A Whole Family in Heaven.

THE following eloquent passage is from the pen of the Rev. Albert Barnes:

"A whole family in heaven! Who can picture or describe the everlasting joy? No one absent. No father, nor mother, nor son, nor daughter are away. In the world below they were united in faith, and love, and peace, and joy. In the morning of the resurrection they ascend together. Before the throne of God they bow together in united adoration. On the banks of the River of Life they walk hand in hand; and, as a family, have commenced a career of glory which shall be everlasting. There is hereafter to be no separation in that family. No one is to lie down on a bed of pain. In heaven never is that family to move along in the slow procession, clad in the habiliments of woe, to consign one of its members to the tomb. God grant in his mercy every family may be thus united."
