this waking up of men from trance and
this waking up of insects from winter
Hfelessness and this waking up of
grains buried 5000 years ago make it
easier for you to believe that your body
and mine after the vacation Of the
grave shall rouse and rally. though
there be 5000 years between our last
breath and the sounding of the arch
angelic reveille? Psychologists tell US
that while the most of our bodies are
built with such wonderful economy
that we can spare nothing, and the loss
Of a finger is a Underwent, and the in
jury of u toe joint makes us lame, still
that we have two or three useless phys
ical apparatuses. and no anatomist or
Psychologist has ever been able to tell
what they are good for. They may be
the foundation Of the resurrection body,
worth nothing to US in this state to be
indispensably valuable in the next
state. The Jewish rabbis and the sci
entists Of our day have found out that
there are two or three superfuities Of
body that are something gloriously sug-
gestive of another state.
| called at my friends house one
summer day. l found the yard all pill
ed up with the rubbish of carpenters
and mason's work. The door was off.
The plumbers had torn up the floor
The roof was being lifted in cupOla.
All the pictures were gone. and the
paper hangers were doing their work
All the modern Improvements were be-
ing introduced into that dwelling.
There was not a room in the house fit
to live in at that time, although a
month before when l visited that house
everything was so beautiful / could
not have suggested an improvement.
My friend had gone with his family
to the Holy Land. expecting to come
back at the end of six months. when
the building was to be done. And, oh,
what was his joy when at the end OF
six months he returned and found the
old house had been enlarged and i'm
proved and glorifed. That is your
body. 1t looks well nOw-all the rooms
filled with health, and we could hard.
ly make a suggestion. But after awhile
your soul will go to the Holy Land.
and while you are gone the old house
of your tabernacle will be entirely re-
! constructed from cellar to attic and
every nerve, muscle and bone and It's
sue and artery must be hauled over
and the old structure will be FURNISHED
and adorned and raised and cupOlaed
| and enlarged. and all the improve
ments of heaven introduced, and you
will move into it on resurrection day.
For we know that if our earthly house
| of this tabernacle were dissolved we
have a building of God. a house not
\ made with hands, eternal in the heav-
| ems" Oh, what a day when body and
soul meet again They are very fond
of each other. Did your body ever have
pain and your soul not pity it. or your
body have Il JOY and your soul not re
echo it, or, changing the question, did
/ your soul ever have any trouble and
your body not sympathize with it,
| growing wan and weak under the de.
| pressing influence? Or did your soul
ever have a gladness but your body
| celebrated it with kindled eye and
cheek and elastic step? Surely Goo
never intended two such good friends
to be very long separated.
The Final Victory.
And so when the worlds last Easter
morning shall come the soul will de
scend, crying. "Where is my bOdy?'
And the body will ascend. saying
where is my sOul?' And the Lord O
the resurrection will bring them to
gether. and it will be a perfect soul il
a perfect body, introduced by perfect
Christ into a perfect heaven. VictOryl
Do you wonder that on Easter day we
swathe our churches with garlands
Do you wonder we celebrate it with
the most consecrated voice of song
that we can invite, with the deftest
fingers on organ and cOrnet and with
dOXologies that beat these arches with
the pillows of sound as the sea smites
the basalt at Giants Causeway? Only
