soever will may come and drink freely, and fruitful trees of life everlasting whose leaves will heal the repentant peoples of earth of all imperfections.

Ah yes! "In that day the Lord shall be King over all the earth;" his Kingdom shall have come as his faithful have long prayed; and by the end of that day his will shall be done on earth even as it is done in heaven. God's footstool shall then be glorious indeed: as it is written :

"AS TRULY AS I LIVE, THE WHOLE EARTH SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE GLORY OF JEHOVAH."-Num. 14:21; Isa. 11:9; Habak. 2:14.

"No place shall be in that new earth
For all that blights this universe;

No evil taint the second birth-
There shall be no more curse.
Ye broken-hearted, cease your moan;
The day of promise dawns for you;

For he who sits upon the throne

Says, 'I will make all things new.'

"We mourn the dead, but they shall wake!
The lost, but they shail be restored!
O! well our human hearts might break
Without that sacred word!

Dim eyes, look up! sad hearts, rejoice!
Seeing God's bow of promise through,

At sound of that prophetic voice:

'I will make all things new.'”
