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."

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,

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.

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.
