the graves of his Saints, trains and transforms us into Angels, and gathers us around his throne to pass testimony against his enemies, our persecutors, who would have none of our reproofs, nor the holiness of our Divine Master, and consequently are thus overtaken and overwhelmed in confusion and dismay, consternation and terror; running about to hide themselves from his glorious appearing; when the heavens shall disappear, and the elements melt with fervent heat, the earth, the earth also be burned with fire. And when the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His Glory. For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Arch-angel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, who will say unto us, "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. And so shall we be ever with the Lord because we have overcome, be seated within his throne, while all the wicked at the word of His power will be gathered before us; the graves open, the dead come forth to stand before Christ, the Judge, and the devil with all his legions from hell shall be assembled before the Jehovah-judge and his Saints and Angels, to hear their last doom pronounced upon them. O what an enormous multitude will then be assembled; all the hosts of heaven, Angels and Saints on etherial thrones suspended around the King of Glory, the Judge of the wicked, while the conflagration of the earth will be going on beneath, and the devils and all their co-workers, from Cain to the very last of them in despair, trembling on the brink of fire and brimstone, the earth nearly dissolved; the judge will seal their doom in words of thunder, "Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his Angels." And immediately they will all be cast together into the furnace of fire, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth forever and ever.

Hear also what St. John says, "And I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heavens fled away, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead small and great stand before God; and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the BOOK of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." And thus these awful words of our Lord are made manifest upon them, "They that worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in their foreheads or in their hands, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation, and they shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; and the smoke of their torments ascendeth up forever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name" Yea verily, these things will all come to pass, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it, and the time is near at hand when

The blowing of the last trumpet,
Come to judgment to be judged!
Like thunder through the air abounds,
Amid the commingling of sounds
Of burning things and falling mounts.

The judge comes long way through clusters
Of worlds and planets whose, lustres,
Dim'd by his superior glory,
And his celestial company,
All resplendent in brilliancy.

While the trump continues sounding,
Are changing to immortality
All in the twinkling of an eye,
All the righteous that did not die,
And those from graves does glorify.

The Angels flying all about
To receive us up in the cloud,
"Welcome, welcome with our King go,
To the land where milk and honey flow,
And nothing but sweet pleasures know."

O ye gates swing apart, the most
The King of Glory comes with his host,
Who is the King of Glory? Who?
The God infinite that all foreknew,
Jesus, who worlds to atoms threw.

Let in, ye pearly gates! 'part swing,
The lovely train with Glory's King;
O who is Glory's King, O who?
The Word by whom all things came new,
Lord of Hosts and Holy One too.

And swings the gates and passes through,
The King of Glory with retinue;
Who is the King of Glory? Who?
The Almighty that all things can do,
All praise and blessings him are due.

Glory, honor, dominion and power,
To God our Omnipotent Father,
And our Prince of Peace Almighty;
With the Holy Ghost, O Glory!
Hallelujah!! to the One Three.

Holy !! Holy !!! Holy !!!! Holy !!!!!
Art Thou Glorious;
Hosanna! Hosanna!! Hosan'a!!!
Hallelujah !!! Hallelujah !!!!
Hallelujah!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!
Amen! Amen !! Amen !!! Amen!!!!

Ere the departure of the host,
Surround'ng the Lord of Canaan's coast,
On clouds all around suspended,
More solemn and shrill blasts the trumpet,
Arise! 'rise to be judged, judg'd.

Satan, and from the depths of hell
They come, with hideous looks and tremble,
And from the graves, caverns, and rocks,
And Oceans all, in woeful flocks,
To receive reward for their mocks.

The world, which was all their delight;
Burning falls before Jesus' might;
The King of Glory who was slain
For the world's guilt, is here again,
And will forever, ever reign.

The book of life does not contain,
Of the dejected crowd, a name;
Christ with justice imperative,
And solemn tone, His sentence give,
Ye cannot and ye shall not live.

Depart from me, I ne'er knew ye,
With the devils forever be;
To hell's blackness and darkness doom,
Amid burning sulphur'cus fume,
Solid night and eternal gloom.

Be forever driven to and fro,
With gnashing and weeping and woe,
And excruciating torment,
The frame unceasingly rend,
And smoke perpetually ascend.

DISCOURSE XV.

THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH.

And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, and they were no [Rev. 21st chap. 1st verse. We frequently read in the Old Testament, in the language of Jehovah, that at some future day the heavens and the earth shall be destroyed with a complete, entire, and everlasting destruction, so that not a vestige of the old fabric should remain, wherein and whereupon Satan, the old beast, practiced his abominations; the glorious heavens where he commenced his career of rebellion against the blessed God, creator of the Universe, who called into being the glorious Cherubims and Seraphims, Angels and Arch-angels, all the holy hosts, to attend his Omnipotent, Divine Majesty, in the Courts of his glory; here in heaven, in the holy of holies, in the effulgence of the Most High, King of all worlds, this spirit of the morning began his conjuring among his fellow beings of light to undermine and overthrow if possible, the throne of the eternal; but in this he failed, his subtle inventions and plans were frustrated; although legions of angels had been seduced by his artifice and were now under his control. The eye of Omniscience however, saw through the huge edifice they were erecting, traced it to the centre, and discovered him who laid the foundation of this daring, this monstrous abomination; and the finger of the Almighty pointed him out in derision to his shining hosts, who kept their first estate, adhered to him, and willingly and obediently served their Master in love and holiness; remaining faithful and honorable ambassadors to the King of Glory, who also honored and exalted them in turn, while this foul spirit, this
