original model. And there is no such
difference between a gymnast and an
emaciated wretch in the iaZaretto, as
there will be a difference between our
bodies as they are now and our resur-
! rected forms
There you will see the perfect eye,
after the waters of death have washed
| out the stains of tears and study. There
you will see the perfect hand, after the
| knots of toll have been united from the
| knuckles 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 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
| resurrected faces, turn toward the gate
or look up toward the throne, 1t will b:
like the dawnirg of a new morning on
the bosom OF everlasting day. o glori-
Gus, resurrected 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 as soon as we
begin to live we begin to die. In
less we keep putting the fuel into
the furnace the furnace dies out
| The b,ood-vessels are canals TAX
| ing the brea lstuffs 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 res
direction we will get body immortal.
No malaria in the air. no cough, no
neuralgia twinge, no rheumatic pang.
no fiuttering of the heart, no shortness
of breath, no ambulance no dispensary,
no hospital, no invalid's chair,
no spectacles to improve the dim
vision: but health. immortal health. o
We who have aches and pains indescrib-

well-O We who are lacerated with
physical distresses 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 powerful body.
We walk now eight or ten miles, and
we are fatigued: we lift few hundred
pounds. and We are exhausted: uuarmed.
we meet wild beast, and we must run,
or fly, or climb, or dodge, 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 a body that never gets
tired. Is it not glorious thought?
Plenty of occupation in Heaven l
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 celebrate d
The downfall OF despotisms on earth to
be announced Great songs to be
learned and sung. Great expedition:
on which God will send forth his chill
dren 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 conrade old times-the
battles where you fought shoulder tc
| shoulder.
Sometimes in this world we feel we
would like to have such body as that
There is so much work to be done fol
Christ. there are so many tears to bs
wiped away. there are so many burden:
to lift. there is so much to be achieved
for Christ. we sometimes wish tina
from the first Of January to the last OF
December we could toll on withou
stopping to sleep or take any recreation
or to rest or even to take food-that WE
could toll right on without stopping q
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 ge
| tired Is it not glorious thought tina
after awhile we are going to have
, body that will never get weary?
glorious resurrection day! Gladly viii
fling aside this poor body of sin ant
fling it into the tomb if at thy bidding
l shall have body that never wearies
