not half try when He contrived your
bodily mechanism. Mind you, believe
with all anatomists and all physiolo-
gists and with all scientists and with
the psalmist that tive are fearfully and
wonderfully made" But / believe and
know that God can and will get us
better physical equipment. Is it posi-
BILE for man TO make improvement in al
most anything and God not be able to
make improvements in mans physical
machinery? Shall canal boat give way
to limited express train? Shall slow
letter give place to telegraphy, that
places San Francisco and New York
within minute of communication?
Shall the telephone take the sound of a
voice sixty miles and instantlybring back
another voice, and God, who made the
man who does these things, not be able
to improve the man himself with infin-
tie velocities and infinite multiplication?
Benefic"nt death comes and makes the
necessary removal to make way for
these supernatural improvements
There must be some swifter way and
more satisfactory way of taking in
Gods universe of thoughts and facts
and emotions and information. But
this cannot be done with your brain in
its present state.
Many brain gives way under the
present facility. This whitish mass in
the upper cavity of the skull, and at the
extremity of the nervous system-this
center of perception and sensation can
hot endure more than it now endures.
But God can make better brain, and
He sends death to remove this inferior
brain that He may put in a superior
brain. WELL" you say, ''does not that
destroy the idea of q resurrection of the
present body?" o, no. 1t will be the
old factory with new machinery, new
driving wheel, new bands, new levers
and new powers. Don't you see? So
suppose the dullest human brain after
the resurrectionary process will have
more knowledge, more acutenesss, more
brilliancy. more breadth Of swing than
any Sir William Hamilton or Herschel
or Isaac Newton, or Faraday or Agassiz
ever had in the mortal state or all their
intellectual powers combined. You
see God has only just begun
to build you. The palace of your
nature has only the foundation laid,
and part of the lower story, and only
part of one window, but the great
architect has made his draft of what
you will be when the ALEXANDRIA is COM
pleted.
Then there are the Chronological
hindrances. We run against unpro-
pitious weather of all sorts. Winter
blizzard and summer scorch, and each
season seems to hatch brood of its
own disorders. The summer spreads its
wings and matches out fevers and sun
strokes, and spring and autumn spread
their wings and hatch out malarias,
and winter spreads its wings and
matches out pneumonia and Russian
grippes, and the climate of this world is
n hindrance which every man and wom-
an and child has felt. Death is to the
good transference to superior weather;
weather never tickle, and never too cold
and never too hot and never too light
and never too dark. Have you any
doubt that God can make better
weather characteristic Of this planet?
Blessed is death, for it prepares the
way to change of zones, yea it clears
the path to semi-omnipresence. How
often we want to be in different places
ut the same time. How perpleXed we
get being compelled to choose between
invitations, between weddings, between
friendly groups, between three or four
places we would like to be in the same
morning or the same noon or the same
evening. While death may not open
opportunity to be in many places at the
same time, so easy and so quick and so
instantaneous will be the transference
that it will amount to about the same
thing.
All scientists tell us that the human
body changes entirely once in seven
years, so that if you are % years of age
you have now your fourth body. If you
are AZ years of age you have had six
bodies. If you are 70 years of age you
have had ten bodies. DO you not, my
friend, think if God could
build for you your four or five or ten
bodies he could really build for you one
more to be called the resurrection body?
Aye! to make that resurrection body
will not require half as much ingenuity
and mower. rs those other bodies Won
have had. Will it not be easier for
God to make the resurrection body out
of the silent dust of the crumbled body
than it was to make your body over
five or six or eight times while it was
in motion, walking, climbing, falling or
rising? God has already on your four
or five bodies bestowed ten times more
than He will put upon the
body, Yea, we have the
for the resurrection body in
us now. Surgeons and Psychologists
