busiest season of the year at noonday
is not SO busy as heaven is all the time
Grand projects of mercy for Other
worlds Victories to be celebrated
The downfall of despotism on earth tc
be announced. Great songs to be learn
ed and sung. Great expeditions on
which God shall send forth his child
rem. Plenty to do, but no fatigue. If you
are seated under the trees of life, ii
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 so many
tears to be wiped away, there are SO
many burdens to life, there is SO much
to be achieved for Christ, we some
times wish that from the first of 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
heaven to all the people. But we all
human body in this condition; we must
get tired. Is it not a glorious thought
that we are going to have body that
will never grow weary? o glorious
resurrection day! Gladly will 1 fling
aside this poor body of sin and fling
it into the tomb if at thy bidding 1
shall have a body that never wearies.
That is a splendid resurrection hymn
that b.va all SuDO-
So Jesus slept. Gods dying Son
Passed through the grave and bless
ed the bed.
Rest here, blest saint, till from his
The morning breaks to pierce the
shade
The Risen Savior.
o blessed resurrection Speak out,
sweet flowers, beautiful flowers. While
you tell of risen Christ tell of the
righteous who shall rise. May God fill
you this morning with anticipation
I heard of father and son who
among others were shipwrecked at sea.
The father and son climbed into the
rigging. The father held on, but the
son after awhile lost his hold on the
father supposed he had gone hopeless
ly under the wave. The next day the
father was brought ashore from the
rigging in an exhausted state and laid
on bed in a fisherman's hut, and after
many hours had passed he came to
consciousness and saw lying beside
him on the same bed his boy. Oh, my
| friends, what a glorious thing it will
be if we wake up at last to find our
loved ones beside US, coming up from
the same plot in the graveyard, coming
up in the same morning light-the
father and son alive forever, all the
loved ones alive forever, never more
to weep, never more to part, never
more to die.
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 everlasting
covenant make you perfect in every
good work, to do his will, and let the
associations of this morning transport
our thoughts to the grander assem-
blage before the throne. The one hun
dred and forty and four thousand and
the great multitude that no man car
number some of our best friends
among them, we after awhile to join
the multitude. Glorious anticipation!
| Blest are the saints beloved of God;
Washed are their robes in Jesus blood
| Brighter than angels. 10, they shine,
Their wonders splendid and sublime.
Ny soul anticipates the day,
Would stretch her wings and soal
away
To aid the song. the palm to bear,
And bow, the chief of sinners, there.
