A Propl?coy on (lor Own llesnrrcctlon ?A* fit rtat linn lltncn So Will Ills People lllne?The Iminortnl llody. ICopyrtght, 1901, by l.outs Klopsch. N. T.] Washington, April 7. Washington, April 7.?The great Christian festival celebrated in all the churches is the tlicino of l)r. Vulmage'a discourse; 1. Corinthians, 15:20: "Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept." On this glorious Raster morning, amid the music and the flowers, 1 give you Christian salutation. This morning, Russian meeting Russian on the streets of St, Petersburg, hauls him with the salutation: "Christ is risen!" and is answered by his friend in salutation: "He is risen indeed!" In some Yinrtfi nf Ivtwrlniwl n twl I roltitwl til f l\iu very day there is the superstition that on Easter morning the sun dances in the heavens. And well ninv we forgive such a superstition, which illustrates the fact that the natural world seems to sympathize with the spiritual, a Hail, Easter morning! Flowers! Flowers! All of them a-voiee, nil of there a-tongue, nil of them full of speech to-day. 1 bend over one of the lilies, and I hear it say: "Consider t ho Hlics of tho valley, how they grow; they toil not, relthor do they spin, yet W Solomon in all his glory was not urrayed like one of these." 1 bend over n rose, and it seems to whisper: "I ain tho rose of Sharon." And then 1 stand and listen. From all shies there comes the chorus of flowers, saying: "If Ood so clothed the grass of the field which to-day is and to-morrow is east into the oven, shall lie not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Flowers! Flowers! Braid them into the bride's hair. Flowers! Flowers! Rtrew them over fhe graves of the dead, sweet prophecy of the resurrection. Flowers! Flowers! Twist them Into n garland for my Ford Jesus on Easter morning, and "Glory he to the Father, and to the Ron, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be." Tho women came to the Saviour's tomb, and they dYopprd spices sll around the. tomb, nnd those spices were the seed that began to grow, and from tliein came all the flowers of this Easter morn. .The two angels robed in whir? took hold of the stone at the Saviour's tomb, end they hurled it with such force down thr hill that It crushed in the door of the world's sepulcher, and thr stark Rnd tlir dead must comr forth. I care not how labyrinthine thr mausoleum or how costly thr sarcophagus or however beautifully partcrrrd thr family grounds, we want them nil broken up by the Lord of the resurrection. They must come out. Father and mother?they must come out. Husband and wife?they must comr out. Brother and sister?they must come out. Our darling children?they must come out. The eyes that wr closed with such trembling Angers roust open again in the radiance of that morn. The nrms we folded in dust roust join ours in an embrace of reunion. The voice that was hushed in our dwelling must be returned. Oh, how long some of you srrm to be waiting for the resurrection! And for these broken hearts to-day I make a soft, cool bandage out of Easter flowers. This morning T And in thr risen Christ n prophecy of our own resurrection, my text setting forth the idea that as Christ has risen so His people will rise. He, the Arst sheaf of the resurrection harvest. lie, "the Arst fruits of them that slept." Hcfore 1 get through this morning I will walk through all the cemeteries of the dead, through all the country grnvej-ards, where your loved ones are buried, and I will pluck ofT these flowers, and I will drop a sweet promise of the Gospel?a rose of hope, a lily of joy?on every tomb?the. child's tomb, the husband's tomb, the wife's tomb, the futlier's grave, the mother's grave. And while we celebrate the resurrection of Christ we will at the same time celebrate the resurrection of nil the good. "Christ, the Arst fruits of them that slept." If I should come to you and ask you for the names of the great conquerors of the world, you would say Alexander, Caesar, Philip, Napoleon I. Ah, you have forgotten to mention - ? of a greater conqueror than all theRe ?a cruel, a ghastly conqueror. lie rode on a black horse across Waterloo and Chalons and Atlanta, the bloody hoofs crushing the lienrts of nations. It is the conqueror Dealh. He carries a black flag, and he takes no prisoners. He digs a trench across the hein, ispheres and fills it with the carcasses of nations. Fifty tiroes would the world hare been depopulated had not God kept making new generations. Fifty tiroes the world would have swung lifeless through the air?no man on the mountain, no man on the sea, an abandoned ship plowing through immensity. Again and again has he done this work with all generations. He is a monarch as well as a conqueror; his palace a sepulelier; his fountains the falling tears of a world. Blessed be Godl In the light of this Easter morning 1 see the prophecy that his scepter shall be broken and his palace shall be demolished. The hour in coining when all who are in their graves shall come forth. Christ risen, we shall rise. Jesus, "the first fruits of them that slept."

Utit ther# nr? a great many thnig* yotl belleTe that you lire not able to explain. Yoti would be a very foolish man to say: "i won't believe anything 1 can't understand." Why, putting down onf kind of flower seed, comes there up this flower of this color? Why, putting down another^ flower seed, comes there up a flower of this color? One flower white, another flower yellow, another flower crimson. Why the difference when the seeds look to be very much alike- -are very much alike? Explain these things. Explain thnt wart on the finger. Explain the difference why the onk leaf is different from the leaf of the hickory. Tell me how the Lord Almighty can turn the chariot of His omnipotence on n rose leaf. You ask nio questions about the resurrection I cannot answer. I will ask you a thousand quest Tons about everyday life you cannot answer. 1 And my strength in this passage: "All who are in their graves shall como forth." 1 do not pretend to make the explanation. You go on and any: "Suppose n returned missionary dies in this city. When lie was in China, his foot was amputated; he lived years after in KngInnd, and there he lmd an arm amputated; he is hurled to-day in yonder cemetery. In the resurrection will the foot come from China, will the arm come from England, and will the different parts of the body ho reconstructed In the resurrection? How is that possible?" You have noticed. I suppose, in reading the story of the resurrection that nlmost every account of tho Hible gives the idea that the characteristic of that day will he n great sound. I do not know that it will he very loud, hut 1 know it will lie very penetrating. la tho mausoleum where silence lias reigned a thousand years that voice must penetrate, la the coral cave of the deep that voice must penetrate. Millions of spirits will come through the gates of eternity, and they will come to the tombs vf the earth, and they will cry: "Givo us hack our bodies; wc gave them to you in corruption; surrender them now in incorrupt ion." Hundreds of spirits hovering about the fields of Gettysburg, for there the bodies are burled. A hundred thousand spirits coining to Greenwood, for there the bodies arc buried, waiting for the reunion of body and soul. All along the sea route from New York to Liverpool, nt every few miles where a steamer went down, departed spirits coming back, hovering 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 hovering, hundreds of spirits hovering, waiting for the reunion of body nnd soul. Out on the prairie a spirit, slights. There is where a traveler died in the snow. Crash goes Westminster abbey, and the poctB and the orators come forth; wonderful mingling of good nnd bud. Crash go the pyramids of Kgypt, and tlie monarchy 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 the grinding of a wheel or the clattor of the hoofs of a procession passing into the cemetery. Silence in all the eaves of the earth. .Silence on the side of the mountain. Silence down in the valleys and far out into the sea. Silence. But in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, as the archangel's trumpet comes pealing, rolling, crashing, across the mountain and sea, the earth will give one terrific shudder, and the graves of the dead will heave like the waves of the sea, and Ostein!, Sevastopol and Chalons will stalk forth in the lurid nir, and the drowned will come up nnd wring out tlicir wet locks above the billows, and all the lnnd and all the sea become one moving- mass of life?nil faces, all ages, all conditions, gazing- in one direction and upon one throne?the throne of resurrection. "All who are in their gruves shall come forth." "But," you say, "if this doctrine of the resurrection is true, as prefigured by this Kaster morning, can you tell us something nbout the resurrected body?" I can. There arc mysteries about, that, but I shall tell you three or four things In regard to the resurrected body that are beyond guessing nnd beyond mistako. In the first place, I remark In rognrd to your resurrected body, it will be ? glorious body. 'Die body we liave now is a mere skeleton of what it would hare been if sin had not marred and defaced it. Take the most exquisite statue that was ever made by an artist and oldp it hero and chip it there with a chisel, nnd batter und bruise it hero and there and then stand it out in the storms of a hundred years, and the beauty would be gono. Well, the human body lias been chipped and battered and bruised and damaged with the storms of thousands of years?the physical defects of other generations coining down from generation to generation, we inheriting the infelicities of past generations. But is the morning of the resurrection the body will be adorned and beautified according to the original model. And there is no such difference between a gymnast nnd an emaciated wretch in a lazaretto as there -will be a difference between sur bodies as they are now and our resurrected forms. There you will tto the perfeot eye after the waters of death hare washed out the stains of tears and study. There you will see the perfect hand after the knots of toil hare bee* untied froin the knuckles. There you will see the form erect and elastic after the burdens have gone off the rfhoulder?the very life of God in the hody. In this itvorld the most impressive thing; the Home Now Decisions. North Carolina has dooided that when an injury is infliotod upon an employoo or passenger, that the burden of proof is on the railroad to show that it was not the railroad's fault. Now a oourt in Chioago has givon a verdict for 17,500 against a prominent attorney for not oonduoting a lawsuit with proper oare. Aftor a whilo they will hold dootors responsible for a wrong diagnosis of diseases and druggists for mistakes in SUing proscriptions. Then there will bo fower diplomas sold by the mcdioal oollegei.*? Spartanburg Ilerald. most expressive thing:, is the human face, but that fare Is veiled with the griefs of a thousand years, Hut in the resurrection morn that veil will bo taken away from the face, and the noonday sun is dull and dim and stupid compared with the outvaluing gU tries of the countenances of the saved. When those faces of the righteous, those resurrected faces, turn toward the gate or look up toward the throne, it will be like the dawning of a new morning on the bosom of e\crlusting day. O glorious, resurrected body! Hut 1 remark, also, in regard to that body which you nro to get In the resurrection, it w ill bo an Important body. These bodies nre wasting away. Somebody lias said that as soon as we begin to live we begin to die. Unless we keep putting the fuel into the furnace the furnace dies out. The blood vessels nrc canals taking the breadstuff* to nil purts of the system. We must be reconstructed hour by tyur, day by day. Sickness and deu'h art all the time trying to get their pry under the tenement or to push us off the embankment of the grave. Hut, blessed be (lod, in the resurrection we will get a body immortal. No malaria in the air, no cough, no neuralgic twinge, no rheumatic pang, no fluttering of the heart, no shortness of breath, no ambulance, no dispensary, no hospital, 1111 ltirtlll/1'c nlinln unanlanle- " 1 ?. ~ - > ..... x? o * null , ii\> n|/cvinv;ioa t u nil* prove the dim vision, but health, im? mortal health! () ye who have aches and pains indescribable t his morning, yo who nro never well, ye who are lacerated with physlcnl distress, let me tell you of the resurrected body, free from ail disease. Immortal! Immortal! I go further and say In regard to that body which you are to get in the resurrection, it will be u vigorous body. We walk now eight or ten miles, and we are fatigued; we lift a few hundred pounds, and we are exhausted; unarmed, we uicet a wild beast, and we must run or tlee or climb or dodge beo'uusc wo are incompetent to meet it; we toil eight or ten h^ws energetically, and thou we are \.eary. Hut in the resurrection we arc to have a body that liever gets tired. Is it not a glorious 1 houghI? Plenty of occupation In Heaven. I suppose llrondwny, New York, in the busiest season of t he yeur at noonday is not so busy as lleuven is ail the time. Grand projects of mercy for otlior worlds. Victories to bo celebrated. The downfall of despotism on | earth to be announced. Great songs to be learned and sung. Great expeditions on which God shall send forth Ills children. Plenty to do, but no fatigue. If you are seated under the trees of life, it will not be to rest, but to talk over with some old oomrnde old times --the bnttles where you fought shoulder to shoulder. Sometimes in this world we feci we would like to have such a body as that. There is so much work to be done for Christ, there are so manv tears to be wiped a way, there are ao muny burden* to life, there in 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 to take any recreation or to rest or ereu to take food?that we could toll right on without stopping a moment in our work of commending Christ and Heaven to all the people. But we all get tired. 11 is a characteristic of tha human body in this condition; we must get tired. Is it not n glorious thought that we are going to hare a body that will never grow weary? O glorious resurrection day! Gladly will 1 fling 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 is a splendid resurrection hymn that we have all sung: So Jesus slept. God's dvlng Son Passed through the gravs and blessed the bed. Itest here, blest saint, till from His throne The mornlne breaks to pierce the shade. (J blessed resurrection! Speak out, sweet flowers, beautiful flowers! While you tell of a risen Chriat tall of the righteous who shall rise. May God fill you this morning with anticipation! 1 heard of a father and son who among others were ahipwreoUod at sea. The father and the son climbed into the rigging. The father held on, but the son after awhile lost his hold on the rigging and wss dashed down. The fat her supposed he had gone hopelessly under the wuve. The next day the father was brought ashore from the rigging in an exhausted state and laid on n bed in a fisherman's hut. and after many hours had passed he cam* to consciousness and saw lying beside him on the same bed his w>y. Oh, iny I friends, what a glorious thing it will be if we wake up at last to find our loved ones beside us, coming up froua the same plot in the graveyard, coming up in the same morning light?the father and son alive forever, all the loved ones alive forever, never more to weep, never more to part, never more to die. May the God of peece that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesua, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant make you perfect in every good work, to do Hie will, and let the associations of this morning transport our thoughts to the grander assemblage before the throne. The one hundred and forty and four thousand end the "great multitude that no man can number," some of our best friends among thom, we after awhile to join the multitude. Glorious anticipation! Blest are the saints beloved of Clod; Washed are their robes In Jesus' blood. Brighter than angels, lo, they shine, Their wonders splendid and sublime. My soul anticipates the day, Would stretch her wings and soar away To aid the song, the palm te bear, And bew, the chief of Slaners, there. Work on the first factory for tha manufacture of Am?Vl?on <> Mexico began last month. Mexioan leather will bo used. Something Up. Tbo State says tho dispatches tell us that Aguinaldo is buying diamonds and Jewelrey-ovidence that ho has money to sparo. Evidently there is an objeot in this announoemont, which has, it must bo romembered, passed the censor. Does the administration take this method to intimate that Acuinaldo's oapturo was scoured by bribory? In that oase Funston's fantastio foat was a fake. Or is it tho purpose to discredit Aguinaldo in the eyes of the American people. We are not euro what it is, but there is something up. s ^NAMES OF SENATORS Who Have R?pr?sent< d this Sta'e In the United States Senate FROM THE BEGINNING In the Early Days of the Republic it Was Not Unusual fcr a Senator To Resign.

Year b"f'?r? las* tho T? x as oro>> amounted to ?. 555 000 balea, 1 u even those enormous tiuurob were excelled in 1900 Sinoo tht first of last September 3,400, 000 bales of oottnn havo been market ed in Texas and a conservative estimate DUts tbo amount of Tex is cotton ?>f the last orop not yot marketed at. 250,000 bales. There is a very striking differ encc in the amount of money paid for tho orop of 1898*99 and that whioh the last orop is worth. Tho former brought about $89,000,000 Tno average irioo paid for it was 5 oonts a pound. Oving to tho gr at advanoo of tho price tho last Texas orop will bring about $109,000,000, or nearly twioe as muoh as the prcotding orop, though it was only about 100,000 bales larger. Tho great or part of tho last orop was sola at 9 cents a pound. It is gratifying to know that tho increased ojtton aorcago of Texas will not bo as largo as was expected a few wocks ago The Texas papers gonorally predict that tho crop of ojtton in that s a'o this year will Dot bo any largor than that of last yoar.
