the griefS OF q thousand years. Out III
the resurrection morn that veil will be
taken away from the face, and the noon
day sun is dull and dim and stupid COM
pared With the outflaming glories OF the
! countenances of the saved. When those
faces of the righteous. those resurreeted
| faces. turn toward the gate, or look up
toward the throne. it will be Nike the
dawning OF a new morning on the bosom
of everlasting day! o glorious resur-
rected body!
But remark also in regard to that
! body, which you are TO get in the resnr-
rection, it will be an immortal body
These bodies are wasting away. Some
body has said as soon as we begin to
live we begin to die. Unless we keep
uniting the fuel into the furnace the
furnace dies out. The blood-vessels are
canals taking the breadstutTS 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 of the embankment Of the
grave; but, blessed be God, in the resur-
rection we will get body immortal.
No malaria in the air, no cough, no neu-
ralgic twlnge, no rheumatic pang, no
| futtering Of the heart, no shortness OF
breath, no ambulance, no dispensary,
no hospital, no invaid's chair, no spec
tacles 10 improve the dim vision; but
health: immortal health! o We who
have aches and pains indescribable this
morping-O We who are never well-O
/ I.u,-otn1 with pbuCiniQ an
distresses, let me tell You OF the resur-
rected body, free from all disease. I'M
| mortal! Immortal!
l will 90 further and say in regard to
that body which you are to get in the
resurrection, it will be powerful body
! We walk now eight or ten miles, and
we are fatigued; we lift few hundred
| hounds, and we are exhausted; I'M
! armed, we meet a wild beast, aud we
must run, or fly, or climb, or dodge be-
cause we are incompetent to meet IL;
we toll eight or ten hours vigorously,
and then we are weary; but in the res
direction we are to have a body that
never gets tired. Is it not a 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 shall send forth his chill
dreu. Plenty TO do. but no fatigue. IL
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 as that
| There is so much work 10 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 be achieved
for Christ, we sometimes wish that from
the first OF January to the last Of De-
cember we could toll on without stop
ping a moment in our work OF commend
! ing 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
il not a glorious thought that after
awhile, we are going to have 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, II at thy bidding | shall
have body that never wearies. That
was a splendid resurrection hymn that
was sung at my fathers burial;
So Jesus slept. Gods dying Son
/ Passed through the gave and blessed the bed.
| Rest here, blest saint till from his throne
/ The morning breaks, 10 pierce the shade.
0 blessed resurrection! Speak ont,
sweet flowers, beautiful flowers, while
you tell of risen Christ and tell of the
righteous who shall rise. May God fill
you this morning with anticipation!
I heard Of a father and son who,
! among others were shipwrecked at sea.
| The father and son climbed into the
rigging. The father held on, but the
son after awhile lost his hold in the
rigging and
| WAS DASHED DOWN.
| The father supposed he had gone hope
/ leSSy under the wave. The next day
/ the father was brought ashore from the
rigging IN an exhausted state, and laid
| in bed in a tiSherman'S hut, and after
many hours had passed he came TO con-
seriousness, and saw lying beside 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 u.s. Coming up from the
same plot in the graveyard, coming up
in the same morning light-the father
and son alive forever, all the loved ones
alive forever, neyermore to weep, never
more to part, neyermore TO die.
! May the God of peace, that brought
again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great Shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the everlasting
covenant make you perfect 10 every
good work, TO do his will; and let this
| brilliant scene of the morning transport
our thoughts to the 2rander Assem- blage
before the throne. This august assem-
blago is nothing compared with it. The
one hundred and forty and four thou
sand, and the great multitude that no
man can number" some OF our best
friends among them, we, after awhile
to join the multitude. Blessed antici-
patton.
NV soul anticipates the day,
Would stretch her wings and soar away,
To aid the song, the palm 20 hear,
And bow, the chief OF sinners there.
No Trace of the Stolen Dog.
