 However labyrinthine the mauso- leum, however costly the sarcophagus, however architecturally grand the ne cropolis, however beautifully parterred the family grounds, we want them all broken up by the Lord of the resurrec- tion. The forms that we laid away with our broken hearts must rise again. Father and mother-they must come out. Husbands and wives--they must come out. Brothers and sisters-they must come out. Our darling children they must come out. The eyes that with trembling fingers we closed must open in the luster of resurrection morn. The arms that we folded in death must join ours in embrace of reunion. The be- loved voice that was hushed must be re- tuned. The beloved form must come up without it's infrmities, without it's fa- tigues-it must come up. Oh, how long it seems for some of you Waiting waiting for the resurrection How long! How long I make for your broken hearts today a cool, soft bandage of lilies. I comfort you this day with the thought of resurrection. .s
 Resurrection. 4
 When Lord Nelson was buried in St. Paul's cathedral in London, the heart of all England was stirred The process sion passed on amid the sobbing of a nation. There were 80 trumpeters sta tioned at the door of the cathedral with instruments of music in hand waiting for the signal, and when the illustrious dead arrived at the gates of St. Paul's cathedral these 80 trumpet CTS gave one united blast, and then all was silent. Yet the trumpets did not wake the dead He slept right on. But 1 have to tell you, what 80 trumpeters could not do for one man one trumpeter will do for all nations. The ages have rolled on and the clock of the worlds destiny strikes Q, 10, II, 12, and time shall be no longerl Behold the arch angel lowering He takes the trumpet, points it this way, puts its lips to his lips, and then blows one long, loud, terrific, thunderous, reverberating and resurrectionary blast Look, look They rise The dead, the deadi Some com ing forth from the family vault, some from the city cemetery, some from the country graveyard. Here a spirit is joined to its body, and there another spirit is joined to another body, and millions of departed spirits are assort- ing the bodies, and then reclothing themselves in forms radiant for ascen- sion. ..#
 The earth begins to burn, the bonfire of a great victory. All ready now for the procession of reconstructed human ityl Upward and away Christ leads and all the Christian dead follow, bat talion after battalion, nation after na- tion. Up, upi On. onl Forward, ye ranks of God Almighty Lift up your heads, ye everlasting gates, and let the conquerors come in Resurrection Resurrection .s. .s.. -. <
 And so twist all the festal flowers of the chapels and cathedrals of all Christendom into one great chain, and with that chain bind the Easter morn ing of 1899 with the closing Easter of the worlds history--resurrection May the God of peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the covenant make you perfect in every good work to do his will!
