Sabbath — Views of Heaven then Enjoyed – Charles Spurgeon

When a gentleman was inspecting a house in Newcastle, with a view to hiring it as a residence, the landlord took him to the upper window, expatiated on the extensive prospect, and added, ” Vou can see Durham Cathedral from this window on a Sunday I” “Why on a Sunday above any other day f” enquired our friend, with some degree of surprise. The reply was conclusive enough. ” Because on that day there is no smoke from those tall chimneys,” Blessed is the Sabbath to us when the earth-smoke of care and turmoil no longer beclouds our view; then can our souls full often behold the goodly land, and the city of the New Jerusalem.
