Show SHALL WE KNOW EACH OTHER? - "Shall we know each other there?" The minister of a fashionable church once preached a beautiful sermon on this subject. He drew the picture of a very beautiful heaven. We would walk in sunlit groves, by the music of waterfalls, and gaze out upon Amaranthine fields. And then, too, "We shall know each other there," said the minister, and added, "there'll be no stranger in the new Jerusalem, we'll all be friends." "Beautiful!" said Deacon Quick as he trotted down the aisle. "A lovely sermon!" said Miss Simpkins to the minister, as she put her bony hand in his. She was stopped by a simple minded man, who came up, and seizing the pastor's hand, exclaimed: "Pastor, I'm right glad we shall recognize each other up there. It will be a great change though, for I've been to your church now going on four years, and not a soul has recognized me yet." |
