How welcome she is , when, after a harsh winter and late spring, ] she seems t.o step out of the snowbank I rather than the conservatory, to come out , of the north instead of the south, out of | the arctic rather than the tropics, dis- J mounting from the icy equinox, but wcl- ] come this queenly day, holding high in her | right hand the wreuciieu o.t ooit 01 cans* s i stpulchcr, and holding high in her left , hand tlie key to all the cemeteries in Chris- j teniom. j JJy text is an ejaculation. It is spun out ? of halleluiahs. Paul wrote right on in his . argument about the resurrection, and ob- ] served all the laws of logic, but when he j came to write the words of the text his i fingers and his pen and the parchment on j which he wrote took tire, and he cried out, , '"Death is swallowed up in victory!" It , is an exciting thing to see an army routed , and Hying. They run each other down. ( They scatter everything valuable in the i track. Unwheelcd artillery; hoof of horse i on breast of wounded and dying man. You have read of the French falling back j from Sedan, of Napoleon's track of 90,030 corpses in the snowbanks of Russia, of the , r.*lrcat of our armies from Manassas or of ; the live kings tumbling over the rocks of Beth horan with their armies while the \ hailstorms of heaven and the swords of < Joshua's host struck them with their furv. j in my text is a worse discomfiture. It 1 seems that a black giant proposed to conquer the earth. He gathered for hi3 host all the aches and pains and malarias and i cancers and distempers and epidemics of ( the ages. He marched them down, drill- ; ing them in the northwest wind and amid ; the slush of tempests. He threw up barri- , cades of grave mound. He pitched tent of charnal house. Some of the troops inarched with slow tread commanded by > consumptions, some in double quick com- j manded by pneumonias. Some he took by j long fcesiegement of evil habit and some i by one stroke of the battleaxe of casualty. ; With bony hand he pounded at the back ; door of hospitals ana sickrooms and won i all the victories in ail the great battlelields ; of all the five continents. Forward, < march! ordered the conqueror of conquc-r- i or--, and all the generals and commandersin-chief and all presidents and kings and < sultans and czars dropped under the feet i of his war charger. But one Christmas i night his antagonist was born. i As most of the plagues and sicknesses and despotisms come out of the cast, it < was appropriate that the new conqueror i should come out of the same quarter, i Power i? given Him to awaken all the fallen < of all the centuries and of all lands and marshal them against the black giant. . Fields have already been won, but the last day of the world's existence will see the decisive battle. When Christ shall lead forth His two brigades, the brigade of the ] risen dead and the brigade of the celestial . host, the black giant will fall back, and ! the brigade from the riven sepulchers will ( take him from beneath, and the brigade of . descending immortals will take him from \ above, and death shall be swallowed up in . victory. < The old braggart that threatened the . conquest and demolition of the planet has lost h>s throne, has lost his scepter, has J lest his palace, has lost his prestige, and ( the one word written over all the gates of ] mausoleum and catacomb and necropolis. , on cenotaph and sarcophagus, on the lonely khan of the arctic explorer and on the , catafa'que of great cathedra1, written in | capitals of azalia and calla lilly. written in musical cadence, written in doxology of great assemblages, written on the sculp- . tured door of the family vault, is "Vic- i tory." Coronal word, cmbannered word. J apocalyntic word, chief word of triumphal , arch under which conquerors return. , Victory! Word shouted at Culloden and Balaklava and Blenheim, at Megiddo and Solferino, at Marathon, where the Athen- < ians drove back the Medea; at Poitiers. , where Charles Martel broke the ranks of the Saracens; at Salamis, where Themis- , tocles in the great sea fight confounded the Persians, and at the door of the eastern ' cavern of chiseled rock, where Christ came 1 out through a recess and throttled the king ( of terrors and put him back in the niche 1 from which the celestial Conqueror had J just emerged. Aha! When the jaws of 'he eastern mausoleum took down the black giant "death was swallowed up in victory." I proclaim the abolition of } death. 'the old antagonist is driven back into 1 mythology with all the lore about Stygian c ferry anil Charon with oar and boat. Mel- } rose abbey and Kenilworth castle are no , more in ruins than is the sepulcher. We shall have no more to do with death than c wo have with the cloakroom at a governor's or a president's levee. We stop at f such cloakroom and leave in charge of a servant our overcoat, our overshoes, our 1 outward apparel, that we may not bo im pcried in the brilliant round of the draw- 1 ing room. Well, my friends, when we go c out of this world we are going to a King s ^ banquet and to a reception of monarchs, 1 and at the door of the tomb we leave the J cloak of flesh and the wrappings with which we meet the storms of this world. c At the close of an earthly reception, under J the brush and broom of the porter, the ; coat or hat may be handed to us better 1 than when we resigned it, and the cloak c of humanity will finally be returned to us j improved and brightened and purified and 1 glorified. A You and I do not want our bodies re- " turned a? they are now. We want to get f rid of all their weaknesses and all their susceptibilities to fatigue and all their $Iowncs3 of locomotion. We want tliem r *1 1 I - put through a chemistry 01 sou aim nesi, ind cold and changing seasons, out of which God will reconstruct them as much better than they are now as the body of the rosiest and healthiest child that bounds over the lawn in Central Talk is better than ilic sickest patient in lteilcvue hospital. lint as 50 our soul, we will cross right over, not waiting for obsequies, indejicuciEnt of obituary, into a state in every way better, with wider room and velocities beyond computation, the dullest or us into roropanionshio wi.li the very best spirits in their very best mood, in the very parlor >i the universe.the four walls burnished and paneled and pictured and glorified with all the splendors that the infinite God in all the r.ges has been able to invent. Victory! Jv.er and anon thcrs are instances of men i:ul women entranced. A trance is death followed by resurrection after a lev/ days; total suspension of mental power and vo'imtary action. Iter. William Tcnr.ent, a rrrat evangelist of (he last generation, of whom Dr. Archibald Alexander, a nan far from being sentimental, wrote in most eulogistic term ?l'.cv. William Tcnnent seemed to die. His spirit apparently left the hofiy. People came in day after flay and said, '"He is dead, he is dead." Hut the soul that fled returned, and Will Tclitter, t lived to write what he had seen while bis soul was gone. Tt may be found some tunc that what is railed suspended animation or comatose state is brief death, giving the soul an ex cursion into t lie next won a, trorn wir.cn it comes back, a furlough of a few hours granted from the conflict of life to which it must return. Do not this waking uj> of men from trance and this waking up of injects from winter lifciessness. and this waking up of grains buried 3000 years ago make it easier for you to believe that your body and mine after the vacation of the grave shall rouse and rally, though there be 3000 years between our last breath and the sounding of the archangciic reveille? Physiologists tell us that while the most of our bodies are built with such wonderful economy that we can spare nothing, end the loss of a finger is a hinderment, md the injury of a toe joint makes us lame, 'till that we have two or three useless physical apparatuses, and no anatomist or physiologist has ever been able to tell what they are good for. They may be the foundation of the resurrection body, worth nothing to us in this state to be indispensably valuable in the next state. The Jewish rabbis and the scientists of cur day have found out that there are two or three superfluities of body that are something gloriously suggestive of another state. I called at my friend's nouse one summer day. I found the yard all piled up with the rubbish of carpenter's and mason's work. The door was off. The plumbers had torn up the floor. The root was being lifted in cupola. All the pictures were gone, and the paper hangers were doing their work. All the modem improvements were being introduced into that dwelling. There was not a room in j tnc house lit to live in at that time, al* i though a month before when I visited that house everything was so beautiful 1 could not have suggested an improvement. My friend had gone with his family to the Holy Land, expecting to come back at the end of six months, when the building was to be done. And, oh, what was his joy when at the end of six months he returned and found the old house had been enlarged and improved and glorified. That is your body. It looks well now?all the rooms tilled with health, and we couid hardly make a suggestion. But after awhile your soul will go to the Holy Land, and while you are gone the old house ot your tabernacle will be entirely reconstructed front cellar to attic, and every nerve, muscle and bone and tissue and artery must be hauled over, and the old structure will be burnished and adorned and raised and cupolaed and enlarged, and ail the improvements of heaven introduced, and you will move into ft on resurrection day. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Oh, what a day when body and soul meet agaiu! They are very fond of each other. Did your body ever have a pain and your soul not pity it, or your body have a joy and your soul not re-echo it, or, changing the question, did your sou! ever have any trouble and your body not sympathize with it, growing wan and weak under the depressing influence? Or did your soul ever have a gladness but your body celebrated it with kindled eye and cheek in/1 olnetin eton *' Rnrnlv flml iifvor lrfpttrl. :d two such good friends to be veiy long separated. And so when the world's last Easter Homing shall come the soul will descend, crying, "Where is my body?" And the body will ascend, saying, "Where is my soui?" And the Lord of the resurrection will bring them together, and it will be a perfect soul in a perfect body, introduced by a perfect Christ into a perfect heaven. Victory! Do you wonder that on Easter day we swathe our churches with garlands? Do you wonder we celebrate it with the most consecrated voice of song that we can invite, with the deftest lingers on organ and cornet and with doxologies that beat these trches with the biilows of sound as the ;ea smites the basalt at Giant's Causeway? )nly the bad disapprove of the resurrection. A cruel heathen warrior heard Mr. Mofatt, the missionary, preach about the esurrection, and he said to the mission\ry, "Will my father rise in the last lay?" "Yes," said the missionary. "Will ill the dead in battle rise?" said the cruel thieftain. "Yes," said, the missionary, rhen said the warrior: "Let me hear no rtnro ahmifr. tho roeiivrprrinn Thorp ran )e no resurrection; there shall be no resjrrection. I have slain thousands in bat;lc. Will they rise?" Ah, there will be uorc to rise on that clay than those whose :rimes have never been repented of will vant to see! I>ut for all others who alowed Christ to be their pardon and their ife and their resurrection it will be a day >f victory. The thunders of the last day will be the ;alvo that greets you into harbor. The ightnings will be only the torches of trinnphal procession marching down to es:ort you home. The burning worlds flashng through immensity will be tfee rockets :elebrating your coronation on thrones vhcre you Mill reign forever and forever md forever. Where is death ' What have ve to do with death? As your reunited )ody and soul swing off from this planet >n that last day you will see deep gashes ill up and down the hills, deep gashes all hrough the valleys, and they will be he emptied graves, they will be the abanloned sepulchers, with rough ground ossed on each side of them, and slabs will ie uneven on the rent hillocks, and there vill be fallen monuments and cenotaphs, md then for the first time you will appreiate the full exhilaration of the test, 'Death is swallowed up in victory."[Copyright, 1W2, L.
