The Modern Colporteur. ABOUT HEAVEN AND HELL. Where hope dies hell begins.There is no turn-table in eternity. Many people who do not believe in a hell live in one.It would demoralize heaven for the angels to go incompany that some church members consider good. Hell is as near to the palaceas heaven is to the death bed. The most short-sighted peopleare those who cannot see beyondthis life. The windows of heaven arealways shut against the manwho will not work- There is no hope for the manwho thinks he will start forheaven tomorrow. No man has ever yet been ableto climb into heaven on a ladderof his own make. If you had to go to heaven onthe testimony of your dress-maker, could you do it? Blasts From The Rams Horn. 31

•7T; CERTAIN PASHA, dead these thousand years,J-fl Once from his harem fled in sudden tears, J ; And had this sentence on the citys gate Deeply engraved: ONLY GOD 15 GREAT. So those four words, above the citys noiseHung like the accents of an angels voice, And evermore from the high barbicanSaluted each returning caravan. Lost is that citys glory. Every gust Lifts, with crisp leaves, the unknown Pashas dust. And all is ruin—save one wrinkled gate Whereon is written: ONLY GOD IS GREAT. ^j^00§§sm8^ i ■
