mother of the Saviour, how she was calied “blessed of all generations ;” shall she not be conscious of this and return the lov ing greeting by her intercession with her Son ? Christ promised that his apos.Jes should jadge the world; do they know nothing at all about itall these centuries they are spending in heaven ? Parents and hus- bands, wives and children, are they totally separated by death ? Then death has plant~« ed a fatal sting and the grave has won ao awful victory.

In Heaven men and women are in a more perfect siate than they were while on earth ; therefcre in amore perfect state of love; shail this be hindered of gratitude, of interest in the beloved and of assistance to them ?

And why not? Is it against God’s right that I shall ask you to pray for «me now? Then why can not I do so after 1 feel sure that you are nearer to God in heaven ?

It you say the eainte cannot hear us, I ask you to prove that. ‘The bunlen of proof is on you, for the presumption is that God wil] not hinder the communion of loving souls with each other. Just how this can be, we need not too anxiously enquire. What is impossible to man is y to God. The saints see God. Won- drous vision! which includes every elemeni of happiness. It includes every loving union between soul and sou!. God knows all, and gives sll knowledge necessary for perfect happiness.

It is easier for me to believe that the saints know even our miserable and pitiable sins, and suffer, if possible, a painful sympathy, than that they are leftin a more painful suspense and helpless ignor- ance of our condition,

Hence St. Paul saysto the Hebrews that they have come to the company of many thousands of angels and ofthe spirits of the just made perfect. St. John in Revel- ations, greets his readers withthe salutation of the seven spirits before the throne of God (Rev. i, 4) He speake of the golden vials “that are the prayers of the saints.” He epeaks of an offering in the form of heavenly incense the prayers of the saints.

Our Lord plainly teaches the doctrine of the guardian angels. “See that you despise not one of these little ones, for I say to you that the angels in heaven always look upon the face of my Father,” (Matt. xviii.) and in behalf of sinners he says: “There is more joy before the angels of God upon one sinner repenting than upon ninety just ones.”

Is an angel greater than an apostle ? or greater thao the loveliest of God’s creat- ures, the mother of Llis own Son ?

Hence iu all ages of the Christian church, angels aad éaints have been with the faithful intheir pilgrimage, comfort- ing them, receiving their prayere and adding their own. Nothing is plainer in the record of the early dnd pioneer church than the doctrine avd practice of the com- munien of saints.

Now, look at the opposiie opinion, It amounts tothir: When ovr beloved friends depart they no long»r know us, feel for us or rejoice with us—least of all bear and pray with us, Although perfecily holy, they ure powerless to hear or help us who so greatly need holiness; their feeling about us isa mere blank. Al- though they mey owe heaven toour pray~ ers and loving ministrations, they cannot help us to escape hell. They are entirely divorced from knowledge of us and com- munion with ue, Between us and our beloved ones there isfixed a great gulf, across which vo voice of affection or sign of love, no plaiat of pity can ever be Lorne

—absolute separation, soul, thoughts, emotions, affections, intercourse. And this is because the body is dead! This

means that corporal death bas triumphed over the soul’s love.

No! No! This is not the truth, but the contrary. We can commune with the blessed dead.

It is thought that the bones are those of a tramp who took shelter in the barn loft for thefnight, and accidentally or otherwise setting fire to the building perish~ ed with it. Itis said that an unknown tramp was seen leaving Summerside in an easterly direction at a Jate dour on the evening before the fire,

Serine Srrance Tuwes.—A phenome~ on was seen in the western sky the other evening. Ii has been variously described as the figure of a maa On horseback with a drawo sword and asa bear in the act of hugging a victim in the shape of a corpu- lentman. Itwasseen by the people of North Sydney and Sydney, amovg whom are persons known to be truthful and total abstainers also. The soldier on horse- back is taken by the superstitious to por- tend war, but he appears rather late on the scene. The bear story however, is really the more ominous. If it has any meaning t foretells the struggle of John Bull with he Russian Bear.—Sydney Recorder.
