1nCredlDle with you that COO should

Where did all this silk come from.
the silk that adorns your persons and
your homes? In the hollow of a staff
! of Greek missionary brought from Chi
J ma to Europe the prOgenitOrS Of those
worms that now supply the silk mar
kets of many nations. The pageantry
! of hammered host and the luxurious
articles of commercial emporium blaz-
! ing out from the silkwOrms And who
shall be surprised if out of this insig-
nificant earthly body, this insignificant
earthly life, our bodies unfold into
something worthy of the coming eter-
mites? Put silver into diluted inter.
and it dissOlves. Is the silver gone
forever? No. Put in some pieces of
copper, and the silver reappears. If
one force dissolves, another force or
ganizes.
why should it be thought a thing
incredible with you that God should
raise the dead?" The insects flew and
the worms crawled last autumn fee
bier and feebler and then stopped.
They have taken no food. They want
none. They lie dormant and insensi-
BILE, but soon the south wind will blow
the resurrection trumpet, and the air
and the earth will be full of them. Do
you not think that God can do as much

and the spiders and the snails? This
morning at half past 4 o'clock there
was resurrection. Out of the night

a resurrection in all our gardens. Why
not some day resurrection amid the
graves?
Ever and anon there are instances Of
men and women entranced. A trance
is death followed by resurrection after
few days. total suspension of mental
power and voluntary action. Rev Will
liam Tennent great evangelist of the
last generation, of whom DR.. Archi-
bald Alexander, a man far from being
sentimental, wrote in most eulOgiStc
terms-Rev. William Tennent seemed
to die. His spirit apparently left the
body. People came in day after day
and said, He is dead, he is dead"
But the soul that fled returned, and
Will Tennent lived to write what he
had seen while his soul was gone.
Excursions Into the Unknown.
1t may be found some time that what
is called suspended animation or coma
tOSe state is brief death, giving the soul
an excursion into the next world, from
which it comes back, q furlOugh of a
few hours granted from the conflict Of
life to which it must return. Do not

this waking up of insects from winter
lifelessness 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 reveile? Psychologists tell us
that while the most of our bodies are
: built with such wonderful economy
that we can spare nothing, and the loss
t jury of Il toe joint makes us lame still
that we have two or three useless phys

! psychologist has ever been able to tell
: what they are good for. They may be
the foundat ton of the resurrection body
' worth nothing to us in this state to be
t Indispensable valuable in the next
) state. The Jewish rabbits and the sci
I entists of our day have found out that
there are two or three superfuities OF
