Heaven, as the eternal home of the divine Man and of all the redeemed members of the human race, must necessarily be thoroughly human in its structure, conditions, and activities. Its joys and its occupations must all be rational, moral, emotional, voluntary, and active. There must be the exercise of all faculties, the gratification of all tastes, the development of all talent capacities, the realization of all ideals. The reason, the intellectual curiosity, the imagination, the aesthetic instincts, the holy affections, the social affinities, the inexhaustible resources of strength and power native to the human soul, must all find in heaven exercise and satisfaction.

too fast & becoming overcooked. Mix graham cracker crumbs with 2 tb of the
sugar & add melted butter. Press evenly on bottom & sides of pan;
refrigerate until ready to use. Cut chocolate into small pieces. Melt in
microwave; combine with rum. Set aside. Beat cream cheese with electric
mixer until ight & fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar, sour cream & vanilla.
Add eggs, one at a time. Mix well. Place bowl over a pan of hot water & mix
until smooth (do not let water touch bottom of bowl). Pour about 1 1/4 cups
of this batter into a separte bowl & set aside. Whisk remaining batter
w/the chocolate, then stir over hot water until smooth. Take springform pan
from refrigerator & fill w/chocolate batter. Gently pour plain batter over
top & make swirls down into the chocolate batter with a fork. Place on
middle rack of oven & bake for 50 minutes. Cool to room temp, remove foil &
rim of pan & refrigerate overnight.
