lily to the Holy Land and would not be back
until about six months, at which time the
house would be complete. And what time
ttey did have when they got back to the old
place and found it 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 a
while your soul will 20 to the Holy Land and
while you are gone the old house of your
tabernacle will be entirely reconstructed
from cellar to attic. Every nerve, muscle,
bone, tissue and artery must be healed over
and the old structure will be FURNISHED and
adorned and raised and cupsloed and en-.
larged and all the improvements OF heaven
introduced and then you will move in on
Resurrection day. II the house of this
tabernacle be dissolved, we have q building
OF God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens!
What when body and soul meet again.
They are fond of each other. Did your body
ever have pain and your soul not pity it?
Did your body ever have JOY and your soul
not re-echo it2 Or, changing the question,
did your soul ever have q trouble but your
body sympathized with it growing wan and
weak under the depressing influence? Or
did your soul ever have gladness but your
baay ceiebratGd it with kindled eye and
cheek and elastic step. Surely God never
intended two such good friends to be for
ever separated. And so when on the
worlds last Easter morning the soul shall
descend it will cry: Where is my bodyY
And the body ascending will cry: "Where
is my soulY' and the Lord of the Resurrec-
ton will bring them together and
APerfect Soul in Perfect Body
introduced BY perfect christian to perfect
heaven. Victory. Do you wonder that we
swathe this house with gsrlauds to-day?
Do you wonder that we celebrate with the
most consecrated song that we can invite
and with the deftest fingers on organ and
cornet and with doxologies that beat these
grand arches above US with the pillows OF
sound as the sea smites the basalt at
Giants Csusway?
Only tie bad despise the resurrection.
Macaba, cruel heather warrior heard Mr.
Moffat, the Missionary, preach about the
resurrection. The chiettain cried out:
W III my laJnGr rise! eS, Sdlu Tue
Missionary "Will all the slain in battle
rise?" "Yes," said the Missionary. Then
the chieftain cried out 81 don't want to
hear then about the rising dead; the dead
can't rise. The dead shall not rise. |
have slam 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 to all others
who allow Christ to be their pardon, and
resurrection, it will be day of triumph.
The thunders ofthe last day will only be
the solo that greets you in the harbor. The
lightnings will be only the torches of trium.
phant procession marching down to escort
you. The burning worlds tossed through
immensity, the thrones of power where you
will reign forever and ever. AS your re-
united body and soul swing off from this
planet, you will see deep gashes all up and
down the little hills and valleys of the earth
and they will be the emptied graves, the
abandoned sepulchres, with rough ground
tossed on either side of them and slabs ~
ing uneven on the round hillocks aud there
will be fallen monuments and cenotaphs,
and then fer the first time you will under
stand the full eXhilaration Of my text:
Death is swallowed up in victory
"Hail, the Lord OF earth and heaven
Praise 10 Thee by both be given
Thee greet triumphant now,
Hail The Resurrection, Thou"
