world. could not find person in 1ny
style of life ignorant of the sensation
OF fatigue. do not believe there are
nifty persons in this audience who are
not tired. Your head is tired. or your
back is tired, or your foot is tired or
your brain is tired, or your nerves are
tired. Long journeying, or business
application. or bereavement. or sick
ness has put on you heavy weights. So
the vast majority of those who went out
OF this world went out fatigued. About
the poorest place to rest in. is this
world Its atmosphere, its surround
ings, and even its hilarities are ex-
hausting. So God stops our earthly
life, and riercifally closes the eyes.
and more especially gives quieseenee
to the lung and heart, that have not
had ten minutes rest from the first

drummer boy We're compelled in the
army to beat his drum for twenty-four

would be court-martialed for cruelty.

manded to beat his drum for a week
without ceasing. day and night, he
would die in attempting il. But under
your vestment is a poor heart that
began its drum beat for the march of
life thirty, or forty, or sixty, or eighty
years ago. and il has had no furlough

some of the same style of dust out of
which the body of Adam was con
structed may be infused into the res.
direction 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 re-
cuperation from the storehouse from
which he was constructed without our
going back into the dust? That orig
inal, life-giying material having been
added to the body as it once was. and
all the defects left behind, what body

Factories are apt to be rough places,
and those who toll in them have their
garments grimy and their hands
smutched. But who cares for that
when they turn out for us beautiful
musical instruments or exquisite up

rough place, it is a resurrection body
