HEAVEN A PLACE.

By Charles H. Parkhurst

A WORLD that is simply a spirit world is not a world that we can either think about with any safety, or that we are qualified to have any particular interest in. There is no warrant in Scripture for thinking that the more unlike this world you imagine a thing to be, the more heavenly it is. Heaven is undoubtedly a locality. The first paradise, which was certainly an exceedingly commendable paradise, was a locality, and there has been, in the meantime, no such change in the constitution of our nature as to indicate that a paradise that is not local would be any improvement upon the original.—Charles H. Parkhurst.
