ARRIVAL OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
AS soon as the Knights Templar arrived,
accompanied by the Great Western band, they
marched into the parlor where the remains
brother and gazed upon his features for
the last time. At the conclusion of
this the Knights took position
in front OF the residence, and there remained
till the
CEREMONIES IN THE HousH
were concluded. These were begun by Rev.
Mr.. Marshall, who read a passage of scripture
from the XCth psalm, as follows
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place In
all generations. Before the mountains were
the earth and the world, even from
everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Thou turnest man to destruction; aud sayest,
Return, ye children of men. For thousand
years in thy sight are but as yesterday
when 1t Is past and as watch in the night.
Thou earliest them away as with food; they
are as asleep: In the morning they are like
grass that groweth up. d the morn
ing it fourisheth. and groweth up, in the
evening it is cut down and withereth. For
we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy
wrath all are troubled. Thou has set our in
Equities before thee, our secret sins in the
light Of thy countenance. For all our days
are passed away in thy wrath; we spend our
years as tale that is told. The days of our
and If by reason OF strength
they be four score years, yet is their strength,
labor and sorrow, for it is soon cut of and we
fly away. Who knoweth the power of Thine
anger? Even according to Thy fear, so is Thy
wrath. So teach us to number our days that
turn, Lord, how long? and let it
repent Thee concerning Thy serY-
ants. o satisfy us early with Thy
mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our
days. Make us glad according to the days
wherein thou hast afflicted us, aad the years
wherein we have seen evil. Let thy work ap-
pear unto thy servants and thy glory unto
thy children; and let the beauty of the Lord
our God be upon us; and establish thou the
work OF our hands upon us; yea, the work of
our hands establish thou 1t.
He also read the following from Cor, XIV,
4l-58: There is one glory of the sun, and an
other glory of the moon, and another glory
of the stars; for one star differeth from an
other star in glory. So also is the resurrec-
ton of the dead. 1t i5 sown In corruption, it
is raised In interruption; it is sown in dis
honor, 1t is raised in glory; 1t is sown in
weakness, 1t is raised In pc wer; it is sown O
natural body, it Is raised a spiritual body
THERE'S natural body, and there Is spiritual
body. And so 1t is written. The first man
ADAM was maze living SOUL; Inc last Adam
was made quickening spirit. Howbeit that
was not first which is spiritual, but
that which is natural; and afterward
that which is spiritual. The first man is of
the earth earthly; the second man Is the Lord
from heaven. As is the earth earthly, such
are they also that ale earthly; and as Is the
heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthly,
we shall also bear the image OF the heavenly.
Now this / say, brethren, that flesh
and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God. Neither doth corruption inherit incor-
ruption. Behold / show you mystery: We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
in moment, in the twinklIng of an eye, at
the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, ard
all shall be changed. For this corruptible
must put on interruption; and
this mortal must put on i'm
mortality. So, when this corruptible shall
have put on interruption, and this mortal
shall have put on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory. Oh, death,
where is thy sting? Oh, grave, where Is thy
victory? The sting of death is sin, and the
strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to
God, which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved
brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always
Astounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch
| as We know that your labor is net in vain in
| the Lord.
