In Greenwoodi In the resurrection will tho
foot come from China, and will the differ
ent parts OF the body be reconstructed In
the resureotion2 How is that possible"
You say that the human body changes
every seven years, and by seventy years Of
ago man has had ton bodles In the resur-
Iectlon which will come upp You say
"A man will die and his body crnmble into
the dust and that dust be taken up into the
life OF the vegetables an animal may eat the
vegetable, men eat the auimal In the
resurrection that body distributed In 80
many directions, how shall II be gathered
upY" Have you any more questions OF this
style TO aak2 Come In and ask them. /
do not pretend to anawerthem, fall back
upon the announcement Of Gods word
"All who are in their graves shall come
forth"
You have noticed, suppose, in reading
the story OF the resurrection, that almost
every account Of the Bible gives the idea
that the characteristic Of that dey will be a
great sound, do not know that
II will be very loud, but know II will be
very penetrating In the mauaoleum whore
silence has reigned thousand years that
voice must penetrate, In the coral cave OF
the deep that voice must penetrate. Mill
ions OF spirits will come through tho gates
OF eternity, and they will come 10 the tombs
OF tho earth and they will cry; "Giyo ua
back our bodieai we gave them to you In
corruption surrender them now In inoor-
ruption," Hundreds OF spinta lowering
about the crags Of Gettysburg, for there tho
bodies are buried. A hundred thousand
spirits coming 10 Greenwood, for there the
bodies arc buried, waiting for tho reunion
Of body and soul
All along the sea route from New Yorh
to Liverpool, at every few milea, whore q
steamer went down, departed spirits COM
ing back are lowering over the wave,
There In whore the City Of Boston perished,
Found nj last There 10 where the Presi-
dent perished, Steamer found NJ lust.
There IN whore the Central America went
down. Spirits lowering, hundreds Of Gpir-
It's hoyeringi waiting for the reunion OF
body and soul, Out on the prairie spirit
alights. Thore Ia whore traveller died In
the snow. Crash goes Westminster abbey
and the poets and orators como forth,
Wonderful mingling OF rood and bad,
Wilborforce the goodi Queen Elizabeth the
bad. Crush 90 the pyramids Of fEgypi, and
the monarcha come forth.
Who can sketch this HoonoY suppose
that one moment before that general rising
there will be an eternal silence siye Aa You
hear the grinding Of q wheel, or the clNttor
OF the ho0fs Of procession passing into
the cemetery. Silence In oll the caves OF
the earth. Silence on the side OF the
mountain. Silence down In the valleys and
far out into the sea, Silence, But In o
moment, In the twinllng Of an eye, on tho
Archangel's trumpet comes pcalng, roll
Ing crashing across the mountains and sea,
the earth will give one terrific shudder and
the graves Of the dead will heavo like the
wave OF the soO, and 0gtond and SobAsto-
pol and Chal0na will stalk forth In tho lurid
air. and tho drowned will como up and
wiring out thoir wet locks above the billow,
and all the land and all tho sea become one
moving mass OF lifo--all faces, all agos
and conditions gazing In ono direction and
upon one throne, tho throne Of rosurec.
