them in the hand: it melns victory
Christ was buried in parterre. Christ
was buried in garden. Flowers are
types OF resurrection. Death is sad
enough anyhow. Let conservatory aud
arboretum do all they can in the way Of
alienation. Your little girl loved flowers
while she was alive. Put them in her
hands, now that she cannot go forth and
pluck flowers for herself. On sunshiny
days twist garland for her still heart.
Brooklyn has no grander glory than her
Greenwood. nor Boston than her Mount
Auburn. nor Philadelphia than her Laurel
Hill, nor Cincinnati than her Spring
Grove. nor San Francisco than her Lone
Mountain.
Standing in this place where the Lord
lay, am also impressed with the dignity
| or unpretending obsequies. Joseph that
| day was moufner, sexton, liveryman--had
the entire charge Of all the occasion. Four
people only at the burial Of the King of the
universe. Let this be consolatory to those
who through small means or lack Of largo
Acquaintance, have but little demonstration
Of grief at the grave of their dead. 1t is
not necessary. Long line of glittering
eGuipages, two rows of silver handles, cas-
ket Of costly wood, pail bearers scarfed
and gloved are not necessary. Christ looks
out from heaven on burial, where there
are six in attendance and remembers there
are two more than he had at his Obsequies
Again; standing in this place where tn"
Lord lay, l am impressed with the fact
that you cannot keep the dead down.

soldiers from the tower Of Antonio to

tainly we will come up again.
Various scriptural accounts say that the
work Of grave-breakng will begin with the
blast of trumpets and shoutings; whence
take it that the first intimation Of the day
will be a sound from heaven such as has
[ never before been heard. 1t may not be so
very loud. but it will be penetrating. There
are mausoleums so deep that undisturbed
, silence has slept there ever since the day
when the seepers were left in them. The
t great noise shall strike through them.
. Among the corals Of the sea. miles deep,
$ where the shipwrecked rest, the sound will
s strike. No one will mistake it for thunder
! or the blast of earthly minstrelsy. There
! will be heard the voice Of the uncounted
Q millions Of the dead who come rushing out
/. of the graves Of eternity, flying toward the
= tomb, crying. snake way! Oh, grave give
@ us back our body We gave it to you in cor
ruption; surrender it now in interruption"
G Snap! go the iron gates Of the modern
I vaults. The country graveyard will look

It break open. All the kings Of tho earth;
k all the senator's; all the great men. all the

d were chopped by guillotine or simmered
