n life, and no one bears a
single repellant feature, but rather each spiritual body is beautiful
to the eyes of all the others, and each one breathes the same atmosphere
of purity and converses in the self-same language of love.
A HOME-LIKE PLACE.
No feature of Heaven is more beautiful than its home-like atmosphere.
The soul is not chilled by the two-thousand-mile-cube cities, or by the
long, long stretches of Divine masonry. God is as a real father, and all
his subjects are as our blood-relations. We feel it, and the inspiration
of these truths takes a deep hold of Heaven's vast populace.
EMPLOYMENT.
Now and then large excursion parties visit various points of our own

manifest in the Millennial World.
The most holy affinity exists between the several types of
intelligences. Here the glorious fires of love burn never to reach a
climax. Lovers have been drinking from perennial fountains for a million
years, and their ecstacies are rising still. Pure love is as endless and
infinite as time and space, and its mystery is deep to these shining
throngs of Heaven who look into one another's faces with untrammeled
emotions. Think of falling in love with the inhabitants of other worlds
and of having the capacity and right to foster a thous
