AT THE TABEKNACLE, ? &R. TALMAGE TELLS OF THE GLORIES i OF THE RESURRECTION.

e Earth and the Sea Shall Glre TTp Their Dead, and the Reunions TT111 Tie Such a ! No Imagination Can Picture The Glorlfied Body. BnooKLTX, April 2. The Tabernacle was elaborately decorated with flowers today. Und an nnusaclly large audience assembled to hear Rev. Dr. Talmas' Easter morning Bermoll. The subject was, "The .Sleepers Awakened," the text chosen lic'tiit from 1 Corinthians xv, 0, "Now is Christ risen from the did and become the first fruits of them that slept." Oa this glurious Easter morning, amid the music and the flowers, I pveyoti Christian salutation. This rnorninrr Uussiaa meeting Russian on tlie streets of St. Petersburg bails him with the salutation. "Christ U risen!" find is answered by his friend in salutation, Ie U risen indeed!" In some parts of Enalind .".nil Ireland to this very d.iy there is the superstition that on Easter morning the iin danr es in the heavens, and well mar we forgive such a superstition, which ilhwnues the fact that the natural world seems to sympathize with the spiritual. Hail, Easter morning! Flowers! Flowers! All of them a-voice, all of them a-tongue, a'.l of them full of speech today. I bend over one of the lilies, and I hear it say, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they prow, tbey toil not, neither do they piu, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." I lx-nd over a rose, and it seems to whisper, "I am tie rose of Sharon." And then I stand and listen. From all ttides there comes tho chorus of f.owt rs, ?ayig, "If (iod so clothed the grass of the field, w hich tolay Is and tomorrow is crust into the oven, shall he not much mere clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Flo-.vers! Flowers! Braid them into the bride's hair. Flowers! Flowers: Strew theui over the graves of the dead swett prophecy of the resurrection. Flowers! Flowers! Twist them into a garland for my Lord Jesus on Easter morning. "Glory bf to the Fächer, and to the Sou, and t the Holy Ghot,t; as it was in the beginning, is now aad ever bhall be." THE BLOOM OF KASTTR. Oh, how bright and how beautiful the flowers, and how much they make me think of Christ and his religion, that brightens our life, brightens our character, brightens society, brightens the church, brighter. everything! You who go with gloomy countenance pretending you are Letter than I am because of your lutcubriousness, you cannot chej.t ma Pretty caso you are for a man that professes to be more than a conqueror. It i cot religion that makes you p.oomy; it Is the lack of It. There is just ts much religion in a wedding as in a burial; Just as much religion in a smile as in a tear. Those- gloomy Christians we sometimes see are the people to whom I like to lend money, fur I never see them again! The women came to the Saviour's tomb and they dropped spices all around the tomb, and those spikes were the seed that Inrgan to grow, and Irom them came all the Cowers of this Kalter mom. The two anv;e!. robed in white to;k hold of the stone at the Saviour's toi.b, and they hurled it with such force down the hill that it crushed ia the door of th j world's scpulcher, and the stark and the dead must come forth. I care not how labyrinthine the mausoleum or how costly the sarcophagus or however Leautifully parterre! the family grounds, we want them all broken up Ly the Iord of the reminvction. They mutt come out. Fi ther and mother they mu. t come out. II':larid and wife they mu-t come out. Brother and sinter they mu.-t come out. Our darling children they must come cut. The eyes that we close with such trembling fingers must open again ia the radiance of that morn. The arms we folded in dust must join ours in an embrace of reunion. The voice that was bushed in our dwelling must be retuned. Ob, Low long some of you seem to Ixi waiting waiting fur the resurrection, waiting! Anelfor thtL broken hearts today I make a soft, cool bandage out of Ea-ster floweri My friends, I find in the risen Christ a prophecy of our own resurrection, my text setting forth the idea that as Christ has risen so his people will rise. He the Crst sheaf of the resurrection Lai vest. He "the first fruits of them that slept." Before I get through this morning I will walk through all the cemeteries of tie dead, through all the country graveyards, where your loved oticsare buried, and I will pluck of! the flowers, and I will drop a sweet promise of the gospel a rose of hope, a lily of joy on every tomt) the child's tomb, the huiliand's to.ub, the wife's tomb, the father's grave, the mother's grave, and while we celebrate the resurrection of Christ we n ill at the same time celebrate the resurrection of all the good. "Christ the first. Jxuits of thtni that slept." THE GKEAT fONQUEHOR. If I should come to you this morning and lusk you for the names of the great conquerors of the world, you v, o lid say Alexander, Csesar. Philip. Napoleon I. Ah, my friends, you have forgotten to mention the name of a greater conqueror than all the.se a cruel, a ghastly conqueror, lie rode on a black torse across Waterloo and Atlanta an 1 Chalons, the bloody hoofs crushing the hearts of nations. It is the conqueror Death. i He carries a black flag, and he takes no prisoners. He dh0 a trench across the hemispheres and fills it with the carcasses of nations. Fifty times would the world have been depopulated Lad not Cod kept Oiakiug new generations. Fifty times the irorld would have swung lifeless through Ihe air no man on the mountain, no man Ei the sea, an abandoned ship plowing rough immensity. ! Again and again has he don-ythis work iritli all generations. He is a Monarch lj )rell as a conqueror; his palace a sepuliher; his fountains the fallin tears of a Irorld. Blessed be Cod, in the light of this Easter morning I see the prophecy that Lis leepter shu.Il be broken and Lis palace shall be demolished. The Lour is coming when 111 who are in their graves h all come forth. Christ rWn, we shall rise, Jesus "the first Jruits of them that slept." Now, around this doctrine of the resurrection there are t jrreat many mysteries. . You come to me this morning and say, "If the bodies of the dead are to be raised, how ia this, and how is that?" And you ask fne a tboiLsaud questions I am incompetrut to answer, but there are a great many things jou believe, that you are not able to explain. You would be a very foolish man to say, "I won't believe anything I can't nxiderstsnd." THE MTSTEr.IFS OK KATCTJE. . Why, putting down one kind of flower red, comes there op this flower of this color? Vhy, putting down another flower Beeil, cornea there up a flower of this color? One flower white, another Cower yellow, Another flower crim.on. Why the difference, when the seeds look to be very much Ute are very much alike? Explain thews things. Explain that wart on the finger. Explain why the oak leaf is different from the leaf of the hickory. Tell me Low the Iord AlmigLty can turn the chariot of Lis omnipotence on a rose leaf? You ak me questions about the resurrection I cannot answer. I will ask you a thousand quev tious about everyday life you cannot anI ünd my strength in this passage, "All who are in theirgraves shall come forth." I do not pretend to make the explanation. You can goon and say: "Suppose a returned missionary dies in Brooklyn; when he was in China, hi foot was amputated; he lived years after In England, and there he had an xxa Simpn1-3' h is burisd. today iJTfce-

wood. In the resurrection will the foot come from CMna, will the arm come from England, and will the different parts cf the body bo reconstructed la the resurrection? How is that possible?" You rat that "the human body changes every seven years, and by 70 years of age a man has had 10 bodies. In the resurrection which will come up?" You say: "A man will die and his body crumble Into the dust, and that dust be taken up into the life of 4he vegetable. An animal may eat the vegetable; men eat the animal. In the resurrection, that body distributed in so many directions, how shall it be gathered op?" Have you any more questions of this stylo to ask? Come on and ask them. I do notpretend to answer them. I fall back upon the announcement of God's word, "All who are In their graves shall come forth." You have noticed, I supioe, in reading the story of the resurrection that almost every account of the Bible gives the idea that the characteristic of that day will be a great sound. I do not know thai it will be very loud, but I know it will be very penetrating. In the mausoleum where silence has reigned a thousand years that voice must penetrate. In the coral cave of the deep that voice must penetrate. Millions of spirits will Tome through the gates of eternity, and they will come to tLe tombs of the earth, and they will cry, "Give us bach our bodies; we gave them to you In corruption, surrender them now in iiicorruptiou." Hundreds of spirits hovering about the crags of Gettysburg, for there the bodies are buried. A hundred thousand spirits coming to Greenwood, for there the bodies are buried, waiting for tLe reunion of body and soul. TIIK SEA TO GIVE UP ITS DEAD. All along the sea route fmra New York to "Liverpool at every few miles where a steamer went down, departed spirits coming back, holering over the wave. There is where the City of Boston perished. Found at last. There is where the President perished. Steamer found at last. There is where the Central America went down. Spirits boverinK hundreds of spirits hoveriug, waiting for the reunion of body and soul. Out on the prairie a spirit alights. There is where a traveler died in the snow. Crash! goes West minster abbey, nnd the poets and orators come forth wonderful mingling of good and bad. Crash! go the pyramids of Egypt, and the monarchs come forth. Who can sketch the scene? I suppose that one moment before that general rising there will be an entire silence, save as you hear tho grinding of a wheel or a clatter of the hoofs of a procession passing into the cemetery. Silence in all the caves of the earth. Silence on the side of the mountain. Bilence down in the valleys and far out into the sea. Silence. But in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, as the archtuiKei'it trumpet comes paling, rolling, erashing, aero mountain and ocean, the earth will give one terrific shudder, and the graves of the dead will heave like the waves of the sea, and Ostend and Sebastopol ai d Chalons will stalk forth in the lurid air, and the drowued will come up and w ring out their wet locks above the billow, and all the land and all the sea become one moving mass of life all faces, all ages, all condition prizing in one direction and upon one throne the throne of resurrection. "All who are in their graves shall come forth." "But," you say, "if this doctrine of the resurrection is true as prefigured by this Euter morning, Christ "the iirst fruits of them that slept,' Christ rising a promise and a prophecy of the rising of all Lis people, can you tell us some-thin? about the rvsuirected body?" I can. There are mysteries about that, but I shall tell you three or four things in reuard to the resurrected body that aro beyond guessing and beyond mistake. T.'IE GtX-RIFIED BODY". In the first place, I remark, in regard to your resurrected body, it will be a glorious body. The body wo have now is a mere skeleton of what it would have been if sin Lad not marred and defaced it. Take tie most exquisite statue that was ever made by an art ist uid chip it Lere and chip it therewith n chisel and batter and bruise it here ami there and t hen stand it out in the storms of a hundred years, and the beauty Would be trot,.'. Well, tho human body has been chipped end battered and bruised and damaged with the storms of t housands of years the physical defects of other generations coming down from generation to generation, we inheriting the infelicities of past generations, but in the morning of the resurrection the body will be adorned and beautified according to the original model. And there is no such dilTeren'" between a gymnast and an emaciated wretch in a lazaretto as there will be a dillcrcnce between our bodies as they nre now and our resurrect ed forms. There you will see the perfect eye after the waters of death have washed out the staius of tears and study. There you will see the perfect Land, after the knots of toil have been untied from the knuckles, liiere you will see tiie form erectand elastic, after the burdens have gone off the shoulder tho very life of God in the lody. In this wor! i the most impressive thing, the most expressive thing is the human face, but that face is veiled with the griefs of a thousand, years, but in the resurrection morn that vt il will be taken away from the face, ai.d the noonday sun is dull nnd dim and stupid coin pared with the oi:tfiming plories of the countenances of the saved. When those faces of the righteous, those resurrected fiues, turn toward tbe pate or look up toward the throne, it will be like the dawning of a new morning on the bosom oi everlasting dayl Ob, glorious, resurrect ed body! But I remark also, in regard to that body which you are to get in the resurrection, it will be an immortal body. These bodies arc wasting away. Somebody has said as soon as we bcrfn to live we begin to die. Unless we keep puitiug the fuel into the furnace the furnace die out. The blood vessels are canals taking the brcadbtufls to sll parts of the system. We must be reconstructed hour by hour, day by day. Sickness and death are all the time trying to get their prey under the tenement, or to pu.-.h us oil tLe embankment of the grave. But, Lle-ied be God, in the resurrection we will get a Ixxlj immortal. No malaria in tbe air, no cough, no neuralgic tv.injc, no rheumatic pang, no fluttering t the heart, no shortness of breath, no ambulance, no dispensary, no hospital, no invalid's chair, no spectacles to improe e tu aim vision, ilut health, immortal Leaith! O ye who hart aches and pains indescribable this morning O ye w ho are never well O ye who are lacerated with physical distress, let me till you of tLe resurrected body, free from all disease. Immortal! Immortal! THE ETItEXGTII OF THE IMMORTALS. I will go further and say, in regard to that body which you are to get in the resurrection, it will be a powerful body. We walk now eight or ten miles, and we are fatigued; we lift a few hundred pounds, and we are exhausted; unarmed, we meet a wild beast, ar.d we must run or fly or climb or dodge because we are incompetent to meet it; wo toil eight or ten hours vigorously, and then we are weary, but in the resurrection we are to have a body that never gets tired. Ia it not a glorilis thought? Plenty of occupation in heaven. I sappose Broadway, New York, in the busiet season of tLe year at noonday is not so busy as Leaven is all the time. Grand projects of mercy for other worlds. Victories to be celebrated. The downfall of despotisms on earth to be announced. Great songs to be learned and sung Great explitions on which God shall send forth Lis children. I'lenty to do, but no fatisjue. If you are seated under the trees of life, it will not be to rest, but to talk ovtr with some old comrade old times the battles where you fought shouluer to shoulder. Sometimes in this world we feci we would like to Lave such a body as that. There is so much work to be done for Christ, thee are to uUkOS t- to bei wütJ av. &y. tbero

are so many burdens to lirt, there is so much to be achieved for Christ, we sometimes wish that from the first of January to the last of December we could toil on without stopping to sleep, or take any recreation, or to rest, or even to take food that we could toil right on without stopping a moment in ourwork of commendin j Christ and heaven to all the people. But we all get tired. It is characteristic of the human body in this condition; we must get tired. Is it not a glorious thought that after awhile we are going to have a body that will never get weary? Oh, glorious resurrection day! Gladly will I Ging aside this poor body of sin and fling it into the tomb if at thy bidding I shall have a body that never wearies. That was a splendid-xesurrection hymn that was sung at ray father's burial: So Jesus slept; Ood's dying son Passed througa the crave and bleesod the bed. Rest here, blessed saint, till from his throne The morninj breaks to pierce the shade. A HAPPY THOUGHT. Oh, blessed resurrection! Speak out, sweet flowers, beau if ul flowers, while you tell of a risen Christ and te.ll of the righteous who shall rise. May God fill you this morning with anticipation! I heard of a father and son who among others were shipwrecked at sea The father and the son climbed into tho rigging. The father held on. but the son after awhile lost his hold in the rigging and was dashed down. The father supposed ho had uone hopelessly under the wave. The next day the father was brought ashore from the rigging in an exhausted state and laid in a bed in a fisherman's hut, and after many hours h;ul passed he came to consciousness and saw lying beside him on the same bed his boy. O my friends, what a glorious thing it will be wht u we wake up at last to find our loved ones beside us! Coming up from the same plot in the graveyard, coming up in the same morning light the father and bod alive forever, ail the loved ones alive forever, never more to weep, never more to part, never more to die. May the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Ixrd Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant make you perfect In every good work, to do his will. And let this brilliant scene of the morning transEort our thoughts to the grander assemlage before the throne. This august assemblage is nothing compared with It The one hundred nnd forty and four thousand, and the "great multitude that no man can number," some of our best friends among them, we after awhile to join the multitude. Blessed anticipation! My soul anticipates the day. Woo hi stretch her winjrs and soar away. To sld the sone. the palm to bear, And bow, the chief of sinners, there. The Pontiuaatcr General's Nickname. Wilson BLll, the postmaster general, has been the possessor of a pet name for years. Among all his friends and to a good many others lesiues the old law partner of G rover Cleveland is known as "Babe" Dispell. The name was never applied in disrespect, but refers simply te his smooth face, which is round and bland and covered with a cherubio expression that would set an angel to singing u lullaby. His Buffalo associates say that his expression is only an index to his Disposition, and there are several people ia Lis own city w ho thiuk Mr. Bissell a fair subject for a pedesial. One of these is a quaint old German who keeps a little "garten" wherein is a common round table to which the edd fellow points with pride. Years ago, when Mr. Cleveland was sheriff and later mayor, he and Mr. Bissxll and Mrs. Cleveland's father, Mr. Folsoni, used to go over to this litt!e "garten," cal. for their slo mugs and then sit for an hour at this table and play pinochle up in Buffalo they call it "peaknuckle " The threo men always came at the same hour, sat at tue same table and generally staid just the same time each day. Tho corner table became their especial property, and any one who had attempted to occupy the place about the time for the trio's arrival would h-ve received small courtesy from the old German. Since Mr. Cleveland became president the proprietor ha !ccu pointing out the table with a mixture of thrifty pride and veneration. Mrs. MoGuirk in Kate Field's Washington.

GOD'S CHASTENIXGS.

LESSON II, SECOND QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, APRIL 9. Text of the tenson. Job v, 17-? 7 Memory Verses, 17-19 Oolden Text. Heb. xti, 6 Commentary by the Rev. D. 51 Stearns. Three of Job's friends EUphaz, Bildad nd Zophar having heard of the afflictions of Job, made an appointment to come and mourn with him and comfort him. When they saw him they knew him not because he was so changed. They wept, and rent their clothes, and sat with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights without speaking a word, for they saw that his grief was very great (chapter ii, 11-13). Then Job spoke and cursed his day, after which Eliphaz was the first of the three to speak, and this lesson is part of his speech. Job had borne meekly and without complaint the loss of children and cattle and even his bodily affliction (chapters i, 22; ii, 10), but theso friends, with their false accusations and insinuations, stirred all the old man that was in him. These three condemned Job without cause, and yet their words have much in them that is helpful. 17. "Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteih; therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty." This is sound wisdom and very profitable if put in practice. Blessed is the man that endureth trial! Count it all joy when ye fall into divers trials. Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth. If ye en-lure chastening. God denleth with you as with sons (Jas. i, 12, 2; Heb. xii, 6, 7). IS. "For He maketh sore and bindeth tip; He woundeth, and His hands make whole." Or, as it is written elsewhere,"! kill and I make: alive; I wound and I heal; neither is there any that can deliver out ef my hand" (Deut. xxxii, St). But though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the ruultitudeof his mercies, for He doth not afllict willingly, nor grieve the children of men (Lam. hi, 32, 33). 19. "He thall deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee." Not even satan can touch a believer without permission, for he had to obtain permission to touch Job, and if God allows us to go to the furnace he knows how to deliver. So that Daniel's friends were right when they said, "Our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us from the burning iery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine Land, O kin;" (Ban. Iii, 17). In the promise, "There shall no evil Infill thee" (Ps. xci, 10), we must not think to escape trouble, for just that is promised us (John xvj, 3.T), and possibly imprisonment and death (Rev. ii, 10; Math, x, 2S), but in the resurrection it shall le seen that we have not been hurt, nor a hair Of our head perished. "0. "In famine He shall redeem thee from death and in war from the power of the sword." The upright shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied (1's. acxxvii, 18, 1'J). He who fed Elijah by the brook and in the widow's house during the three years' famine, who fed Israel for forty years with bread from Leaven, who fed evcr 5,000 with the lad's few loaves and ii.-iies, isthe same jeMerday, today and forever. Andastothe sword, think of David's deliverance from the sword of Goliath and Lis victory over Lim. 21. "Thou sh.ik be hid from the scourge of the tongue; neither halt thou lie afraid of destruction when it cometh." The tongue is often as a sharp sword (Ps. Iv, 21; 1 v ii. A), but He will keep us secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues (Ps. xxxi, 20). Inasmuch as the angel of the Lord eucampeth round about us, the tongue that would touch us must first touch Him. Not even a dog cm move his tongue against us without permission (Ex. xi, 7). 22. "At destruction and famine thou sli alt laugh; neither shalt thou be afraid of the br.-i.its of the earth." One would almost think the speaker was describing the millennial times, when the wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and they shall not hurt nor destroy iu ail God's holy mountain (Ia. lxv, 25). But with such records as that of David over the lion and the bear, Daniel over the lions and Paul over the poisonous reptile (I Sam. xvii, .V.; Dan. vi, 22; Acts xxviii, 4, 5), we see what may be eveu r.ov as foreshadowing ol coming glory. Let us "have faith in God." 2.1. "For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee." David comes to mind again with his stones gathered from the brook, one of w hich, slun in the name of the Lord of Hosts, sank into the piant's forehead (I Sam. xvii, 41)). And the 700 left handed men who could sling stones at a hair and not miss (Judg. xx, 10) show how God can give control over stoues in that sense. As to the beasts, read Isa. xi. G-D, and for another wonderful 6tory of the pa.st see I Kings xiii, 23. 24. "And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace, and thou shalt visit thy habitation und shalt not sin," or, 11. V., "shalt miss nothing." "The work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever. And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places" (Isa. xxxii, 17, IS). We may even dwell in Jehovah Himself, for it is written, "Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations" (Ps. xc, 1). 25. "Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great and thine offspring as the grass of the earth." The promise to Abram was that his seed should be as the stars of heaven and as the sand upou the seashore (Gen. xxii, 17). When Bebekah left her dome to become the bride of Isaac they prayed that she might become the mother cf thousands of millions (Gen. xxiv, ü0). Jesus has said, "There is no man that hath left bouse or brethen or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake and the gospels but Le shall receive an hundredfold now lu this time, houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life" (Mark x, 1.9; xxix, 80). 24. "Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, lite as a shock of corn cometh in in His season." It turned out so In Job's case, for he lived after his affliction 140 ytars and saw four generations. So Job died, Leiiug old and full of days (Job xlil, 1C, 17). With the believer lu Jesus length of years in a mortal body is not the great eat blessing except In so fax as Cod Is glorified thereby. 27. "Lo this, we have searched it; so it ia; hear it and know tboa It for thy good." We might with Job have somewhat to say to EUpha. but we are trying to forget the man and get something out of the uitte age, and therefore wo notice that le U good to search out a good matter, but especially good to search the Scriptures, tor therein is the best of all matter. i A IJttle Mixed.
