up i'm a chariot of fire. The mortal
body of Jesus-the very same body
that waspierced by the nails and spear.
and laid in the new tomb of Joseph of
Arimatbea-tia body is the one that
rose from the dead and left the tomb.
AS the angel said to the women, He
is not here but He is risen. Come, see
the place where the Lord lay" That
place no longer held His body, for the
identical body that laid there had ris-
ell.
Right here comes the objector Of the
scientific school with his supposed tri-
umphant argument and proves by
mathematical calculation that there is
not matter enough in this round globe
to clothe 1.-THE of the teeming mil
lions that have already moved upon
its surface, and been laid to rest be-
meath its peaceful! bosom, "when life's
fitfui fever is over"
They will tell you Of the authenti-
Gated instance of the apple tree that
grew over a grave that was opened
years after the burial and it was found
that the tree had pierced the body with
its roots. taken up its particles through
its organic processes, and distributed
them through limb and leaf, blossom
and fruit. Those particles found in
the frui; were eaten and assimulated
again into another body. While those
particles which went into the fOrnIa-
ton of leaves fell with the dying leaves
of autumn. and We're scattered by the
winds of Heaven in every direction,
and in time became vegetable mold
again, giving sustenance to the grow

were once together in that body under
the apple tree, are now gathered IN
widely separated harvest fields, TO be
made into bread to feed and be asslm-
Hated into still other human bodies,
which at death will return them 70
neither earth again to continue their
ceaseiess round of change, entering
into other forms of vegetable and ami
mai life over and over again. How, II
is asked, is it possible for those scatter
ed particles TO come back Mt the sound
of the trump of God and be collected
there under the apple tree to enter the
body that was there buried? and how
is this difficulty increased; nay, rem
dered insurmOuntable, an absolute I'M
possibility, by taking into the account
the different bodies that would lay
claim in the resurrection to the same
particles Of matter as constituting
part of themselves at death. We know
not of how many different bodies the
particles that constituted the body
buried where the apple tree grew, had
already formed part during the ages
past, nor how many they will form
constituent elements of at the time OF
their death during the ages to come.
One thing, however, Is certain the
same particles have done uuty over
and over again in constituting diner-
ent bodies. And here, at this point
the scofling skeptics, twhich renash
Is original, Thomas falne anu neg
dore Parker come IN win their fiui-
cule and picture the ridiculous scene
of different spirits III the resurrection,
with manned bodies quarreiing over
and trying to snatch from each otnei
the same limb, orarn. or hahd or ioot,
or nose, or ear, or eye-each eiaiihiIs&
il as his own, and needed TO cohipiete
