strike. No one win mistake it for thunder
or the blast of earthly minstrelsy. There
| will be heard the voice of the uncounted
millions of the dead, who come rushing
out of the gates of eternity, flying toward
the tomb crying: "Make wayl Oh, grave,
| give us back our body We gave it to you
in corruption; surrender it now in incor-
ruption." Thousands of spirits arising
| from the field of Sedan, and from among
the rocks of Gettysburg, and from among
the passes of South Mountain. A hundred
thousand are crowding Greenwood On
this grave three spirits meet, for there were
three bodies in that tomb Over that fam
| lily vault twenty spirits hover, for there
were twenty bodies.
From New York to Liverpool, at every
few miles on the sea route, group of hun
dreds of spirits coming down to the water
to meet their bodies See that multitude!
That is where the Central America sank.

Pacific went down. Found at lastl That
is where the City of Boston sank. And
yonder the President went down A soil

Is where a traveller persisted in the snow.
The whole air is full of spirits-spirits fly
ing north, spirits flying south, spirits fly
ing east, spirits flying west Crash! goes
Westminster abbey as all its dead kings
and orators and poets get up.
Strange commingling of spirits searching
among the ruins. William Wherefore,

Snap go the iron gates of the modern

beggars; all the armies-yictors and van.

And now the air is darkened with the
fragments of bodies that are coming to-
gether from the opposite corners of the
earth. Lost limbs finding their mate
bone to bone, sinew to sinew-until every
joint is reconstructed, and every arm finds
it's socket, and the amputated limb of the
surgeons table shall be set again at the
point from which it was severed. A sur
geon told me that after the battle of Bull
Run he amputated limbs, throwing them
out of the window, until the pile reached
up to the window sill. All those frag-
ments will have to take their places.
Those who were born blind shall have
eyes divinely kindled; those who were
lame shall have a limb substituted. In
all the hosts of the resurrected not one eye
missing, not one foot clogged, not one
arm palsied, not one tongue dumb, not
one ear deaf.
PEACE TOWARD HEAVEN AND EARTH,
Wake up, my friends, this day, this
glorious Easter morning, with all these
congratulations. If l understand this day,
it means peace toward heaven and peace
toward earth Great wealth of flowers!
Bring more flowers Wreath them around
the brazen throat of the cannon, plant
them in the deserts until it shall blossom
like the rose, braid them into the name of
the war charger as he comes back. No
more red dahlas of human blood. Give us
white lilies of peace. Strew all the earth
with Easter garlands, for the resurrection
we celebrate this morning implies all kinds
of resurrection, q score of resurrections.
Resurrection from death and sin to the
life of the gospel. Resurrection of apos-
tolic faith. Resurrection of commercial in
Resurrection of international goodwill
Resurrection of art. Resurrection of liter
allure. Resurrection of everything that is
good and kind and generous and just and
holy and beautiful. Nothing to stay down,
to stay buried, but sin and darkness and
pain and disease and revenge and death.
Let those tarry in the grave forever.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will to men"
Christ, the Lord, is risen today.
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your songs and triumphs high,
Sing, We heavens, and earth reply.
Loves redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight the battle won.
Lo the suns eclipse is DER;
Lo! he sets in blood no more.
Persons troubled with rheumatism

Iowa. She says: had suffered with
rheumatism the greater part of the
