after the waters of death have washed
out the stains of tears and study. There
you will sec the perfect hand, after the
knots of toll have been united from tho
lsnuclklcs There you will see the form
erect and elastic, after the burdens
have gone off the shoulders-the very
life of God in the body.
In this world, the most impressive
thing, the most expressive thing, is the
human face; but that face is yelled
with the griefs of a thousand years,
but in the resurrection morn that veil
will be taken away from the face, and
the MONDAY sun is dull and dim and
stupid compared with the outtiaming
glories of the countenance of the saved
When these faces of the righteous. those
resurrcctcd faces, turn toward the gate,
or look up toward the throne, 1t will be
like the dawning of n new morning on
the bosom of everlasting day! Oglori-
ous rcsurrected body.
But / remark also in regard to that
body which you are to get in the resur-
rection, it will be an immortal one.
These bodies are wasting away.
Somebody has said rs soon rs we
begin to live we begin to die. I'm
less we keep putting the fuel into
the furnace the furnace dies out
The blood-vesscls are canals TAX
ing the breadstuffs to all parts of the
system. We must be reconstructed
hour by hour day by day. Sickness
and death are all the time trying to get
their prey under the tenement, or to
push us off the embankment OF the
grave: but, blessed be God, in the RESI-
direction we will get n body immortal.
No malaria in the air, no cough, no
neuralgia twinge, no rheumatic pang,
no tluttering of the heart, no shortuess
of breath, no ambulance no dispensary,
no hospital, no invalid's chair,
no spcctacles to improve the dim
vision; but health, immortal health. 0
We who have aches and pains indccrib-
able this morning-O We who are never
wcll-O We who are lacerated with
physical dstresses, let me tell you OF
the resurrected body, free from all dis
ease. immortal! immortal.
will go further, and say in regard
to that body which you are to get in the
resurrection, it will be n powerful body.
We walk now eight or ten miles, and
we are fatigued; we lift few hundred
pounds, and we are eXhausted; unarmed,
we meet wild beast, and we must run,
or fly, or climb, or dodge, because we
are incompetent to meet 1t; we toll
eight or ten hours vigorously, and then
we are weary; but in the resurrection
we are to have body that never gets
tired. Is it not glorious thought?
Plenty OF occupation in Heaven.
suppose Broadway, New York, in the
busiest season of the year, at MONDAY,
is not SO busy as Heaven is all the time.
Grand projects of mercy for other
worlds. Victories to be celebrated.
The downfall of despotisms on earth to
be announced. Great songs to be
| learned and sung. Great expeditions
on which God will send forth his chill
dren. Plenty TO do, but no fatigue. II
YOU are seated under the trees of life,
it will not be to rest, but to talk over
with some old comrade old times-the
battles where you fought shoulder to
shoulder.
Sometimes in this world we feel we
would like to have such body Us that.
| There is so much work to be done for
Christ, there are so many tears to be
wiped away, there are so many burdens
| to lift, there is SO much TO he achieved
for Christ, we sometimes wish that
from the first of January to the last Of
December we could toll on without
stopping to sleep or take any recreation
or to rest or even to take food-that we
could toll right on without stopping
| moment in our work Of commencing
Christ and Heaven to all the people.
But we all get tired.
1t is characteristic of the human
body in this condition; we must get
tired. Is it not glorious thought that
after awhile we are going to have q
body that will never get weary? o
glorious resurrection day! Gladly will
fling aside this poor body of sin and
fling it into the tomb If at thy bidding
shall have u body that never wearies
That was n splendid resurrection hymn
that was sung ut my fathers burial:
| So Jesus slept. Gods dying son
Pissed through the grave and blessed the bed
| Rest here blest saint, tin from his throne

among others, were shipwrecked at

the rigging. The father held on, but
the son after awhile lost his hold in the
rigging and was dashed down. Tho
father supposed he had gone hopelessly
under the wave. The next day the
father was brought ashore from
the rigging in an exhausted state, and
