2. _Heaven restores the lost Eden_.

'God is not ashamed to be called their God, _for_ He hath prepared them

a _city_.'

The highest conception we can form of heaven is the reversal of all the

evil of earth, and the completion of its incomplete good: the sinless

purity--the blessed presence of God--the fulfilment of all desires--the

service which is _blessed_, not toil--the changelessness which is

progress, not stagnation.
