WHY the difference when the seeds look

the oak leaf is different from the leaf OF
the hickory. Tell me how the Lord

/ FIND MY STRENGTH
In this passage: "All who are in their
graves shall come forth " do not pre-
tend to make the explanation. You can
90 and say: Suppose returned mis-
sionary dies ia Brooklyn; when he was
I'm China his foot was amputated; he
lived years after in England, and there
be had an arm amputated; he is buried
to-day I'm Green wood; in the resurrec-
zion vii! the foot come from China, Will
the arm come from England, and Will
the different parts of the body be recon-
structed In the resurrection? How Is
that pOssible?'
You saw that 1.-THE human body
changes every seven years, and by sew
envy years of age man has had ten
bodies, i'm the resurrection which viii
come up" You say, "a man will die
and his body crumbie into the dust, and
that dust be taken up into the life OF
the vegetable; an animal may eat the
vegetable, men eat the animal; in the
resurrection, that body distributed IN so
many directions, how shall it be gather
el up?' Have you any more questions
of this style 70 ask? Come on and ask
them. do not pretend 10 answer them.
/ FAN back on the announcement or
Gods Word: "All who are In their
graves shall come forth
You have noticed, l suppose, in read
Ing the story Of the reSusurrectlon,
that almost every account of the Bible
gives the idea that the Characteristic
OF that day will be a great sound. do
not know that it will be very loud, but
I know IL Will be very penetrating. In
the mausOleum where silence has
reicned q thousand years that voice
must penetrate.
MILLIONS OF SPIRITS
will come through the gates of eternity,
and they will cry: "Giye US back our
bodies. we gave them 10 you in cor
rupt.on, surrender them now in incOr-
rup,iOn Hundreds Of spirits lowering
about the crags of Gettysburg, for there
the bodies are buried. A hundred
thousand spirits coming to Greenwood,
for there the bodies are buried, waiting
for the reunion of bOdv and soul.
AN along the sea route from New
York TO Liverpool, at every few miles
where steamer went down, departed
spirits coming back, lowering over the
wave. There is where the City Of BoS-
ton persisted. Found at last. There is
where the President persisted. Steamer
found 40 last. There is where the Cen
trail America went down. Spirits how
eriug-huudreds Of spirits lowering,
waiting for the reunion Of body and
soul. Out on the prairie n spirit alightS.
There is where traveller died in the
snow. Crash. goes Westminster Abbey,
and the poets and orators come forth;
wonderful mingling Of good and bad.
Crash! 90 the Pyramids Of Egypt, and
the mOnarchS come forth.
Who can sketch the scene? / sup
pose that one moment before that gen.
eral arising there viii be an entire ST.

q wheel, or a clatter Of the hoofS OF
procession passing.
INTO TIE CEMETERY.
Silence i'm all the caves Of the earth.
Silence on the side Of the mountain.
Silence down in the valleys and far out
into the sea. Silence. But in mo-
ment, in the twlkliug Of an eye, as the
archange's trumpet comes pealing, roll
log crashing across mountain and ocean,
the earth will give one terrific Shudder,
and the graves of the dead will heave
like the waves of the sea. and OStend
aud SebastODOl aud ChalonS will stalk
forth in the lurid air, and the drowned
Will come up and wiring out their wet
Toe IS above the blllOw; and all the land
and an the sea become one moving mass
of Iife-all faces, all ages, all conditions
gazing in one direction aud upon one
throne OF resurrection.
''All who are in their graves shall come
forth"
..But," you say, ''if this doctrine OF
the resurrection is true, as prehgured
bythis Easter morning, Christ the first
fruits of them that slept, Christ rising
q promise and prophecy OF the rising
OF an his people, can you tell US some
thing about the resurrected body?" l
can. There are mysteries about that,
but shall tell you three or four things
in regard 10 the reSurrected body that
are beyond guessing and beyond mis-
take.
IN the first place, remark in regard
TO your resurrected body. The body we
have now is a mere skeleton Of what it
would have heen If sin had not marred
and deiaced 10. Take the most exquisite
statue that was ever made by an artist,
and chip 10 here and chip 10 there with
a chisel, and batter and bruise it here
and there, and then stand IL out in the
storms Of hundred years, and the beau
ty would be gone. Well, the human
body has been Clipped aud battered and
bruised and damaged with the storms of
thousands Of yearS-the physical de-
fcctS OF other generations coming down
from generation TO generation, we in
berlted the
INFEIICITIES OF PAST GENERATIONS;
but in the morning of the resurrection
The body Will be adorned and 0eautitied
according 20 the original model. And
there is no such difference between a
gymnast and an emaciated wretch in
.azaretto, as there will be a difference
between our bodies as ;hey are now and
our reSurreCted forms.
There you will see tho perfect eye,
after the waters of death have washed
