In the followinq discourse, pre
pared by Dr. Tulinupe before bis ill
ness, a vi\id qlimpse of the splendors
und plories of heavenly life is pre
sented; text. Revelation \iii., 1:
” I here was silence in Heaven about
the space of half an hour.”
’1 he busiest place in the universe is
Heaven. It is the center from which
all pood influences start; it is the
poal at which all pood results arrive.
The itiblc represents it as active with
wheels and winps and orchestras and
processions mounted or charioted.
Rut my text describes n space when
the wheels ceased to roll and the
trumpets to sound and the voices to
chant. The riders on the white
horses reined in their elinrpes. The
doxolopics were hushed and proces
sions halted. The hand of arrest was
upon ail the splendors. “Stop, Heav
en!' cried an omnipotent voice, and
it stopped. For JO minutes everythinq
celestial stood still. “There was si
lence in Heaven about the space of
half an hour.”
From all we can learn it is the only
time Heaven ever stopped. It does
not stop as other cities for the niqht,
for there is no niqht there. It does
not stop for ii plaque, for the inhabi
tant never says: “I am sick.” It
docs not stop f«>r bankruptcies, for
its inhabitants never fail. It does not
stop for impassable streets, for there
are no fullinp snows or sweepinq
freshets. What, then, stopped it for
30 minutes? tlrotiiis and Prof. Stuart
think it was at the time of the de
struction of Jerusalem. Mr. Lord
thinks it was in the year 311, be
tween tin* close of the Diocletian per
secution and the beqinninq of the
wars by which Constantine qained
the throne. Hut that was all a quess.
thouqh a learned und brilliant quess.
I do not know when it was, and i do
not care when it was, but of the fact
that such an interreqnuin of sound
took place I am certain. “There was
silence in Heaven about the spree of
half an hour.”
omi, nrsT ot all. wo lenrn that (iod
nu<l all Heaven then honored silence,
i he longest and widest dominion
tlmt ever existed is that over which
stillness was fpicen. For an eternity
there had not been a sound. World
making was a later day occupation.
For unimaginable ages it was a mute
universe, (iod was tin* only Meing.
nnd as there was no one to speak to
there was no utterance. Rut that si
lence has all been broken up into
worlds, and it has become a noisy uni
verse. Worlds in upheaval, worlds in
•ongelation. worlds in conflagration,
worlds in revolution.
If geologists are right—and 1 be
lieve they iire there has not been a
moment *• f silence since this world
began its travels, and tin* crushing
vnd the splitting and the uproar and
■ he hubbub are ever in progress. Rut
when among the supernals a voire
Vied: “Hush! ’ and for half an hour
Heaven was still, silence was hon
ored. I he full power of silence many
nt us have vet to learn. We are told
hat when Christ was nrrnigned “He
answered not a word.” That silence
was louder than any 1 bonder that
?ver shook the world. Oftentimes
>v hen vve nre assailed and misrepre
sented the mightiest thing to say is
-o s».v nothing and the mightiest
thing to do is to do nothing. Those
neople who are always rushing into
print to get themselves set right nc
v.inplish nothing but their own rhn
rrin. Silence! Do right nnd leave
‘he results with God.
Learn also from my text that
Heaven must be an eventful nnd nc
ive place from the fact that it could
ifTord only ,'to minutes ,,{ recess.
There have been events on earth and
n Heaven that seemed to demand a
whole day or whole week or whole
fPHr for celestial consideration. If
Irotius was right and this silence
occurred at the time of the destrue
;ion of Jerusalem, that scene was so
iwftil nnd so prolonged that the jn
inbitants of Heaven could not hove
Jone justice to it in many weeks.
\fter fearful be^jegeinent of the two
fortresses .,f Jerusalem. Antonin and
Hippietis, had been going on for a
°f^g while, a Itoiuaii soldier, mount
ed on the shoulder of another I
ber, hurled into the window of the
tern pie a firebrand, and tin- temple
ivn** all a fin me. ami after cove i Jug
:nar»> sacrifices to the holiness ,,f
>od the building it elf became a > ae
rifb e to the rage »,f man. The him
ger of the people in that city ♦lur
ing the besiegeuient was so great
that as some outlaws were passing
n doorway and inhaled the odors of
fond they hurst open the door,
threatening the mother of the house
hold with death unless site gave them
^onie food, nnd she took them aside
and showed them that it was her
own rhild she wn<- cooking for the
ghastly repast. Six hundred priests
were destroyed on Mount Zion be
cause, the temple being gone, there
was nothing for them to do. Six
thousand people in one cloister were
consumed. There were 1.100,000 dead
according to Josephus. (Irotius
thinks that this was the cause of
silence in Heaven for half an hour.
If Mr. Lord was right, and this
silence was during the Diocletian per
secutions, by which *14,000 Christians
suffered death from sword and fire
and banishment and exposure, w by
did not Jleaven listen throughout at I
J
least one of those awful years? No!
Thirty minutes! The fact is that the
C'elestiul programme is so crowded
with spectacle that it can afford only
one recess in all eternity, ami that
for a short space While there are
great choruses in which ail Heaven
can join, each soul there has a story
of Divine mercy peculiar to itself,
and it must he a solo. How can
Heaven get through with all its reci
tatives, with all its cantatas, with
all its grand marches, with all its
victories? Kternity is too short to
utter all the praise.
I n my text Heaven spared 30 min
utes, but it will never again spare
one minute. In worship in earthly
churches where there are many to
take part we have to counsel brev
ity, but how will Heaven get on rap
idly enough to let 144,000 get through
each with his own story and then
144.000,000 and then 144,000,000,000 and !
then 144.000.000.000,000? Not only are '
all the triumphs of the past to lie
commemorated, but all the triumphs
to come. Not only what we now
. know «<f (bid. hut what we will know ,
• *f Him after everlasting study of the
deifie. If my text had said there
was silence in Heaven for 30 days. I
would not have been startled at ihe
announcement, but it indicates 30
minutes. Why, there will be so many
friends to hunt up, so many of the
greatly good and useful that we will
want to see, so many of the inscru
table things of earth we will need
explained, so many exciting earthly
experiences we will want to talk
over, and all the earthly spirits and
all the other spirits and all the ages i
: xv'i 11 want the snide, that there will
j he no more opportunity for cessn- |
(ion. llow busy we will be kept in
having pointed out to us the heroes
and heroines that the world never
fully appreciated the yellow fever |
and cholera doctors who died, not 1
flying from their posts; flu* female 1
! nurses who faced pestilence in Ihe
j lazarettos; the railroad engineers
; who stayed at their places in order
i to save the train, though they them
selves perished. Hubert flofiin, the
master miner, who, landing from the
bracket at the bottom of the mine
just as he heard the waters rush in
and when one jerk of the rope would
have lifted him into safety, put in
the bucket a blind miner who wanted
to go to his sick child and jerked the
rope for him to lie pulled up, crying;
“Tell them tin* water has hurst in
and we are probably lost, but we will
seek refuge at the other end of the
right gallery,” and then giving the
command to the other miners till
incy tugged incmseives so near out
that tin* j.pie from tin* outside
could come t«» their rescue. The mul
titudes of men and women who got
no crown tin earth we will want to
see when they get their crown in
Heaven. I tell you Heaven will have
no more half hours to spare.

more of a place than it was when
. that recess of 30 minutes occurred.
Its population lias quadrupled, st*\- '
tupled. centupled. Heaven lias more
on hand, more of rapture, more »>T
knowledge, more of intercommunica
tion. more of worship. The most
, thrilling place we have ever been in
is stupid compared with that. and. if
| we now have no Mine to spare, we
I will then have no eternity to spare.
; Silence in Heaven ouly half tin hour!
My subject also impresses me with
I the immortality of a half hour. That
i half hour mentioned in my text is more
j widely know n than any other period in
1 the calendar of Heaven. None of the
whole hours of Heaven is measured
off. none of the years, none of the cen
turies. Of tlie millions of ages past
and the millions of ages to come not
1 one is especially measured off in the
Jtible. Hut the half hour of mv text is '
made immortal. The only part ofeter- I
nity that was ever measured by earth- '
l.v timepiece was measured by the min
ute hand of my text. Oh, the half
hours! I hey decide everything. ! am
riot asking what you will do with the j
; years or months or days of your life,
! but what of the half hours? Tell me
the history of your half hours and I
will tell you the story of your whole
! life on earth and the story of your
whole life in eternity. The right or
wrong things you can think in 30 min
; ut* s. the right or wr*>ng things you
car. wtv in 30 minutes, the right or
j wrong things you do in 30 minutes are
I glorious or baleful, inspiring or des
! perate.
\gnin, m\ t*«*rf suggests a wav of
111 * I \ ing Heaven '■<> that we can better !
understand it. The word "eternity"
that we can handle much is an iui- I
measurable world. Knowing that we
' could ret understand that word, the i
I’.ilde use- it only once. We say “for- 1
j ever .in*l <-\er." Hut how long is "for
• ever in*l ever?" I am glad that tn\
: text puts under *>ur eye Ilcnvcn for
j .0 minutes. \s when you seen great :
i picture, you put a sheet of paper
J into a scroll and look through it **r join
volt! forefinger to your thumb and look j
; through 11 »• circle between, and the
| picture becomes more intense. «*> this 1
; masterpiece of Heaven by St. John is !
more impressive when we take only
■ 30 minutes of it nt a time. \<*w. we l
have something that we can come j
I nearer t«* grasping, and it is a quiet '
Heaven. When we discourse about the i
multitudes of Heaven, it must be al- i
most a nervous shock to those who
have all their live* Irccn crowded by
many people and who want a quiet
Heaven. K*»r the pnst 30 years f have
been much of the time in crowds and
under public scrutiny and amid excite- )
ments, and I have sometimes thought
1 f«>r a few weeks after I reach Heaven
f would like to go do An in some quiet
part of the realm, with a few friends,
and Xur a little while try comparative
\
solitude. Then there are those whose
hearing Is so delicate that they get no
satisfaction when you describe the
crash of the eternal orchestra, aAl
they feel like saying, as a good woman
in Hudson, N. Y., said after hearing me
speak of the mighty chorus of Heaven:
“Ihat must be u great Heaven, but
what will become of my poor head?”
\es, this lialT hour of my text is a still
experience. “There was silence in
Heaven for half an hour.”
You will find the inhabitants all at
home. Knter the King’s palace and
take only a glimpse, for we have only
30 minutes for all Heaven. “Is that
Jesus?” “Yes.” Just under the hair
along His forehead is the mark of a
wound made by a bunch of twisted
brambles, and His foot on the throne
has on the round ofllisinstepanother
mark of a wound made by a spike, and
a scar on the palm of the right hand
and a scar on the palm of the left
hand. Rut what a countenance! What
a smile! What n grandeur! What n
loveliness! What an overwhelming
look of kindness anil grace! Why, He
looks as if !!»• had redeemed a world!
Hut come on. for our tfme is short. Do
you see that row of palaces? That Is
the Apostolic row. Do you see that
long reach of architectural glories?
Ihat is Martyr row. Do you see that
immense structure? That is the big
ghouse in Heaven; that is “the
house of many mansions.” Do you
see that wall? Shade your eves against
it'' burning splendor, for that is the
wall of Heaven, jasper at the bottom
ard amethyst at the top. See this river
rolling through the heart of the
great metropolis? That is the river
concerning which those who once lived
on the banks of the Hudson or the Ala
bama or the Rhine or the Shannon
say; “We never saw the like of this
for clarity and sheen.” That is the
chief river of Heaven—so bright, r.o
wide, so deep. But you ask: “Where
are the asylums for the old?” I an
swer: “The inhabitants are all young.”
“Where are the hospitals for the
lame?.rhey are all agile.” “Where
are the infirmaries for the blind and
deaf?” “They all see and hear.”
"Where are the almshouses for the
poor?’ "They are all multimillion
aires.” “Where arc the inebriate asy
lums?" “Why, there are no saloons.”
“Where arc the graveyards?” “Why,
they never die.” T’ass down those
boulevards of gold and amber and
sapphire and see those interminable
streets built by the Architect of the
I nivc*rse into homes, over the thresh
old of which sorrow never steps ami
out of whose w indow s faces, once pale
with earthly sickness, now look rubi
cum] with immortal health.
*'Oh. let me go in and see them!” vott
say. No. you cannot go in. There are
those who would ne\er consent to let
you come out again. You say: “Let me
stay here in this place where they
never sin. where they never suffer,
where they never part.” No.no! Our
lime is short, our 30 minutes arc al
most gone. Conte on! We must get
hack to earth before this half hour of
heavenly silence breaks up, for in votir
mortal state you cannot endure the
pomp ami splendor and resonance
when this half hour of silence is ended.
The day will come when you ear. see
Heaven in full blast, but not now. f
am now • nly showing you Heaven at
the dullest half hour <>f all the eterni
ties. Come on! There is something
in the celestial appearance which
makes me think that the half hour of
silence will soon be over. Yonder are
the white horses being hitched to
chariots, and yonder are seraphs fin
gering harps as if about to strike tli cm
into symphony, and yonder are con
querors taking down from the blue
halls of Heaven the trumpets of vic
tory. Remember we are mortal vet
and cannot endure the full roll of
heavenly harmonies and cannot endure
even the silent Heaven for more than
half an hour. Hark! The clock in the
tower of Heaven begins to strike, and
the half hour is ended. Descend! Come
back! Come down till your work is
done. Shoulder a little longer your
burdens. Fight a little longer vour
battles. Weep a little longer your
griefs. And then take Heaven not in
it* dullest half hour, but in its might
iest pomp, and, instead of taking it for
30 minutes, take it world without end.
Hut how will you spend the first half
hour of your heavenly eitizenship after
you have gone in to stay? After your
prostration before the tlirone in wor
ship of Him who made it possible for
you to get there at all ! think the rest
of your first half hour in Heaven will
be passed in receiving your reward if
yon have been faithful. I have a
strangely beautiful book containing
the pictures of the medals struck by
the F.ngllsh government in honor of
great bn 11 !< ■ s. 'I hose tried a Is are pi ntied
over the heart of the relumed heroes
of the army on gnat occasions, the
royal family present and the royal
bands playing the Crimean medal,
the medal of tlie mutiny, tlie Yictorin
cross, t lie Waterloo medal. In your
first half hour in Heaven in some wav
vi u will be honored for the earthly
struggles in which you won the day.
Stand up before all the royal house of
Heaven and receive the insignia while

THE LESSON TEXT.
(Acts 9:32-43.)
32. And It came to pass, as Peter passed
through)mt all quarters, he caine down
also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33. And there lie found a certain man
named Aeneas, which had kept his bed
eight years, and was sick or the palsy.
34. And l'eter said unto him: Aeneas,
Jesus Christ muketb thee whole; arise,
and make thy bed. And he arose im
mediately.
33. And all that dwelt at Lydda and
Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36. And there was at Joppa a certain
disciple rici.mi‘d T.tbilhu. which by inter
pretittion is called Lorcas, tills woman
w.i- full ol good works and almsdceds
which she did.
37. A till it came to pass in those days,
that site was Hick, and died, whom when
they had washed, they laid her in an up
per chamber.
•*>*• And forasmuch as Lvdda was nigh
to Joppa, and the disciple*- hud heard
that l'eter was there, they sent unto
•
not delay to tome to them.
39 Then Peter arose and went with
them When lie was come, they brought
him into the upper chainbi r; and all
tile widows stood by hint .weeping. and
shewing the eouts and garments which
Lorcas made, while she was with them.
(o Hut l’eter put them all forth, and
kneeled down, and prayid; and turn ng
rum t<> the body said: Tabltha. arise.
A nd she opened her eyes; and when she
saw l'eter. she sat up

this head we will notice briefly: (I)
that the churches had a brief respite
from persecution: (2) that they (the
membership) were being edified; (3)
that they walked in the fear of the
I.onl; (4) that they walked in the eom
fort of the Holy (iliost, and (.*>) that
they were multiplied. Persecution:
can't hurt the church of Christ.
Ibis is t lie unanimous voice <>f
history. In fact, it has always
helped Ihe church. bv weeding
out the faint-hearted and those
>vho are not entirely loyal and
leaving tin* true disciples to give to
ot her st l ong men a notable object les
son in courage and loyalty to truth.
Ibil the t i me of pi* rseen t ion is not tin*
time of greatest growth in the
church for the reason that the
persecuted have not the same
opportunity for open preaching, nor
indeed the time for it. as in times of
pence. I hi- first period of pence for
the early church probably lasted four
«»r five year-. During this period the
ehure'u grew in knowledge and grace
“were edified.” To “edif\” is literally
to build. Ih ns the church u as “built”
tip. not so much in the ma11cr of si/e
or number of members, but built up
in the \irtues and graces that go to
make up Christian character. This
wa- done thn ugh t he preach ing of t he
upo-tles who told them of the life,
death and resurrect ion of .lesus. The
church grew also in the fear of tin*
T.ord. This “fear” is not the “painfill
emotion excited by a pprehension of
danger. < r apprehem ion of bod’s

Jesus had said (John 14:10, 17): “f
will pray the Father, and lie* shall give
you another ( omforter, that He may
abide with you forever; even the spir

tian man has the advantage of the
man who i- not a Christian hut is try
ing to live an upright life. The Chris
tian possesses, or rather is possessed
by. that inward Spirit of bod. aptly
named by Jesus “the Comforter.” It
