MONDAY sun is dun and dim and
| stupid compared with the outflaming
glories of the countenances of the
saved. When those faces of the
righteous, those r~esurrected faces,
turn toward the gate or look up to-
ward the throne, it will be like the
dawning of a new morning on the
bosom of everlasting day. o glorious,
resurrected body!
But l remark, plso, in regard to that
body which you are to get in the resur-
r~ection. it will be an important body.
These bodies are wasting away. Some
body has said that as soon as we begin
to live we begin to die. Unless we keep
putting the fuel into the furnace the
furnace dies out. The blood vessels
are canals taking the breadstuffs 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 CT the grave But, blessed be
God, in the resurrection we will get a

me tell you of the resurrected body,
free from all disease. immortal I'm
mortal!
l go further and say in regard to
that body which you are to get in the
resurrection, it will be a vigorous body.
We walk now eight or ten miles. and
we are fatigued; we lift a few hundred
pounds, and we are exhausted; I'M
armed, we meet a wild beast, and we
must run or flee or climb or dodge be-
cause we are incompetent to meet it,;
we toll eight or ten hours energentical-
ly, and then we are weary. But in the
resurrection we are to have a body
that never gets tired. Is it not a glori-
Gus thought?
Plenty of occupation in Heaven. I
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

tons on which God shall send forth
His children. Plenty to do, but no
fatigue. If you are seated under the
trees of life, it will not be to rest, but
to talk over with some old comrade old
times-the battles where you fought
shoulder to shoulder.
Sometimes in this world we feel we
would like to have such a body as that.
There is so much work to be done for
Christ, there are sc many tears to be
wiped away, there are so many bur-
dens to life, there is so much to be
achieved for Christ, we sometimes
wish that from the first of January to
the last of December we could toll on
without stopping to sleep or to take
any GttItutlOH UT W resi- OF EVEN u
take food-that we could toll right on
without stopping a moment in our
work of commencing Christ and
Heaven to all the people. But we al
get tired. 1t is a characteristic of the
human body in this condition; we must
get tired. Is it not a glorious thought
that we are going to have a body that

resurrection day! Gladly will I fins
aside this poor body of sin and fling
it into the tomb if at thy bidding
shall have a body that never wearies
That is n splendid resurrection hymn
that we have all sung:
So Jesus slept. Gods dying Son
Passed through the grave and blessed TIL
bed.
Rest here, blest saint, till from His thron,
The morning breaks to pierce the shade
O blessed resurrection! Speak out
sweet flowers, beautiful flowers
While YOU tell of a risen Christ tell O.
the righteous who shall rise. MayGoC
fill you this morning with anticipa

| heard of a father and son wht
among others were shipwrecked a
sea. The father and the son climbed
into the rigging. The father held on
but the son after awhile lost his holt
on the rigging and was dashed down
The father supposed he had gone hope

the father was brought ashore from
the rigging in an exhausted state ant
