BY REV. w. s. SAYRES.

S0A T a man die shall he live
Il VI Y again." has been the ques-
Q 9 ton of the ages. Men have
tried in vain to answer it.
% Philosophers have reas-
oned, poets have dreamed,
great souls have hoped. but all with
out any certainty. The analogies of
nature, the requirements of justice,
the of artistic or scientific unity.
have shown the probability OF immor-
tally. and that only to the few. But
fhere was no convincing proof of any
thing beyond the grave. Man was al
animal, and like an animal he must
cease to exist. The dramatist, indeed,
had visions of a dreary. shadowy exist
-cnce in the underworld, but it was
only the life of ghosts, and was not to
be compared e with the present life.
Most touching, indeed, were the cpl
tarhs IN heather graves, Farewell
Forever, O Brother" The world was
full of those who longed "for the
touch of a vanished hand and the sound
of a voice that was still" Difficult, in
deed, is it for us to put ourselves in
the position of those who knew of no
future life. The gloom of a limited eX-
istence was unrelieved by any back
ground of light. This world was all.
There was no hope. Some few, like
the Stoics, proudly made the best of
1t and when life became too hard ended
1t by sel~f-destruction. Some, like the
Epicureans, adopted the motto, "Let us
eat and drink, for tomorrow we die"
A rare few, like Plato, hoped against
hope.
The effect of this on morals was ter
rible, and degrading. The animus of
fdolatry was either fear, or lust, or
both conjoined. The unknown gods
were to be p%lacated, at first by offer
ings, and at last by iniquity.
But when at last, Gin the fulness of
tlme," when the world had had time
to prove its helplessness and the fulfil
1ty of its systems, and was ready for
the truth, the light came.
Beautiful as a vision, sweet as q
song, was the story Of the resurrection
The glory of the risen Christ be-
wildered the world with it's unspeak-
able gladness. Men had not looked for
this. The golden light streamed all
at once through the open gates of
Heaven, and in that light the enigmas
OF life were clearly read. Human life
was not a tragedy, but a poem, a
drama, where the last act was an end
less life OF glory and activity. The
old faiths were but the broken tomb,
the empty grave clothes, that broken
bands that had blinded and fettered
human life and freedom. What
wonder then that the disciples eagerly
sped into all the lands preaching the
resurrection, carrying the good news
of the victory over death into the for.

The Lesson of the Season.

Ages pass. but each returning Easter
brings again its lessons of sacrifice. of
unseltishness and of great love for hui
mainly. Great snowy banks of lilies,
emblems of purity, are offered in re-
membrance of the greatest self-abne-
cation in the history of the world. In
vast cathedral and modest chapel vi
brates the majestic music of praise for
the most wonderful resurrection, upon
which is based the faith Of the might
lest peoples Of the earth.

opportunity, will doubtless be satisfied
Satisfied! Satisfied! The spirits yearning
For sweet companionship with kindred
minds;
The silent love that here meets no return
ing,
The inspiration which no language finds"
But will all men have this happy
Immortality, OF will it be restricted by
conditions? This is a question for the
theologians. Science teaches that the
fittest survive, and the teachings of
the risen Lord make Him the only
source of the resurrection. The only
man who has yet arisen makes per-
sonal relationship of some sort with
Himself to be indispensable, but it may
be postulated that the demands of ma
ture and Of revelation will be found
identical, since both are from the same
author. 1t may also be suggested
that to persons who are criminal, vic
ious, satanic, an infinite p~rolongation
of life, with no change of character.
would mean an infinite development of
unhappiness.
Good work is never wasted when life
is viewed as a preparation for eternity.
Nothing we learn is TO be lost. but will
have it's fruitage by and by. Benve-
nuto Cellini, the famous artist. when
asked why he had spent SO many
weeks making a certain miniature cary
ing on a gem. replied that he expected
to live forever, and a few weeks was
well spent in preparing himself for the
future.
And so the old problem has been
solved, and we rejoice at the Easter
season, which preserves the historical
TESTIMONY of the fact of the resurrec-
ton. Our bodies may indeed sleep in
the grave, but our souls shall rest in
consciousness until the perfect con
summation of the general resurrection.
There is no death.
What seems so is transition.
This life Of mortal breath
Is but the suburb of the dark elysian
Whose portal we call death"

I only crouched down in the gloom to
weep.
steep,
Tears and repining blinded all my sight.
The perfume of the lilies soothed each
sense.
I slept and dreamed, the hours throbbed
on and On.
A song-bird woke me c%aroiing its lay,
The dew-gemmed flowers caught the frank
incense
Of chime and song; it was the Easter dawn
And love had rolled the stone of grief
away.

the plains of Asia and the isles of the
sea. What wonder that the new be-
lief inspired enthusiasm, extinguished
the pains of martyrdom. and converted
the empire itself. The knowledge of a
future life brought a new force into
the world. Modern civilization is the
present, but not the final result. Mans
horizon was enlarged until it vas
bounded only by %infinity. The expan-
sive power of the resurrection on hui
man thought and life can hardly be
measured. Human progress dates from
the resurrection. The burdens of life
are lightened. In the perspective of
eternity. the world assume it's proper
size. Present sorrow may be endured

ing Death becomes a mere incident.
a passing onward. Il new birth. the
grave but the gateway of life. The eff
feet was also seen at once in morals.
Crime. injustice. wrong, would be
Judged. Responsibility would be de-
manded. The new life might be missed
through moral Unfitness and unrcpent-
cd %vileneSs.
The resurrection of Christ was lack
ing in nothing to make it complete and
attractive. 1t was not only a rising
OF the spirit, but of the body as we'll.
and the new body was not the natural
body, but that body s~piritua1ized, en-
doWed with new powers, independent
of earthly forces and restrictions, and
yet real and tangible. 1t was not a
phantom, but changed indeed in ma
ture, still recognizable as the same in
appearance and feature as before, with
the print of the nails and the wounded
side. Without this, indeed. the resur-
rection would have been incomplete.
A ghostly existence had no attractive
ness for us. The perfect man consists
of body and spirit, and with the capac-
ity to realize again the touch of the
vanished hand and to hear the sound
of the voice that was still. Thus future
recognition becomes a certainty and
progress a necessity.
1t is interesting to conjecture what
will be the nature of our future condi-
ton and occupations. We can do this
only partially. The child cannot COM
prehend the mans thought, nor the
animal, the mans. But we may be-
lieve that each soul will find some
work that is congenial and in the line
of present tastes. The universe is so
inconceivably vast that there will be
an infinite scope for every man to eXer-
else his genius. There will be no idle
ness, for activity is necessary for hap
piness. Nor will men of a practical
turn be required to spend an eternity
playing on harps. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that men with a talent for
leadership and governing will have
some field in which to govern and lead.
"Ye shall judge angels" The teacher
may teach in other worlds. Those who
love to minister in works of mercy, to
alleviate suffering, may find employ
ment in their special calling.
Music, poetry, art, science, philosophy
will not be lost out of that life, and
the artistic creator may be employed
in fashioning new worlds. In fine.

BILE and probable fields of future ac-
tivity. Powers and capacities that are
here felt, but are dormant for want of
