- sured of in tlia-Bible. The hs!f~h:...nr of my text is made immortal The only part of Eternity that was ever measured by earthly time-piece was measured by the minute-hand of my text. Oh, the half- hours I They decide everything. I am not asking what you will do with the years or months or days of your life, but what of the half hours. Tell me the history of your half-hours, and I will tell you the story of your whole life on earth and the story of your whole life in Eternity. The right or wrong things you can think in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can say in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can do in thirty min- utes are glorious or baleful, inspiring or despcrate. "The most tremendous things of your life‘ and mine were certain half- hours. The half-hour when in a person- age of a country minister I resolved to become a Christian ‘then and there ;thc half-hour when I decided to become a pratcher of the Gospel ; the half-hour when I first realized that my son was dead ; the half-hour, when I stood upon the top of my house in Oxford street and saw our church burn ; the half-hour in which I entered Jerusalem ; the half-hour in which I ascended Mount Calvary ; the half-hour in which I stood on Mars Hill ; the h ~lf-hour in which the dedicstory prayer of this temple was made and

Well-written advertisements are more than fifty cent news. Assertions can be made and sustained that there are cases on record where there has been more real brain matter expended on the making up of an advertisement than in the construc- tion of many pages which rest under the dignified name, literature.—[South Bead 1nd,) Tribune.

Never fix the price ofanything so low that you can't allbrd to advertise it. Circulars hit only once, if at all, and are then consigned to the waste-basket. Do .'t advertise spasrnudically——keep at it. Your particular line of goods may
