A Glorious Thought.


body!
A Glorious Thought.
But remark also In regard to that
body which you are to get In the resur-
rection, it will be an immortal BODY.
These bodies are wasting away. Some |
body has said that as soon as we be-
gin to live we begin to die. Unless we
keep putting the fuel into the furnace
the furnace dies out. The blood ves-
sells are canals taking the breadstuns
to all parts OF the system. We must
be reconstructed hour by hour, day by
day. Sickness and death are all the
time trying to get their pry under the
tenement or to push us off the embank-
ment OF the grave. but, blessed be God,
In the resurrection we will get body
immortal. No malaria In the air. no
cough. no neuralgic twinge. no rheu'
matte pang. no hutterlng of the heart,
no shortness of breath, no ambulance,
no dispensary. no hospital. no invalids
chair. no spectacles to improve the dim
vision: but health. immortal health:
o We who have aches and pains In
describable this morning, ye who are
never well. We who are lacerated with
physical distresses. let me tell you OF
the resurrected body, free from all dis
ease. immortal! immortal!
90 further and say In regard to
that body which you are to get In the
resurrection 1t will be a vigorous body.
We walk now eight or ten miles, and
we are fatigued. We lift few hun
dred pounds, and we are exhausted.
Unarmed. we meet wild beast, ana
we must run or flee or climb or dodge,
because we are incompetent to meet
IL. We toll eight or ten hours ener-
getically. and then we are weary, but
in the resurrection we are to have a
body that never gets tired. Is 1t not
a glorious thought?
Plenty of occupation In heaven. l
suppose Broadway, New York. In the
busiest season of the year, at MONDAY
is not so busy as heaven Is all the
time. Grand projects Of mercy for
other worlds. Victories to be cele-
brated. The downfall Of despotism on
earth to be announced. Great songs
to be learned and sung. Great expedi'
tions on which God shall send rortn
his children. Plenty to do, but no
fatigue. If you are seated under the
trees of life. 1t will not be to rest. but
to talk over with some old comrade
old times. the battles where you fought
shoulder to shoulder.
when Morning Breaks.
Sometimes in this world we feel we
would like to have such body as
that. There is so much work to be
done for Christ. there are so many
tears 10 be wiDed away, there are so
many burdens to lift. there is So mucn
to be achieved for Christ. we some
times wish that from the first or Janu-
ary TO the last of December we could
toll on without stopping to sleep or to
take any recreation or to rest or even
TO take food-that we could toll right
on without stopping a moment In our
work of commencing Christ and heav'
en- to all the people. bat we all get tired
II is a characteristic Of the human body
: In this condition; we must get tired. Is
1t not a glorious thought that we are
going to have a body that will never
