back our body We gave il to you in cor
| ruption. surrender IL now in interruption
/ 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 tombi over that family vault twenty
I spirits hover. for there were twenty bodies.
/ From New York TO Liverpool, at every few
| miles on the sea route, a group OF hundreds
/ OF spirits coming down TO the water 70 meet
their bodies See that multitude!-that Is
/ where the Central America sank. And yon-
der multitude!-that is where the Pacific
went down. Found at lastl That is where
the City Of Boston sank And yonder the
President went down. A solitary spirit
alights on yonder prairie-that Is where
traveller persisted IN the snow. The whole
air is full of spirits-spirits flying north,
| spirits flying south, spirits flying east,
| spirits flying west. Crash! goes Westmln-
ster Abbey, as all its dead kings and orators,
and poets get up. Strange com Hlng1ug OF
spirits searching among the ruins. William
Wiberforce, the good, and Queen Eliza
beth, the bad. Crashl 90 the Pyra-
mids, and the mOnArchs Of Egypt
rise out of the heart of the desert.
Snapl go the iron gates Of the modern
vaults. The country graveyard will look
break open. All the kings of the earth; all
the senator's; all the great men; all the beg
gars; all the armies-victOrs and van
pushed; all the ages-barbaric and civil
lied; all those who were ch pped by Suillo-
tine or sinmered in the fire. or rotted in
dungeons; all the infants Of day; all the
octogenarians-alll ALL Not one straggler
left behind. All! all And now the air is
darkened with the fragments of bodies that
ara rOunino taOafhaF from the ODDOsita cur-
ners Of the earth. Lost limbs finding their
mate-bone to bone, sinew t. sinew-until
every joint is reconstructed, and every arm
finds its socket and the amputated limb OF
the surgeons table shall be set again at the
point from which it was severed. A surgeon
told me that after the battle Of Bull Run he
amputsted limbs, throwing them out Of the
window, until the pile reached up to the
window-sill- All those fragments 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.
WAGE up, my friends, this day, this glo-
rious Easter morning, with all these con-
CALCULATIONS. II | 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 desert until it shall blossom
like the rose, braid them into the name of
the war charger as he comes back. No
more red dahlias 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, a
score of resurrections Resurrection from
death and sin to the life Of the gospel. Res
direction of apostolic faith. r surrectioa
of commercial integrity. Resurrection of
international good will Resurrection Of
art Resurrection Of literature. Resur-
rection Of everything that is good and
kind and generous and just and holy and
be utiful. 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, goodwill
to men"
Christ. the Lord, is risen to-day,
Sons Of men and angels say.
Raise your SONGS and triumphs high,
Sing ye heavens, and eartn reply.
Loves redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won.

Lo! he sets in blood no MORE
