Is dull and dim and stupid compared
! with the outtiaming. .glOries of the counte-
/ nances OF the saved. When those faces
! OF the righteous, those resurrected faces,
/ turn toward the gate or look up toward
/ the throne, 10 will be like the dawning OF
! new morning on the bosom OF eVerlast-
! ing dayl o glorious resurrected bOdyl
| But ! remar6 also in regard to that
| body which you are to get in the resur-
/ rectlon IL VIII be an immortal body.
| These bodies are wasting away, Some
| bOdY has said as soon as we begin to i've
we begin TO die. Unless we begin putting
| the fuel into the furnace the furnace dies
out. The blood-vessels are canals taxing
the breadstutfs TO all parts Of the system.
/ We must be recOnstrL cted hour by hour,
| day by day. Sickness and death are all
tue time trying to get their prey under the
tenement or TO push us OF the embank-
ment of the grave; but, blessed be God!
In the resurrection we Will get body I'M
mortal. No malaria in the air, no cough,
no ueuralgic twinge, no rheumatic pang,
no huttering Of the heart, no shOrtness OF
! breath, no ambulance, no dlspensary, no
/ hospital, no iuYald's chair, no spectacles
to improve the dim vision; but health,
immortal health. o, We who have aches
aud pains indescribab;e this morning; Q,
| We who are never well; o, We who are
| lacerated with physical distresses, let me
| tell you OF the resurrected body, free from
all disease. lmmortal Immortall
! | 20 further and say in regard to that
| body which you are to get in the resur-
rectiOn it will be powerful body. We
walk now eight or ten miles and we are
| iatigued. We lift few hundred pounds
and we are exhausted; unarmed We meet
a wild beast aud we must run, or fly, or
| climb, or dodge, because we are incompe-
! tent to meet IL; We toll eight or ten hours
! vigorously, and then we are weary; but
| In the resurrection we are to have body
that never gets tired. Is it not a glorious
thought?
Plenty of occupation in heaven, | sup
| pose, ana Broadway, New York, i'm the
busiest season OF the year at monday, is
not so busy as heaven IS all the time.
Grand projects of mercy tor other worlds.
! Victories 20 be celebrated. The downfall
| of despOtisms on eartn TO be announced.
| Great songs to be learned and sung.
! Great expeditions on which God
| shall send forth His children. Plen-
/ ty TO do, but no fatigue. If you are seated
| under the tree Of lite it will not be to rest.
| but TO talk over with some old comrade
| Old times-the battles where you fought
| shoulder to shoulder. Jacob and the angel
| wrestled together. Jacob was not thrown
! because the angel favored him. But once
! get your resurrected body and the angel
could not wrestle you down. 1t is impOs-
| siDle to wrestle down the giants Of God on
! high-strOng, supple, uneXhausted,
mighty, immortal. Oh, IS it not glOri-
| Gus thOught2
Sometimes in this world we feel we
would like to have such body as that.
| There Is so much work to be done for
| Christ, there are so many tears to be
wiped away, there are so many burdens
| TO lift, there is SO much TO be achieved for
| Christ, we sometimes wish that from the
first OF January to the last of December
we could toll on without stopping to sleep
or take any recreation or TO rest or even
| 10 take fOOd-that we could toll right on
without stopping a moment in our work
| of commencing Christ and heaven to all
| the people. But we all get tired.
! IL is a characteristic OF the human body
| in this condition. We must get tired. Is
! it not glorious thought that after awhile,
| in the service Of God, we are going to have
a body that will never get wearyl o glo-
| riOus resurrection dayl Gladly will /
| fling aside this poor body Of sin and fling
| it into the tomb If at Thy bidding L shall
| have a body that never wearles. That
| was a splendid resurrection hymn that
was sung at my fathers burial:

! Passed through the grave and blessed the bed;
! Rest here. best saint, till from His throne
