physical machinery? Shall canal boat
give way to limited express train? Shall
slow letter give place to tele9raphy. that
places San Francisco and New York
within minute of communication?
Shall the telephone take the sound of a
voice sixty miles and instantly bring
back another voice, and God, who made
the man who does these things, not be
able to improve the man himself with
infinite velocities and infinite multiplied
ton? Benefcent Death comes in and
makes the necessary removal to make
way for these supernatural improve
ments. So also our slow professor get

Through prolonged study We learned
the alphabet, and then we learned to
spell, and then we learned to read.
Then the book is put before US and the
eye travels from word to word and from
page to page, and we take whole days to
read the book, and if from that book of
four or five hundred pages we have
gained one or twO'prOfitable ideas we feel
we have done well. 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 cannot endure more than it
now endures.
But God can make better brain, and
q dc RI inf arin
brain that He may put in a superior
brain. ''Well," you say, ''does not that
destroy the idea of resurrection Of the
present body?' Oh, no. 1t will be the
old factory with new machinery-new
and new powers. Don't you see? So
suppose the dullest human brain after
the resurrectionary process will have
more knowledge, more acuteness, 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 window, but the
Great Architect has made His draft Of
what you will be when the Alhambra is
completed.
John was right when he said, ut doth

ORANGES. And who has not all his life
run against hindrances?
Then there are the Genealogical him
ORANGES. We run against unpropitious
weather of all sorts. Winter blizzard
and summer scOrch, and each season
seems to hatch brood of its own dis
orders. The summer spreads its wings
and matches out fevers and sunstrokes,
and spring and autumn spread their
wings and hatch out malarias. and win
ter spreads its wings and matches out
pneumOnias and Russian grippes, and
the climate Of this world is a hindrance
which every man and woman and child
has felt Death is to the good transfer
ence 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 than is
characteristic of this planet? Blessed
is death! for it prepares the way for
change of zones, yea, it clears the path
to q acknowledgements.
How often We want to be in different
places at the same time! How per-
picked 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 trans
ference that it will amount to about
the same thing. Quicker than |
can speak this sentence you will be

martyrs, among the apostles, ir the gate,
on the battlementS, at the temple, and
now from world to world as soon as q

other tree branch. Distance no him

Semiomnipresence!
Now, If Death clears the way for all
this, why paint him as hohgoblin?
Why call him the king of torrors? Why
think of him as q great spook? Why
sketch him with skeleton and arrows,
and standing on bank of dark waters?

ages have been busy in maligning Death,
Death. Oh, for the sweet

Right after the vernaI equinox, aud
when the flowers are beginning to
bloom, well may all nations with song
and congratulation and garlands cele-
brate the resurrection of Christ and our
own resurrection when the time is gone
by, and the trumpets pour through the
flying clouds the harmonies that shall
wake the dead.
