DR.. L. L. Cooper preached IN Union NJ
church, on Sunday morning, 10 very larg
congregation, many not being able 10 opts!
seats, sermon from the test: If man al
shall he live again'--Jeb. xiv. IA v. He OBJ
served that the words of the text furnish u
with an appropriate inquiry on the present DC
casion, when we have met together 70 pay
tribute to the memory Of the late Phlllp ii
Jones, who was good and honorable man,
useful and beloved man. The object was tt
make an expression Of sorrow felt by SO an1lct
ing event as his death. DR.. g. dwslt vt con
siderable length on the sutterlngs Of job, bi'
patience and piety, and passed on to consiuer
man death ami Immortality. He wished to draw
especial attention to these three points. MAN
he said, was u compound being, composed oil
body and soul. The body was made upright
il was wonderfully and fearfully made. The
existence Of the soul was just as conclusive
as tho existence Of the body. No man IL
more sensible that he has hand than no is
that he has mind. lie next remarked on
death which is frequently personifed as a
messenger, an angel, &c. lie regarded death
as an effect, an occurrence-a mere extinction
Of animal life. Life was principle which he
should not stop to consider, whoever stops
short Of Christ and God would fail 10 attribute
life to its great original principle. lie remark
cd. that death is the wages of.sin If our race
had remained innocent there would have been
no death, sickness or pain. He spoke of tho
fear Of death as being q wise proyisiOn-pre-
venting hundreds Of suicides and deeds OF
violence. He described death, and remarked
Brother Jones is dead. We can scarcely re-
alize it. How is it that he is taken from all
his usefulness--stricken down while his facul-
ties were mpnired-shau he live again2 He
next referred to Immortality and dwelt at con-
siderable length on the probability of the body
and soul being united in future Lille. The res
direction OF the material part of man and the
existence of il in a future state Is evidently a
subject to which DR.. g. has paid considerable
attention, though many regard it as u matter Of
little Importance and unworthy of serions
Thought. He that can create world, will not be
at loss to give every soul a bodily covering
similar tothat with which it was clothed on cart
IL he desires TO do so, though il may have been
dispersed in the elements, become incorporated
In other bodies, or lay Wondering In tho
depths OF the sen. II Is hardly profitable to
expend time in inquiring whether il shall be
the same flesh and blood, or new creation
a new body, undying and unperishable7 Those
VINO mold the latter opinion would hardly be
lost on account Of it, and something more
than the former Is certainly necessary as pas
port to heaven. Tho Doctor gave briet his
