The Annual Resurrection.

As the day dies into night, so doth the
summer into the winter. The sap is said to
descend into the root and there it lies buri-
ed into the ground. The earth is covered
with snow, or crusted with frost, and be-
comes a general sepulchre; when the spring
approached, all begin to rise; the plants
and flowers peep out of their grave, revive,
grow and flourish, This is the annual res
direction. The corn, by which we live,
and for want of which We perish with fam
inc, twithstanding, cast upon the earth,
and buried in the ground with design that
it may corrupt and being corrupted, may
revive and multiply. Our bodies are fed
with this constant experiment, and contln-
lie this life by succession of resurrections
Thus all things are repaired by corrupting,
and preserved by perishing, and revived by
dying. And can we think that man, the
lord of all these things, which thus die and
revive for him, should be detained in death,
SO as never to live again? Is it imaginable
that God should thus restore all things to
man, and not restore man to himself! If
there were no other considerations, but of
the principles of human nature, of the lib
erty and remunerability Of human actions,
and Of natural revolutions and resur-
rections of other creatures, it were abund-
antly sufficient to render the resurrection OF
our bodies highly obable.-Bishop Pier
