Heaven
A New Zealand chief who visited England a few years ago was remarkable for the deep spirituality of his mind ad his constant delight in the Word of God. One day he was taken to see a beautiful mansion near London. The gentleman who took him expected to see him greatly astonished; however, it did not seem to excite him in the least. Wondering how this could be, he began to point out the building’s beauty and grandeur. After a while, the chief looked around and said, “Ah, my Father’s house is finer than this.” The other man could not imagine what he meant, for he knew that the chief’s father lived in a mud cottage. The chief went on to speak in his own expressive, touching strain of the house above, the eternal home of his Redeemer which was full of beautiful mansions.
