Subject: ,4An Everyday Christ."
Text: "She, supposing Him to be the gardener."?John
xx.. 15.
J
Here are Mary Maerdalene and Christ, just
after His resurrection. For 4000 years a
grim and ghastly tyrant had been killing
people and dragging them into his cold palace.
He had a passion for human skulls.
For forty centuries he had been unhindered
in his work. He had taken down kings and
queens and conquerors and those without
fame. In that cold palace there were
shelves of skulls and pillars of skulls and
| altars of skulls and even the chalices at the
j table were made of bleached skulls. To the
j skeleton of Abel he had added the skeletons
i of all the ages, and no one had disputed his
right until one Good Friday, about 1867
years ago. as near as I can calculate it, a
Mighty Stranger came to the door of that '
awful place, rolled baok the door, and went
I id, ana seizing me lyruui, lurew uim iu iuo
pavement and put upon the tyrant's neck
| the lical of triumph.
Then the Mighty Stranger, exploring all
| the gl:a*tly furniture of the place and walk!
ing through the labyrinths, and openincr the
dark cellars of mystery and tarrying under a
I roof tlie ribs of which were made of human
bones?tarrying for two nights and a day,
j rbo nisrhts very dark and the day very disi
mal, He seized the two chief pillars of that
awful palace and rocked them until it began
to fall, and then, laying hold of the ponderous
front gate, hoisted it from its hinges and
marched forth crying, "I am the resurrection."
That event we celebrate this Easter
morn, Handelian and Beethovean miracles
of sound added to tbis floral decoration
which has set the place abloom.
There are three or four things which the
world ana the church have not noticed in regard
to the resurrection of Christ. First,
our Lord in gardener's attire. Mary Magdalene.
grief struck, stands by the rifled sarcophagus
of Christ and turns around, hoping
she can And the tracks of the sacrilegious
resurrectionist who has despoiled the grave,
and she finds some one in working apparel
come forth as i r 10 water the flowers or uproot
the weeds from the garden or set to reclimbing
the falling vine?some ono in
working apparel, His garments, perhaps,
having the sign of the dust and the dirt of
the occupation.
Mary Magdalene, on her face the rain of a
fresh shower of weeping, turns to this workman
and charges him with the desecration
of the tomb, when, lo! the stranger responds,
flinging His whole soul into one word which
trembles with all the sweetest rhythm of
earth and heaven, saying, "Mary!" In that
peculiarity of accentuation all the incognito
fell off, and she found that instead of talking
with an humble gardener of Asia Minor, she
was talking with Hiin who!ownsall the hang
ing gardens of heaven. Constellations the
clusters of forgetmenots, the sunflower the
chief of all, the morning sky and midnight
aurora, flaring terraces of beauty, blazing
like a summer wall with coronation roses
and giants of battle. Blessed and glorious
mistake of Mary Magdalene! "She, supposing
Him to be the gardener." What does
that mean? It means that we have an everyday
Christ for everyday work in everyday
apparel. Not on Sabbath morning in our
most seemly apparel are we more attractive
to Christ than we are in our everyday work
dress, managing our merchandise, smiting
our anvil, plowing our field, tending the flyj
ing shuttles, mendinethe garments for our
j household, providing food for our families
| or toiling with weary pen or weary poncil or
weary chisel. A working dayunrist in worKI
ing day apparel for us in our everyday toil.
Put it into the highest strain of tiiis Easter
anthem."Supposing Him to be the gardener."
If Christ had appeared at daybreak with a
crown upon His head, that would have
seemed to suggest especial sympathy for
monnrchs. If Christ had appeared in chain
I of gold and with robe dlamonde.l, that would
have seemed to be especial sympathy for the
affluent. If Christ had appeared with soldier's
sash and sword dangling at His side,
that would have seemed to imply especial
sympathy for warriors. But when I llud
Christ in gardener's habit, with perhaps the
flakes of the earth and of the upturued soil
upon His garments, then I spell it out that
He has hearty and pathetic understanding
with everyday work and everyday anxiety
and everyday fatigue.
Roll it down in comfort all through these
aisles. A working day Christ in working
day apparel. Tell it in the darkest corridor
of the mountain to the poor miner. Tell it
to the factory maid in most unventilated
establishment at Lowell or Lancaster. Tell
it to the clearer of roughest new ground in
western wilderness. Tell it to the sewing
wo ran, a stiich in the side for every stitch
In the garment, some of their cruel employers
having no right to think that they
will get through the door of heaven any
rnoro than they could through the eye of n
broken needle which has just dropped on the
bare floor from the pricked and bleeding
Angers of the consumptive sowing girl.
Away with your talk about hypostatic union
and soteriology of the council of Trent and
the metaphysics of religion which wculd
freeze practical Christianity out of the world,
but pass along this gardener's coat to all
nations that thev may touch the hem of it
and feel the thrill of the Christly brotherhood.
Not supposing the man to be Cresar,
not supposing Him to be Socrates, but "supposing
Him to be tho gardener."
Ob, that is what helped Joseph Wedgwood,
toiling amid the heat and the dust of the
potteries, until he could make for Queen
Charlotte the first royal table service of English
manufacture. That was what helped
James Watt, scoffed at and caricatured until
he could put on wheels the thunderbolt of
power which roars by day and by night in
every furnace of the locomotive engine of
America. That is what helped Hugh Miller,
toiling amid the quarries of Cromarty, until
every rock became to him a volume of the
world's biography, and he found the footsteps
of the Creator in the old red sandstone.
Oh, the world wants a Christ for the office,
a Christ for the kitchen, a Christ for the shop,
a Christ for the banking house, a Christ for
the carden, while spading and irrigating the
territory! Ob, of "course we want to see
Christ at last In royal robe and bedlamonded,
a celestial equestrian mounting the wbito
horse, but from this Easter of 1897 to our
last Eastor on earth we most need to see
Christ as Mary Magdalene saw Him at the
daybreak, "supposing Him to be the gardener."
Another thing which the church and the
world huve not noticed in regard to the resurrection
of Christ is that He made His first
post mortem appearance to one who had been
the seven deviled Mary Magdalene. One
would have supposed He would have made
His first posthumous appearance to u woman
who had always been illustrious for goodness.
There are saintly women who have always
been saintly?saintly in girlhood, saintly in
infancy, always saintly. In nearly all our
families there have been saiutly auncs. Ia
my family circle it wnstaintly aunt Phebe;
iu yours saintly aunt Martha or saintly aunt
Ruth. One always saintly. But not so was
the onesppken of in the text.
While you are not to confound her with
the repentant courtesan who hud made her
long locks do the work of towel at Christ's
foot washing, you are not to forget that she
was exorcised of seven devils. What a capital
of demonologyshe must have been! What
a chorus of all diabolism! Seven devilstwo
for tbe eyes and two for the hands and
two for the feet and one for the tongue.
Seven devils; yet all these are extirpated,
and now she is as good as once she was bad.
anJ Christ honors her with tbe first posthumous
appearance. What does that mean?
Why, it means for worst sinner greatest
trrace; it means those lowest down shall
come, perhaps, highest up; it means that the
clock that strikes 12 at midnight may strike
12 at midnoon; it means that the grace of
God is seven times stronger than sin, Marv
Magdalene the seven deviled became Mary
Magdalene the seven angeled. It means
thnt when the Lord meets us at last He will
not throw up to us what we have been. All
He said to her was, ''Mary!" Many people
having met her undor such circumstances
would have said: "Let mo see, how many
devils did you have? One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven. What a terrible piece you
were when I first met you!" The most of
t the Christian women in our day would have
j nothing to do with Mary Magdalene even
| after her conversion, lest somehow they ho
| compromised. The only thing I have to say
] against womeu is that they have not enough
| mercy for Mary Magdalene. Christ put ail
pathos and nil reminiscence and all anticipation
and all pardon and all comfort and all
heaven into one word of four letters,
"Mary!" Mark you, Christ did not appear
to some Bible Elizabeth or Bible Hannah or
jtible Esther or Bible Deborah or Bible Yash
ti. but to Mary; not to Man' against whom
nothing was said; not to Mary the mother of
Jesus; not to Mary the mothor of James: not
to Mary the sister of Lazarr s, but to seveD
Mofir
There Ls a man seven deviled?devil of
avarice, devil of pride, devil of hate, devil
of indolence, devil of falsehood, devil of
strong drink, devil of imotrity. God can
take them all away, seven or seventy. I rode
over the new cantilever br..dge that span;
Niagara?a bridtre 900 feet long. 850 Jeet of
chasm from bluff to bluff. I passed over it
without any anxiety. Why? Because twenty-two
locomotives and twenty-two cars
laden with gravel had tested the bridge,
thousands of people standing on the Canadian
side, thousands standin g on the American
side to applaud the achievement. And
however long the train of our immortal interests
may be, we are to remember that
God's bridge of mercy spanning me chasm
of sin has been fully tested by the awful tonnage
of all the pardoned sin of all the ages,
church militant standing on one bank,
church triumphant standing on the other
bank. Oh, it was to the seven deviled Mary
that Christ made His first cost mortem no
pearance.
There is another thing that tho world and
the church have not observed in regard to
this resurrection, ani that is, it was the
morning twilight.
If the chronometer hfid been invented and
Mary had as good a watch as some of the
Marys of our time have, she would have
found it was about half past 5 o'clock a. m.
Matthew says it was in the <lawn; Mark says
it was verv early in the mormng; John says
it was while it was yet dark. In other words,
it was twilight. That was the o'clock at
which Mary Magdalene mistook Christ for
thegar iener. What does that mean? It
means there are shadows over the grave unlifted?shadows
of mystery that are hovering.
Mary stooped down and tried to look
to the other end of the crypt. She gave hysteric
outcry. She could not sea to the other
end of th'3 crypt. Neither can you see to the
other end of the grave of your dead. Neither
can we see to the other end of our own grave.
Oh, if there were shadows over the family
plot belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, is it
strange that there should be some shadows
over our family lot? Easter da wn, not Easter
noon.
Shadow of unanswered question! Why
were they taken away from us? Why were
they ever given to us if they were to betaken
so soon? Why were they take n so suddenly?
Why could they not have uttered some farewell
words? Why? A short question, but a
whole crucifixion or agony in it. Why?
Shadow on the gravest of good men and
women who seemed to die before their work
was done. Shadow on all the graves of
children because wo ask ourselves why so
beautiful a craft was launched at all if it was
to be wrecked one mile outside of the harbor?
But what did Mary Magdalene have to do in
order to get more light on that grave? 8he
had only to wait. After awhile the Easter
sun rolled up, and tbe whole plaoe was
flooded with light. What have you and I to
do in order to get more light on our own
graves and light upon the graves of our
dear loved ones? Only to wait.
Charles V. of Soain, with his servants and
torches, went down into the vault cf the
necropolis where bis ancestors wore buried,
arid went deeper, farther on until ho came to
a cross around which were arranged the
caskets of his ancestors. He also found a
casket containing the body of one of his own
family. He had that casket opened, and there
by embalmer'sart he found that the body was
as perfect as eighteen years before when
it was emtombod. But under the exploration
his body nnd mind perished. Oh,
my friends, do not let us morbidly
struggle with thu shadows of the sepul'cber.
What are we to do? Wait. It is
not the evening twilight that gets darker
and darker. It is the morning twilight that
gets brighter and brighter into the perfect
day. I preach It to-dny. Sunrise over
Pere le Chaise, Bunrise over Greyfrlnrs
churbyard, sunrise over Greenwood, over
Woodlawn, over Laurel Hill, over Mount
Auburn, over Congressional burying ground,
sunrise over ev-ry country graveyard, sunrise
over the catacombs, sunrise over the

soon to be the noonday of explanation and
beatitude. It was in the morning twilight
that Mary Magdalene mistook Christ for a
gardener.
Another thing the world and the church
have not observed?that is, Christ's pathetic
credentials. How do you know it was not
a gardener? His garments said He was a
gardener. The flakes of the upturned earth
scattered upon His garments said He wac a
gardener. How do you know He was not a
gardener? Ah! Before Easter had i?one by
He gave to some of His disciples His three
credentials. He showed them His htvads and
His side. Three paragraphs written :ln rigid
or depressed letters. A scar in the right
palm, a scar in the left palm, a scar amid
the ribs?scars, scars. That is the way they
knew Him. That is the way you and I will
know Him.
Aye. am I saying this morning too much
when I say that will be one of the w.iys in
which you and I will know each other by
the Bears of earth?scars of accident, scars of
sickness, scars of persecution, scars of hard
work, scars of battle, tears of old age.
When I see Christ's resurrected body having
scars, it makes me think that our remodeled
aud resurrected bodies will havft scars.
Why, before we get out of this world some
of us will be covered with scars nil over.
Heaven will not be a bay into which
float summer yachts after a pleasuring
with the gay bunting and with the embroidered
sails as fair as when they
were first unfurled. Heaven will be
more like a navy yard where men-of-war
come in from Trafalgar and Lepanto?menof-war
with masts twisted by a cyclone, menof-war

There is one more thing that the world and
the church have not nociced in this resurrection
of Christ, and that is that Christ from
Friday to Sabbath was lifeless in a hot
climate where sanitary prudence demanded
that burial take place thesame day as death,
and where there was 110 ice to retard dissolution.
Yet, after three days He comes up
so healthiul, so robust undso rubicund Mary
Magdalene takes Him for a gardener. Not
supposing Him to be an invalid /rom a hos?
pitiJ, not supposing Him to be a corpse from
tbe tomb, but supposing Him to be the
gardener. Healthful by the breath of the
upturned sod and by a perpetual life in the
sunshine.
After Christ's interment ?very cellular
tissue broke down, and nerve and artery and
brain were a physiological wreck, and yet
Hn tin swarthv. rubicund and well.
When I see after such mortuary silence such
radiant appearance, that settles it that
whatever should become of the bodies of
our Christian dead, thay are goiDg to come>
up, the nerves restrunf, the optic nerve reillumined,
the ear drum a-vibrate, the whole
body lifted up, without its weaknesses and
worldly use3 tor which there is no resurrection.
Come, is It not almost time Tor us to
go out to meet our reanimated dead? Can
you not hear the lifting of the rusted latch?
Oh. the glorious thought', the glorious
consolation of this subject when I And
Christ coming up without any of the lacerations?for
you must remember He was lacerated
and wounded fearfully iu the crucifixion?coming
up without one! What doefi
that make mo think? That tho grave wilt
get nothing of us except our wounds and.
imperfections. Christ went into the grave
exhausted and bloodless. All the current at.
His life had poured out from His wouuds.
He had lived a life of trouble, sorrow aud
privation, and then He died a lingering
death. His entire body hung on four
spikes. No iuvalid of twenty years' suffering
ever went into the> grave so white and
ghastly aud broken down as' Christ, and yet
here He comes up so rubicund anil robust
she supposed Him to be the gardener.
Standing this morning round the shattered
masonry of our Lord's tomb, I point you to
a world without hearse, without muffled
drum, without tumulus, without catafalque
and without a tear. Amid all tho cathedrals
of the blessed no longer tho "Dead March
in Saul," but whole libretti of "Halleluiah

be of the greatest value to those who are or
may be similarly situated. She said:
"My name is Libbie Crumb. I am 56 years
old, and the wife of Maxon Crumb, a farmer
and hop raiser of Oneidn County. For the
past twenty years I have been a sufferer with
disease of the ctomach due to scrofula, and I
had constant d!z7.iness and headache, for the
greater part of my time. I do not know
what brought on the scrofulous tendency. I
do not think it is hereditary, as neither my
father nor mother had it. All I know is that
the physicians pronounced it scrofula, and

'About one year ago I was in a worse condition
than I had ever reached, aid so I
abai:idon?d my physicians and determined
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I began at
once to experience marked relief from their
use. I only took Pink Pills three weeks, and
not no many of them either, when my headache
left me, and my stomach became perfectly
comfortable, and I could rest well at
night, which I had not been able to do in
years before. Indeed, i was cured.
"I consider that Pink Pills are the only
medicine I ever took for scrofula that dill

them to my friends.

Oncer Railway Economies.
Railway economy has taken some
curious forme. "Every line is its own
manufacturer," savs the London and
Northwestern Railway, and hardly a
thing that it needs, whether n locomotive
or a printed label, is made for it
by people not belonging to the company.

When an employe has had the misfortune
to lose a limb on the line, a
wooden leg or arm, as the case may
bo, is sent to him from the carpenter's
shop at Crewe. The leg-making department
of the Northwestern employs
a couple of expert instrument makers
working continually to supply the
demand.

you will see in the carriage works a

The Midland Company has found it
advantageouR to have a "photographerin-ordinary."
If a bridge shows signs
of decay or an embankment is likely
to slip, the engineer-in-chief, on report,
sends him to photograph the
"accident" (they call everything an accident
on the railway), thus saving a
personal visit.
In the case of a "smashup," the
photographer immediately takes several
photos of the train or trains from
different points of view, so that, when

To Utilize Convict Labor. .
The Cape Cod canal would be built
bj convict labor and as a public enter- I
prise if the bill of Willard Howland, J
now before the Massachusetts. Legislature,
should pass. Mr. Howland
points out that all the private corporations
proposing to build this canal
have failed to raise the necessary
capital, and there is little prospect of
future success in that line, says Mr.
Howland. At the present time more
than half of the 5000 convicts whose
labor is available are now unemployed, 1
and it is costing the 8tate $750,000

proposes to use only short-term
prisoners on this work and would
build the canal an a State enterprise.
The scheme is approved by the
Superintendent of Prisons. Mr. Howiand
cites the employment of convict
labor for the building of the Engliph
dockyards at Plymouth and the breakwater
at Fairlield as examples of work
i>f public benefit that could not be obtained
through private enterprise.
The proposition is likely to give rise
to considerable discussion and is regarded
with favor by many interested
in the aHairs of the commonwealth.?

Locomotive Builrfin?.
It is a popular belief that certain
Rhope can build a locomotive in twenty-four
working hours. According to
Locomotive Engineering, however,
while it is possible to assemble the
parts of a locomotive in lese time than
i;his, to build an engine from specifications
requires much longer. The
j record in ttiis matter is probably held
by the Baldwin Works, which on their
i first great Russian order turned out
engines within four weeks after the
order was given, when European
j builders, according to this journal,
wanted twice as many months.
It takes four pattern-makers from
six to eight weeks to make the complete
set of patterns for a mogul-engine.
Two men will be ten or twelve
days making the pattern for a cylinder
and half-saddle and all-core boxes, so that
locomotive builders are very ex- /
peditious when they have an engine '
ready six weeks after the specifications !i!
have been received, especially with the
diverse forms and special patterns now 1
j in vogue. ?

ham's Vegetable Compound, which y 7\Jf^
for twenty years has sustained fc
thousands of women in this condition, there would be fewer disappointment *
at birth, and they would not experience those annoying " longings."
In the following letter to Mrs. Pinkham, Mrs. "Whitney demonstrates the
power of the Compound in such cases. She says:
" From the time I was sixteen years old till I was twenty-three, I was
troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible pains when my monthly
periods came on. I made up my mind to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and was soon relieved. After I was married, the doctor said I
would never be able to go my full time and have a living child, as I waa, ,M
constitutionally weak. I had lost a baby at seven months and a half. The
next time I commenced at once and continued to take your Compound through
the period of pregnancy, and I said then, if I went my full time and the baby
lived to be three months old, I should send a letter to you. My baby is now
seven months old and is as healthy and hearty as one could wish.
441 am so thankful that I used your medicine, for it gave me the roboak
health to transmit to my child. I cannot express my gratitude to yon; I
never expected such a blessing. Praise God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable ' :'Compound,
and may others who are suffering do as I did and find relief, and 1
mav manv homes be brightened as mine has been."?Mbs. L. Z. Whit>-kt, ? vj
