Heber Newton on the Resurrection.

New York. May BIN the church of All
Souls today Rev. DR.. Heber Newton de-
livered the third of his present series of
sermons on "Our Resurrection in the
Light OF the Resurrection OF Jesus"
During the course of his sermon DR.. New
ton said:
"If we read the story of the resurrec-
ton of Jesus Christ we shall see in Il a
tvpe of every other resurrection that is to
follow We are constrained TO think in
some way about the resurrection of life
If we are TO believe in IL at all. Such
thoughts as we can form seem to me TO
be Illuminated from stories OF the risen
Jesus The life 70 come cannot be bod
uess existence. Nature knows no bodiless
existence: everything that lives clothes
itself in some form or other, more or less
fine matter composing those forms, but
matter of some sort or other there is
clothing everything living. We may he
sure that the dead, living stin. live rot
merely in some disembodied existence:
they have bodies of their own, though
our ewes may not ordinarily see them.
That is clear In the story of the risen
Jesus. The body that shall he will not b.
some wholly new body. else the continuity
of life will be broken. II is an absolute
necessity that in the life beyond personal
identity shall continue. That means that
In some way or other there shall be a
continuance of that which ia truly vital
and essential to our present existence.
There il within us each a spiritual body.
The mysteries OF clairvoyauce or mind
reading these and other we'll authenti-
Gated powers OF men, are not power OF
outer power. but powers OF some inner
ORGANIZATION transformed by the mind.
This again we see illmined I'm the stories
OF the risen Jesus. At the touch OF death
the outer fieshy body falls away and the
entire spiritual body Is freed for new
= a ssnAf ~
body which II leaves or from the spiritual
elements In the encompassing ether the
elements of a new and finer material
body, or In ways OF which we cannot even
dream OF, the mystery Of being clothed
upon may accomplish itself. AT the mo-
ment of death II seems 70 me the spirit
passes out OF IT'S earthly hue IN the house
not made with hands eternal in the

From every sepulcher the stone is already
