| A bare grain is put into the sgoHnd.
/ What comes up? A bare grain? No ;there
comes up green stalk, and the green
| stalk grows, perhaps, in a tree with its
many branches, thick foliage, beautiful
blossoms and luscious fruit. A bare
grain is sown, bare grain does not come
up, not particle of the bare grain is in
the tree. The bare grain went into the
ground, most of it there died, rotted
away, was lost; no part Of the bare grain
ever appeared again, and yet the tree
that grows up is of the same kind and is
known by the same name as the bare
grain that was sown. So with the resur-
rection body. 1t is the same as the
buried body no more than the majestic
oak Of the forest is the same as the buried
acorn, and yet, as the oak and acorn have
some organic connection the one with the
other, so the resurrection body and the
buried body have some organic connec-
tion the one with the other. That is,
SOMETHING OF THAT WHICH IS SOWN,
whether seed or body, is kept; what is
this which is kept: [ answer, Identity.
The subject of identity is a most inter-
esting study; let US look at it for while
go out into the fields this bright day,
climb some one of these hills that en-
girdlc our fair town, | seat myself on
some huge bOwlder and begin to think.
How long has this bowlder been here,
ask. For ages. And has it remained the
same: Yes: the continual dropping of
the rain has worn little basins in it, the
succession of cold and heat has ploughed
tiny tissures through it; but the particles
Of the rock of ages ago are the same as
the PARTICLES Of the rock to-day. SO it is
is. With things that have no strncTnre m
plaD. no relation of Darts mn law of tbair
being the identity IF The rorE ofagas ac.o

teing absolutely no change in The naTri-
clps that comp0se it. But il il not a.

have structure, plan, a relation of
