S Do Witt Taltnage delivered tbe following sermon on the subject of •‘Heavenly Recognition,” basing it upon the text: I shall go to Him. -It Samuel, xil., 23. There is a very sick child in the abode of David, the king. Disease, which stalks up the dark lane of the poor and puts its smothering hand .'.on lip and nostril of the wan and wasted, also mounts the palace stairs, aud, bending over the pfllow,'blows into the faee of a young prince the frosts of pain and death. Tears are wine to the King ot Terrors. Alas! for David, the king. He can neither sleep nor eat, and lies prostrate on his face, weeping and wailing until the palace rings with the outcry of woe. What are courtly attendants, or victorious armies, or conquered provinces, under such circumstances? What to any parent is all splendid surrounding when his child is sick? Seven days have passed on. There in that great house two eyelids are gently closed, two little hands folded, two little feet quiet, one heart still. The servants come to bear the tidings to the king, but they can not make up their minds to tell him, and they stand at the door, whispering about the matter, and David hears them and he looks up and says to them: ‘Ts the child dead?” "Yes, he is dead.” David rouses himself up, washes himself, puts on new apparel and sits down to food. What power hushed that tempest? What strength was it that lifted up that king whom grief bad dethroned? Ob, it was the thought that he would come again into the possion of that darling child. No gravedigger’s spade could hide him. The wintry blasts of death could not put out the bright light. There would be a forge somewhere that with silver hammer would weld the broken links. In a city where the hoof# of the pale horse never strike the pavement he would clasp bis lost treasure. He wipes away the tears from his eyes, and, he clears the choking grief from his throat, and exclaims: Twill go to him.”Was David right or wrong? If we part on earth will we meet again in the next world? "Well,” says some one, "that seems to be an impossibility. Heaven is so large a place we never could find our kindred there.” doing into seme city, without having appointed a time and place for meetm'£ht around for weeks and for months, ahd perhaps’ for years, und never see each other; aud Heaven is vaster than all earthly cities together, and how are you going to find your departed friend iu that country? It is so vast a realm. John went up on one mountain of inspiration, and he looked oft' upon the multitude, and he said: ‘ Thousands of thousands.” Then he came upon a greater altitude of inspiration and looked off upon it again, and he said, "Ten thousands times ten thousand.” And came on a higher mount es inspiration, and looked off again and lie said: “A hundred and forty and four thousand and thousands of thousands.” And he came on a still greater height of inspiration, and he looked off again, and exclaimed: “A great,muititude that no man can number.” Now I ask, how are you going to find your friends in such a throng as that? is not this idea-vve have beeu entertaining after all a falsity? Is this doctrine of future recognition of friends in Heaven a guess, a myth, a whim, or is it a gigantic foundation upon which the soul pierced of" all ages may build a glorious hope? Intense question! hvery heart in this audience throbs right into it There is in every soul here ttie tomb of at least one dead. Tremendous question 1 ItTmakes tlie lip quiver, and the cheek flush, aud the eulire nature thrill: Shall we. know each other tiiere? I get letters almost every month asking me to discuss this subject I get a letter iu a bold, senolarly hand, on giltedged paper, asking me to discuss this question, and 1 say: ,J Ah! tiiat is a curious man, And he wants a curious question solved.” Hut I get another letter. It is written with a trembling hand, and on what seems to be a torn out leaf of a book, aud there and here is the mark.of a tear; and 1 say: "Oh, that is a broken heart and it wants to be comlorted.” The object of this sermon is to take this theory ontof the reign of surmise and speculation into the reign of positive certainly. —People say: “It would be very pleasant if that doctrine were true. 1 hope it may be true.” Hut I believe that 1 cau bring an accumulation of argument to bear upon this matter which will prove the doctrine of future recognition as plainly as that there is any Heaven at all, and that the kiss ui reunion at the Celestial gate will be as certain as the dying kiss at the door of the sepuiclier. , What does my text imply? “1 shall go to him.” What consolation would it be to David to go to bis child if he would not know him? Would David have been allowed to record this anticipation for the inspection of all age# If it a ere a groatmiess auticipatiou?Wertad in the first hook of the Bible, Abralilfrn UieU and was gathered to bis peoplei'—JaAoh died and was gathered to his people. Moses died and was gathered to lit# people. W hat people? Why, their triends, their com* raoes, their old companions. Ot course it means that. It cau not menu any thing" else, bom tne very beg inn iSp#" of the Bible louf timet that w taken for grim ted. 'I be wuoie New iestaineut fa in afXior over —wfffclt this doctrine Weps like a riant vine .fall of., the purple clusters of Janies, John and He ter followed Christ into

Jke mountain. 4 light falls from nesven on that mountain and lifts it into the celestial. Christ’s garments glow and His face shines like h ° * nn * The door of Heaven swings open. Two spirits come down and alight on the mountain. The disciples look at them and recognize them as Moses and Elisa. Now, if those disciples standing on tho earth could recognize these-two spirits’-vrho had been or years in Heaven, do you tell me “* t w ®> with our heavenly eyesight. Will not be able to recognize those "no have gone out from among us only five, ten, twenty, thirty years ago?

The Bible indicates, over and over again, that the angels know- each other; and then the Bible says that we are to be higher than him angels, aniHf the angels have the power of recogni- . ahall not we,who are to be higher than..-they in the next realm, have as good eyesight and as good capacity? What did Christ mean, in His conversation with Mary and Martha, when He said: "Thy brother shall rise again?” It was as much as to say: “Don't cry. Don’t wear yourself out with this trouble. You will see him again. Thy brother shall rise again.” The Bible describes Heaven as a great home circle. Well, now, that would be a very queer home circle where the members did not know each other. The Bible describes death as sleep. If we know each other before we go to sleep, shall we not know each other after we wake up? Oh, yes. We Will know each other a great deal better then than now; “for now,” says the apostle, "we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. It wiJI be my purified, enthroned and glorified body gazing on your purified, enthroned and glorified body. . Now, I demand, if you believe the Bible, that you take this theory of future recoguition out of the realm of speculation and surmise into the region of positive certainty, and no more keep saving: “I hope it is so: 1 have no idea it is so; I gues-it <s so.” Be able to say, with all the concentrated energy of body, mind and soul: “I know it is sol” Thereare, in addition to these Bible arguments, other reasons, why I accept this theory. In the first place, because the rejection memOvk Can it be possible that we shall forget forever those with whose walk\look, manner we have beeu so long famnjjar? Will death come, and with a sharp, keen blade hew away this facultyof memory? Abraham said to Dives: “Son, remember.” If the exiled and the lost remember, will not the ehthroned remember? You know very well that our joy in any circumstance is augmented by the .companionship of our friends. W can not see a picture with less than four eyes, or hear a song with less than four ears. We want someone besides u& with wfiom to exchange glances and sympathies; and 1 suppose the joy of Heaven is to be augment by the fact that we are to have our friends with us when there rise before u* tiie thrones of the blessed and when there surges up in our ear the jubilate of the saved. Heaven is not a contraction. It is ah expansion. If I know you here, 1 will know you better there. Here I see you with pnly two eyes, but there the soul shall have a million eyes. It will be immortality gazing ou immortality—ransomed spirit in colloquy with ransi inedspirit —victor beside victor. When John Evans, the Scotch minister, was seated iu liis study, his wife came in and said to him: "My dear, do you think we will Ufiow each other in Heaven?” He turned to her and said: "My dear, do you think we will be bigger fools in Heaven than we are here?" Again, I aceept this doctrine of future recoghttion because of the world's expectancy affirms it. In all lands aud ages this theory is received. What form of religion planted it? No form of religion, for it is received under all forms of religion. Then, I argue, * sentiment, a feeling, an anticipation, universally planted, must have been God-implanted, and if God-implanted it is rightfully implanted. Socrates writes: "Who would not part with a great deal to purchase a meeting with Orpheus and Horner? If it be true that this is to be the consequence of death, 1 could even be able to die often.” Again, I adopt this theory because there are features of moral temperament and features of the soul that will distinguish lis forever. How do we know each other in this world? Is it merely by the color of the eye, or the length of the hair, or the facial proportions? Oh, no. It is by the disposition as well; by natural affinity, using tiie word in the very best sense and not in the bad sense; and if in the dust our body should perish and He there forever, and there should'be no resurrection, still the soul has enough featu resand the disposition has enough features to make us distinguishable. I can understand bow in sickness a man will become so delirious thst lie will not know his own friends; but will we be blasted with such insufferable idiocy that, standing beside our best friends for all eternity, we will never gness w bo they are? Again, I think that one reason why we ought to accept this doctrine is because we never in this world have an opportunity to give thanks to those to whom we are spiritually .indebted. The Joy of Heaven, w* are told, is to be inaugurated: by a review of life’s work. These Christian men and women who have been toiling for Christ, have they seen the full result of their work? Oh.no. { k There i* mother before the throne of God. You say her Joy is full. Is it? ybS say there cau be no augmentation bf it. Can not there be? Her son was a wanderer and a vagabond on the earth when thst mother died. He -Broke her old heart. Hhe died leading him in the wilderness of sin.' Mh* is before tbe"throne of God now. Years and that son reprints of his crimes and give* hi* heart to God S6d becomes a osefol Christian, and dim and enters the gates of Heaven. You tell me that that mother’s joy can not be augmen t gd. Let them confront each other, v. •' 1 * I.'

the non and the mother. ‘Oh,” she says to the' angela of God, •‘rejoice with me! The dead ia alive again, and the lost ia found. Hallelujah! lnever expected to see this Tost one come back.” The Bible says nations are to be born in a day. When China comm to God will it not know Dr. Abeelf When India comes will it not know Dr. John Scudder? When the Indians Cdftfe tdfOod Wilt they ndtkflow David Brainerd? I see a soul entering Heaven at last, with covered face at the idea that it has done so little for Christ, and feeling borne down with unworthiness, and it says to itself: "I have no right to be here.” A voice from a throne says: "Oh, you forgot that Sunday-school class you invited to Christ! I was one of Cuvin.” And another voice says: "You forget that poor man to whom you gave a loaf of bread, and told of the Heavenly bread. I .was that man.” And another says: "Yon forget that sick one to whom gave medicine for the body and ths soul. I was that one.” And then Christ, from a throne overtopping all the rest, will say: "Inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these, you did it to Me.” And then the seraphs will take their harps from the side of the tliroue, and cry: "What song shall if be?” And Christ, bending over the harpers, shall say: "It shall be the ‘Harvest Home!’" Oh, have you never sat by such a deathbed? In that hour you bear the departing soul cry: "Hark! look!” You hearkened and you looked. A little child pining away because of the death of its mother, getting weaker and weaker every day, was taken into the room where hung the picture of her mother. She seemed to enjoy looking at it, and then she wan taken away, and after awhile died, and the last moment the wan and wasted little one lifted her hands, while her face lighted up with the glory of the next world, and cried out: "Mtotherl” Do you tell me she did not see her mother? She did._So.iiusiy first settlernent at Belleville a plain man said to me: "What do you think I heard last night? I was iu the room where one of ray neighbors was dying. He was a good man, aud he said lie heard the angels of God singing before the throne. I haven’t much poetry about me, but I listened and I heard them, too.” Said I: "I have no doubt of it.” Why, wo are to be taken up to Heaven at las*by ministering spirits. Who are they to be? S°uls that went hp from Madras, or Antioch, or Jerusalem? Oh, no! our glorified kindred are going to troop around ua - Heaven is not a stately, formal place, as 1 sometimes hear it described, a very frigidity of splendor, whose people stand on cold formalities and gu around with heavy crowns of gold ou their beads. No, that is not my idea of Heaven. My idea of Heaven is more likeAbi*:. Sm,are seated issAbe eyen-ing-tide by the fireplace; your whole family there, or nearly “ all of them there. White you are seated talking and enjoying the evening hour, there is a knock at the door and the door opens, and there comes in a brother that has been long absent. He has been absent, for years you have not seen him, and no sooner do you make up your mind that it is certainly he than you leap up, and the question is who shall give him the first embrace. That is my idea of Ifeaveu— a great home circle whereJbeyurewaiting for us. Oh, will you hot know your mother's voice there? Hlie who always called you by your first name long after others had given you the formal "Mister?” You were never anything but James, or John, or George, or Thomas, or Mary, or Florence, to her. Will you not know your child's voice? She of the bright eye and the ruddy cheek, and the quiet step, who came Iu from play and flung herself Into your lap, a Very shower of mirth und beauty? Why, the picture is graven on your soul. It can not wear out. If that little one should stand on the other side of some heavenly hill and call to you, you would hear her volce above the burst of Heaven's gr eat orchestra. Know itl You could not help but know it O Heaven! sweet Heaven! You do not spell Heaven as you used to spell It, fl-e-a-v-e-u. Heaven. JSut now when you want to spell that word you place side by side the faces of the loved ones who are gone, and iu that irradiation of light and love, and beauty and joy, you spell it out as never before, in songs and balielujaha Ob, yg, whose hearts are'down under the sod‘of the cemetery, cheer up at the thought of this reunion. Oh, bow much you will have to tell them when once you meet them. Oh, how different it ts on earth from the way it is in Heaven when a Christian dies! We say: "Close his eyea” In Heaven they say: “Give him a palm.” ,On earth we say: "Let him down in the ground.” In Heaven they say: "Hoist him on a throne.” On earth it is:' "Farewell. farewell.” In Heaven it is: "Welcome, welcome. * And so I see a Christian soul coming down to the river of death, and he atepcihlo the river, and the water conies up to the ankle, lie says; "Lord Jeans, it this death?" "No,” says Christ, "this is not death.’' And be wsdes still deeper down into the waters until the flood comes to the knee, and he says: “Lord Jesus, tell me, toll me, is this death?” And Christ says: "No, no, this is not death.” And he wades still further down uatil the wave comes to the girdle, and the sag] says: "Lord Jesus,is this death?” "Kd,” says Christ, "this is not” And deeper in wsdes the soul till tiie billow strikes the Up. and tne departing one cries: "Lord Jesus, U this deathr "No,” says Christ, “this is not,” But when Christ had lifted ibis soul os a throne of glory, arid ail the pomp and joy of Heaven came surging to iu feet; then Christ Mid: "This, oh transported soul! this is death!

In thematter of the communication of the Secretary of the Btate Grange of Illinois dated January Ist, 1837, embodying a resolution of that body udopted at Its December men ting, islW, asking the Board of Itsilroad and warehouse Commiastouera to reduce Hie passenger rate from three cents to two cents per mile. The Commission is of the opinion that to do so at this time would be unwise and unwarranted and would.be utiiust to the railroad lutcrest of the state, while some of the great Trunk Linos in Illinois might ho able to stand suoli a reduction, yet the smaller roads and those which do almost wholly a local business, end which are now and have been for the last two years struggling for cxiateuoe, would be most seriously uffecced by It. Buch action on our part would simply Increase tiie heavy burdens under which they are staggering now. It is a well known fact to those who have taken tho trouble to lnvoKtigato tho amnuut ot passenger business done by tho railroads In lUlmrs during the past two years Unit there has been a large decrease in tho number of pssseugers carried. Tills is duo In our Judgment not to Uie amount charged for such service but to the gvmerul depression In- ww of bsl--ness, tiie low prices of form products and the unsettled flnuur Ini conditions which hava hod their effect on the pussenger as wollas tiie freight business And It is alto a fact, as shown by tho sworn reports of tho railroads of II inois, that tho capital Invested In such pro|wrty has not pahl even n fair Interest to Ou st ickhoUor. Tilts question was before us when wo revised tho freight schedule to iHßftmid the whole question wfSk'thoroughly Considered. We did not think then and uoliherdo wo feel now that In justice to both tho public aud tho railroads, bemuse eiu h Should aloud on tho same equality before tho law, this reduction should lie innde at this Unto. If the country was pro|ieious our conclusio a might lm different. Tho statistics lit our office show that for the pnst three years, IKM, Its'JS and H*U, tho averugo amount charged by the railroads |mr passenger mile is a fraction stove two cents, although tho maximum allowed them was throe cents. • For tho reasons sbovo stated we do not feed that this reduction should be made nt this time. Wo pro ulsp ashed to recommend tills reduction to the laiglslaturo. In vioiy of our conclusion wo do not feel that It would bo consistent for us to do so; how ever, the Ixjglslaturo has tho power 11 regain to the maximum rate which can herliarg< <1 for passenger service aud wo leave the matter to their wisdom.
