Startling Theory in Anaomy.
Surgeons and Psychologists say there are

are the preliminary of the resurrection body.
God does not make anything for nothing.

body will be demonstrated when the glo-

Now, III Death clears the way for all this,

1 was told at Johnstown, after the flood,
| that many people who had been for months
and years bereft, for the first time got com
fort when the awful flood came, to
think that their departed ones were not
present to see the catastrophe. As the
people were floating down on the housetops,
they said: "oh, how glad 1 am that father
and mother is not here"
Evils Our Departed Friends Escape.
Ought not we who are down here amid the
upturnings OF this life be glad that none of
the troubles which submerge us can ever
alright our friends assembled? Before this
warrant our departed ones have been in
troduced to all the celebrities of heaven.
We, the shipwrecked, and on a raft in the
hurricane, looking up ut them sailing on
over calm seas, under skies that never
frowned with tempests; we hopped with
chains, they lifted by wings. Surely the
bitterness of death is past"
Further, if what / have been saying is
true, We should trust the Lord and be
thrilled with the fact that our own day OF
escape cometh. If our lives were going to
end when our heart ceased to pulsate and
our lungs to breathe, l would want to take
10 600 600 years of life here for the first install
ment. But, my Christian friends, we can
not afford always to STAY down in the cellar
of our Fathers house. We cannot always be
postponing the best things. We cannot al
ways be tuning our violins for the celestial
must mount. We cannot afford always to
stand out here in the vestibule of the house
of many mansions. while the windows are
illuminated with the levee angelic, and we
can hear the laughter of those forever free,
and the ground quakes with the bounding
feet of those who have entered upon eternal
play. Ushers of heaven! Open the gates!
Swing them clear back on their pearly
hinges! Let the celestial music rain on us
its cadences.
Thoughts Suggestive Of Easter Morn.
All these thoughts are suggested as we
stand this Easter morn amid the broken
rocks OF the Saviour's tomb. The day that
Christ rose and came forth the sepulchre
was demolished forever, and no trowel of
earthly masonry can ever rebuild it. And
the rupture Of those rocks, and the snap of
that governmental seal, and the crash OF
those walls of limestone, and the step OF the
lacerated but triumphant foot of the risen
Jesus we to-day celebrate with acclaim
OF worshiping thousands. while with all
the nations of Christendom, and all the shin
ing hosts of heaven we chant, "Now is Christ
risen from the dead and become the first
fruits of them that slept"
Oh weep no more your comforts slain,
The Lord is risen, He lives again.
"And now may the God of peace, who
brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great Shepherd of the sheep through the
blood of the everlasting covenant make YOU
perfect in every good word and work" Hal
1clujah! Amen!
