believe that your body and mine, after the
vacation o. the grave, shall rouse and rally, |
though there be 5000 years between our
last breath and the sounding Of the arch
angelic reveilles Psychologists tell us that,
while the most OF our bodies are built with
such wonderful economy that we can spare
nothing, and the loss Of finger Is o
hindrance, and the injury Of toe joint
makes us lame, still we have two OF three
apparently useless physical apparati, and
or ar.nSomist OF Psychologist has ever hcen
able to tell what they nrc good for. Per
haps ;hcy are tie foundation Of the rcsur
rection bUdy, worth nothing TO us in this
state, 20 be indispensably valuable in the
next state. The Jewish rabbis appear to
have had hint Of this suggestion when
they said that in the human frame there
was small bono which was to bc the basis
of the resurrection body. That may have
been delusion. But this thing is certain
tho Christian scientists of our day have
found out that there are two or three super
fiuities of the body that arc something glo-
riously suggestive Of another state.
called at my friends house one sum-
mer day. found the yard all piled up
with rubbish of carpenters and mason's
work The door was off. The plumbers
had torn up the floor. The roof was being
lifted in cupola. All tho pictures werc
gone, and tho paper hangers were doing
their work. All the modern improvements
were being introduced into that dwelling.
There was not % room in tho house fit to
live in at that timc although month be-
fore, when Ivisitcd that house, everything
was so beautiful could not have suggest
ed an improvement. My friend had gone
with his family to the Holy Land, expect
ing to como back at the end of six months,
when the building was to be done. And,
oh, what was his joy when, at the end of
six months, he returned, and the old house
was enlarged and improved and glorifed.
That Is your body. 1t looks well now.
All tho rooms filled with health, and we
could hardly make suggestion. But aft
er awhile your soul will go to the Holy
Land, and while yoI are gone the old
house of your tabernacle will be entirely
| reconstructed from cellar to attic. Every
nerve muscle and bone and tissue and
artery must be hauled over, and the old
| structure will be FURNISHED and adorned
and raised and cupolaed and enlarged, and
| all tho improvements of heaven introduced,
and you will move into it OH resurrection
day "For we know that, If our earthly
house of this tabernacle were dissolved, wo
| havc building of God house not made
with hands, eternal in tho heavens" Oh,
what day when body and soul meet
again! They arc very fond of each other
Did your body ever have pain and your
soul not re-ccho it? Or, changing tho
| question, did your soul ever have any troll
Bile and your body not sympathize with it,
| growing wan and weak under the deprcss-
| ing influence? Ordid your soul ever have
a gladness but your body celebrated it with
| kindled eye and cheek and elastic stepp
Surely God never intended two such good
friends to be very long separated. And so
| when tho world s last Easter morning shall
come the soul will descend, crying, "Whero
is my body?" and the body will ascend,
saying, "Whore is my soul?' and the Lord
of the resurrection will bring them to-
gcthcr, and it will be perfect soul in a
perfect body, introduced by perfect Christ
into perfect heaven. Victoryl

Only the bad disapprove of the resurrcc-
tion. A cruel heathen warrior heard Mr..
Moffat, the missionary, preach about the
resurrection, and he said to the mission
ary, "Will my father rise in the last day."
Eyes, " said the missionary. "Will all the
dead in battle riser" said the cruel chief
tain. Eyes, +" said the missionary. "Then. 4"
said the warrior "let me hear no more
about the resurrection day. There can be
no resurrection, there shall be no resurrec-
tion. 1 have slain thousands in battle.
Will they risc?" All, there will be more
to rise on that day than those want to see
whose crimes have never been repented of.
But for all others who allowed Christ to
be their pardon and life and resurrection ii
will be day of victory. The thunders OF
The last day will be the salvo that grects
you into harbor The lightnings will be
only tho torches Of triumphal procession
marching down to escort you home The
burning worlds flashing through immcn-
sity will be the rockets celebrating your
coronation on thrones, where you will reign
forever and forever and forever. Where is
death? What have we to do with deathi
AS your reunited body and soul swing of
from this planet on that last day you will
see deep gashes all up and down the hills,
deep gashes all through the valleys and
they will be the emptied graves, they will
be the abandoned scpulchers, with rough
ground tossed on either side of them, and
slabs will lie uneven on the rent hillocks,
and there will be fallen monuments and
cenotaphs, and then for the first time you
| will appreciate tho full exhilaration of the
! text, "He will swallow up death in vic
tory"
Hail the Lord of earth and heaveni
, Praise to Thee by both be given;
Thee we greet triumphant now,
Hail the resurrection Thou!
