At this Easter service I ask and answer Wbat may stem a novel question, but it will be iound, bttore I get toro-iah a practical and u?eful and tremendous question.

The idea of the rssurrec'ioa gets easier to understand as I h-^ar to* phonograph uaroll some voice that talked into it a year ago, just before our friend's de at- a Iawvam ^ViArt cease, xou luuou ujc icvci, auu w&u come forth the very tones, the very song ' f the person that breathed iato it onc? ba: isuov departed. If a mun can do that, cannot Almighty God without half Lrjins return the voice of >our departed? And it be can return the voice, way not the i.p-, and the tongue, and the throat that fashioned the voice? And if the !:ps. and the locsu^, and the throat ;vhv not the brain that suggested the words? And it the brain, why not the nerves, of which the br*in is headquarters? And it he can reiurn the nerves, whv not the muscles, which are les3 ingenious? Aod if the musc'es, whv not the bones, that ?rp less wondertul? And if the voice, and the bram, aad the muscles, and the bones, why not ihe entire bjd>? If man CdD t.o the phonograph, God caD do the retu rrciion. Will it bs the same body that in the last day shall be reanimate-^? Yes, bu . inhaitely improved. Oar b )dles change every seven years, aad in oae sense it is tbe same body. Oa my wrist and the second Hosier of my right *tand ttiere is a scar. I made that at 12 vears of a^e, when, disgusted at the presence of two warts, I took a redhot iron aad burnt d /-> tV KiifnaH thom SiQC? tUCUi ULl auu uuiuw V4AWW V?t?? then my body has changed at least a bait dozen times, but those scars prove it is the same body. We never lose our identity. If God can and does sometimss rebuild a man th-p, six, ten times in this world, is it 'n-Httrious that he cm rebuild bin o ice wore aod that in the resurrectiou? ?f he c*n d>> it 10 times, I think he can do it 11 times. Then look at the 17 yearlo custs. For 17 years <?oae, at the eod ot 17 \ears th?y appear, and by rubbing the biad lea: aaamst the wiog make thai rar.tle at whieb all the husbandmen and viae dressers tremble as the iaseciile -^ost takes up 'he march of devastation I .Resurrection every 17 years, woadertui iact Another consideration makes the idea of resurrection easier. God made Adam He was not tashioned after any motfe'. Tntre had never betn a hucnan organ ism, and *o there nothiogcopv A7 the first attempt God made a perfect mac. He made him out of the dust ot ihe earth. It out of ordinary dust or the earth and wi'hout araxiel God could make a perfect man, surely out cf the extraordinary dust of mortal body and with the millions of models God can make each one of us a perfeci being 'n toe resurreccien, Surely the last under taking would not be greater than the first. See the gospel algebra?ordiaary oust minus a model equals a perfect man extraordinary dust and p'us a model equals a resurrection body. Mys>er>es ar>out i ? 0*1, ves. That is one reasc i wh\ I beiw v& it. It would coo be mac 1 of a God who c>uld do things odIv ad far lean uuders-aod Mvsierie*? Oayes; but no iiore abtu: the resurrection of your body than about its present exist eace. I will explain to you the last mystery of tbe resurrection and make it as plain to you as that two and two make four if you will tell me how your mind, which is entirely iadepeadentof your '-odv,caa act upon yoar b >dy so that at your will vour eyes open, or your foot walks, or your band is extended. So I find nothing in the Bible statement concerning the resurr^cuon that staggers me for a moment. All dca'ots clear from my ?J T ? ^r\ LLL1UU. JL tUO uunorti beautiful now, will oe imre beautitul when the bodies of our loved ones ocme up m the morning of the resurrec ion. Ttev will come In improved condition. They will come up re?ted. The most of them lay down at the last verv tired. How oiten you have heard them say, "I am so tiredl" The fact Is, it is a tired world. It I shou>d go through this r.uaience and go round the world, I couid not find a person m any style of lite ignorant of the sensation ot fatigue. I do not believe there are 50 persons in this audience who are not tired. Your aead is tired, or your back is tired, or your foot is tirei, or your brain is tired, or your nerves are. Lons journeying, orbuvoess application, or bereavement or sLkaess bas put on you heavy weights. S3 the vast majority oi those who went out of this world went out fatten d. About the poorest place to rest is" 10 this world. I-.s atmosphere, its -urrouudings, and even its hilarities ar?exhausting. So God stops our earthly life, ami mercifullv closes the eyes, acci more especially gives quiescsnce to Lb? lung and heart, thai, have not had 10 minutes rest from the first respiratioo and the lirst beat. If a drummer boy were compelled in the a".?sy to beat his dru=ti for 24 hours without stopping, hi# officer would be court marfcaled for ciuilty. It the drum mer b<>* should be commanded to beat his drum for a week without ceasing day aan nitiht, he would die in attempting it. But u :deryour vestment is a poor heart '. ;at bes;ao i:s drumbeat for ihemarch ot I fc 30 or 40 or 60 or 80 year.; a^o, and ; as had no furlough ">? <\a. or ri^it., a.ud whether in coascicus or C'/iuaiose I state it went right on, tor if il bad .stopped sevsn seconds yoor life would l have closed. And your heart will keep Lyoii-? until seme tine after your spirit j has flown, for the auscultator says that J ? ' r the last expiration of lung and the I cvst throb of pulse, and after the spirit ! is released, the heari keeps on beating j for a time. What a mercy, then, it so inai iuc ?iavc is iuc p.aw where that wondrous michinery of veutrie1 a and artery c-m ball! Under the healthful chemistry of the soil ail the wear and tear ot nerve aud noufcie and bot?e T be subtracted and both oi good fresh cienn soil will wash off the last ache, and then some of i he i same s*vie of dust out >.f wnich the I b.-dv of Adam was constructed may be infused into the resurrrction oody. How can the hoaies of the human race, which have had no replenishment from the dust sine-j the time of Adam ir paiadi^, get aav recuperation fr>-jj storehouse from whico he was constructed without our guint? back into the dust?

The dust ot the earih 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. F*c ones are apt to be rough places j and those who toil in them have their garments grimy and their hanas3mut ched. But who cares for that when they turn out for u< beautitul musical nstruimenrs or exq usite upholstery ? What though the gr*ve is a rough place, it is a resurrection body mauuf-ictory, and from it shall come the radiant and respleodenr forms of cur friends on the brightest morning the woria ever saw. iou puo iulu a idmw rv cotton, and it comes oat app ?rel. You put ioto a factory lumber and lead, and ttiey come out piaaos aad organs. And so into the t ?ctory of tne grave you put in pneumonias and consumptions, aud they come out health. You put in ^ro ins, and they come ou* nalleluiabs. For us on tbe final da? the most artrac.ive places will no the parks, or tie gaiQy^, ; or thb palac -s, bu: the cemeteries. We are not told in what season that day will come If it should be winter, those who come up wiil be more lustrI ous than the snow that covered them. If in the autuuij,-those who come up will be more gorgeous thaa the wood3 nfrer tie i'rost3 had peaciled tneai. If ia the spring, tb9 bloom on whica the? tread will be dull compared withiae ruoicund of their cheeks On, the perf^ resuprrtction body! Almost everybody has some defective spot in his physical coastitutioa?a dull ear, or a dim eye, or a rheumUie foot, or a neuralgic brow, or a twisted muscle, or a weak side, or an inflamed tonsil, or soaae poiat at wnica the east wind or a season of over work assaeults him. But the resurrection body shall be withuot one weak spot, aad all that the doctors aud nursis and apothecaries of earth wili thereafter have to do will oe to rest without interaction after the broken niahts of their earthly existence. 5? ot only will that da* be tae beautifibati.?n of well kept ceuae teries, bat soma ot tna graveyara3 cuao nave been neglected and been the pastare ground for cattle and rooting places for s*ine will for the first time h-tve attract!venes given them. k was a shame that in that place ungrateful generations oUated no tre-s, aGd twisted no garlands, and seculp tared no marble for their Chnstaiu ancestry/but on the dav of whica 1 speak the resurrected shall make the place of their feet glorious. From under the shadow of the church, where they slumbered among nettles and mullein staiks aid thistles and slios aslant, tbey snaii rise with a glory that shall flush the w V.rs of the village churcn, aud by the bell tower that used to call them to worsaip, and above toe old spire beside wnicn their prayers formerly as sended. What triumphal procession never did for a street, what an oratorio never did for an academy, what, an or ator never did for a brilil tnt auditory, what obelisk never did tor a kiog, r^ surrection morn will do for all the cemeteries. This E ister tells us that in Christ's resurrection our resurrection, if his, aod the resurrection of ail the pious dead, is assured, for he was "the first fruits of them that, slept." Recao s-iys he did not rise, but 580 witnesses, 60 or them Chrises enemies, say he did rise, tor they saw him atter h- h-id risen. If he did not liae, now aid 60 armed soldiers let biaa gee away ? Surely 60 liv ing soldiers oughf. to be aole to feeep on^deadmaa! Blessed be GodI He did getaway. After his resurrection Mary Magdalene saw mm. Cleopas saw him. Ten discipl-sm an upper room at Jerusalem saw mm Oq a mountain the 11 saw mm. F?v-< qiiid.-ei acoacesiw him. Professor Ernest R-ioaD, who did not are nim, will excuse us for taking the t?-s'imony of the 580 who did see nim. Yes, ves, he got awav. And that makes me sure that our departed loved ooes aod we ourselves shall get awayr Freed himself from the shackles of cold, lie is not goiug to leave us and our^ in the lurch. There will be no doorknob on tbe inside of our family sepuicher, for we c-mnot come out of our elves, but there is a doorknob on the outside, aod tnat Jesus shall lay hold of, a&d opening will say: "G>)od morning!

THE FREEMAN REPLIES. Why IS Accused Jadze Benet of Gsmbliisz st Sumter. Oar readers will fiad in another column a matter of extreme Interest to every good eitizen, touching Judge Bsnet's conduct and reputation and svhat he had to sny, from the bench, in reference to tin structures of the Freeman. By ieaamg carefully what we said, reprinted today, which drew forth The Judge's remarks, it will clearly ap pt7c*l. c LI iV- LLLlLi^3 31C i.u^ A-e were se^kiug to luve them take, a thorough ventilation?ana of course we are pleas-d to tiiid the issue so squarely met by the Judge. There was realiy no other course left for him. His remarks are as pointed iu denial and challenge to further investigation as we could wibh. We sent hiao, as is our rule, a marked copy, because we desired his special attention to this matter, vaich more concerns him than any one else. lie saw meant what we said The Manning Times appaared to us to be trying to "bcnst" a judge of irs faction for purely factional advantaer at a sacrifice of truth in regard to bis reputation in this town and rumors concerning hi3 conduct and we believed, as we said, "chat it w&i e3seutial to truth and to a future proper adminisTaJion of justice" that- we should report the rumors we were bearing: of a very different character from those reported by the rimes. We ass for a careful es iminatioa of what *e said. We do r.ot charge that Judge B-'net actually gamoltd here, but we sav that we hear?tbat js, it was common rumor?that he was playing cards almost every nigiit with persons known as professionals, tUat i3 reputed :o ua proit-ssionals, and that it was distressing to ihiok that he had not, as Wets hoped, nnndrd his ways, since his -r u:.N elevation to rae ujucd, as ueiore uw elevauon t verybody bad heard of htm as a notorious gamoler. Now we submit that bis previous reputation, coupled with hi3 card-playing siuee bis arrival here, witn parsons reputed to be men who play for money, was enough to cause remark and set rumors flvi'i'j thick and fast, to tbe grea* harr. or he dignity and efficiency of thf jud'cial office and to a future proper administration of tbe law. Ware warded h:s election to the bench a public calami'y arid bad found, as we thought, tb-it even his card Dlaying habit was not to be abated for the sake of judicial proprieties. A-? we nave no persoaal f tiing whatever ae^msi. i JuJgj Benec, (fuve no ciuse to hive as he has co:re; ly at;te-i), we suppose hat we are mad a as gia'j by his pointer denial of the correctness of the rumnra w jns nr.har irnftrl uitizen in the -Suite will be.

We want all our young mea to mark tbi.-! Tbe judge is ashamed to asso elate with g-mi biers. We know tbat ail r.he good people will r> j nee at this information and it is to bi hoped that 'he judge will be so out of the way of pla\ing for mouey and of playing with t hose who dmv for money that when he is rerired from the beach, he will never resort to such evil ways again <md companions of such malodorous character rhat they are unfit for a wellbehaved jud*e to associate with. Iheu, too, it is a great gain for Sumter t.c have the tesumony of a j udge from the nench that the persons he has been playing cards with are not samolers? bat is they do not play cards for money?as has been generally supposed by our people. As lo whetb'T there was a "semblance of truth as a foundation" for the arti c!e in tr.e Freem-iU on Tuesday we will say that th.e foretnaa of the grand jury <> r\+ thia nanpr f.fli-sp Olai'CU ?u lac CUitv/X V/A. UU4W w~- -rumors h.-id corns to him. Che reporter of the FfwmiQ, Mr. Peebles, the latter part of the lirst week of court said that he bad heard of it as a common rumor around town that Judge Benet was gambling at nisfht. The same general rumor was also spoken of to the editor of the Freeman ( jam^s given on demand), aud the fact rhat the fellows around town were aujiuc "Rosy" about playing so much with tie Judge. It was also stated to the reporter of the Freeman bv a good citizen whose name we are rf quested to withhold, but it will be given if dem mdpri. that Judffe Benet was seen pJajiog cards at tne residence of Mr. I). Rosendorf, several nights to a late hour during th9 first week of court here! Mr. Peebles, the reporter of the Freeman, in passing Mr. Rosendorfs r^idence last Monday night about 1030 o'clock, saw in the open parlor Judge Bjnet, Mr. H. C. Mos-'-s, Judge W. Melcon and Mr. D. R jsendorf, seated at a table engaged in a game of cards. The matter be:eg talked of around to svn as the reporter well knew, this circum-'ance was mentioned by the reporter to the editor for his information in ihe matter. Mr. S. A. Nettles t.old the reporter of the freeman, Mr. Peebles, in defense of Judge Benet, t.^at the Judge had tola him rnat he had been trying to avoid Mr. Rjsendorf as much as possi ble. The Judge seemed to know that the companionship of Mr. Bjsendorf would turnisb the "semblance of the foundation" that he was gambling, and so did we, and hence we demanded a further investigation and are exceedingh happv to have the Judge's word und'T re st solemn obligations that Mr. Ilos.-adorf is not a gambler aad in future he need not avoid him on this account, nor need others suspect, him Decade or such associa:ioa. Indeed it is evident now that Sumter has co tfamoiers. Juage Bluet's testimony from :he bench sweeps tne iowu clean of the suspicion that we nave. Pho^e who oiict* j,iijed for m-?n*-y do so do i more?they no-,v leave .u*. the sale that gave tiie savor aa*.? iaa.e io i*oc w s i'juul iQts.

C., March 28?The , weather daring the past twenty-four hours has been the most remarkable ever known in this section of the South, and as for the last week, nothing nas been heard of to equal it. Daring Monday night the mercury fell as low as twenty-four degrees, and the m?an temperature for the twenty-four hours was just one degree above the freezing point. The temperature did not fall so low as it has in previous Marches, twenty degrees being recordi pd last j ear and twenty-one degrees in 1890. But these records were made the first week in March. Never before after tne 20 th of March has the mercury gone below thirty desrees. Thus it is seen that this March is keep'ng up Its display as a record-breaker. The most remarKauie iauu auuut 10 <*u ia that the range has been in the last five days from ninety to twenty-four degrees, something unparelled in the history of the weather service. The remarkable weather has been caused by a storm similar to the storm in February. It developed off the coast east of Florida and moved inland,thu3 attracting the influence of ther cold wave which was at the same time moving up the Mississippi Valiey, and drawing it into a combination by what is techaically known as the "suction" process. TVeatn6r Observer Bauer says that the da jo age to the crops and other vegeta-. tion cannot be estimated as yet. He says that all fruit, with the exception of apples, is killed beyond a doubt, and the farmers are going to be very heavy lrisAra T7#? savs that corn has been planted some time and meat of it is up ?sprouting. All this, he says, will be killed, as will early potatoes and wheat and cat crops. Mr. Bauer says the farmers throughout the State had planted earlier ana much heavier than usual this year, and tuey are going to suffer a great deal. He says tney had brighter prospects this year than has been known in years before. They Choose Death. Oskaloosa, la., March 25.?John Reed, 17 years old, and Etta Shaw, aged 16, members of two wealthy families, contracted an affection for each other that time only served to intensify. The parents of the girl thought nothing of the boy's attentions until a few months ? u^thorn htr oclrinflf <Ai?U? WUC1U UC SUlpliOCU \Jj OWA4U0 for their dabbler's hand. While thoroughly satisfied with their daughter's choice, the parents thought both the children too yoaag too young to marry arid told them to wait a few yearj longer. At the same time they thought it prudent to check the visits of young Reed to the house. This did not seem to have the desired effect, as the youngsters would meet clandestinely despite the pareutal opposition. As a last resort Hiss Shaw's parents decided to seed her away for a few months to the Eist, hoping that the change of scenes aod associations would result beneficially.
