fought against God is bound, and Christ is sole King of the earth. His
laws go to the ends thereof, and all nations must obey them. The Saints
are building holy places, and working for the living and the dead. No
graves are now made, as the bodies of the Saints do not sleep in the
dust. Thus it will go on until the thousand years are ended. Then Satan
will be loosed for a little season; but his time will be short. Then
comes the last great scene. The Lord will finish His work. In the clouds
of heaven, with power and great glory, He will be seen with all His
angels. The mortal Saints yet on the earth will be instantly changed and

must, and be resurrected in perfection and glory, to be a fit abode,
eternally, for celestial beings. All things will become new; all things

what Father promised us in our first estate, that if we were faithful,
we should be added upon, and still added upon. Do you remember it?"

"Distinctly," he answered. "It was to be 'glory added upon our heads for
ever and ever.' Father is fulfilling his promise."

Then they sat still, not being able to speak their thoughts, but looked
out towards the cloud-encircled towers of the city.

Alice came running in. "The people are coming," she said.

They looked out of the window and saw two persons approach, viewing the
grounds with interest.

"It is Henrik and Marie," exclaimed Signe. The newcomers were greeted
rapturously.

"Come in and see the results of my husband's planning," said Signe.

The visitors were led through the house, and shown the gardens
surrounding it. As they had been separated for a time from their friends
they had many things to tell each other.

"Do you
