  1　Corinthians　13：12。　We　behold　the　image　of　God　reflected；
  as　in　a　mirror；　in　the　works　of　nature　and　in　His　dealings　with　men；　but
  then　we　shall　see　Him　face　to　face；　without　a　dimming　veil　between。　We　shall
  stand　in　His　presence　and　behold　the　glory　of　His　countenance。
  There　the　redeemed　shall　know；　even　as　also　they　are　known。　The　loves　and
  sympathies　which　God　Himself　has　planted　in　the　soul　shall　there　find　truest
  and　sweetest　exercise。　The　pure　communion　with　holy　beings；　the　harmonious
  social　life　with　the　blessed　angels　and　with　the　faithful　ones　of　all　ages
  who　have　washed　their　robes　and　made　them　white　in　the　blood　of　the　Lamb；
  the　sacred　ties　that　bind　together　〃the　whole　family　in　heaven　and　earth〃
  （Ephesians　3：15）these　help　to　constitute　the　happiness　of　the　redeemed。
  There；　immortal　minds　will　contemplate　with　never…failing　delight　the
  wonders　of　creative　power；　the　mysteries　of　redeeming　love。　There　will　be　no
  cruel；　deceiving　foe　to　tempt　to　forgetfulness　of　God。　Every　faculty　will　be
  developed；　every　capacity　increased。　The　acquirement　of　knowledge　will　not
  weary　the　mind　or　exhaust　the　energies。　There　the　grandest　enterprises　may
  be　carried　forward；　the　loftiest　aspirations　reached；　the　highest　ambitions
  realized；　and　still　there　will　arise　new　heights　to　surmount；　new　wonders　to
  admire；　new　truths　to　comprehend；　fresh　objects　to　call　forth　the　powers　of
  mind　and　soul　and　body。
  All　the　treasures　of　the　universe　will　be　open　to　the　study　of　God's
  redeemed。　Unfettered　by　mortality；　they　wing　their　tireless　flight　to　worlds
  afarworlds　that　thrilled　with　sorrow　at　the　spectacle　of　human　woe　and
  rang　with　songs　of　gladness　at　the　tidings　of　a　ransomed　soul。　With
  unutterable　delight　the　children　of　earth　enter　into　the　joy　and　the　wisdom
  of　unfallen　beings。　They　share　the　treasures　of　knowledge　and　understanding
  gained　through　ages　upon　ages　in　contemplation　of　God's　handiwork。　With
  undimmed　vision　they　gaze　upon　the　glory　of　creationsuns　and　stars　and
  systems；　all　in　their　appointed　order　circling　the　throne
  678
  of　Deity。　Upon　all　things；　from　the　least　to　the　greatest；　the　Creator's
  name　is　written；　and　in　all　are　the　riches　of　His　power　displayed。
  And　the　years　of　eternity；　as　they　roll；　will　bring　richer　and　still　more
  glorious　revelations　of　God　and　of　Christ。　As　knowledge　is　progressive；　so
  will　love；　reverence；　and　happiness　increase。　The　more　men　learn　of　God；　the
  greater　will　be　their　admiration　of　His　character。　As　Jesus　opens　before
  them　the　riches　of　redemption　and　the　amazing　achievements　in　the　great
  controversy　with　Satan；　the　hearts　of　the　ransomed　thrill　with　more　fervent
  devotion；　and　with　more　rapturous　joy　they　sweep　the　harps　of　gold；　and　ten
  thousand　times　ten　thousand　and　thousands　of　thousands　of　voices　unite　to
  swell　the　mighty　chorus　of　praise。
  〃And　every　creature　which　is　in　heaven；　and　on　the　earth；　and　under　the
  earth；　and　such　as　are　in　the　sea；　and　all　that　are　in　them；　heard　I　saying；
  Blessing；　and　honor；　and　glory；　and　power；　be　unto　Him　that　sitteth　upon　the
  throne；　and　unto　the　Lamb　for　ever　and　ever。〃　Revelation　5：13。
  The　great　controversy　is　ended。　Sin　and　sinners　are　no　more。　The　entire
  universe　is　clean。　One　pulse　of　harmony　and　gladness　beats　through　the　vast
  creation。　From　Him　who　created　all；　flow　life　and　light　and　gladness；
  throughout　the　realms　of　illimitable　space。　From　the　minutest　atom　to　the
  greatest　world；　all　things；　animate　and　inanimate；　in　their　unshadowed
  beauty　and　perfect　joy；　declare　that　God　is　love。
