shall strike through them. Among the corals
Of the sea, miles deep, where the shipwrecked
rest the sound will strike No one will mis-

minstrelsy. There will be heard the voice of
the amounted millions of the dead, who come
rushing out Of the gates of eternity, flying
toward the tomb crying: MAKE wayi Oh,

from the field of Sedan, and from among the

grave three spirits meet for there were

alights on youder prairie. That is where a
traveller persisted in the snow. The whole
air is filled with spirits-spirits flying north,
spirits flying south, spirits flying east, spirits
flying west crash goes Westminster
Abbey as all its dead kings and orators and
poets get up.
And aow the air is darkened with the frag-

from the opposite corners Of the earth. Lost
limbs finding their mate-bone TO bone.
sinew to sinew-untl every joint is recon-

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 amputated limbs.

pile reached up to the window sill. All thoss
fragments win have to take their places.
Those who were born blind shall have eyes

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
Wake up, my friends this day. this
glorious Easter morning, with all these
congratulations. If understand this day,
it means peace toward heaven aud 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
mora 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 restrictions.
Resurrection from death and sin to thelife
of the gospel. Resurrection of apostolic
faith. Resurrection of commercial integrity.
Resurrection of national honor Resurrec-
ton 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 beauti-
fui. Nothing to stay down, TO stay buried,
but sin and darkness aud pain and disease
and revenge and death. Let those larry in
the grave forever. ''Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will to
men,
Christ, the Lord is risen to-day
Sous of men and angels say,
Raise your songs and triumphs high,
Sing, We heavens, aud earth reply.
Loves redeeming work Is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won.
Loi the suns eclipse is DER;
Loi he sets in blood no more.
