This Is Essier Bunday—the day io which'Chnstlans celebrate th* reear* rootion of Jeeue. the Christ. He bar* ing been dioeified, waa placed in a loeh-bewn sepulchre, * atone round like a mill rock wa* fitted nicely into »be entrance, a seal wee placed upon 11, and • Roman guard paced around •bout, io keep the body aafely from his diacipiea. In th* midet ot these •nrroQDdiofs Jesus came out ol the sepulchre, Isavlng behind him only ibe vsslments in which be wee buried. „ The Romen guerd accounted for bis absence from the tomb by eeying that "bis disciple* came by night and stole him away, while we slept.” This is the simple story as z we have it free Irons all anpernatun.l Ananifes taiions, revealed to us in tbe scriptures. Os the testimony of tbe ejldiers, that the disciples took Jo«ua away while they slept, it would not be admiesable io any Court of Justice in tbe world. Tbe fact that they were aeleep when Jesus left the tomb would preclude •I) their testimony a| to hew be went. 'That testimony out, by *ll the rules of law, we have simply the fact that Jesus, • wonderful mao, was crucified and buriedyand after evtry precau tion taken, disappeared from the eep ulebre. Coming to Revelation we find pro* phecies concerning this great being • wbirb fully identifies Jesus be'ore any impartial mind as the coming Messi ah Isaiah sp.ke of such a being clearly 800 year* before He ca’me and from the promise io Eden, that tbe “seed of a woman should bruise tbe serpent's bead,” He bad been foretold by those ol Israel blessed with pro phetic vision. But as touching tbe resurrection of Jesus, tbe Psalmist, iu plain words, certainly foretold it when he said: “Thon will not leave His soul in hades, neither wilt thou suffer thiue holy one to see corruption " * We have then the revelation of a being to come, who should differ with . men who die in two important partic ulars —one that His soul would not be ( left in hades, and the other that His ( body would not be corrupted in the | grave. Other men who die are detain* ( ed in hades, and their bodies are cor- ( rupted in the graves, and the only ex ception we have to thia in the scrip tures is tbe raising of the b dies of many saints, after His resurrection, who went into tbe Holy City and ap peared unto many. That tbe bodies of these saints were spiritualized and not material bodies is clearly evidenced by the saying that they appeared unto many. The thought conveyed in tbe word "aps pearanca” is ample to show that they could not be seen until they appeared, that is, come voluntarily into view, •nd the fact that they appeared to many, yet not generally to all, con firms us in that opinion. There is no evidence that these bodies had decay ed, or not decayed. On that the scrip tures are silent and we cannot say. Oqr belief, however, is that the bodies were undecayed, and we found it on tbe idea that it would ofit be a body if decayed, and on the principle that Christ’s undecayed body was changed; and upon tbe further fact that when Jesus comes again and the resurrec tion of tbe righteous takes place, the bodies of aU tbe living saints will be , chan hat is, spiritualized. We found it upon the further state ment that St. Paul teaches us in Cor inthians XV, that "we sow not that body that shall be.” Tbe bodies of these saints then, we must believe were brought into the class of Jesus and the Saints who are alive at hi* coming. The cases of Lazarus, and Dorcas, and the widow’* son, were all cases of resussitatiun merely,and throw no light upon tbe doctrine of the res* urrecticn. They lived again, but io tbe same natural bodies, while Jesn* and the bodies of the saints that arose at his resurrection, were such as could be concealed at will from human view, and appear to men only whenever it pleased them to appear. Ibis shows us a difference that had been wrought iu Christa body and all of tbe saints who arose at his resurrection, and clearly evidences a difference between the natural body, and tbe spiritual body, and confirm* fully what Paul tell* u* in tbe chapter of Corinthian* quoted : "there is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.” Tbe rela tionship existing between the natural body and the spiritual body is on* Os the hidden things of God. So when any man boldly affirms any proposi tion-fixing this relationahip we believe he does so without authority of script ure. This we know that Christ's body was turned from a natural body into a spiritural body. He appeared in a room when the doors were all closed. AU men oould not eee him, but only those to whom he appeared- Any sensible mind can understand that a change bad taken place, lor a natural, material body ean not be handled in that way. Io Christ’* case this change took place io an uodecayed human body. When Christ comes again the same change is to be wrought io the bodies of the living saints What kind ol bodies the saints' had at the resurrection who fame oui of tbeir we do not know. Then in the light of this, are we to believe infer entially that the decayed natural bod ies of men will be brought together and be changed? Will they be changed at all? Does not tbe dissolution of tbe body and the return of its elements into natnre do sway with ths necessity of the change? Was not the change simply the de struction ol matter, as in a flash of lightning, in the twinkle ol an eye? If not the destruction of matter, was it not tbe transformation of. mattei by its'absorption into t.pirjlual life? At I any event, is it not God’s act to uuen- • cumber the spiritual natnre? If this is true, does it not unencumber itself when dissolved by the processes of na ture? If it does, then why should tbe body we put away iu the grave be called forth again? 1 Did not Paul tell us that the seed does not get its new embodiment ex cept it die? When death intervenes then, God gives -it a body as it has pleased Hina. So with man—when death Barnes, does not God give him another embodiment as it please* Him? Doe* that embodiment spring from the natural body? We can only say that the natural body of Jesus was —and the natural badies of tbe living saints at His coming will be—changed into spiritual bodies; but we cannot say that thediodies which are by na ture diesolved need to be brought to* geiher ’ again, from which God is to w.eave a spirit body for tbe dead. We repeat this is one of the hidden things, and we cannot approach it with any hope of solving it. There is nothing in nature that teaches us that any dead matter ever comes to life again. Tbe trees, the shrubs and the flowers are rrjuvenated-by tbe ‘ breath of tbe south,” and we see in spring time-*, beautiful picture of resurrected life. Bjt the dead tree, the dead shrub and the dead flower never wakes to tbe gentle smell of nature. Th* lar val insects are transformed from "worms of the dust” into beautitul winged butterflies, and some have re ceived that as an example of the res urrection ; but if tbe larval die at any time in tbe transformation the golden wings are never formed. So nature would say that whether in the flash of the last day, or in tbe natuhd dissolution; when the human body is dissolved, it has passed into a silence that knows no ending. We doubt not God’s ability to do anything. We are simply feeling af ter Him that we may know His will and comprehend His truth as it is de livered to us We believe with the wise old Pythogoras, who said: “Death has no power, the immortal part to slay, That, when its present body turns to clay, Seeks a fresh home and with undiminished might, Inspires another frame with light and lite.” ‘ CA-STORIA. she ho- z7 ‘ .
