SERMON PREACHED BY DR. TALMAGE SUNDAY, APRIL 6, 1890.
The World's First Cemetery—Resurrection Day Will Honutify All the Cemeteries. Tlie Dead Will lUsu Rested and More
Heantifut Than Kver liefore..
BROOKLYN, April G.—Tho Academy of Music \v:is.appropriately decoratcd today for Easter service, and the regular artists of the Brooklyn Tabernacle were assisted by eminent musical performers. The hymn sung before sermon was:
Wo praise thee, O God, for the Son of thy love, For Jesus who died and is now gone above.
The subject of Dr. Taluiage's sermon was"Machpelah or, Easter Thoughts." It was based ou the words in Gen. xxiii 17,18: "And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpeluh, which was before Mamre, the held and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure unto Abraham." Following is the sermon in full:
THE FIRST CEMETERY.
Here is the first cemetery ever laid out. Machpelah was its name. It was an arborescent beauty, where the wound of death was bandaged with foliage. Abraham, a rich man, not being able to bribe the King of Terrors, proposes here, as far as possible, to cover up his ravages. He had no doubt previously noticed this region, and now that Sarah his wife had diea —that remarkable person who at ninety years of age had born to her the son Isaac, and who now, after she had reached oue hundred and twenty-seven years, had expired—Abraham is negotiating for a family plot for her last slumber. Ephron owned this real estate, and after, in mock sympathy for Abraham, refusing to take anything for it, now sticks on a big price—four hundred shekels of silver. This cemetery lot is paid for, and the transfer made, in tne presence of witnesses in a public place, for there were no deeds and no halls of record in those early times. Then in a cavern of limestone rock Abraham put Sarah, and, a few years after, himself followed, and then Isaac and Rebekah, and then Jacob and Leah. Embowered, picturesque and memorable Machpelah 1 That "God's acre" dedicated by Abraham has been the mother of innumerable mortuary observances. The necropolis of every civilized land has vied with its metropolis.
The most beautiful hills of Europe outside the great cities are covered with obelisk and funeral vase and arched gateways and columns and parterres in honor of the inhuinated. The Appian Way of Rome was bordered by sepulchral commemorations. For this purpose Pisa has its arcades of marble sculptured into exquisites bas reliefs and the features of dear faces that have vanished. Genoa has its terraces cut into tombs and Constantinople covers with cypress the silent habitations and Paris has its Pere-La-chaise, on whose height rests Balzac and David and Marshal Ney and Cuvier and La Place and Moliere, and a mighty group of warriors and poets and painters and musicians. In all foreign nations utmost genius on all sides is expended in the work of interment, mummification and incineration.
AMEMCA'S HANDSOME CEMETERIES. Our own qountry consents to be second to none in respect to the lifeless body. Every city and town and neighborhood of any intelligence or virtue has, not many miles away, its sacred in closure, where affection lias engaged sculptor's chisel and florist's spade and artificer in metals. Our own city has shown its religion as well as its art, in the manner in wliich it holds the memory of those who have passed forever away, by its Cypress Hills and its Evergreens and its Calvary and Holy Cross and Friends' cemeteries. All the world knows of our Greenwood, with now about two hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants sleeping among hills that overlook the sea, and by lakes embosomed in an Eden of flowers, our American Westminster Abbey, an Acropolis of mortuary architecture, a Pantheon of mighty ones ascended, elegies in stone, Iliads in marble, whole generations in peace waiting for other generations to join them. No dormitory of breathless sleepers in all the world has so many mighty dead.
Among preachers of the gospel, Bethuue and Thomas De Witt, and Bishop Janes and Tyng, and Abeel the missionary, and Beecner and Buddington and McClintock and Inskip and Bangs and Chapin and Noah Schenck and Samuel Hanson Cox. Among musicians, the renowned Gottschalk and the holy Thomas Hastings. Among the philanthropists, Peter Cooper and Isaac T. Hopper and Lucretia Mott and Isabella Graham, and Henry Bergh, the apostle of mercy to the brute creation. Among the literati, the Carys, Alice and Phcebe, James K. Paulding and John G. Saxe. Among journalists, Bennett and Raymond and Greeley. Among scientists, Ormsby Mitchel, warrior as well as astronomer, and lovingly called by his soldiers "Old Stars": the Drapers, splendid men, as I well know, one of them my teacher, the other my classmate.
Among inventors, Elias Howe, who, through the sewing machine, did more to alleviate the toils of womanhood than any man that ever lived, and Professor Morse, who gave us magnetic telegraphy the former doing his work with the needle, the latter with the thunderbolt. Among physicians and surgeons, Joseph C. Hutchinson, and Marion Sims, and Dr. Valentine Mott, with the following epitaph whiob. he ordered cut in honor of the Uhrla-
and Amen." This is our American Machpelah, as sacred to us as the Machpelah in Canaan, of which Jacob uttered that pastoral poem in one verse: "There they buried Abraham, and Sarah his they buriea
Isaac, and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.
THE WORK OF RESURRECTION DAli.
At this Easter service I ask and answer what may seem a novel question, but it will be found, before
I
get
through, a practical and useful and tremendous question: What will resurrection day do for the cemeteries? First, I remarket will be their supernal beautitieatiou. At certain seasons it is customary in all lands to strew flowers over the mounds of the departed. It may have been suggested jy the fact that Christ's tomb was in a garden. And when I say garden I do not mean a garden of these latitudes. The late frosts of spring and the early frosts of autumn are so near to each other that there are only a few months of flowers in the field. All the flowers we see today had to be petted and coaxed and put under shelter or they would not have bloomed at all. They are the children of the conservatories. But at this season, and through the most of the year, the Holy Land is all ablush with floral opulence. You find all the royal family of flowers there, some that you supposed indigenous to the far north, and others indigenous to the far south—the daisy and hyacinth, crocus and anemone, tulip and water lily, geranium and ranunculus, mignonette and sweet marjoram.
In the college at Beyrout you may :see Dr. Post's collection of about eighteen hundred kinds of Holy Land flowers while among the trees are the oak of frozen climes, and the tamarisk of the tropics, walnut and willow, ivy and hawthorn, ash and elder, pine and sycamore. If such floral and botani-
cal beauties are the wild growths of the fields think of what a garden must be in Palestine! And in such a garden Jesus Christ slept after, on the soldier's spear. His last drop of blood had coagulated. And then see how appropriate that all our cemeteries should be fioralized and tree shaded. In June, Greenwood is Brooklyn's garden.
IT WILL BEAUTIFY THEM. "Well, then," you say, "how can you make out that the Resurrection day will beautify the cemeteries? Will it not leave them a plowed up ground? On that day there will be an earthquake, and will not this split the polished Aberdeen granite, as well as the plain slab that can afford but the two words, 'Our Mary,' or 'Our Charley?'" Well, I will tell you how Resurrection day will beautify all the cemeteries. It will be by bi-inging up the faces that were to us once, and in our memories are to us now, more beautiful than any callalily, and the forms that are to us more graceful than any willow by the waters. Can you think of anything more beautiful than the reappearance of thoso from whom we have been parted? I do not care which way the tree falls in the blast of the judgment hurricane, or if the plowshare that day shall turn under the last rose leaf and the last China aster, if out of the broken sod shall come the bodies of our loved ones not damaged, but irradiated.
The idea of the resurrection gets easier to understand as I hear the phonograph unroll some voice that talked into it or sung into it a year ago, just before our friend's decease. You turn the wire, and then come forth the very tones, the very accentuation, the very cough, the very song of the person that breathed into it once, but is now departed.. If a man can do that, cannot Almightv God, without half trying, return tne voice of your departed? And if he can return the voice, why not the lips and the tongue and the throat that fashioned the voice? And if the lips dnd tho tongue and the throat, why not then the brain that suggested the words? And if the brain, why not the nerves, of* which the brain is the headquarters? And if he can return tho nerves, why not the muscles, which are less ingenious? And if the muscles, why not the bones, that are less wonderful! And if the voice and the brain and the muscles and the bones, why not the entire body? If man can do the phonograph, God can do the resurrection. Will it be the same body that in the last day shall be reanimated? Yes, but infinitely improved.
Our' bodies change every seven years, and yet, in one sense, it is the same body. On my wrist and the second finger of my right hand there is a scar. I made that at 12 years of age, when, disgusted at the presence of two warts, I took a red hot iron and burned them off, and burned them out. Since then my body has changed at least a half dozen times, but those scars prove it is the same body. And we never lose our identity. If God can and does sometimes rebuild a man five, six, ten times, in this world, is it mysterious that he can rebuild him once more, and that in the resurrection? If he can do it ten times, I think he can dp it eleven times. Then look at the seventeen year locusts. For seventeen years gone, at the end of seventeen years they appear, and by rubbing the hind leg against the wing make tliat rattle at which all the husbandmen and vine dressers tremble as the insectile host takes up the march of devastation. Resurrection every seventeen years I
THE IDEA OF RESURRECTION EASY. Another consideration makes the idea of resurrection easier. God made Adam. He was not fashioned after any model. There had never been a human organism, and so there was nothing to copy. At the first attempt God made a perfect man. He made him out of the dust of the earth. If out of ordinary dust of the earth and without '& model God could make a perfect man, surely out of the extraordinary dust of the mortal body, and with millions of models, God can make each one^of us a perfect being in the resurrection. Surely the last undertaking would not be greater than tho first. See the gospel algebra: ordinary dust minus a model equals a perfect man extraordinary dust and plus a model equals a resurrection body. Mysteries about it? Oh, yes that is one reason why I believe it It would not be much of God who could do things only as far as I can understand. Mysteries? Oh, yes but no more about the resurrection of your body than about its present existence.
I will explain to you the last mystery of the resurrection, ana make it as plain to you as that two and two make four, if you will tell me how your mind, winch is entirely independent of your body, can act upon your body so that at your will your eyes open, or your foot walks, or your hand is extended. So I find notiiing tho Bible statement concerning the resurrection that staggers me lor a moment. All doubts clear from my mind, I say that the cemeteries, however beautiful now, will be mora Deautiful when the bodies of our loved ones come up.
THEY WILL COME UP RESTED. They will come in improved condition. They will come up rested. Tho most of them lay down at the last very tired. IIow often you have heard them say, "I am so'tired!" Tho fact is it is a tired world. If I should go through this audience, and go round the world, I could not find a person in any .style of life ignorant of the sensation of fatigue. 1 do not believe there are fifty persons in this audience who are not' tired. Your head is tired, or your back is tired, or your foot is tired, or your brain is tired, or your nerves are tired. Long
{'ourneying,
or business application, or
lereavement, or sickness nave put on you heavy weights. So tho vast majority of those who went out of this world went out fatigued. About the poorest place to rest in is this world. Its atmosphere, its surroundings, and even its hilarities are exhausting. So God stops our earthly life, and mercifully closes tho eyes, and quiets the feet, and folds the hands, and more especially gives quiescence to the lung and heart, that have not had ten minutes' nest from tho first respiration JV.HI tho first beat.
If a drummer boy were compelled in the army to beat his drum for twen-ty-four hours without stopping, his officer would be court martialed for cruelty. If the drummer boy should be commanded to beat his drum for a week without ceasing, day and night, he would die in attempting it. But under your vestment is a poor heart that began its drum beat for the march of life thirty or forty or sixty or eighty years ago, and it has had no furlough Dy day or night and, whether in conscious or comatose state, it went right on, for if it had stopped seven seconds your life would have closed. And your heart will keep going until some time after your spirit has flown, for the auscultator says that after tho last expiration of lung and the last throb of pulse, and after the spirit is released, the heart keeps on beating for a time. What a mercy then it is that the grave is the place wliero that wondrous machinery of ventricle and artery can haltl
Under the healthful chemistry of the soil all the wear and tear of nerve and muscle and bone will be subtracted and that bath of good, fresh, clean soil will wash off the last ache, and then some of the same style of dustoufeof which the body of Adam was constructed may be infused into tl»e resurrection body. How cali the bodies of the human race, which have had no replenishment from the dust since the time of Adam in paradise, get any recuperation from the storehouse from which he was constructed without our going back into the dust? That original, life giving material having been added to the body as it once was, and all the defects left behind, what a body will be the resurrection body 1 And will not hundreds of thousands of such appearing above the Gowanus heights make Greenwood more beautiful than any June morning after a shower?
The dust of the earth being the original material for the fashioning of tne first human being, we have to go back to the same place to get a perfect body. Factories are apt to DO rough places, and those who toil in them have their garments grimy and their hands smutched. But who cares for that, when they turn out for us beautiful musical instruments or exquisite upholstery! What though the grave is a rough place, it is a resurrection body manufactory, and from it shall come the radiant and resplendent forms of our friends on the brightest morning the world saw ever. You put into a factory cotton, and it comes out apparel. You put into a factory lumber and lead, and it comes out pianos and organs. And so into tho factory of the grave you put in pneumoniae and consumptions, and they come out health. You put in groans, and they come out hallelujahs. For us, on tho final day, the most attractive places will not be the parks or tho gardens or the palaces, but the cemeteries.
THE BEAUTIES OF THE RISEN. We are not told in what season that day will come. If it should be winter, thoso who come up will bo more lustrous than the snow thai covered them. If in tho autumn, those who como up -will be more gorgeous than the woods after the frosts have penciled them. If in the spring, tho bloom on which they tread will bo dull compared with the rubicund of their cheeks. Oh tho perfect resurrection body I Almost every one has some defective spot in his physical constitution: a dull ear, or a dim eye, or a rheumatic foot, or a neuralgic brow, or a twisted muscle, or a weak side, or an inflamed tonsil, or some point at which the east wind or a season of overwork assaults him. But tho resurrection body shall be without one weak spot, and all that the doctors and nurses and apothecaries of earth will thereafter have to do will bo to rest without interruption after the broken nights of their earthly existence. Not only will that day be the beatification of well kept cemeteries, but somo of the graveyards that have been neglected, and been the pasture
?[round
for cattle and looting places
or swine, will for the first time have attractiveness given them. It was a shame that in that place ungrateful generations planted no trees, and twisted no garlands, and sculptured no marble for their Christian ancestry but on the day of which I speak the resurrected sliall make tho place of their feet glorious. From under the shadow of the church, where they slumbered among nettles and mulleu stalks and thistles, and slabs
aslant, they shall rise with a gio that iihall flush the windows of the village church, and by the bell tower that used to call them to worship, and above the old spire beside which their prayers formerly ascended. What triumphal procession never did for a street, what an oratorio never did for an academy, wjiat an orator never did for a brilliant auditory, what obelisk

This Easter tells us that in Christ's resurrection our resurrection, if wo are his, and the insurrection of all the pious dead is assured, for he was "the first fruits of them that slept." Renan says he did not rise, but live hundred and eighty witnesses, sixty of theiu Christ's enemies, say he did rise, for they saw him after lie had risen. If ho aid not rise, how did sixty armed soldiers let him get away? Surely sixty living soldiers ought to bo" ame to keep one dead man! Blessed bo God I he did got away. After his resurrection Mary Magdalene saw hiin. Cleopas saw him. Ten disciples in an upper room at Jerusalem saw nim. On a mountain the eleven saw him. Five hundred at once saw him. Professor Ernest Renan, who did not seo him, will excuse us for taking tho testimony of the fivo hundred and eighty who did see him.. Yes, yes he got away. And that makes me sure that our departed loved ones and we ourselves shall get away. Freed himself from the shackles of clod, lie is not going to leave us and ours in the lurch.
