TALMAGE’S 1BERM0N. TM Gladness of Kastertida and Its Beautiful Lessons. rh« Frankincense and Bdn of the Sweet, Pat* Gospel Glee Eicon rare meat to Soul, In .Glooiit—Kal In* Awny the Slone. ‘“Aromatics for S i3tei,H Whs the tab* ject of Rev. T. DeWltt TtiJtaage’s Easter* tide sermoa, delivered at the Brooklyn Tabernacle, He took two texts, as fol* lows: Bringing spices which they had prepared Luke uttv, 1, The trumpet shall sound.- -! Corinthians, re., hi. Enchanting work t have before me this Easter morning, for, imitating these women of the text, who b nought aromatics to the mausoleum of Christ, I am going to unroll frankincense, and balm, and attar of roses, and cardamon from the East Indies, and odors from Arabia, and, when We can inhale no more of the perfume, then we will talk of sweet sounds, 'and hear from the music that shalt wake the dead. Having on other Easters described the whole scene, I need only, in four or five sentences, nay: Christ was lying flat on His tytek, lifeless, amidst sculptured rocks, rocks over Him, rocks under Him, and a door ol! rocks all IJoUnd* ed by the flowers and fountains of Joseph’s country seat. Then a bright im- | mortal, having .descended from Heaveu, j quick and flashing' as a failing meteor, picks tup the door of | rock and puts tl; aside as though ■ it were a chair and sits on it. Then Christ j unwraps Himself of His mortuary apparel j and takes the turban from His head and folds It up deliberately and lays it down in one place and then pt ts the shroud in another place and comes out and finds ! that the soldiers who have been on guard | are lying around, pallid and in a dead j swoon, their swords bimt and useless, j The illustrious prisouei ff the tomb is discharged and five huiWed people see Him at once. An especial congress of ecclesiastics called pay a bribe to the resuscitated soldiers to sap that ttere was no resurrection, and that while they were overcome of slumber tlie Christia ns had played resurrectionists and stolen the corpse. The Marys are at the tomb with aromatics.

\v ny uia not tries* women or toe icxi brim* thorns anil nettlei, for these would more thoroughly have expressed the piercing sorrows of themselves and their Lord? Why did they not bring sorts national ensign, such as tb at of the Homan eagle, typical of conquest? No, they bring aromatics, s igges live to m« of the fact that the Gospel is to sweeten and deodorize the world. Tie world has so much of putrefaction end malodor that Christ is going to roll orer it waves of frankincense and sprinkle it all over with sweet-smelling myrrh. Thousands of years before this Solomon had said that Christ was a lily, and Isaiah had. declared that under the Gospel the desert would bloom like the rose, but the world was slow to take the floral hint. And so now the women of the text bring hands full and arms full of redolence and jierhaps unwittingly confirm and emphasize the lesson of deodcrization. When Christ’s Gospel has conquered the earth the last offense to the olfactories will have left the world; sweet, pure air will have blown through every home, and churches will be freed f rom the curse of ill ventilatiou and the world will become two great gardens, the empurpled and emblazoned and eiu paradised hemispheres. Sin is a buzr.ard, holiness is a dove. Sin is night-shmde, holiness is a flower. If you are trying to reform the world open the windows of that teuement house and pour through it a draught of God’s pure atmosphere und set a geranium or a heliotrope on the window-sill; cleanse the air and you will help cleanse the soul.- How dare th is world so often insult that feature of the human face which God'has made th> most prominent feature in human physiognomy? To prove how He Himself loves aromatics 1 bring the fact that there are millions of flowers on prairies und in mountain fastnesses, the fragrance of which no human being ever breathes, and He must have grown them there for His own regalement. And for the compliment the world paid Christ by giving Him a sepulcher in Joseph’s garden Ho will yet make the whole earth a garden. Yes, He expressed His delight with fragrance in the first book of the Bible, when lie said: “The Lord smelled a sweet savor;” and He fillet the air of the ancient tabsr ancle and temple with sweet incense; and there are small bottles of perfume in Heaven described in Revelation as golder vials full of odors. 1 preach an ambrosial gospel which will yet extirpate from the world all fonluess and rancidity and the last noisomeness and the last mephitic gits. Glad am I that though the world had chiefly spikes for the Saviour’* brow, the magi put frankincense upon His cradle, and the Marys brought frankincense l or His grave. Notice also that Christ's mausoleum was opened by concusi ion. It was a great earthquake that put ils twisted key into the involved and labyrinthine lock of that tomb. Concussion! That is the power that opens all the torn! u that are opened at alL Tomb of soul and tomb of nations. Concussion between England and the thirteen colonies, ant forth comes free government in A merit a. Concussion between Frauee and Germany, and forth comes republicanism for France.

The angels are a fatigueless face, and that one could have shouldered every rock around that tomb and carried it away and not been be* sweated. He sat upon it, I think, to show yon and to show me that we may make every earthly obstacle a throne of triumph. The young tiicn who get their education easy seldom amount to much. Those who had to straggle for it Come ont atop. There is no end of the story Of studying by pinekuot lights, and reading while the mulct of the tow-path were resting, and of going hungry and patched and barefoot and submitting to all kinds of privation to get scholastic advantages. But the day of graduation came and they took the diplomas with a hand nervous from night study and pale from lack of foot! and put their academio degrees iu the pocket of a threadbare coat. Theu startiug for an* other career of hardship, they entered a profession or a business where they fouud plenty of disheartennient and no help. Yet saying:_ “I will succeed; 0 od help me, for no one else will,” they went oil and up until the world was competed to acknowledge and admire them. The fact was that the obstacle be^een their discouraging start and their complete success was a rock of fifty tons, but by resolution, nerved and muscnlariied aud reinforced by Almighty God, they threw their arms atMuud the obstacle, and, with the strength of a supernatural wrestler, rolled back th» stone and, hav* lug become more than conquerors, they sat upon tt. Men and women are good and great and useful just in proportion as they had h> overcome obstacles. You can count upon the fingers of your hand all the great singers, great orators, great poets, great patriots aud great Christians, who never had a struggle. That angel that made a throne of the bowlder at Christ's tomb went baek to Heaveu, and I warrant that, having been born in Heaven and always had an easy time, he now speaks of that wrestle with the rock as the most interesting chapter in all his angelic lifetime.

u men anil women wun oostueies in me way, I t.ell yon that those obstacles are ouly thrones that yon may after awhile •it on. 1* Uie obstacle in your way sickness? Conquer it by accomplishing more for God during your invalidism than many accomplish who have never known an ailment. Are you persecuted? By your uprightness and courage eompel the world to acknowledge your moral hero* ism. Is it poverty? Conquer it by being happy in the companionship of your Lord aud Master, who in all His life owned but sixty-two cents, aud that lie got from a fish’s mouth aud immediately paid it all out jn taxes to the Homan assessor, and who would have been buried in a potter’s field had not Joseph of Arimathea contributed a place, for He who had not where to lay His head during His life had a borrowed pillow ♦or the last slumber. There is no throne that you are sure to keep, except that which you make out of vanquished obstacles. An ungrateful republic at the ballot-box denied Horace Greeley the highest place at the National capital, but could not keep him from rising from the steps of a New York printing office ou which he sat one chilly morning waiting for the boss printer to come that he might get a job, uutil he mounted the highest throne of American journalism. He rolled back the stone aud sat upon It. A poor orphan boy, picking up chips at Richmond, Va„ accosted by a passing sea captain and invited to come on board his vessel, drops the chips and starts right away and is tossed from port to port stnd, homeless aud friendless, wanders one day along Tremout street, Boston, and sees Park Street Church open, and, speaking of it afterward on a great occasiou aud using sailors’ vernacular, as was usual with him, ha says: "I put in, I up helm, unfurled sail and made for the gallery and scud under bare poles to the corner pew. Then I hove tc and came to anchor. “The old man. Dr. Grifiln, was jusl naming his text. Pretty soon he unfurled the mainsail, raised the topsail, ran up the pennants to free breeze, and I tell yo r the old Gospel ship never sailed more prosperously. The salt spray flew, iu every direction, bnt more especially did it run down my cheeks. Satan had tc strike sail, his guns were dismounted or spiked, his various crafts by which he led sinners captive were £11 beached, and the captain of the Lord’s hosts rode forth, conquering and to conquer.” Before that sailor boy was poverty, bui he conquered it; and orphanage, but h« conquered it; and ignorance, but he conquered it; and the scoff of the world, bul he co quered; and he rose in the world till every sailors’ bethel in the world blessed him. and great anniversary platforms invited him, and Daniel Webster and Charles Dickens aud Frederika Bremer and poets and orators and Senators sat electrified at his feet, and his gospeliziug influence will go on until the last jack-tar is converted, aud the sea shall give up its dead. AH the obstacles of his life seemed gathered into one great bowlder, but Edward T. Taylor, the worldrenowned sailors’ preacher, rolled hack the stone and sat upon it. Yet do uot make the mistake that many do of sitting on it before it is rolled away. It is bound to go if yon only tug away at it. If not before, then 1 thiuk about twelve o’clock noon .of resurrection day yon will see something worth seeing. The general impression is that the resurrection wilt take place in the morning The ascent to the skies will hardly oeeui immediately. It will take some houri to form the procession skyward, and wc will all want to take a look at this world before we leave it forever and see the surroundings of the couch where om bodies have long been sleeping. On thai Easter morning tho marble, whether il lay fiat upon your grave or stood np in monument, will have to be jostled and shaken and rolled aside by the angel ol Resurrection, and while waiting foi yonr kindred to gather and the procession to form, yonr resurrected body may sit in holy triumph upon that chiseled stout which marked the place of your protracted slumber. On that day what a fragili thing will be Aberdeen granite, and column of basalt, and the mortar which will rattle out of the wall of vaults that havi been sealed a thousand years, and thi Taj, built for a Queen in India, a sepulcher two hundred and seventy-five few high, and made of jasper, and cornelian and turquoi*, and lapU-laxnli, and amethyst, and onyx, and sapphire, and diamond, and which shaU that day torn inti glittering dust on groves of banyat and bamboo and palm. And al nnder what power? Ponderous crowbars wielded by glsnts? No. Thun derbolt cleaving asunder the granHef No. Battering ram swung against the walls of cemeteries? No. DynamiU drilled under the foundations of cenotapl and abbey? No. It wUl be done by music Nothing but music, sweet but all-pene-trating music. The trumpet shall sound You say that is figurative; how do yot know? But, whether literal or figurative, it means music anyhow. The trumpet that »Hiring, incisive, mighty instru meat, with a natural compass from G below the staff to B above, blown abovi Sinai when the law was given, hlowi around Jericho when the walls tumbled blown when Gideon discomfited the Midianites, blown when the ancient Israel ites were gathered for worship, to b< blown for the rising of the dead in th< last great Easter. The mother who, when the child mas be awakened, kisses its eyes e»«*», doe

| well. But the trumpet which, when the dead are to he aroused, kisses tue ear awake, does better.. Be not surprised if the dead are to be awakened by music. Why that is the way now we raise the dead. Take the statistics, if you can, of the millions of Souls that have been raised from the death of sia by hymns, b? psalms, by solos, by anthems, by flutes, by Violins, by organs, by trumpets. Under God wbat hosts have been resurrected by Ira D. Bankey, t)f Thomas Hastings, by William D. Bradbnry, by Lowell Mason, by motherly lullabies, by church' doiologwa, By oratories. If we raise the dead now by music, be not surprised that on the last day the dead are to be raised by music. The trumpet shall sound * And that instrument shall have plenty of work to do On the day mentioned. At will have to sotind through all the pyramids, whichare only names for sepulchers, and liberate the buried kings. And through hypogean graves which we're bttilt in mounds, and the hypogean graves which were dtig in rocks, and the uine hundred wiudiug miles of catacombs under and around the Roman Campagna, where over seven million human beings sleep. And through ail the crystal sarcophagi of Atlantic, and Pacific, and Mediterranean, and Caspian and Black sea deeps. And over alt the battle-fields of continents. Until all the fallen troops of English and French, and Italian, and German, and Russian, and Persian, and American, and the world’s battle-fields answer the call. Marathon, come up! Agincourt. eoino up l Blenheim, come up! Acre, come up! Hohenllnden. come up! Sedait. come tipi Gettysburg, come up! Sear Sharpsburg, daring our civil war, when 1 was, with some others, httder the auspices of the Christian Commission, looking after the wounded, Federal and Confederate, one moonlight night I w»s where 1 could look down upon the tents of the sleeping army. Oh, what an imposing spectacle I But my subject calls us to look down upon a mightier host of soldiers slumbering their last sleep in the bivouac of the dust, the seven hundred and fifty thousand slain in the Crimean war, the eight hundred thousand slain in our American war, the fifteen milliou slain in the wars of Sesostrts, the twentyfive million slaiu in Jewish wars, the thiriv-two million slaiu Jfcrars of When* gls Khan, the eighty tdil^TO slain in the wars of the Crusaders, the hundred and eighty million slain in the Romau wars. Aye, according to Dr. Dick, the dead in war, If each one occupied four feet of ground, would make enough .graves to reach four hundred and forty-two times around the earth. The most of people are dead. The world is a house of two rooms, a basement and a room above ground, The basement has two to one, three to one, four to one more occupants than the superstructure. Sickness aud war and death have beeu stacking their harvests for near si* thoosaud years. Where are those who saw the Pilgrim Fathers embark, or the Declaration of Independence signed, or Frnukliu lasso the lightning, or Warren Hastings tried, or Queen Eliaaipth in her triumphal march io Kenilworth, or William, Prince of Orange, land, or Jerome of Prague burned at the stake, or Tamerland found his empire? Gone! Gone! But the trumpet shall sound. Mnsic to raise the dead. Ob, how much the world needs it. You take a torch and i will taka a toroh and we will go through some of the aisles of the Roman catacombs aud see the expectant, epitaphs on the walls and right over where the departed sleep. You know that these catacombs are fifty or silly feet underground, and if one ioses the guide or his torch is extinguished, he never finds file way out. 8 > let us stay close together and with our torches, as we wander aloufg a smalt part of these nlue hundred miles of underground passages, see the inscriptions as they were really chiseled there on both sides the way. On your side yon read by the light of your torch: Here rests a handmaid of God who, out of all her riches, bow possesses bat this one house. Thou will remain m eternal repose of happiness. A. D. **>. On my side I read by the light of the torch:

Aurelia, or sweeiemuaugnrec. teen rears anil lour months. A. D. SSt On your side you read: Here hath been laid a sweet spirit, guileless wise and beautiful. Buried in peace. A. D. SS8. On my side I rend: You well deserving one, lie In peace. You wilt rise. A temporary rest Is granted you. Plaueus, her husband, made this On your aide your read: Nlcephorus, a sweet soul, la the place of refreshment. On tny side 1 rend: In Christ. Alexander Is not dead, but lives beyond the stars, and his dead body rosla in this tomb. On your side yon read: Here, happy, you llnd rest bowed down with years. Irene sleeps in God. Valeria sleeps in peace. Arethusa sleep# III God. Navira In police, a sweet soul who lived sixteen years, a soul sweet as honey; this epitaph was made by her parents. But let ns come out from these catacombs and extinguish our torches, for upon all these longings and expectations of all nations the morning of resurrection dawns. The trumpet shall sound! And the sooner it sounds the better. Oh, how we would like to get our loved one* back again! If we are ready to meet our Lord, our sins all pardoned, what a good thing if this moment we coaid hear the resoundiugaud reverberating blast! Would yoa not like to see your father again, your mother again, your daughter again, your boy again, and all your departed kindred again? Roll on sweet day of resurrection and reunion! Under Mi hoofs of the white steeds that draw thy chariot we strew Easter Sowers. Would it not be grand if we could all rise together? You know that the Bible says we shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed. What if we should be among the favored ones who never have to sea death, and that while in the full life of our body we should hear that trumpet sound and these mortal bodies take on immortalitv? Oil, how 1 would hasten to two places before the close of such a day —peaceful Greenwood and the village cemetery back of Somerville. And I would cry aloud: “The hour has some, the trumpet has sounded, the resurrection is here. Father and mother, you were the best of all the group, now lead the way l” The earth sinks out of sight. Clouds under foot Other world* only milestones on tb© King’s highway. We rise I Wa rise 1 We rise 1 to be forever with the Lord and forever with each other. May we all have part In that first resumption! In tits dark world of sin and pain We only meet to part again: Bat when we reach the heavenly shore We there shall meet u> part no more. , The hope that we shall see thst day Should chase our present grief* away.
