Hie phen In his dying prayer. Stephen asleep. First, look at Stephen gazing Into heaven. Before you take u leap you want to know where you are going to land. Before you climb a ladder you wunt to know to what point the ladder reaches. And It was right that Stephen, wlihln a few momenta of heaven, should be gazing Into It. We would all do well to be found In the same posture. There Is enough In heaven to keep us gazing, A man of large wealth may hu .< atutuary In the hall, and paintings In the all ting-room, and works of art In all parts of the house, but he has the <•!,:< f pictures in the art gullery, and tl cm hour after hour you walk with catalogue and glua* and ever-increas ing admiration, Well, heaven I* the gallery where God has gathered the chief treasures of his realm. The whole pplverw? Is UU palace. In this lower room where we stop there are many adornments; tessellated floor of gnietbyat, and on the winding cloud stairs are stretched out canvas on which commingle azure, and purple, and saffron, and gold. Uut heaven Is the gallery in which the chief glories are gathered. There are the brightest robes. There are the richest crowns. There are the highest exhilarations. Ht. John says of It: "The kings of the earth shall bring their honor and glory Into It." And 1 see the procession forming, end In the line come all empires, and the stars nprlng up Into an arch for the hosts to march under. They keep step to the sound of earth(|UHke and the pitch of the avalanche from the moult mini, umu luo vm®/ flume of a consuming world, and all heaven turns out with harps and trum pci* and myriad-voiced acclamation of ai.gejlc dominions to welcome them In, aud m> the king* of the earth bring their honor and glory Into It. Do you wonder that good people often atand, like Hie* phen, looking Into heaven? We have many friend* thetr. There la not a man here ao Isolated In life but there la mime one In heaven wllh whom he once shook handa. As a man get* older, the number of hi* celestial acquaintance# very rapidly multiplies. We have not had one r Impae of them aim# the night we fciaaed them good bye, and they went away; but still we stand gating al heaven, Aa when aotna of our friends go across the sea, we stand on the dock, or on the steam-tug, and watch them, aud after awhile the hulk of the veasel disappears, and then there la only a patch of anil on the sky, and soon that is guue, and they are alt out of sight, and yet wo stand looking In the rsvme direction; ao when our friend* go away from ua Into the future world we keep looking down through the Narruwa, aud ••atng and gating aa thuugh ws ea parted that they would come out aud atand on aome cloud, and give ua one glimpse of thetr blissful and iron# ■gored face*.

While these mm direr* were transfixed hy fho scorn of all good men, Hteplicn lives In the ad miration of nil Christendom, Htephen stoned, but Stephen alive. Ho all good men must be pelted, "All who will live godly In Christ Jesus must suffer per secution." It Is no eulogy of a man to say that everybody like* him.
