Beautiful floral decorations almost hid the pulpit from view, and the trreat organ grave forth its most rapturous ftrains in honor cf the day. In tho forenoon the Rev. Dr. Talmage delivered an eloquent sermon on "Easter In Greenwood. " the text being1 taken from Genesis xxiil. 17. 1$, "And th field of Hebron, which was in Mfhpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were i;i the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure unto Abraham." Here Is the first eenrotrry ever laid out. Machplah was Its name. It was an arborescent beauty, where the wound of death was bandaged with foliape. Abraham, a rich man. not bcinp able to bribe the klnjr of terrors, proposes here as far as possible to c--ver up th ravages. He had n doubt previously r."tioed this reKin. and nw that Sarah, his vif had died that remarkable person who at ninety years of ape had born to her the son Isaac and who now. aftr she had reached 127 years, had expired Abraham is negotiating for a family plot fur her last slumber.

In all foreign nations utmost genius on all sides is expended In the work of interment, mummification and incineration. Our uwn country consent to be secivl 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 inclosure, where affection has engaged sculptor's chisel and florist's spade and artificer in metals. Our ov.n city has shown its religion as well as its art in the manner which it holds the memory of those who have passed forever away by its Cypres Hills, and Its Evergreens, and its Calvary, and Holy Cross, and Friends' cemeteries.

"There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife; there they buried Isaac and liebekah. his wife, and there I buried Leah " The lteurreeii l)n. At this Easter strvlce I ask and anpwer 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 remark, it will be their supernal beautification. At certain seasons it is customary in all land to strew flowers over the mounds of the departed. It may have been suggested by the fact that Christ's tomb was in a garden. And when I say garden I do not mean a garden of the? latitudes. The late frosts of spring and the early frosts of autunn are so near each other that there are only a few months of flowers in the field. All the flowers we see todiy 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. Rut at this season and throng, 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, mlgnonrtt and sweet marjoram. In the college " at Reirut you may see Dr. font's collection of about eighteen hundred kinds of holy land flowers, while anion? trees are the :aks of frozen filme, and the tamarisk of the tropics, walnut and willow, ivy and hawthorn, ash and elder, pine and sycamore. If such floral and botanical beautle are the wild growths of the field, think of what a garden must be in Palestine! And in such a garden Jesus Christ slept after, on the roMler's spear, Ills last drop of blood had roasrulafd. And then fee how appropriate that all

our cemeteries should be floralized and tree shaded. In June ' Greenwood is Brooklyn's garden. "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 erround? On that day there will be an earthquake, and will not this split the polished Aberdeen granite as well as the plain lab that can afford but two words 'Our Mary' or 'Our Charley?'" Well; I will tell you how resurrection day will beautify all the cemterles. It will be by bringing up the face that were to us once and in our memories are to us now more beautiful than any calla lily 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 those from whom we have been parted? I do not care which way iho tree falls in the blast of the Judgment hurricane, or If the plowshare that day shall turn 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 Voice of (he Dead. The idea of the resurrection gets easier to undersuml as I hear the phonograph unroll some voice that talked into it a year ago, just before our friend's decease. You touch the lever, and then come forth the very tones, the very pong of the person that breathed into it once, but Is now departed. If a man can do that cannot Almighty God, without half trying, return the 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, and the tongue, and the throat, why not 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 the 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 tho n.uscles, ami the bones, why not the entire bodv? If man can do the phonograph. God can do the resurrection. Will it le the same lody 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 twelve years of age. when, disgusted at the presence of two warts, I took a redhot iron and burned them off and burned them out. Since ther my body has changed at least a half-dozen times, but those scars prove it is the same body.

- V e 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 1 think He can do it eleven times. Then look at the seventeen-year locusts. F'or seventeen years gone, at the end of seventeen years they appear, and by rubbing the hind leg against the wing make that rattle at which all the husbandmen and vinedressers tremble as the insectlle host

takes up the march of devastation. Resurrection every seventeen years, a wonderful fact. The (Rispel Algebra. Another consideration makes the Idea of resurrection easier. God made Adam, lie 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 a model God could make a perfect man. surely out of the extraordinary dust of 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 the 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 a God who could do things only as far as 1 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 and irake it as plain to you as that two and two make four if you will tell me how your mind, which is entirely independent of your body, can act upon your txxly so that at your will your eyes oien. or your foot walk?, or your hand is extended. So I find nothing in the bible statement concerning the resurrection that staggers me for a moment. All doubts clear from my mind. I say that the cemeteries, however beautiful now. will be more beautiful when the bodies of ur loved ones come up in the morning of the resurrection. They will come in improved condition. They will come up rested. The most of them lay down at the last very tired. How often yon have heard them sav, "I am so tired!" The fact is. it is a tired world. If I shculd go through this audi

ence and go round the world. I could not lir.d a person in any style of life ignorant of the sensation of fatigue. I do not believe that 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. Ixmg journeying, or business application, or berea verrrent, or sickness has put on you heavy weights. So the vast majority of those who went out of this world went out fatigued.

About the jHorcst 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 more especially gives quiescence to the lung and heart, that have not had ten minutes' rest from the first respiration and the first beat. The Heart's Driimhrnl. If a drummer boy were compelled in the army to it-at Ms drum for twentyfour 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. Pot under your vestment is a poor heart that began Its drumbeat for the march of life thirty or forty or sixty or eighty ears ago. and It has had no furlough by 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 goinjr until some time after your spirit has flown, for the auseultator says that after the last expiration of lung and the last throb of puls 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 where that wondrous machinery of ventricle and artery can haltr 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 lat ache, and then some of the same style of dust out of which the body of Adam was constructed may be infused Into the resurrection body. How can 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! And will not hundreds of thousands of such appearing above the Gowanus hights make Greenwood more beautiful than any June morning aftei a shower? The dust of the earth being the original material for the fashioning of the-first human being, we have to go back to the same place to get a perfect body. . - The Vnctory of the firnve.

they turn out för 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 ever saw. You put Into a factory cotton, and it comes out apparel. You put into a factory lumber and lead, and they come out pianos and organs. And so unto thi factory of the grave you put In pneumonias and consumptions, and they come out health. You put In gioans, and they come out hallelujahs. For us on the final day the most attractive places will not be the parks, or the gardens, or the palaces, but the cemeteries. We are not old in what season that day will come. If it should be winter, those who come up will be more lustrous than the snow that covered them. If In the autumn, those who come up will be more gorgeous than the woods after the frosts had penciled them. If in the

spring, the bloom on which they tread

will be dull compared with the rubicund

of their cheeks. Oh, the perfect resurrection body I Almost everybody has some defective, spot in his physical constitutiona 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 the resurrection body shall be without one weak spot, and all that the doctors and nurse3 and apothecaries of earth will thereafter have to do will be to rest without interruption after the broken nights of their earthly existence. Not only will that day be the beautiflvatlon of well kept cemeteries, but some of the graveyards that have been neglected and been the pasture ground for cattle and rooting places for 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 shall make the place of their feet glorious. From under the shadow of the church. whe;e they slumbered among nettles and mullein stalks and thistles and slabs aslant, they shall rise with a glory that shall flush the windows of the village church, and by ths 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, what an orator never did for a brilliant auditory, what obelisk never did for a king, resurrection morn will do for all the cemeteries. If We Are Ills. This Easter tells us that in Christ's resurrection our resurrection, if we are His, and the resurrection of all the pious dead, is assured, for He wan "the first fruit. of them that slept." Kenan says he did not rise, but SO Witnesses, sixty of them Christ's enemies, say He did rise, for they saw Him after He had risen. If He did not rise, how did sixty armed soldiers let Him get away? Surely sixty living soldiers ought to be able to keep one dead man! Ulessed be God! He did get away. After His resurrection Mary Magdalene saw Him. Cleopas saw Him. Ten disciples In an upper room at Jerusalem saw Him. On a mountain the eleven saw Him. Frof. Ernest Renan, who did not see Him. will excuse us for taking the testimony of the 58') who did see Him. Yes, yes, He got away. And that makes me sure that our departed loved ones anil we ourselves shall get away. Freed Himself from the shackles of clod. He is not going to leave us and ours In the lurch. There will be no doorknob on the inside of our family sepuleher, for we cannot come out of ourselves, but there is a doorknob on the outside, and that Jesus shall lay hold of. and opening will say: "Good morning! You have sbpt long enough! Arise, arise!" And then what flutter of wings, and what flash

ing of rekindled eyes, and what gladsome rushing across the family lot with cries of "Father, is that you?" "Mother, is that you?" "My darling, is that you?" "How you all have changed! The cough gone, the croup gone, the consumption gone, the paralysis gone, the weariness gone. Come, let us ascend together! The older ones first, the younger ones next! Quick now, get into line! The skyward procession has already started! Kteer now by that embankment of cloud for the nearest gate!" And as we ascend on one side the earth gets smaller until It is no larger than a mountain, and smaller until it Is no larger than a palace, and smaller until it is no larger than a ship, and smaller until it is no larger than a wheel, and smaller until it is no larger than a speck. Farewell to Earth. Farewell, dissolving earth! But on the other side as we rise heaven at first appears no larger than your hand. And nearer It looks like a chariot, and nearer it looks like a throne, and nearer It looks like a star, and nearer it looks like a sun, and nearer it looks like a universe. Hail, scepters that shall always wave! Hail, anthems that shall always roll! Hail, companionships never again to part! That is what resurrection day will do for all the cemeteries and graveyards from the Machpeiah that was opened b? Father Abraham in Hebron to the Machpeiah yesterday consecrated. And that makes Lady Huntington's immortal rhvtbm most apposite: When thou, my righteous Judge, phalt come To take thy ransomed peop'e home, 8-all I among th"m stand? Fhall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die. Be found at thy right hand? Among thy ralnts let me be found, Wneneer th' archangel's (rump shall sound. To see thy smiling face.

9. "And Jaeob said, 0 God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which aaldst unto me. Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee. " Jacob is now twenty years older than when God appeared to him in the vision at Bethel (xxxl. 41), and having been instructed to return to his own home (xxxl. 3, 13), he is now on his way thither. The angels of God have met him, and he has sent messengers to Esau to Beek his favor. The messengers have returned, saying that Esau Is coming with 400 men. Jacob is afraid, divides the people and flocks and herds into two bands, and then gives himself to prayer. 1". "I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which Thou hast showed unto Thy servant, for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two bands." He calls upon God as the God of his fathers, thinking doubtless of His covenant with them. Then he pleads God's command to return and His promise of protection, and now he taks the place of utter unworthiness nnd thinks of the contrast between now and twenty years before and of God's marvelous kindness to him, notwithstanding his great sinfulness. 11. "Deliver me. I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him lest he will come and smite me and the mother with the children." Sin is not easily forgotten, and Jacob would think of his wrong done to Esau so long ago. A guilty conscience is always afraid, whether it be in Adam or Abraham (Gen. iii. 10; xx, 11) or anyother saint or sinner. The perfect love of God to us casts out all fear (I John iv. IS), and if we will only walk in the light with Him we may sing. "Behold. God is my salvation (or deliverer), I will trust and not be afraid." sure that He will deliver us from every evil work and preserve us unto His .heavenly kingdom (Isa. xll. 2; II Tim. iv. 13). 12. "And thou saldst, I will surely do thee good and make ,thy seed as the sand of the s"a, which cannot b? numbered for multitude." This is always safe pleading "and thou saldrt," for by the spirit through Balaam we hear these words, "Hath lie said and shall He not do it, or hath He spoken and hall He not make it good?" (Num. xxlii, 19). In Isa, lxli. 6, 7, the people of God are called ills remembrances. See margin and lt. V. and note carefully w'hat we are to plead for. If we would but stand upon His promises and plead them for His glory, what would He not do? 24. "And Jacob was left alone: and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day." By comparing verse 30 and IIos. xll. 4, 5. we learn that it was the Lord himself who wrestled with Jacob, even the same who appeared or spoke to Hasar and Abraham (J?n. xvi. 13; xviii, 1); r.ot the Father, but the Son (John 1, 191. who afterward became man for us. The breaking of the day ls in the margin "ths ascending of the morning" or "the day spring" (I Sam ix. 26; job xxxviii. 12. and Is suggestive of the morning when Gcd rhall humble and then help Israel (ls. xlvi. margin). 25. "And when He saw that He prevailed not against him. He touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thiih was out of Joint as He wrestled with him." God can d little or nothing for w or with us till we are thoroughly humbled and broken down. Our wisdom and strength are always hindrancrs. "He giveth power to the fairt. and to them that have no might He Increaseth strength" (Isa. xl. 2,'t. When wt are at our wits' er.d (all our wi.-dom being swallowed up), then He delivers and shr-ws His strength on our oehalf (Ps. evil, 27 margin). The difficulty i3 to break us clown. 26. "And Ha Faid. Let me go. for the day brraketh. And ie raid, I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me." Jacob could now resist no longer, but ne could cling in his weakness, and cling he did. It is now helplessness clinging to almightlness, and the blessing will surely come. Consider Israel in Egyptian bondage, at the Red s.a, at the Jordan, at the walls of Jericho, and In all the'r history sc? hovv in all their helplessness, relying upon God, He wrought for them. Consider the miracles of the New Testament and iee how In every case it was the rower of God on behalf of impotence. 27. "And Jle said unto him, What is thy name? and he said, Jacob." Jacob signifies suppianter. and his brother E?au thought that he was well named, for he said," "lie hath supplanted me these two times, he took oway my birthright, and, behold, now he hath taken away mv blessing" (G?n. xxvii, 26). Jacob virtually confesses himself a sinfui. crooked man. and. as In verse 10, unworthy of any mercies. There is hope for the sinner, when he sees and confesses his sins (Frov. xxvili. 13). 2S. "And He said. Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, for as a prince hast thou power with God and with man, and hast prevail." The name "Israel" is found about 2.500 times !n the bible, but this Is the first time. It invariably means either the man so called or his descendants (the twelve of the ten tribes) and is misapplied when applied to the church. In the margin It is said to mean "A prince of God." but in this verse how suggestive are the words, "Power with God and with man!" And is not the secret of this power made plain by the incident of the lesson the confession- of character and helpless holding on to God? 29. "And Jacob asked Him and said. Tell me. I pray thee. Thy name, and He said. Wherefore Is it that thou dost ask after mv name? And He blessed h'm there." When Manoah asked Him Hia name. He said It was secret or wonderful (Judg. xiii, 18. margin), reminding us of His name In Isa. ix. 6. The blessing of the Lord upon the land of Israel made it bring" forth In one year fruit for three years (Lev. xxv. 21). The blessing of the Lord maketh rich, and toll addeth nothing thereto (Frov. x. 22). Consider the name of the Lord In Ex. xxxlv, 5-7. and hear our Lord Jesus in His prayer: "I have manifested Thy name. I have declared unto them Thy name" (John xvil. 6. 26). 30. "And Jacob called the name of the p'ace Penlel. tor I have seen God face to face, and my life 13 preserved." In Ex. xxiv, 10, 11, we read that the elders saw the God of Israel: they saw God and did eat and drink. In Ex. xxxlii. 11, it is written that the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend, and yet in verse 20 the Lord says, "Thou canst not see My face, for there shall no man tee Me and live." It Is probable that the explanation of these seeming contradictions is in John !, 18, where we learn that God has always manifested Himself in His Son.

WONDFRFU

l book:

The making of "Shepp's World's Fair Photographed" has absorbed the entire interest and energies of head, heart and hand of the publishers, and entails such a financial outlay as guarantees the very best results that human eyes can gaze upon. The official heads of the Exposition management would not give the seal of their approval to anything but the best, and we think the very best nom too good for our patrons. The photographs of the buildings in this book stand out clear cut as cameos against the sky. Every nice detail of ornament and design are clearly visible. Almost every mark of the chisel reveals itself clear cut as an intaglio.

In "Shepp's World's Fair Photographed," the interior views of buildings, pavilions and exhibits are distinct, definite and beautiful, defying competition. Nearly every country on the globe has paid tribute to the World's Columbian Exposition. Woman has vied with man in the splendid display made. Anchored within the walls of the "White City" lies a wealth of artistic and industrial treasure, the purchase of which would bankrupt the richest nation on earth. From snowy Alaska to Cape Horn, from the Isles of the engirdling oceans, from the nations of Europe and Asia, and even from Africa and Australia, glorious treasures have poured in in one generous avalanche. Whatever human intelligence could conceive, or human skill execute, is to be found in these treasure palaces of the world. Huge trains drawn by palpitating engines, snorting. Jn steam over thousands of miles, bore these inexhaustible riches to Chicago, for many months.
