their earthly existence. Not only will that

1t WAS shame that in that place I'M
grateful generations planted no trees, aud

ON The day of which | speak the resurrect-
ed shall make the place Of their feet glo-
rious. Frum under the shadow of the
church. where they slumbered among net
ties and mullen stalks and thistles and
slabs asluut they shall rise with glory
that shall flush the windows of the village
church, sud by the bell tower that used to
call thou to yurship, and above the old
spire beside which their prayers formerly
assembled. What triumphal procession new

did for an academy. what an orator never
did for a brilliant auditory, what obelisk
ucyerdid for a king, resurrection morn will
do for all the cemeteries.
II WE ARE his
This Easter tells us that in Christ's res
direction our resurrection, if we are his,
and the resurrection of all the pious dead, is
assured, for he was "the first fruits of them
that slept Rcuan says Inc did not rise,
but SO witnesses, 90 of them Chrst's enc
mics, say he did rise, for they saw him aft
er be had risen. ltle did not rise, how did
GO armed soldiers let him get away Surely
60 living soldiers ought to be able to keep
one dead man! Blessed. be Cod He did
get away.
After his resurrection Mary Magdalene
saw him. Cluupas saw him. Ten disciples
i'm an upper room at Jerusalem saw him,
On Il mountain the II saw him. Five hun
dred at once saw him. Professor Ernest
Renan, who did not see him, will excuse us
for taking the testimony of the $50 who did
see him. Yes yes, he got away. And that
makes me sure that our departed loved ones
and we ourselves shall get away. Freed
himself from the shackles of clod, he is not
going to leave Us and ours in the lurch
There will be no duorknob on the inside
Of our family sepulcher forwe cannot come
out Of ourselves, but there is a doorknob on
the outside, and that Jesus shall lay hold
Of and opening will say: Good morning!
You have slept long enough! Arise, arise!"
And then what hutter of wings, and what
flashing of rrhiudled eyes, aud what glad
some rushing across the family lot with
cries of Father is that your" Mother, is
that yout" My darling, is that youf"
