“My beloved is unto me as a bed os spices, as'
sweet flowers.—Solomon’s Song, v., iO. 13.
Solomon’s Song is considered by many a
fit only for moonstruck sentimentalists.
Written by a voluptuary, a man crazed with
a fair maiden, book unfit for family pray
ers and for churches. We must admit that
the author of it, Solomon, for a long time
had several hundred wives more than he
was entitled to, but he afterward repented
of his sins and God chose him to write some
of the sweetest songs about Jesus Christ
that were evep written. Let me say that
this modern criticism which we now hear
about what is called the immodesty of the
Bible comes with very poor grace from an
age in which some of the worst French nov
els have come to their fiftieth edition, and
when on some of the parlor tables of re
spectable people there are books abomina
ble. For every pure-minded man and wo
man, Solomon’s description of Jesus Christ
has a holy enchantment. Why should we
all the time be hovering about a few violets
in the Word of God, when there are so many
azaleas and rhododendrons and fuchsias
and amaranths and evening primroses for
the close of life’s day, and crocuses for the
foot of the snow-bank of sorrow, and hearts
ease for the troubled, and passion flowers
planted at the foot of the cross, and morn
ing glories spreading out under the splen
dors of daybreak? On this glorious Easter
morn, when this house of God by loving
and sympathetic and Christian hands has
been so gloriously decorated, are we not all
ready in affection and enthusiasm of soul to
cry out in the words of my text as written
by Solomon: “My beloved is like a bed of
spices, as swset flowers?” Two weeks ago
this Sabbath morning, in one of the cities
of the South, there was a knock at my door,
and a second and a third knock, and a bun
dle of wild flowers was handed in the door,
and the promise was that they should be
given to me. “No,” said the lad, “I wish
to hand them myself,” and so he presisted,
and I was glad he handed me a few wild
flowers, and how much they .meant for him
and how much they meant for me when I
received them: and if I were so pleased by
that gift of the poor lad who had gathered
the flowers out of the fields of Georgia, do
you not think the Lord Jesus Christ, bone
of our bone, flesh of our flesh, heart of our
heart, is pleased when we offer these gar
lands?
I propose this morning to tell you why
these flowers are symbolic of Jesus Christ.
In the first place, I remark, because of their
sweetness. No sooner this morning had you
opened one of these doors than you breath
ed it. Those who stand in the corridors
this moment inhale the redolence. The air
from floor to ceiling is filled with the per
fume. O, the sweetness of the Easter morn
ing flowers, symbolical of Christ!
more radiant. O! how bright and how
tifnl the flowers, and how much they
T te me think of Christ and His religion,
brightens everything it touches—bright
er life, brightens our character, bright-
ociety, brightens the church, brightens
•ything. You go with gloomy coun
pretending you are better than
because of your lugubriousness:
cannot cheat me. You old hypo-
I know you. Pretty case you
for a man that professes to be
e than the conqueror. It is not religion
t makes you gloom :y it is the lack of it.
ere is just as much religion in a wedding
as in a burial: just as much religion in a
smile as in a tear. Those gloomy Chris
tians we sometimes see are the people to
whom I like to lend money, for I never see
them again! The religion of Jesus Christ
brightens our life. David was not any bet
ter when he said, “Out of the depths of hell
have I cried to thee, O Lord,” than when he
said, “My mouth was filled with laughter,
and my tongue with singing.” O! take that
sprig of cypress out of your coat lappel and
put in some of the flowers of Easter morn
ing. “Her ways are the ways of pleasant
ness, and all her paths are peace.” I have
found it so. Hundreds of you have found it
so. Well may they to-day plant a palm at
either end of the platform—this one seem
ing to cry, “Hosanna!”—that one seeming
to cry, “Hosanna!”
“The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.”
“How sweet the name of Jesus Bounds
In a believer’s ears;
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fears.”
The name of Caesar means power. The
name of Herod means cruelty. The name
of Alexander means conquest. The name of
Demosthenes means eloquence. The name
of Phidias means sculpture. The name of
Benjamin West means painting. The name
of Howard means reform. The name of
Christ means love. Sweetest name that ever
melted from lip or heart. As when you open
an old chest which has long been closed, the
first thing that strikes you is the perfume of
the herbs wrapped amid the clothing, so
there are thousands of hearts here this
morning which, if opened, the first of all
would present the name of Christ. O! He
is such a sin pardoner, such a trouble heal
er, such a wound binder, such a grave
breaker, that the faintest pronunciation of
His name this morning wakens all to the
odors of tropical gardens and all the redo
lence of Easter day, while you cry out in
enthusiasm of love: “My beloved is unto
me as a bed of spices, as sweet as flowers.”
How shall we describe His sweetness to
those of you who have never breathed : t&T
How shall we tell the beauty of His face to
those who have never seen ; t? How shall
we tell the glories of His love to those who
have never experienced it? Is it all a feeble
sentimentality, this story of my text, which
compares Christ to the flowers? O! no; I
could give you the names of men who were
far from sentimentalism who were over
come with the thought of a Savior’s sweet
ness. John Edwards, a cool logician,
charged with many things, but never
charged with any sentimentality, at the
name of Jesus sat down and wept in joyful
emotion. Paul, a logician, nerves unmoved
in the Mediterranean shipwreck, a granite
nature, shaking his fist in the face of the
governments of earth and the face of dark
ness, yet is overwhelmed at the story of a
Savior’s sweetness—thrilled, overjpowered,
crying out: “All in all is Christ; I am per
suaded that neither height, nor depth, nor
l&ngtli, nor breadth, n6r ally other creature,
shall separate me from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus my Lord.” John
Knox, a most unbending nature, the light
ning of his indignation making the queen
to shiver and the duchess quake, as far as
possible, from all sentimentalism, is thrilled

Yes, I go further and remark that these
flowers make me think of Christ because
they are restorative. Did you ever carry a
bouquet into a sick-room? Did you ever
put a bundle of flowers in a pale hand and
then see how the cheek flushed and how the
eyes flashed? Any doctor will tell you there
is a time when a bundle of flowers may de
cide the case. Just in the crisis of the dis
ease, and the patient is doleful and depress
ed, a bundle of flowers comes in and the
patient is hopeful and convalescent. O! the
flowers are so very restorative, and they make
me think of Christ. I have been in a sick
room after a consultation of physicians had
been held, and they said there was no hope,
and this grace of God symbolized by the
flowers, this grace of Jesus Christ, lifted the
soul as by a divine restorative. The hand of
Christ is the softest pillow, the pardon of
Christ is the strongest stimulus, the comfort
of Christ is the mightiest anodyne, the sal
vation of Christ is the grandest restorative.
There is not a fever, there is not a neural
gia, there is not a consumption, there is
not a morasmus but the grace of God will
help. I have seen and you have seen men
made triumphant over disease by the power
of this grace, this wonderful restorative.—
Nero having bedaubed the Christians of his
day with pitch and tar, set them on fire to
light up his grounds by night; but louder
than the crackling of the flames, and louder
than the cursing of the mob, arose the song
of praise and triumph from the martyrs.
John Bradford went out in the presence of
the instrument of torture which was to put
him to death, and they stood by, expect
ing he would retract, and surrender his re
ligion; but when he saw the instrument of
torture which was to put him to death he
cried out, “I am a Christian now if I have
never been before.” And so the lion of
Jndah’s tribe has again and again torn to
pieces the wild beasts of the Coliseum. 0!
what an example this whole country has
recently had of the restorative power
of this religion, of which the flowers
are symbols. Restorative in long pain and
disease. Fifty years of invalidism. During
the past few weeks I was in some seven
teen States of the Union, and I saw many
thrilling scenes, many beautiful scenes, but
nothing more impressed me than the obse
quies at Atlanta when Gov. Stephens was
carried out to his last resting place. A
man who could say over and over again,
“My two prayers, gentlemen, are the Lord’s
Prayer and the publican’s.” Educating 124
young men who otherwise would not have
attained their education. A black man
wringing his hands at the funeral and say-

at the story of a Savior’s love and is willing
to die for Him. Solomon, surrounded by all
palatial splendor, his ships going forth on a
voyage of three years to bring back the
wonders of the world, his gardens afloat
with myrrh and frankincense, and arustle
with the leaves of trees brought from for
eign lands, the remains of his stupendous
gardens found to-day by the traveler—Solo
mon, seated in his palace thinking of Clirist,
the altogether lovely aucP the altogether
fair, as the perfume of aromatic woods
floats in the palace window and the aroma
of the royal gardens comes to his senses,
cries out: “My beloved is unto me as a bed
of spices, as sweet flowers.” 0! rich and
rare and exquisite and everlasting perfume.
Put it in every poor man’s window, plant it
on every grave, put its leaves under every
dying pillow, twist,, it in every garland, wave
it in every home, and when I am about to
die, and this hand is white and stiff and
cold upon the pillow, put in that hand some
Easter flower, some rose of Sharon, some
lily of the valley, something typical of Him
whom my soul loveth. It is now more than
thirty years since I found the Lord, and I
feel impelled this morning, in your pres
ence, to tell how sweet He has been to my
soul. Since that time I have thrust Him
many a time hard in His sore side, but He
has been patient with me by day and by
night. It is the grief of my life that I have
so badly treated Him, but He has never let
me go. It has been the same story all the
the way through—faithfulness on His part,
unworthiness on mine. I have not had such
Christian experience as some who sit before
me, to whom Christ has been the conq
on the white horse, or the bridegroom
ing forth with lanterns and torches,
sun of righteousness setting evei
ablaze with light. With me it has
more quiet, a more undemonstrativi
rience—something wry quiet, bi
sweet. To what shall I compare it?,
it now: “My beloved is unto me
spices, as sweet flowers.”
Again, I remark that the fl<r
me think of Christ because of thi
ness. Why, if a rainbow this moi
fallen and struck the galleries am
tbe platform, the scene could not ha'
ing to my wife, “Ah! few will miss him as I
miss him, for I expected to have an educa
tion. He told me I should have an educa
tion. He told me I could come every morn
ing and blacken the boots of his guests, and
he would pay me, and pay me largely, and I
could lodge around the Governor's mansion,
and I could come in and get my meals. He
assured me I would have an education. Now
I will not get it. I have lost a great deal to
day,” said the poor black man. The last
time I saw him, by accident and uninten
tionally of course, £» surprised him in his
devotions. I saw him talking with God. and
I dared not speak. 0! the restorative power
of this reKgiq/to him. Every day he said
he had a time devoted to communion with
God, and he said, “That is the way I keep
up under this sixty years of pain.” I do not
wonder that Georgia sobbed at those stu
pendous obsequies in which I had the privi
lege to commingle. I do not wonder that
good men all the world over mourned his
loss. O! there is a restorative power in the
Christian religion. That is what holds me
up. That is what holds you up. There are
those here who for a long while have been
in physical suffering. God knows the story.
God has helped you. God has blessed you.
You know that these flowers, when they
sympolize Christ as a restorative power,
speak the truth. And so as a restorative
power for all backsliders. What do 1 mean?
I mean that man who used to pray but does
not pray now. I mep that man who used
to frequent the house of God, but who sel
dom comes to the place of prayer. I mean
that man who used to sit at the place of
communion, but who seldom takes the
Lord’s cup. Sliding back. It is a very ex
pressive word—backslider. Sliding back
from your father’s example, your mother’s
love. Sliding back from God, sliding back
into darkness, sliding back toward an un
blessed grave, sliding back toward a preci
pice where the first ten million miles down
ward is only a part of the ptfilige. In the
country you Wer6 professors. You have
made shipwreck in town. Did the club
blast you? Did fashionable life destroy
you? Did the kind of wife you married
make you worldly? I do not know what
it was, but you sit here to-day and you feel
you have no more religion than if you had
dwelt in Central Africa and had never heard
of God and the Judgment Day. 0! murdered
hours. O! massacred privileges. O! dead
opportunities, come back this day, come
back and cry in that man’s ears; arouse him
from his horrible somnambulism, walking
as he does fast asleep within an inch of his
overthrow. 0! this restorative power, you
want it. “Restore unto me the joys of thy
salvation.” Is that your prayer? It is
mine. For great sin, great pardon. For
deep wounds, omnipotent surgery For
blind eyes, a divine oculist. For deaf ears,
a heavenly aurist. For the dead in sin, the
upheaval of a great resurrection.
But once more I have to say that these
flowers especially speak of the Lord of the
resurrection. Resurrection! The women
came to the Saviour’s tomb and they dropped
spices all around the tomb, and those spices
were the seed that began to grow, and from
them came all the flowers of this Easter
mom. The two angels robed in white took
hold of the stone" at the Saviour’s tomb, and
they hurled it with such violence down the
hill that it crushed in the door of the world’s
sepulchre, and the stark and tbe dead must
come forth. I care not how labyrinthine
the mausoleum, or how costly the sarcopha
gus, or however beautifully parterred the
family grounds, we want them all broken up
by the Lord of the Resurrection. They
must come out. Father and mother—they
must come out. Husband and wife—they
ust come out. Brother and sister—they
;ust come out. Our darling children—they
st come out. The eyes that we closed
|th such trembling fingers must open again
the radiance of that mom. The arms we
ded in dust must join ours in an embrace
reunion. The voice that was hushed in
dwelling must be retuned. The form
,st come up without its frailties, and with-
its imperfections, and without its fa-
THE L0ST_ CHILD.
A FATE WORSE THAN ABDUCTION,
How Parents, by a Back of Precaution
and Care, are Responsible for
the Death of Their
Children.
Camden, Me., Herald.
The moral and legal responsibility of pa
rents, in the care of their children is, for
tunately, attracting the serious attention of
the better portion of the entire country.
The many instances of child beating, op
pression, and other forms of cruelty which
have come to light, demand that something
be done; and it is gratifying to know that
the people are becoming thoroughly
aroused. Whether the cruelty be in the
form of physical violence or physical neg
lect matters not the principle in both cases
is the same. The man or woman who neg
lects his or her own health may be par
doned, as the consequences fall upon the
individual alone; but the parent or guardian
who permits the inroads of disease upon the
innocent ones dependent upon him for pro
tection, is criminally liable in the sight of
God, however he may appear in the eyes of
men. There are, however, parents that in
tend to care for their children, but, who
through carelessness or the urgency of other
duties, permit them to become the innocent
victims of disease. Such parents may be
guiltless of intentional wrong, but the dis
astrous results upon their children are just
as great.
These are truths which must be manifest
to every worthy parent, and especially in a
vicinity where the unknown effects of the
atmosphere, the water and the general ten
dency to malaria is so great. There are
many families in this locality who have
been called upon to mourn untimely losses,
even when the greatest care was exercised;
but the experience of one only will be given:
It is that of the late W. O. Thomas. The
children were all most promising, but for
some unexplained reason their health and
strength seemed to gradually lessen until
their friends feared they were the victin a o c
consumption. One by one they sickened
and died until thn e had departed and two
of the surviving brothers were also taken il.
Their names were Hermon and Edward.
Hermon, however, seemed the stronger of
the two; and, while 1 is younger brother was
confined to the house constantly, and to his
bed much of the time, Hermon was able to
be about, but in so weak a condition that
he had no desiiti to play. Eddie’s symptoms
were terrible! He found difficulty in re
taining food upon his stomach, was restless
and irritable, and out of his head frequents
ly. At various times three physicians visit
ed him, and each one told his friends he
could not live. He finally got so low that
death was only considered a matter of a few
days. At that critical time his elder broth
ers, aroused almost to the pitch of despera
tion by the three deaths that had so recently
occurred, and the other one starring them
in the face, resolved to take the case into
their own hands. They accordingly d'd so,
and secured a remedy that was then bein
universally used, and began giving it to
him. Its effect was at first slight, but any
improvement was considered a good symp
tom. By degrees his strength returned; he
was able to eat with a relish, then walk
about the house; and finally he regained
complete health and strenth. The boy was
so rejoiced at his recovery that, accompa
nied by the editor of this paper, he went
befoi'S Justice Charles K. Miller and made
oath to the facts of his sickness as above re
lated, and that he was restored to perfect
health by the use 0f Warner’s Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure.
. t, Now, Ldwarii Thomas’s parents, while
1 tney lived, undoubtedly, provided faithfully
or the wants of all their children; and yet
the seeds of disease had taken deep root.
Their care in one direction had been coun
teracted by unknown carelessness in an
other. Their love was sincere, but wholly
misdirected. They should have known that
children are just as liable to kidney and
liver diseases as grown up people: and that
the fatality of Bright’s disease of the kid
neys is just as great among little children !
as with adults. This is a serious subject. !
Hereditary traits: the after consequences of |
measles and scarlet fever, diphtheria and
the passing troubles which so easily become
chronic, all demand the greatest care and
caution. No case of cholera infantum,
measles, scarletina, or diphtheria was ever
virulent while the child’s kidneys and liver
were healthy. It would simply be an im
possibility. These important organs of the
body are just forming within the child and
growing with its growth; and they can be
trained to truth and uprightness.
The importance of carefully watching the
slightest troubles of the child, and espe
cially those affecting the kidneys and liver,
cannot be too strongly emphasized. Chil
dren respond so readily to the proper reme
dies and are so sensitive to disease, that it
is a sin to deprive them of one at the risk
of incurring the other. By a judicious treat
ment these essential organs can be devel
oped so that a strong constitution, able to
resist the inroads of disease through coming
years, shall be the result.
ressurrection. waiting, and for these broken '
hearts to-day I make a soft, cool bandage 1
out of Easter flowers. Two years ago, the
night before Easter. I received an Easter
card on which there was a representation of
that exquisite flower, the trumpet creeper,
and under it the words, “The trumpet® shall
sound and the dead shall rise.” There was
especial reason why at that time I should
have that card sent me, and I present the
same consolation to-day to all in this house,
and who has escaped? When Lord Nelson
was buried at St. Haul’s Cathedral. London,
all England was stirred. As the funeral pro
cession moved on, it moved amid the sob
bing of a nation. Thirty trumpeters stood
at the door of the Cathedral with musical
instruments in hand, and when the illustrous
dead arrived at the gates of St. Paul’s Cathe
dral these thirty trumpeters blew one united
blast, but the trumpets did not wake the
dead. He slept right on. O, I have to tell
you this morning that what thirty trumpets
could not do for one man, one trumpet will
do for all nations. Time passes on. The
clock of the world's history has struck nine,
ten, eleven, twelve, and time shall be no
longer. The archangel hovers. He takes a
trumpet. He points it this way. He puts
its lips to his lips, and he blows one long,
thunderous; reverberating resurrectionary
blast. Look! They arise! The dead! The
dead! Some come from the family sepulchre,
some from the city cemetery, some from
the country graveyard. This soul united to
that body. This spirit united to that body.
Myriads of spirits rehabilitating themselves
in radiant forms ready for the ascension.
The world burns. Bonfire of a great victory.
Ready now for the procession of reconstruct
ed humanity. Christ leads on. All the
battalions and all the nations of the Chris
tian dead follow. Upward and away, on,
on, on. Ranks of the Lord God Almighty,
forward, forward! Lift up your heads, ye
everlasting gates, and let the conquerors
come in. Resurrection! Resurrection!

Senor Felipe Poey, a famous ichthyologist
of Cuba, has recently brought out an ex
haustive work upon the fishes of Cuban wa
ters, in which he describes and depicts no
fewer than 782 distinct varieties, although
he admits some doubts about 105kinds, con
cerning which he has to get yet more exact
information. There can be no question,
however, he claims, about the 677 species
remaining, more than half of which he first
described in previous works upon this sub
ject, which has been the -study of his life.
