Washington, April 7.
Washington, April 7.—The? great
C hristian festival celebrated in all the
churches is the theme of Dr. Talmage's
discourse; 1. Corinthians, 15:20: "Now
is Christ risen from the dead and be-
come the first fruits of them that
slept.”
On this glorious Easter morning,
amid the music and the flowers, 1 give
you Christian salutation. This morn-
ing, Russian meeting Russian on the
streets of St. Petersburg, hauls him
with the salutation: "Christ is risen!”
and is answered by his friend in salu-
tation: “lie is risen indeed!” In some
parts of England and Ireland to this
very day there is the superstition that
on Easter morning tlie sun dances in
tlie heavens. And well may we forgive
such a supeiedition, which illustrates
the fact that the natural world seems
to sympatlii ; with the spiritual.
Hail, Easter morning! Flowers!
Flowers! All of them a-voice, all of
them longue, all of them fuil of
speech to-day. 1 bend over one of the
lilies, and ! hear it say: “Consider the
lilies of the valley, how they grow;
they toil not, neitherdo they spin, yet
Solomon in all his glory was not ar-
rayed like one of these.” I bend over
a rose^ and it seems to whisper: “I
um the rose of Sharon.” And then i
stand and listen. From all sides there
comes the chorus.of flowers, saying:
“If (iod so clothed the grass of the field
which to-day is and Jo-morrow is east
into the oven, shall He not much more
clothe you, O ye of little faith?”
Flowers! Flowers! Druid then! into
lie- bride’s hair. Flowers! Flowers!
frtrew the m over the graves qf tin-
dead, sweet prophecy of the resurrec-
tion. Flowers! Flowers! Twist them
into n garland for my Lord Jesus on
Easter morning, and “Glory be to the
lather, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be.” The women
came to the Saviour’s tomb, and tliev
dropped spices all around the tomb,
and those spices were the seed that
began to : row, and from them came
nil the flowers of this Easter morn.
The two angels robed in white took
hold of the stone at the Saviour’:, tomb,
tnd they hurled it with sueli force
down the hill that it crushed in the
door of the world’s sepulcher, and the
stark and (he dead must come forth.
I care not how labyrinthine the mau-
soleum or how costly the sarcophagus
or however beautifully parterred the
family grounds, we wpnt them all
broken' up by the Lord of the resur-
rection. They must come out. Fa-
ther and mother—they must come out.
Husband and wife—they must come
out. Brother and sister—they must
comi, out. Our darling children—they
must come out. The eyes that we
closed uiih each trembling fingers
must open again in the radiance of
that morn. The arms we folded in dust
must join ours in an embrace of re-
union. The voice that was hushed in
our dwelling must be returned. Oh,
how long some of you seem to be wait-
ing for the resurrection! And for
these broken hearts to-day I make a
soft, cool bandage out of Easter
flowers.
This morning I find in the risen
Christ a prophecy of our own resur-
rection, my text, setting forth the idea
that as Christ lias risen so His people
will rise. He, the first sheaf of the
resurrection harvest. He, “the first
fruits of them that slept.
quer-ir; his palace a sepulcher; hi>
fountains the falling tears of n world.
Blessed be God! In the light of this
Ranter morning 1 sec the prophecy
that his scepter shall be broken and
his palace shall be demolished. The
hour is coming when all who arc in
their grates shall eome forth. I lirist
risen, we shall rise. Jesus, “the first
fruits of them that slept.”
Now, around this doctrine of the res-
urrection there are a great many mys-
teries. You come to me iriul say: “If
the bodies of the dead are to be raised,
howls this and how is that?” And you
ask me a thousand questions 1 am in-
competent to answer, llut there arc a
great many things you believe that you
are not able to explain. You would be
a very foolish man to say: “I won’t
believe anything I can’t understand.”
Why, putting down one kind of flower
seed, comes them up this flower of this
color? .Why, putting down another
flower seed, comes there up a flower
of this color? One flower white, an-
other flower yellow, another flower
crimson. \\ h.\ the difference when the
seeds look to be very much alike—are
'cry much alike? Explain Ihese things.
Explain that wart bn^tlie finger. Ex-
plain the difference why the oak leaf
is different from the leaf of the hick-
ory. Tell me how the Lord Almighty
can turn the chariot of Ilis omnipo-
tence on a rose leaf. You ask me ques-
tions about tlie resurrection I cannot
answer. I will ask you a thousand
questions about everyday life you can-
not answer. ’
1 find my strength in this passage:
“All who are in their graves shall
come forth.” I do not pretend to
make the explanation. You go on
and say: “Suppose a returned mis-
sionary dies in this city'. When he
■was in China, his foot was ampu-
tated; he lived years after in Eng-
land, and there he had an arm ampu-
tated; lie is buried to-day in yonder
cemetery. In the resurrection will
the foot come from China, will the
arm eome from England, and will the
different parts of the body he re-
constructed in the resurrection? How
is that possible?”
You have noticed. I suppose, in
repdlng the story of the resurrection
that almost every account of the
Bible gives the idea that the charac-
teristic of that day will be a great
sound. I do not know that it will be
very loud, but I know it will be very
penetrating. In the mausoleum
where silence has reigned a thousand
years that voice must penetrate. In
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 of the earth, and they will
cry; “Give us back our bodies; we
gave them lo you in corruption; sur-
render them now' in incorruption.”
Hundreds of spirits hovering about
the fields of Gettysburg, for there
the bodies are buried. A hundred
thousand spirits coming to Green-
wood, for there the bodies are buried,
waiting for the reunion of body and
soul.
All along the sea route from New
\ork to Liverpool, at every few miles
where a steamer went down, depart-
ed spirits coming back, hovering over
tlie wave. There is where the City
of Boston perished. Found at last.
I here is where the President per-
ished. Steamer found at last. There
is where the Central America went
dou'n. Spirits hovering, hundreds of
spirits hovering, waiting for the re-
union of body and soul. Out on the
prairie a spirit alights. There is
where a traveler died in the snow.
Crash goes Westminster abbey, and
the poets and tlie orators come
forth; wonderful mingling of good
and bad. Crash go the pyramids of
Rfiypt, and the monarchs come forth.
Who can sketch the scene? I sup-
pose that one moment before that
general rising there will be an entire
silence, save as you hear the grinding
of a wheel or the clatter of the hoofs
, ■ ■■ ------- ....... Before f "■ u. wueei or me clatter or the hoof:
pet through this morning I will walk of a procession passing into the cem
f n iviii-i l, 11 i i,..........a i . .. , ,..,
through all the cemeteries of the
dead, through all the country grave-
yards, where your loved ones are
buried, and I will pluck off these flow-
ers, 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 father's grave, the mother’s
grave. And while we celebrate the res-
urrection of Christ we will at the same
time celebrate the resurrection of all
the good. “Christ, the first fruits of
them that slept.”
If I,should eome to you and ask you
for the names of the great conquerors
of the world, you would say Alexander.
Caesar, Philip, Napoleon I. All, you
have forgotten to mention the name
of a greater conqueror than all these
—a cruel, a ghastly conqueror. He
lode on a black horse across Waterloo
and Chalons and Atlanta, the bloodv
hoofs crushing the hearts of nations.
It is the conqueror Death. He carries
a black flag, and he takes no prisoners.
He digs a trench across ■ the hem-
ispheres and fills it with tlie careasses
of nations. Fifty times would the
world have been depopulated had not
God kept making new generations.
Fifty times the.world would have
sw ung lifeless through t he 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 u monarch as well us u eon-
etery. Silence in all the raves of the
earth. Silence on the side of the
mountain. Silence down in the val-
leys and far out into the sea. Silence.
But in a moment, in the twinkling of
on eye, as the archangel’s trumpet
conies pealing, rolling, crashing,
across tlie mountain and sea, the
eartli will give one terrific shudder,
and tlie graves of the dead will heave
like the waves of the sea, and Ostend,
Sevastopol and Chalons will stalk
forth in the lurid air, and the
drowned will come up and wring out
their wet locks above the billows, and
all the land and all the sea become
one moving mass of life—all faces,
all ages, alt conditions, gazing in one
direction and upon one throne—the
throne of resurrection. “All who are
in tlieir graves shall come forth.”
“But,” you say, “if this doctrine of
the resurrection is true, as prefigured
by this Easter morning, can you tell
us something about the resurrected
body?” I cun. Th’ere are mysteries
about that, but I shall tell you three
or four things in regard to the res-
urrected body that are beyond guess-
ing and beyond mistake.
In the first place, I remark In re-
gard to your resurrected body, it will
be a glorious body. The body we
have now is u mere skeleton of what
it would have been if sin had not
marred and defaced it. Take the
most exquisite statue that was ever
made bj* an urtist and chip it here
and oh Ip it there with a chisel, and
batter and bruise it here and there
and then stand it out in the storms
of a hundred years, and the beauty
would be gone. Well, the human
body has been chipped and battered
and bruised and damaged with the
storms of thousands of years —the
I physical defects of other generations
coming down from generation to gen-
eration, we inheriting the infelicities
i of past generations. But in the morn-
ing of the resurrection the body will
I be adorned and beautified according
to the original model. And there is
•no such difference between a gvmnast
| and an emaciated wretch in a hiz-
[nretto as there will be a difference
j between our bodies as they are now
and our resurrected forms.* There
you will see the perfect eye after tin-
waters of death have washed out tlie
stains of tears and study. There von
will see the perfect hand after the
knots of toil have been untied from
tlie knuckles. There you will see the
] form erect tind elastic after the bur-
dens have gone off the shoulder the
very life of God in the body. In this
| world the most impressive thing, tlie
I most expressive thing-, is the human
face, but that faee is veiled with the
griefs of a thousand years. But in
the resurrection morn that veil will
be taken away from the faee, and the
noonday sun is dull and dim aval
stupid compared with tlie out flaming
glories of the countenances of tin-
saved. When those faces of the
righteous, those resurrected faces,
turn toward the gate or loot! up to-
I ward the throne, it will be like the
[dawning of a new morning on the
bosom of everlasting day. () glorious,
resurrected body!
But I remark, also, in regard to that
body which you are to get in the resur-
rection, it will be an important body.
These bodies are wasting away. Some-
body lias said that as soon as we begin
, to live we begin to die. Euless we keep
putting the fuel into th,e furnace the
I furnace dies out. The blood vessels
j are canals taking the brendstuffs to
all parts of the system. We must be
I reconstructed hour by hour, day by
day. Siehtu-ss ami dea:h are all the
i time trying to get tlieir pry under the
tenement or to push us off the rmlmnk-
! ment of the grave. But, blessed he
God, in the resurrection we will get a
| bpdy immortal. No malaria in tlie air,
| no cough, no neuralgic twinge, no
1 rheumatic pang, no fluttering of the
j heart, no shortness of breath, no am-
bulance, no dispensary, no hospital,
j no invalid’s chair, no spectacles to im-
prove the dim vision, hut health, im-
■liortal health! O ye who have aches
: aval pains indescribable this morning,
[ ye who are never well, ye who are
; lacerated with physical distress, let
J me tell you of the resurrected body,
tree from all disease. Immortal! Im-
mortal!
I go further and say in regnrd*to
| thnj body which you are to get in the
resurrection, it will be a vigorous body,
i We walk now eight or ten miles, and
we are fatigued; we lift a few hundred '
pounds, and we are exhausted; un-
J armed, we meet a w ild beast, and we
must run or flee or climb or dodge be-
l cause we are incompetent to meet it;’
w'C toil eigli; or ten hours euergentfeai-
\ ly, and then we are weary. But in the
resurrection we are to have a body
j that never gets tired. Is it not aglori-
! ous thought?
Plenty of occupation in Heaven. I
j suppose Broadway, New York, in the
busiest season of the year at noonday
! is not so busy as IH-avep is all the
j time. Grand projects of mercy' for
| other worlds. Victories to b'e celc-
| brated. The downfall of despotism on
I earth to be announced. Great songs to
be leached and sung. Gnat evpedi-
I tions on which God shall send forth
| Ilis children. Plenty to do, but no
mtigue. If you are seated under the
j trees of life, it will not be to rest, but
j to talk over w ith some old comrade old
| times—the battles yvhere you fought
! shoulder to shoulder.
Sometimes in this world w< fei 1 we
| would like to have such a body as that,
j There is so much work to be done for
; Christ, there are so many tears to be
j wiped away, there are so many bur-
i dons to life, there is so much to be
j achieved for Christ, we sometimes
| wish that from the first of January to
I tlie last of December we could toil on
; without stopping to slety) or to take
any recreation or to rest or even to
take food that we could toil right on
! without stopping a moment in our
work of commending Christ and
Heaven to all the people. Hut we all
! get tired. It is a characteristic of the
j human body in this condition; we must
| get tired. Is it not a glorious thought
I that we are going to have a body that
will never grow weary? O glorious
' resurrection day!' Gladly will 1 fling
I aside this poor body of sin and fling
j it into the tomb if at thy bidding I
shall have a body that never wearies,
j That is a splendid resurrection hymn
that we have all sung: ,
So Jesus spot. God’s dying Ron
Passed through th • grave and blessed the
bid.

Bflflflt Occupations.
Half the world seems to have found un-
congenial occupations. Servant girls are try-
ing to teach; natural teachers arc tending
stores; good tanners are murdering law,
while Choates and Websters are running
down good farms; and good farmers, in
turn, are farming still in congress. Artists
are spreading daubs on canvas who should
be whitewashing board fences. Shoemakers
write good verses for the village paper and
natural statesmen are pounding shoe lasts,
while other shoemakers are cobbling in
legislative halls. Good mechanics and elec-
tricians are trying to preach sermons, and
wondering why tlieir congregations cont inue
to sleep, while the Beccbeis are failing as
mereha n ts.—Success.
The Twentieth Century.
The twentieth century began January 1st,
1901, and will end with 2000. J’eopledid not
X'gin to reckon time from A. D. I., but
waited until about the 550th year of the
Ihriitian era. People who begin to take
