I Some tower far above others .somej are plain ; some are beautifully design-1 ed nhd calculated 'to stir the soul of, man with lofty imaginations, leading] his mind or until It hecomesbewilder ed in trying to fathom the secret things of God. There my eyes look upon a grave with two little unniark-| cd stones, one at eacb end of the moun-| tain of clay. Seing tills, my mind asks the question: Who Is buried here? Was I it some unknown one? Had there been' no one to shed a tear at this grave?. Were there any loved ones left be hind? . Not being able to decide the questions, our mlml asks other que*-] tlons. Does every one show by their, Bllent sentinels their true worth toi their fellow man during their life Are we, their friends blinded through! lov?; or lack of love? Or did some of. the?i have the welfare of others to see, ufter which took all their .ime and money, while others wer?-. ai_.!e ?o be-] stow with a lavish hand for an out ward show, trying to compensate for] the failure to show proper appr?ci?t1 of them during their life time? Still | unable to fathom the hidden mystery, we again ask ourselves: DoeB roan! bave a dread i of being forgotten by. the living when he shall cease to min gle with them and have desire fx?v some kind of .emInder to. prove toi the, world that be was once a cit izen of the earth?. Not being able to answer in the af firmative,. I look over .the silent city and ask myself, ia this the final end of all mankind? Is there no future in Which the vast throng of people shall agalri take active part? I find an io lUstO principle speaking to me which1 says that they will live'ugaln. ' Having a desire to learn more of the future of those who reside here. I turn to the '.vlsdom of Jhe world for light, because the wisdom has been able. to| grapple with many hidden secrets. \i ask her about death, what Is death? She says it is a leap In the dark. I ask her If she can penetrate the dark-, ncss and reveal U? us iu hidden se-! crets? With one grand sweep she darts' forth from planet to planet, then delves into the bowels of the earth and re turns with Borne wonderful revela tions. * Again I ask her of death, and the future of the inhabitants of this silent city? She tolls me ii is enveloped in darkness. Then I aak mypeif, is there no wis dom by which wp may know if there Is I a future destiny for those who seem to bo resting here so peacefully? A bright ray of light Hashes up which gives pa hope of having the mystery solved. Not by the wisdom' of the world, but by the wisdom of one whom the world would have Us dlscaVd as au Impostor, the one who -laid.the foun dation by whic'i man may arrive at .the truth, the one whom it is pleased to hide these things, from, the wise*and prudent, and hast revealed them unto [the bab?s, the one who traveled up ana' down doing wonderrul works tor the, children of men, the one who was able to cure all manner of diseases. G}ving sight to the blind, causing the lame to walk, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, raised the dead to lire, and by His command one cajne forth, from the grave claimed, .as its victim, the one who surrendered Himself Into the hands of His enemies to do with Him as they wished. They drove the spikes through His hands and feet, nailing water flowed f?qL. ^ja? ??iyuid Him to the cross, then with their spear they pierced Ills aide and blood aopV water flowed from the wound.

The world rejol^d because they had put an end to the man that was turning the world up sfdo down. Behold, their terror when h* shook the [earth and threw open the graves and sent one of His angels to roll the stone back that rested on the grave so the keepers could look la and see that He was not there. Whew'they looked they were awe stricken and, became as dead men. When they dame to themselves some of them wWt^toto the city and told the chief prnVfc. all that was done and the chief priest and the elders held a caucus and decided the best way out of the dUspnla, was to hire those men to tell a falsehood so they could deceive the , people. They gave the soldiers large. mo%sy to get them to say. His diScipiosvcanv> by nlM>t. and stole Hin away .while we slept. I 'can see why those pf us who are de termined to do as we please detest thle man, fur we can < if Me Ih true; we an- doomed, for His wrath will rest upon us.

W? have many infallible proofs that Christ arose from the grave. Over five hundred witnesses saw Him at one time after his resurrection. He told His apostles they should be wit nesses unto Him, both in Jerusalem and Jiidea, and in Samaria, and unto theutterruost part of the earth. There . Is not a denial by any one of those witnesses that He arose from the I grave and ascended up to heaven from whence He came. Man within himself knows very lit tle. It 1b the truth others have piled up, one upon another, that add to the storehouses of knowledge. What could 1 know of the pust his tory of the world or of America If it were not for the record men left be hind them? Mow could I know George Washington was ever president of the' 1 ni ted States? I never saw him, yet I believe there was such a man. If I believe there was such a man upon the same hypothesis I should believe Jesus Christ did all His friends claim for Him. Profane history, tells us there was such a man. He was such a wonderful being they were in doubt as to wheth er it was lawful to call Him a man. He1 being so superior to any man the ' world had ever known before. The | Bible i gives us a clearer history df. Him. The Ho'.;. Spirit is a personal, witness to all who believe in Him so that'all doubt may be removed, and ean enable us to say like one of old, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and I may know the future of those rest-, ing in the silent city. What a relief it is to hear Him say] all power is given unto me in heavep and in earth. Let not your heart hi" troubled; you believe in God, believe, alao in me.
