see the perfect hand after the knots Of foil
have been united from the knucsles. There
you viii see the form erect and elastic after
tue burdens have gone of the sho,,ider--tha
very iifu OF God in the body
In this world the most impressive tn NO.
the most expressive thing, is the human
lace. but that face is yelled With the criefs
oil Thousand years but in the resurrection
morn that veil will be taken away from the
face AMI the noon lay sun is dull and dim
and stupid compared With the outfaminp
/ glorles OF the countenances o. tina saved
when those faces of the righteous, those re.
| surrected faces, turn toward the gate or
look up towar1 the thron- it will bs like
the dawning OF new morning on the bosom
Oh everlasting day. o., glorious resur.

But remark also, in regard to that body
which you are to get in the resurrection. Il
Will % an immortal body. Th .se bodies are
wasting away. Som abody has sal as soon
as we begin TO i've We begin to die. Unless
we keep putting the fus. into the furnac,
the furnace dies out The bloc vessels sra
canals taking the breailstuffs to all parts of
the system. We must be reconstructed hour
! py hour, day by day. Sickness AMI death
are all the time trying to get their prey uu-
DER the tenement or to push us off the en-
oankment OF the grave; but. blessed be God,
IN tne resurrection we viii get body i'm
mortal.
No malaria in the air, no cough, no neu-
ralgio twinge, no rheumatic pang, no fur-
terlng of tho heart no shortness OF
breath, no ambulance, no disp .usary, no
hospital, no invalids chair, no specta Giles to
improve the dim vision, but health. i'm
mortal health, Oh ye who have aches and
! pains ifidescribAble this r1orniny--Oh ye
who are never well-Oh ye who are lacsrated
with physical distresseS, let me tell you of
the resurrected body, free from all disease
immortal Immortal!
will go further and say, in regard to that
body which yoa are to get in the resurrec-
/ ton, 1t will be Pc gerful body. We walk
now eight or ten miles, AMI we are fatigusd
| We lift few hundred poun Is; and we are ex-
hausteds unafmej, we meet wild beast,
and we must run Or fly or CLIMB or do ige.
/ because we are incompetent to meet it; 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
4 not glorious thought?
/ Plenty Of occupation iIi heaven. suppose
Broadway, New York, in the busiest season
/ of the year at MONDAY is not SO busy as
! heaven is all the time. Grani projects of
mercy for other worlds. Victories 70 be
celebrated. The downfall of despotlsms on
1 earth to be announced. Great songs to be
learned and sung. Great executions on
| which God shall send forth His children.

seated under the trees OF life. it will not be
/ TO rest but to talk over with some old COM
/ rade old tines-the battles where you fought
I shoulder to shoulder.
Sometimes in this world we feel We wotild
/ like to have such body as that There is
SO mitch 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 mitch
to be achieved for Christ we sometimes wish
| that from the first Of January I'd the last Of
/ December we could toll on without stopping
1 to Sleep or take any recreation, or to rest,
| or even to take iooi--that we could toll
| right on without stopping d moment in our
work Of commencing Christ and heaven to
all the people. But we all get tired.
| It is characteristic o. the human body
! in this con iition We mist get tired. Is
it not a glorious Thought tnat after while
we are going TO have body that will never
| get wearys Ga, glorious resurrection day.
/ Gladly will fng aside this poor body OF
sin and fling it into the tomb. il at Thy bid
ding shall have body that never wearies.
/ That was a Splendid resurrection hymn that
/ was sung at my fathers burial;
! So Jesus SLEPT. Gods diving Sons
/ Passed through the grave and blessed the bed
! Rest here, best saint TIL from His throne
/ The morning breaks TO pierce tae shade.
o blessed resurrection! Speak out sweet
/ nowers, beautiful flowers, waIle you tell of
a risen Christ and tell OF the righteous who
| shall rise. May God Il 4 you this morning

! hear OF father and son who among
| others were shipwrecked at sea. The father
end the son climbed into the rigging. The
father held on, but the son after a while lost
bis hold in the rigging an was dashed down.
/ Tue father supposed he hal gone hupelessly
under the wave. The next day the father
was Drought ashore from the rigging in an
exhausted state and laid in bed in fisher
mans hut, and after many hours had passed

side him on the same bed his boy.
oh, my friends, what glorious thing it
will be when we wake up at last to find our
loved ones beside us Coming UP from the

/ in every good WORE, to do His will and let
this brilliant scene OF the morniny transport
