RESURRECTION DAY. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage’s Easter'tide Discourse. What Will the Day of Resurrection Do for the Cemeteries?—The Last Mystery of the Resurrection Made Plain. Eastertide was productive of the following sermon by Kev. T. DeWitt Talmagte in the Brooklyn tabernacle. Ilis subject was: “Easter in Greenwood,” and the text: And th(N(iel(l of Ephron. which was In Machpelah, whiclK was before Mamre, the field and the cave whicli was therein, and all the trees that were in \hc field, that were In all the borders roundabout. wore made sure unto Abraham.—Genesis xxiii., 17, 18. Here is IhA first 'cemetery ever laid out. MacluJeloh was its name. It was beauty, where the wouna 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 the ravages. He had no doubt previously noticed this region, and now that Sarah, his wife, had died—that remarkable person, who, at ninety years of age, had born to her the son Isaac, and who now, after she had reached one hundred and twenty-sevon years, had rU.Vpired—Abraham is /negotiating* foV a family plot for her/as t slumher. ICjwiron owned this %*eal estate, amd after, in mock sympathy for refusing* to take anything* for it, iimV 5 sticks on a big: price —four hundred sheckelstf>C silver- The cemetery lot is pa it nd the trail.sfew* .made, in the 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 AbnftYhni put Sarah, and a few years after himself followed, and then-Isaac and lJebekali, and then .Jacob and Leah. Embowered, picttHjpsqiie and memorable Mu oil pel ah! That “God’s acre’’ dedicated by Ahraharti has been the mother* of innumerable inortury 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 inliumated. The Appian Way of Rome -was bordered by sepulchral commemorations. For this purpose-Fisa has its arcades of marble sculptured -into excellent has reliefs and the - fen tunes 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 Fere la Chaise, on whose heights vest Balzac, and David, and Marshal Ney, and Cuvier, and La Place, and Molicre, and a mighty group of warriors, and painters, and musicians. In all foreign nations utmost g'ojiius on all sides is expanded in the work of interment, mummification and iik*inerafcioii. Our own country consents to lie 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 inclosurc, where affection has 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 which it holds the memory of those who have passed forever away, by its Cypress Jlills, and its Evergreens, and its Calvary, and Holy Cross cemeteries. All the world knows of our Greenwood, with now about two hundred and seventy-five thousand inhabitants sleeping among the hills that overlook the sea, and by lakes, embosomed in an Eden of flowers, our American Westminster Abbey, ah 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 or breathless sleepers in all the world lias so many mighty dead. Among the preachers of the Gospel, Betlnme and Thomas DeWitt, and Hishop .lanes and Tvng, and Abeel, the missionary, and Reedier and Haddington, and- McCHntock and Inskip, and Hangs and Chapin, and Noah fSehenck and Samuel Hudson Cox. Among musicians, the renowned GottSchalk and the holy Hastings. Among philanthropists, Peter Cooper and Isaac T. Hopper, and Eucrctia Mott and Isabella Graham, and Henry Bergli, the apostle of mercy to the brute creation. Among the literati, the Carys, Alice ami Pine be; James K. Paulding and John G. Saxe. Among journalists, Hen nett and Raymond and Greeley- Among scientists, Ormsby Mitchell, warrior as well as astronomer, and lovingly called by his soldiers “Old Stars.” Prof. Proctor and the Drapers, splendid'men, as I well know, one of them my teacher, the other my class-mate. Among inventors, Elias Ilowe, who thrpugh the sewing, machine, did more to alleviate the toils of womanhood than any man thut’ever lived, and Prof. 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 which he ordered cut in honor of Christian religion: “My implicit faith and hope is in a merciful Redeemer, who is the resurrection and the life. Amen and amen.” This is our American Maehpelah, as sacred to us as the Maehpelah in Canaan, of which Jacob uttered that pastoral poem in one vers: “There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife;, there they buried Isaac and llebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah.” At this Easter service I ask and answer what may seem a novel question, but it will bo found, before l get through, a practical and useful and tremendous question: What will resurrection May do for the cemeteries? First. I remark, it will be their supernal beautification. At certain seasons it is customary in all lands to strew flowers over the mounds of the departed. It may have been sug-

gested by 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 each other that there are only a few months of flowers in the field. All the flowers we see to-day 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, mignonettee and sweet marjoram. In the college at Beyrout you may see Dr. Post's collection of about one thousand eight hundred kinds of Holy Land flowers; while among trees are the daks of climes, and the tamarisk of the tropics, walnut and willow, ivy and hawthorne, ftsli and elder, pine and sycamore. If such floral and botanical beauties 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 Soldier's spear, His last drop of blood had eo : **gmlated. And then see how appropriafrsDiat all oqr cemeteries should be floral tree shaded. In June Green woodSe Brooklyn's garden. “Well, then>’ you say, “how.can you that resurrection day will beautify the cemeteries? Will it not leave them a plowed lip ground? On that day there vVill be an earthquake, 4 and will not . this split the polished Aberdeen granite, as well as tin* plain slab that can afford hut two words — ‘Our Mary,* or ‘Our Charley?’” Well, I will tell you how resurrection day will beautify the cemeteries. It will he by bringing up the faces 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 11s 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? Ido not care which way the tret* falls in the blast of tin* judgment hurricane, or if the plowshare tliatday shall turn under thtfTast rose leaf and the last ch ina aster, if out of the broken sod shall come thodmdies of our loved ones not damaged, but irradiated. . The idea of the\ resurrection gets cosier to understand as I hear the phonograph unroll some voice that talked into it a year ago, just before our friend'sdecease. You touch the r lever. and then come forth the very tones, the very song of the person that breathed into it once, but is now departed. If a man can do that, can not 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 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 lie can return the nerves, why not the muscles, which are less ingenious? And if the muscles, why not the hones, 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 twelve 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. 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 lie can do it ten times I think He can do 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 thatrattle at, which all the husbandmen and vine-dressers tremble as the insecti e host takes up the march of devastation. Resurrection every seventeen years, a wonderful fact! 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 ami 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 mako 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 I can understand. Mysteries? Oh, yes; hut 110 more about the resurection of you body than about its present existence. I will explain to you the last mystery of the resurrection, and 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 nothing in the Bible statement concerning the resurrection that staggers me for a moment. All doubts clear from my mind. 1 say that the cemeteries, however beautiful now, will be more beautiful when the bodies of our 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 you have heard them say: “I am so tired!” The fact is it is a tired world. If I should go thfough this audience, and go around the world,' I could not find a person in any style of life ignorant of the sensation of fatigue. I do ftot believe there are fifty persons in this audience who are not tired. Your head is tired, or your back is tired, or vour foot is tired, or your brain is tired, or your nerves are tired. Long journeying, or business application, or bereavement, or sickness has put on you heavy weights* So the vast majority of those who went out of this world went hut fatigued. About the poorest place to rest in is this world. Its atmosphere, its surroundings, and even its hilarities are exhausting. So God stops ouf earthly life, and mercifully closes the 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. If a drummer boy were compeled in the army to beat his drum for twentyfour hours without stopping his officer would lie court-martialed for cruelty. If the drummer boy should be compeled to beat his drum for a week without ceasing,day and night, he would die in attempting it. Hut 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 110 furlough by day or by 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 the last expiration of lung and the last throb of pulse, and after the spirit is released, the heart keeps on.heating for a t ime. What a mercy, then, it is that the grave is the place where that wondrous machinery of ventricle.and artery can halt! Fnder the heathful chemistry of the soil all tlie wear and tear of nerve and muscle and bone will be subtracted and that hath of good fresh, clean soil will wash off the last ache, and then some of the same style of .dust out of which the body of Adam was constructed may he infused into the resurection body. How can the bodies of the human race, which have lmd no replenishment fronl the dust since the time of Adam in Faradise, get any recuperation from the storehouse from which he was constructed without our going hack into the (lust? That original, life-giving material having been added to the body as it once was, and all .the defects left behind, whata body Will be the resurrection body! 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 the first human being, we have to go hack to the same place to get a perfect body. There will be 116 door knob on the inside of our family sepulcher, for we call not come out, of ourselves; but There is a door knob on the outside, and that Jesus shall lay hold of, and, opening, will say: “Good morning! You have slept long enough! Arise! Arise!” And then wliat a flutter of wings, and wliat flashing of rekindled eyes, and what glad some rushing across the family, lot, with cries of “Father, is that you?” “Mother, is that you?” “My darling, is that yon?”. 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 lias already started! Steer 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 n> 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, 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 Maehpelah that was opened bv Father Abraham in Ilebron to the Maehpelah yesterday consecrated. And that makes Lady Huntington’s immortal rhythm most apposite: When thou, my righteous Judire slept come To take Thy ransomed people home, Shull I anions them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die. Ho found at Thy right hand? Among Thy saints let rao bo found. Whono er th’ archangel's trump shall sound: To sec Thy smiling face; Thon loudest of the throng I'll sing, While heaven's resounding arches ring With shouts of sovereign grace. Jesus' Tenderness Jesus gives help kindly. He might have 'said: “Forgiveness is granted even to the vilest; go and sin no more.” But He did say: “Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more.” He might have stood aloof- from Manila and Mary, and simply shown llis power by calling Lazarus from the dead, but He first wept with them and then took away their grief bv restoring to them their brother. He might drive the strayed and lost member of the flock back into the fold, but He gathers the lambs with His arm and carries them in His bosom.—United Presbyterian. —I love that tranquillity of soul in which we feel the blessing of existence, and which in itself is a prayer and u thanksgiving.—Longfellow.

And the iridescent snowflakes of which the poets sing Chase themselves, in chilly frolic, through the air; When the winds are penetrating, and the frost is on the ground And,pedestrian locomotion’s rather slow; When the cars are half an hour late whenever homeward bound Because the horses can’t get through tho snow; Then tho voice of man arises, and he tells ft funny tale As to how he loves the gentle summer days, When the flowers nod and whispor in the lovely hawthorn dale, And he basks beneath the smiling sun's bright rays. But when the whirligig of time brings “gentle summer” on, And he wilts and melts beneath the scorching .disk, The inconsistent mortal sings another kind of song As to ,how he loves the winter cold and brisk. tsw —Philadelphia Public Ledger.
