glory to GOD FOR TRUTH Amen ! The builder of a temple, who spares no expense, will sometimes bring his pillars from the very ends of the earth. Whenever he hears of a rock with rich enough veins of color in it, and which is, at the same time, capable of taking on the finest finish, which is able to bear all his carving tools, and receive all his intended polish and resplendence — at any cost, he will bring home such stones, and will with them rear a long vista of such pillars, till his temple is a perfect edifice of praise and beauty before all people. And so, the Lord declares, will it be with the heavenly temple! It is not by any means any and every stone that will qualify and take on all that is in the master-builder’s mind. It is not every pillar that will carry all His Father’s name, and all the name of the holy city, and all His new name. And thus it is that wherever the heavenly builder finds such a possible “pillar,” even if it is in the utmost end of the earth, at any price He will choose it for His great design, and will not leave off working on it, till He has set it, in its proper place, in His heavenly temple. And then, when that heavenly temple is at last finished — what a vision of strength, power, beauty, and glory it will be — supported and adorned with a column of dear-bought, far-borne, and magnificently-wrought pillars! And every one of these pillars inscribed with His Father’s name, and His own new name!
