THE SAINTS IN HEAVEN.
You have seen in the morning, the earth covered with the drops of dew; each sparkling in the sun's pure light, and like so many diamonds throwing back to each other, and to every eye, the brilliant hues of the rainbow! Such in heaven, shall be the company of the saints; each indeed small in himself, but all, like so many polished gems, sparkling with celestial brightness, and reflecting to each other, and to all around, the glories of the Sun of Righteousness!
T. Edwards.
