SYMBOLISM OF THE FLO WEES.
Whv did not these women of the
bring thorns
on two of them was left a perfect law
for all ages. Concussion among the
rocks around Calvary and the cruci
fixion was made the more overwhelm,
mg. Concussion between the United
States and Mexico, and a vast area
of cornury becomes ours. Concus
sion between England and France
and most of this continent west of
the Mississippi becomes the
erty of the American Union,
cussion between icebere- and lce-
st bring thorns and nettles, for
ese would more thoroughly have ex*
essed the piercing sorrows of them-
Ivesand their Lord? Why did they
it bring some national ensign, such
that of tbo Roman eagle, typical of
nquest? No, they bring aromatics
ggesiive to me of the fact that the
Jsnel is to sweeten and deodorize the
)r!d. The world has so much of
lrefaction and malodor that Christ
going to roll over it waves of frank-
use and sprinkle it all over with
eel smelling myrrh. Thousands of
ars before this Solomon had said
at Chris', was a lily and Isaiah had
riared that under the Gospel the
sert would bloom like the rose, but
5 world was slow to take the .floral
ut. And so now the women of the
it bring hands full and arms full of
iolence and perhaps unwittingly
mirin anti emphasize the lesson of
ouorization. When Christ’s Gospel
s conquered the earth the last offense

when you see the great upheavals, the

whether among the rocks or among
the nations or in individual experience.
Outof them God will bring best results
and most magnificent consequences.
Hear the ci*ash all round the Lord’s
sarcophagus and see the glorious re-
animation of its dead inhabitant. Con
cussion 1 If ever a general European
war, which the world has been ex
pecting for the last twenty yeai-s,
should come, a concussion so wide and
a concussion so tremendous would not
leave a throne in Europe standing as
it now is. The nations of the earth
are tired of having their kings born
to them, and they would after a while
elect their kings, and there would be
an Italian republic and a German re
public and a Russian republic and an
Austrian republic, and out of the
cracks anti crevices a ml chasms of that
concussion would come resurrection
for all Europe. Stagnation is death-
ful: concussion is Messianic.
. Notice also what the angel did with
the stone after he had rolled it away
from the mouth of the Saviour’s mau
soleum, The book says lie rolled away
the stone from the door and sat upon
it. All of us ministers have pveacned
sermon about the angel’s rolling
away the stone, but we did not remark
upon the sublime fact that he sat upon
it. Why? Certainly not because he
was tired. Tbe angels are a fatigue
less race, and that one could have
shouldered every rock around that
tomb and carried it away and not been
besweated. He sat upon it, l think,
to show you and to show me that we
may make every earthly obstacle a
throne of triumph. The young men
who get their education easy seldom
amount to much. Those who had to
struggle for it come out atop.
There is no end of the story
of studying by pine knot lights
aud reading while the mules of the
towpath were resting and of goinj
hungry and patched and barefoot am
submitting to all kinds of privation to
get scholastic advantages. But the
uay of graduation came and they took
the diplomas with a baud nervous
from night study and pale from lack
of food and put their academic degrees
in the pocket of a threadbare coat.
Then stalling for another career of
hardship they entered a profession or a
business where they found plenty of
disheartment and no help. Yet say
ing: “1 will succeed*, God help me,
for no one else will,” they went on
and up until the world was compelled
to acknowledge and admire them.

A NAUTICAL SERMON.
“The old man, Dr. Griffin, was just
naming liis text. Pretty soon he un
furled the mainsail, raised the topsail,
ran up the pennants to free breeze and
I hril you tbe old gospel ship never
saned more prosperously. Trie salt

especially did it run down my cheeks.
Satan had to strike sail, his guns were
dismounted or. spiked, his various
crafts by which he led sinners captive
were all beached and the captain of
the Lord’s hosts rode forth, conquer
ing and to conquer.” Before that
sailor boy was poverty, but he con
quered it; and orphanage, but he con
quered it; and iguoraiiee, but he con
quered it; and the scoff of the world,
but he conquered it; and he rose till
every sailors’ bethel in the world
blessed him and great anniversary
flatforms invited him, and Daniel
Webster and Charles Dickens and
Frederika Bremer and poets and ore-
tors and senators sat electrified at his
feet, and his gospelizinginfluence will
go on until the last lack tar is con
verted and the sea shall give up its
dead. All the obstacles of his life
seemed gathered into one great bowl

renowned sailors' preacher, rolled back
the stone and sat upon it
Yet do not make the mistake that
many do of sitting on it before it is
rolled away. It is bound to go if you
only tug away at it If not before,
then I think about 12 o’clock noon
of resurrection day you will see
something worth seeing. The general
impression is that the resurrection
will take place in the morning. The
ascent to the skies will, hardly occur
immediately. It will take some hours
to form the procession skyward and
we will all want to take a look at this
world before we leave it forever and
see the surroundings of the couch
where our bodies have long been
sleeping. On that Easter morning
the marble, whether il lay flat
upon your grave or srood up in
monument, will have to be jostled
and shaken and rolled aside by the
angel of Resurrection, and while wait
ing for your kindred to gather and
the procession to form your resurrect
ed body may sit in holy triumph upon
that chiseled stone which marked the
•STRENGTH BY STRUGGLING,
The fact was that the obstacle be
tween their discouraging start and
their complete success was a rock of
fifty tons, but by resolution, nerved
and muscularized and re-enforced by
Almighty God, they threw their arms
around the obstacle and with the
strength of a supernatural wrestler
rolled back the stoue, and, having be
come more than conquerors, they sat
upon it. Men and women are good
and great and useful just in propor
tion as they had to overcome obstacles.
You can count upon the fingers of
your one hand all the great singers,
great orators, great poets, great pa
triots aud great Christians wno never
had a struggle. That angel that made a
throne of the bowlder at Christ’s tomb
went back to heaven, and I warrant
that, having been born in heaven and
always had an easy time, he now speaks
of that wrestle with the rock as the
most interesting chapter in all his an
gelic lifetime. O men and women
with obstacles in the way, I tell you
that those obstacles are only thrones
that you may after a while sit on. Is
the obstacle in your way sickness?
Conquer it by accomplishing more for
God* during your invalidism than
many accomplish who have never
known an ailment. Are you perse
cuted? By your uprightness and cour
age compel the world to acknowledge
your moral heroism. Is it poverty if
Conquer'it by being happy in the com
panionship of your Lord and Master,
who in all his life owned but sixty-
two cents and that he got from a fish’s
mouth and immediately paid it all out
in taxes to the Roman assessor, and
who would have been buried in a pot
ter’s field had not Joseph of Arimatnea
contributed a place, for he who
had not where to lay his head during
his life had a borrowed pillow for
the last slumber. There is no throne
that you are sure to keep except that
whicn you make outof vanquished ob
stacles. An ungrateful republic at the
ballot box denied Horace Greeley the
highest place at the national capital,
but could not keep him from rising
from the steps of a Hew York printing
office on which he sat one chilly morn
ing waiting for the boss printer to
come that he might get a job, until he
mounted the highest throne of Ameri
can journalism. He rolled hack the
stone and sat upon it. A poor orphan
boy, picking up chips at Richmond,
Va., accosted by a passing sea captain
and invited to come on board bis ves
sel, drops the chips and starts right
away and is tossed from port to port
and, homeless and friendless, wanders
one day along Tremont street, Boston,
and sees Park Street church open and,
speaking of it afterward on a great oc
casion and using sailors’ vernacular,
as was usual with him, ho says: “1

made for the gallery and scud under
place of your protracted slumber. On
that day what a fragile thing will be
Aberdeen granite and column of ba
salt and the mortar which will rattle
oilt of the wall of vaults that have
been sealed a thousand years, and the
Taj, built for a queen in India, a sep
ulcher two hundred and seventy-five
feet high, and made of jasper ana cor
nelian and turquois and lapis-lazuli
and amethyst and onyx and sapphire
and diamond, and which shall that
day rain into glittering dust on
groves of banyan ana bamboo
and palm. And all under what
power? Ponderous crowbars wielded
by giants? No. Thunderbolt cleaving
asunder the granite? No. Battering
ram swung against the walls of ceme
teries? No. Dynamite drilled under
the foundations of cenotaph and ab
bey? No. It will be done by music.
Nothing but music, sweet but all pen
etrating music. The trumpet snail
sound] You say that is figurative;
how do you know? But, whether lit
eral or figurative, it means music any
how. The trumpet, that stirring, in
cisive, mighty instrument, with a nat
ural compass from G below the staff
to E above, blown above Sinai when
the law was given, blown around Jeri
cho when the walls tumbled, blown
when Gideon discomfited the Midian-
ites, blown when the ancient Israel
ites were gathered for worship, to be
blown for the raising of the dead in
the last great Easter. The mother,
who, when the child must be awak
ened, kisses its eyes awake, does well.
THE GREAT RESURRECTION.
But the trumpet, which, when the
dead are to be aroused kisses the ear
awake, does better. Be not surprised
if the dead are to be awakened by
music. Why, that is the way now
we raise the dead. Take the statistics,
if you can, of the millions of souls
that have been raised from the death
of sin by hymns, by psalms, by solos,
by anthems, by flutes, by violins, by
organs, by trumpets. Under God what
hosts have been resurrected by Ira D.
Sankey, by Thomas Hastings, by Wil
liam £>. Bradbury, by Lowell Mason,
by motherly lullabies, by church dox-
ologies, by oratorios. If we raise the
dead now by music, be not surprised
that on the last day the dead are to be
raised by music.
The trumpet shall sound! And that
instrument shall have plenty of work
to do on the day mentioned. It will
have to sound through all tlie pyra
mids, which are only names for sepul
chers, and liberate the buried kings.
And through hypogean graves which
were built m mounds and the hypo
gean graves which were dug in rocks
and through the nine hundred wind
ing miles of catacombs under and
around the Roman Campagna, where
over seven million human beings
sleep. And through all the crystal
sarcophagi of Atlantic and Pacific and
Mediterranean and Caspian and
Black sea deeps. And over all the
battle fields of continents, until
all the fallen troops of English
and French and Italian and German
and Russian and Persian and Ameri

during our civil war, when I was,
with some others under the auspices
of Hie Christian commission, looking
after the wounded, Federal and Con
federate, one moonlight night I was
where. I could look down upon the
tents of the sleeping army. Oh, what
an imposing spectacle l But my sub
ject calls us to look down upon a
mightier host of soldiers slumbering
then* last sleep in the bivouac of the
dust: the seven hundred and fifty
thousand slain in tho Crimean war,
the eight hundred thousand slain in
our American war, the fifteen million
slain in the wars of Sesostris, the
twenty-five million slain in Jewish
wars, th* thirtv-tVo million slain in
wars of Gbengis Khan, the eighty
million slain in the wars of the Cru
saders, 'the one hundred and eighty
million slain in the Roman wars. Aye,
according to Dr. Dick, tlie dead in
war, if each one occupied four feet of
ground, would make enough graves to
reach four hundred ana forty-two
limes around the earth.
THE INNUMERABLE DEAD.
Tlie most of people are dead. The
world is a house of two rooms, a base-
meut, and a room above ground. The
basement lias two to one, three to one,
four to one more occupants than the
superstructure. Sickness and war and
death have been stacking their har
vests for near six thousand years.
Where are those who saw the Pilgrim
Fathers embark, or the Declaration of
Independence signed, or Franklin lasso
the lightning, or Warren Hastings
tried, or Queen Elizabeth in her trium
phal march to Kenilworth, or Will
iam, Prince of Orange, land, or Gus-
tavus Adolphus crowued, or Jerome of
Prague burned at the stake, or Tamer-
lana found his empire? Gone I Gone!
But the trumpet shall sound. Music
to raise the dead. Oh, how much the
world needs it You take a torch and I
will take a torch and we will go
through some of the aisles of the Ro
man catacombs and see the expectant
epitaphs on the walls and riglit over
where the departed sleep. Yon know
that these catacombs are fifty or sixty
feet underground, and if one loses the
guide or his torch is extinguished, he
never finds the way out So let us
stay close together and with our
torches, as we wander along a small
part of these nine hundred miles of
underground passages, seethe inscrip
tions as they were really chiseled
there on both sides the way. On your
side you read by the light of your
torch: “Here rests a handmaid of
God who out of all her riches now
possesses but this one hpuse. Thoq
wilt remain in eternal repose of
happiness. A, D, 380.” On my
side I read by the light of the
torch: “Aurelia, our sweetest daugh
ter; she lived fifteen years and four
months, A. D. 323.” On your side
ydh read: “Here bath been laid a
sweet spirit, guileless, wise and beauti-
fuL Buried in peace. A. D. 388.”
On my side I read: “You well deserv
ing one, lie in peace. You will rise.
A temporary rest is granted you.
Plaucus, her husband, made this.”

“Arethusa sleeps in God.” “Navira

teen years, a soul sweet as honey;
this epitaph was made by her parents.”
THE GLORIOUS RESURRECTION.
But let us come out from these cata
combs and extinguish our torches, for
upon all these longings and expecta
tions of all nations the morning of
resurrection dawns. The trumpet shall
sound! And the sooner it sounds the
better. Oh, how we would like to gc*i
our loved ones back again l If we are
ready to meet our Lord, our sins all
pardoned, what a good thing if this
moment we could hear the resounding
and reverberating blast 1 Would you
not like to see your father again, your
mother again, you/ daughter again,
your boy again and all your departed
kindred again? Roll on sweet day of
resurrection and reunion] Under the
hoofs of the white steeds that draw thy
chariot westrew Easter flowers. Would
it not be grand if we could all rise to
gether? You know that the Bible says
we shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed. What if we should be
among the favored ones who never have
to see death, and that while in the full
life of our body we should hear that
trumpet sound and these mortal bodies
tako on immortality. Oh, how I would
hasten to two places before the close
of such a day—peaceful Greenwood
and tho village cemetery back of Som
erville. And I would cry aloud: “The
hour has come, the trumpet has sound
ed, the resurrection is here. Father
and mother, you were tlie best of all
tho group, now lead the way 1” The
earth sinks outof sight. 'Clouds under
foot. Other worlds only-milestones on
the Kind’s highway. We rise! We
rise! We rise I to be forever with the
Lord and forever with each other. May
we all have part in that first resurrec
tion l
In this dark world of sin and pain
We only meet to port again;
But when we reach the heavenly shore
We there shall meet to part no more.
The hope that we shall see that day
Should chase our present griefs away.
Alan to Blame.
I am going to quote from a modern
writer of stories—a woman—on this
subject of corsets:
“A woman never thought of lacing,
any more than of marrying, until
man put it into her head. Man impu
dently says: ‘What a dear little creat
ure! What a sweet little waist to
squeeze,’ etc., and so every woman
tries to be dear and little and squeez
able. The foolish part is for a woman
to imagine a corset string will make
her so. But* from the days of Eve
(after the fall, of course) to .the pres
ent moment a small waist has been an
object in life. Yet there is no real
beauty in a laced up figure, and dis
ease is written all over it.”
You see? They all feel the same
way, but yet few are willing them
selves to give up their small waists.—

poles plunk, plunk on the pavement.
And yet, while file tears of tne.JU s. m.
are laying the dust on Broadway, a
prominent citizen is heard to say:
“Make the chips fly, Mayor Grant. It
is a long time since New Yorkers have
Been a public officer teach insolent pri
vate corporations that they can be kept
within bounds. Cut the wires and pull
down tho poles. Tlie streets of New
York belong to the people, and boodle is
not yet supreme, although there are
some folks who seem to think otherwise.
“We have no tears for the companies
that have fought the authorities and the
law by every means in their power,
cringing and groaning one day and snarl
ing like dogs the next. They have lied
again and again. They have debauched
every lever of public opinion within their
reach. They have exhausted the re
sources of the legal profession. They
have besmirched the officials who sought
to enforce the law,
“The people are with you, Mayor
Grant. Tear from the streets every pole
that is not protected by law. The time
for words is past.”
It is next to impossible to get into Jo
seph Keppler’s studio in the Puck build
ing. A bearded German at the door tells
all commers that Mr. Keppler is too busy
to be seen. It is only one card out of
ten that he will even take inside the door.
To the rest he says:
“Call in two weeks.”
Mr. Keppler’s rush is caused by pre-
E arations for the gigantic display which
ie Germans, are going to make in the
civic centennial parade. There will be
about thirty-five great tableaux mounted
on wagons, and his work is to make de
signs for each of these. The designs
cover all fields, mythological, historical,
artistic, military, mechanical, artisan
and trade. Mr. Keppler sketches each
^design roughly, and explains the minutiae
to some other artist, who fills in the de
tails, colors it, and submits it to Mr.
Keppler.

Bryan McSwyny has organized an Ir
ish 400, which he will bring out at a big
centennial ball. This ball will be a much
bigger thing than the bffil of Mr. McAl
lister and his 400 on the same evening.
The ball will follow a banquet, the $10
tiokets to which are already selling like
hot cakes. Mr. McSwyny’s committee
of arrangements for the banquet and ball
includes Judge McAdams, Col. Cockerill,
Congressman Amos J. Cummings and
Frank B. Thurber. The official list of
McSnyny’s 400, which he published Sun
day, is full of O’Haras,O’Shaunesys,Con
nellys, Sullivans and Macs. C.-G.
