 The sermon was as follows:
 Lord to His disciples. and through them to His followers in every age. It Is fitting we should consider them this day. of all days; for the Easter & com tSe Resurrection. but also with the future life without a resurrection. Nor could our Savior tells us He has. gone to pre- Junction of these two sublime facts in that noblest of hymns. the Ire Deum; for 1t is there affirmed of Christ: nsss Mse6 of lHUa death, hauF Thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers" :" The Resurrection, then and tho place He is to prepare for us are bound to- calleth unto deep do they answer to one another.

Turn now to two of the most striking and impressive incidents recorded In Scripture. one in the Old and the other in the New Testament. Let us exam inc first that of the Old Testament.
