Do not this waking up OF men from trance
and this waking up of grains buried 5000
years ago make it easier for You to believe
that your body and mine, after the vacation
of the grave. shall rouse and rally, though
here be 5000 years between our last breath
and the sounding OF the archangelic reveille?
Psychologists tell us that, while the most of
our bodies are built with such wonderful
economy inst We can spare nothing, and the
loss OF a finger is u hindrance. and the in
Jury Of a toe joint makes us lame, still We
have two or three apparently useless phySi:

lst has ever been able to tell whit they are
good for. Perhaps they are tie foundation
Of the resurrection body. worth nothing to
US in this state. to be indispensibly 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
:,f, oF
resurrection body. That may have been a
delusion. But this thing is certain, the Chris
tian scientists of our day have found out
that there are two or three superfluties OF
the body that are something gloriously sug
Sestive of another state.
called at my friends house one summer
day l found the yard all piled up with rub
bish oi carpenters and MaSon's work. The
ioor was of. The plumbers hal torn up the
door. The roof was being lifted in cupola.
All the pictures were gone, and the paper
hangers doing their work. All the modern
improvements were being introduced into
that dwelling. There was not room in the
house fit to live in at that time, although a
month before, when l visited that house,
everything was so beautiful could not have
suggested an Improvement. My friend had
gone with his IA n.ly to the Holy Land. ex-
pecting to come 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 glo-
rifedl That is your body! 1t loooks well

We could hardly make a suggestion. But
after awhile your soul will go to the Holy
Land, and while You are gone the old house
OF your tabernacle will be entirely recon-
structed 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 coupolaed and enlarged,
and all the improvements OF heaven intro
duced. and You will move into it on resurrec-
| tion dav- "Fc- we know that. If our earthly
house of this tabernacle We're dissolved, we
have a building of God, a house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens" Oh,
what day when body and soul meet again!
They are very fond of each other. Did
your body ever have a pain and your
soul not re-echo it? Or, changing the
question, did your soul ever have any
trouble and your body not sympathize
with II. growing wan and weak under
the depressing influence? Or did your
soul ever have a gladness but your body
celebrated it with kindled eye and cheek and
elastic step. Surely God never intended two
such good friends to be very long separated.
And so when the worlds last Easter morning
shall come the soul will descend, crying,
"Where is my body?' And the body will
ascend, saying, "Where is my soul?" And
the Lord OF the resurrection will bring them
together. and 1t Will be a perfect souI IN
perfect body, introduced by perfect Chris
INTO perfect heaven. Victory!
