Under the healthful chemistry Of the
soil all the wear and tear Of nerve and
muscle and bone will be subtracted, and
that bath Of good fresh clean soil will
wash OIL the last ache, and then some of the
same style of dust out Of which the body
OF Adam was constructed may be infused
into the resurrection body. How can
the bodies Of the human race, which have
had no replenishment from the dust
since the time Of Adam In paradise, get
any recupcration from the storehouse
from which he was constructed without
our going back into the dust? That orig.

added to the body as It once was, and all
the defects left behind, what a body will
