The REsURREcrroN OF JESUS CKr

From M Sermons Of the /" Scotch Preacher"
TWICE had the sun gone down upon the
earth, and all was yet quiet at the scpulchrc ;
death held his sccptrc over tho Son Of God 1;
still and silent the hours passed on; tho guards
stood by their post, the rays of the midnight
moon CLEANED on their helmets, and on their
spears the enemies of Christ exutcd in thsir
success; the hearts Of his friends wcsc sunk
in despondency and in sorrow the spifits of
glory waited in anxious suspence 10 behold
lhe event, and wonder at the depth OF the
ways OF God. Al length tho morning star
arising in tho east annouAced tho approach
of light; the third day began to dawn upon
the world, WHOM on q sudden the earth trcm-
blcd to its centre, and the powers of heaven
were shaken an angel Of God descended d, the
guards shronk back from the terror Of his
presence, and fell PROSTATE on the ground
his countcnancc was like lightuing, and his
raiment was as white as snow he rolled away
the stone from the door Of the sepuIchrc, and
sat upon ii. But who is this that coincth forth
from the tomb, with dyed garments from the
bed of death He that is glorious in his ap.
pearance walking in the greatness Of his
strength 1t is thY Prince, o, Zion Cris.-
ian, il is your Lord. He hath trodden the
wine press alone he hath stained his gar
ments with blood; but now as the first born
from the womb Of nature, he meets thc morn
ing Of his resurrection. Hc arises 9 conquer
or from the grave he returns with blessings
from the world Of spirits he brings salvation
TO the sons Of men. Never did the returning
sun usher IN day 20 glorious II was ths
jubilee Of the universe. The morning stars
sung togsther, and all the sons of God shout
cd aloud fol Joy me Father Of Mercics look.
cd down from his thronc in heaven with COM
placency he behctd his world restored he saw
his work that il was good. Then did the de-
Ser. rejoice the fa>c of nature was gluddensd
before him, when The blessings Of tho eternal
decendcd IS tho dew Of hsayen for the re.
fgeshing Of the nations.
