AT THE TABERNACLE. DR TALMAGE TELLS OF THE GLORI OF THE RESURRECTION. The Earth aud the Sea SUaaII CivO Their Dead. and tie Reunion Will Such a NO Imaination Can Pictur4 The Glorifled Body. BRooKLYN, April 2.-The Taberr cle was elaborately decorated with flo era today, and su unusually large au( once assembled to hear Rev. Dr. Ti magePs Easter morning sermon. TI subject was, "The Sleepers Awakened the text chosen being from 1 Cori thians xv, 20, "Now is Christ ris from the dead and become the first frui of them that slept." On this . glorious Easter mornin amid the music and the flowers, I gii you Christian saiutation. This mornit Russian meeting itussian on the streel of St. Petersburg hails him with the a lutation, "Christ is risen!" and is a swered by his friend in salutation, "I is risen indeed!" In some parts >f 'n land and Ireland to this very day tie is the superstition that on Easter mni ing the sun dances in the heavens, an well may we forgive such a superstitioi which illustrates the fact that the na ural world ecems to sympathize with ti spiritual. Hall, Easter inornine! Flowers! Flov eral All of them a-voice, all of thei a-tongue all of them full of speech toda: I bend over one of the lilies, and 1 hel it say, "Consider the liliee of the fiel bow they grow; they toil not, neithor ( they Bpin, vet Solomon in all his glol was not arrayed like one of these." bend over a rose, and it seems to whi per, "I am the rose of Sharon.' A: then I stand and listen. From all sidt there comes the chorus of flowers, sa: lVg, "If God so clothed the grass of th field, which today is ai tomorrow cast into the oven, shall lie not muc more clothe you, o ye of little faith?" Flowers! Flowers! Braid them in the bride's hair. Flowers! Flower Strew them over the graves of the dc -sweet prophecy of the resurrectioi Flowers! Flowers! Twist them into garland for my Lord Jesus on East morning. "Glory be to tha Father, at to the Son, and to the Hlcy Ghost; as was in the beginnilg, is now and cv shall be." Oh, how bright and how beautiful tf flowers, and how much they make n think of Christ and his religion, th brightens our life, bri-hters our clara ter, brightens societv. brightens 0 churcli, brightens everything! You wi go with gloomy countenace preteniiii you are better than I am because your lugubriousness, you cannot chc me. Pretty case you are for a man ti professes to be more than a conquerc It is not religion that makes you gloom it is the lack of it. There is just much religion in a wedding as in a b 'al; just as much religion in a smile in a tear. Those gloomy Christians we son times see are the people to wyholm I ! to lend money, for I never sec, t h, again! The women caeine to tihe Si iour's tomb and they dro;ped spices aroundi the tomb, and those spices we the seed that began to grow, and( fr< them camne all the flowers ot this Ea>st morn. The two angels r'ohedl in wvh took hold o' the stone at the Saviou. toamb, and1 they hurled it wIth such for do.vin the hill that it erushed in the doi of the world's sepunilcher,i' a'nd the sta v,d the dead must comec forth. I care not how labyrinthinie the nma soleum or how costly the sarcophagi or however beautifuilly pan.rtrred ti family grounds, we wanit them all brol en up by the Lord of' the rcsurrectio, They must come out. Father aid mot or they rmust come out. Il usbaund at wife-they must conic out. Brother am sister-they must comle out. Our da ling children-they must come oui Th'le eyes that we close with such tren bhing fingers imulst open again in the ri diance of that morn. The arms we ft( h ed in dust must join ours in an emubrat of reunion. The voice that was hiushit In our dwelling must hie returned. 01 how long some of you seem to be waei lug-waiting for the resurrection, wivi ing! And for these broken hearts toda I make a soft, cool bandage out Easter flowers. My friends, 1 find in the irisen Chiri a prophecy of our own resurrection, n' text setting forth the idea that as Chrl has risen so his people will irise. Hie ti first sheaf of the resurrection harv'es He "the first finiits of them that slept. Before 1Iget through this morning I w: walk through all the emeteries of' th Cead, through all the countryV graveyan wl-ere your loved oneis are buried, and will pluck ofi' these flowers, and1( i wi drop a sweet promise of the gospel a rose of hope, a lily of ,joy on eyei tomb-the child's tonib, the husband tomb, the wile's tomb, the father's giai ti-e mother's grave, and while we cel brate the resurrection of Christ we wvi at the same time celebrate the resurre tion of all the good. "Christ the hir fru'.ts of them thia silpt.'" If I should come to you this mornir and ask you for the mames of the L rei conq aerors of the world, YOU would sr Alexander, Caesar, Philip, Napolean.

You ask tl- me questions about the resurrection I ie cannot answer. I will ask you a thous , and questions about everyday life you cannot answer. I find my strength in this passage, n "All who are in their graves shall come ts forth." I do not pretend to make the eplanation. You can go won and say: L "Suppose a returned missionary dies in re Brooklyn; when he was in China, his foot was amputated; he lived years alter ' in England, and there he had an arm amputated; he is buried today in Green wood. In the resurrection will the foot come from China, will the a,m come SIroII England, and will the different c parts of the body be reconstructed in the . resurrection? How is that possible?" d You say that "the human body changes every seven years, and by 70 years or age a man has had 10 bodies. e In the resurrection which will come up?" You says: "A man will die and his body crumble into the dust, and that n dust be taken up into the lile of the vege 7 table. An animal may eat the vegetable; ir men eat the animal. In the resurrec I. tion, that body distributed in so many 1o directions, how shall it be gathered up?" y Have you any more questions of this I style to ask? Come on and ask them. .1 (10 not pretend to answer them. I d fall back upon the announcement of M God's word, "All who are in their . graves shall come forth." e You have noticed, I suppose, in read is ing the story of the resurrection that al h1 most every aIcount of the Bible gives the idea that the characteristic of that ,o day will be a great sound. I do not s! know that it will be very loud, but I Ld know it will be very penetrating. In 1 the mausoleum where silence has reigned a a thousand years that voice must pmne Ar trate. In the coral cave of the (leep id that voice must penetrate.

''All who are in their y graves shall conme forth.' st "Bnut," you say, "if this dloctrine o1 ic the resurrection is true as prefigured by t. this Easter morning, Christ 'the first '' fruits of them that slept,' Christ rising 11 a piromine and a prophecy of the rising e of all his peopile, can you tell us some la thing about the resurrected body?"' I I cani, There are mysteries about that, II but ! shall tell you three or four things - in regardl to the resurrected body that y are beyond guaessing andl beyond mis s take. e In the first plec, 1 remark, in regard to your resurrectedl body, it, will be a Iglorious body. The body we have now is a mere skeleton what, it would have btheein it sin hiad not marred1 and (defaced it. Ta'ike the most, exquisite statue that was cver made b)y an artist and chip; it, it there with a chisel and batter and bruise *V it, hero andl there andi then standl it, out - in th3 st.rms of a hiundredl years, and 0 the beauty would be gone. *Well, the human body has been chip Vped and battered and bruised and dlam e agedl with the st.orms 01 thousands a -years-the physical defects of other C tenerations commg down from genera -. tion t.o generation, we Inheriting t,he in felicities of past generations, but, in the a5 morning of the resurrection the bodg Bs will be adorned and beautified accordiny . to the original model. And there Is no Id such difference between a uymnast and idan emaciated wretch in a lazaretto as s-as there will be a difference between our ~g bodies as they are now and our resur ~e iected forms. n- There you will see t,be perfect eye af 3.ter the waters of (deathi have washedl out Ste stains of tears and study. There ce~ you will see the Perfect hand, aft,er the ce knots",of toll have been untied from the ug knuck~les. There you will see the form In erect and elastic, after -the burdens have 4 gone om th e bo oulder-..the very i te of enl In this world the most impressive me thing, the most expressive thing 1s the me- human face, but that face is veiled with 3eath griefs of a thousand years, but in the oit' resurrection morn that veil will be taken away from the face, and the ona Dy sun Is dull and dim and stupid comare with the outflaming glories of the coun may tenances of the saved. When thsose be faces of the righteous, those resurrected t?" laces, turn toward the gate or look un mns toward the thsrone, it will be like gg are dawning of a nlew morning on the bos ive om of everlasting day! Oh, glourious, on resurrected body! my, But I renutrk also, ln regard to that body which you are to get In the resur rection, it will be an immortal body. These bodies are wasting away. Some- 'h body has said as soon as we begin to live we begin to die. Unless we keep put. ting the full into the furnace the furnace dies out. The blood vessels are danals ox taking the breads uft's t. all parts of the fol systalm. We must be reconstructed hour Br day by day. Sickness and death are the all the time trying to get their prey un- tal der the tenement, or to push us off the cal embankment of the grave. But, blessed c be God, in the resurrection we will get a we body inmortal. Ir No tnalaria in the air, no cough, no E. neuralgic twinge, no rtieumatic pang, no on fluttering of the heart, no shortness ot ireath, no dispensary, no hospital, no pr invalid's chair, no spectacles t 3 Improve Dc the dim vision. But health. immortal 1o health' 0 ye who have aches and pains in indescrioable this morning-o ve wh> to are never well--O ye who are'lacerated Ui with physical distresses, let me tell vou se, of the resurrected body, free fro n all. an Immortall Immortal! coi I will go farther and say, in regard to that body which you are to get in the resurrection, it will be a powerful F body. We walk now eight cr ten Pe miles, and we are fatigued; we lift a an few hundred pounds, and we are ex- Ti hausted; unarmed, we meet a wild "( beast, and we must, run or fly or climb int or dodge because we are incompetent to meet it; we toil eight or ten hours so vigorously, and then we are weary, but w< in the resurrection we are to have a of body that never gets tired. Is it not a Al glorious thought? M Plenty of occupation in heaven. I p) suppose Broadway, New York, in the A busiest season of the year at noonday Jr is not so busy as heaven is all the time. A Grand projects of mercy for other . worlds. Victories to be celebrated ml The downfall of despotisms on earth tir to be announced. Great songs to be m( learned and sting. Great expeditious on which God shall send forth his chil- tin dren. Plenty to do, but no fatigue. If at you are seated under the trees of life, an it will not be to rest, but to talk over an with some old comrade old times-the wi battles where you fought shoulder to co shoulder. Sometimes in this world we feel we co would like to have such a body as that. There is so much work to be done for co Christ, there are so many tears to be A wiped away, ther- are so many burdens tet to lift, there is so much to be achieyed 8P for Christ, we sometimes wish that ne from the first of January to the last of f December we could toil on without arg stopping to sleep, or take any recrea- i tion, or to rest, or even to take food- hi that we could toil right on without ph stopping a moment in our work of wa commending Christ and heaven to all Mg the people. But we all get tired. It is characteristic of the human ML body in this condition; we must get Mi tired. Is it not a glorious thought at that after awhile we are going to have (U a body that will never get weary ? Oh, to glorious resurrection day! Gladly will sai I Iling aside this poor body of sin and ter ing it into the toib if at thy bidding agi I shall have a body that never wearies. pei That was a splendid resurrection hymn ma that was sig at my father's burial: eai do Jestis lept; God's dying son log pa'serd tirougi tite grave and blessed the cou bell.I I est lhei e, blessed saint, till from his throne 'Tlim iorning breaks to pierce the shade. all Oh, blessed resurrection!

A number of ladie and gentlemen called on the Governc Wednesday, and the Governor wa deeply interested in the story of he heroism. He asked for Miss Geiger picture. The story of Emily Geiger' wonderful heroism is told in the fo lowing poetic description. This I copied from the first copy of the origi hal, whieli is now in the possession o Mrs. John B.

Ilount In Hlawall. WVASII ING' TON, A pril 6.-Dis patche from Honolulu under date of march 2 says the United States revenue cuttel Rush arrived here this morning, uln days from San Francisco, having om board Ex-Congressinan Blount, c Georgia, who was appointed commis sioner to investigate the existing cond] tion in i-iawaii and report as the ex pediency of the annexation of' thel islands to the United State~s. As soon as the 'mutter wats siirhted 01 Koko Head, at 9 A. M., the busines men went to work and in a short tim the streets and buildings were coverei with flags andl bunting, The towns peop)le turned out en masse and by I o'clock, when the Rush anchored ii in Naval row, the docks and street were covered. Tjhe m ill steamer A.ustralia, whic1 was scheduled to leave at noon, was hell back, and from her deck the band of th, Provisional Government w elcomed the new arrivals with the strains of tha "Star Spangled Banner.'' A dlelegatiol from the A nnexation Club was hastil' fromed and welcomed the commissione at the hcat landing. A party of abou seventy-five Hawaiian women lron th< women's branch of the HLawaiianm Pat riotic L gue, bearing the American an< Hawaiian flags, also proceeded to thb dock, iDr. J. S. McGrew, Chairman, an< President F. Scott and Gen. Hiartwel as a committee Irom the Annexatioi Club, United States Minister Stevens F. P. Hastings, seretary of foreign af fairs and aide to Pasdent Dole, Majo Robertson, the Queen's chamberlain and the newspaper correspondent pu oir' to the Rush to pay their respects t< the commissioner. The news that onl' one person had been sent mn that capaci ty to the islands soon spread to thi shore and occasioned much surprise, Commissioner Blount declined to be in terviewed1, but from casual conversatlot it would seem that his labors here ma' cover a period of' several weeks. Tin Rush will probably ret.urn to San Fran. cisco in that time. Commissioner Blount didl not loavi the steamer for several houre, and con, sequently a reception by the HIawallar League and the Annexation Club di( not take place. The Rush brought dis, patches from Washington to Admniro' Skerrett and also the Provisional Gov enent, but the nature of them could hot be learned. After the first feeling of surprise had passed away an expres. mion of sailsfaction at the arrival of the :>mmissio'ner prevailed among the an aiexationists. The Rush brought no mali from the States, and the arriyal of the Rio de Janeire, which is expected to put in here to-morrow on her way to China, is i#alted for Iirther particulars as to the mentiment in Amerlea. 4A THE RAILROAD CASES. 07 Will Probably Be Decided Agalast the State.
