not room ft to live In, although o few
weeks before when stopped there 1t was
80 beautiful that it did not seem to me that
any improvement was possible. My friend
had gone with his family 10 the Holy Land
and would not be back until about six
months, at which time the house would be
| complete, and what time they did have
when they got back to the old place and
found 1t so wonderfully reconstructed.
That is your body. 1t looks we'll now, all
the rooms filed with health, and could
hardly make a suggestion. But, after q
while, your soul will 60 to the Holy Land,
an while you are gone the old house OF
your tabernacle will be entirely recon

muscle, bone, tissue and artery must be
hauled over, and the old structure will be
FURNISHED and adorned, and raised and
cupolaed and enlarged, and all the i'm.

What time, body and soul meet again.
They are fond of each other. Did your
body ever have a pain and your soul not
pity it! Did your body ever have a Joy
and your soul not re.echo its Or, changing
the question, did your soul ever have a
trouble but your body sympathized with
1t, growing wan and weak under the de-
pressing influence? Or did your soul ever
have gladness but your body celebrated

good friends to be forever separated. Anj
so when on the worlds last Easter morn
ing the soul shall descend it will cry:
"Where is my body?" and the body as
cending will cry: "Where is my souli "
and the Lord of the Resurrection will
bring them together, a perfect soul In q
perfect body, introduced by a perfect
Christ into a perfect Heaven. Victory

with the deftest flng gers on organ aud cor

Only the bad depise the resurrection.
Macaba, a cruel heather warrior, heard
Mr.. Moifat, the missionary, preach about
the resurrection. The chieftain cried out:
"Will my father risoi" "Yes," said the
missionary. "Will all the slain in battle
riseY" "Yes," said the missionary. Then
the chieftain cried out: "a don't want to
hear this about the rising dead. The dead
can't rise. The dead shall not rise. have
slain my thousands; shall they rise~ On
the day OF which speak too much will
rise for those whose published or hidden
crimes shall be exposed. But for all Others
who allow Christ to be their pardon and
their life and their resurrection it win be a
day Of triumph.
The thunders OF the last day will only be
the salvo that greets you into the harbor
The lightnings will be only, the torches OF
triumphant procession marching down 10
escort you. The burning worlds tossed
through immensity, the rockets celebrating
your coronation on thrones OF power, where
you viii reigu forever and ever. As your
reunited body and soul swing of from this
planet, you will see deep gashes all up and
down the hills and valleys Of the earth,
and they will be the empty graves, the
abandoned sepulchers, with rough ground
tossed on either side of them, and slabs ly-
ing uneven on the round hillocks, and there
will bs fallen monuments and cenotaphs,
and then for the first time you will UNDER
stand the full exhllaration Of my text:
Death is swallowed up In victoryp
Hail, the Lord OF earth and Heayeni
Praise 10 Thee by both be given.
Thee we greet, triumphant now. ..
Hail tho resurrection, Thoul
