THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA, GA-, TUESDAY APRIL 27 1886 TABERNACLE SERMON PREACHED YESTbHUAY IN BROOK* LYN TABKHNACLB. ■ A DiKsonrae by the arut OtTint on “EMUrtlia"- abe TafccrnsoU Crowded to Orwflowing, and Sc tat Kali r Dteorated—dome Beautiful Tbotxgbta on the HeourrocUoa. Brooklyn, N. Y, April 23.—[Special.]—'The Brooklyn tabernacle waa elsborately decor* tod today, both in platform and galleria. Within the church a scene of rare beauty waa pro- -tented, the platform being covered with flower* arranged fn various device* and breathing forth a delicate aroma. The building was so crowded that the door* were held open by the . premure, and many person, were turned away, being unable to get forther than the iron gate* on the atreet. In addition to the uaual artiste* of the church, Mrs. Florence Blce-Koox sang twice. The opening hymn, in which tlx thou- (and voicea joined, waa: •TTopralee Thee, O Ood, for the Son of thy lore, Jot Jesus who died and la now gone above.” • The subject of the sermon was “Eaatortldo.” Dr. Talmage took his text from 1 Cor., xv 20: “Now it Christ risen from tho dead, and be come the first fruits of them that slept," Ho Spoke as follows: On this glorious Easter morning, amid the tnnsic and the flowers, I give yon Christian salutation. This morning Buaaian meeting Russian on the streets of 8* Petersburg hails him with the salutation, “Christ la risen,” smd is answered by hit friend (in salutation, “He Is risen ladeed." In tome parts of Eng land and Ireland to this very day there it the superstition that on Easter morning the ann dances In the heavena; and well may we for give such a superstition which illustrates the foct that the natural world seems to sympa thise with the spiritual. Hail! Easter morning. Flowers! Flowers; AH of them a voice, all of them a tongue, all of them foil of speech today. I bend over one of the lilies and I hear it say: “Consider the lilies of tho field, buw they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin, yot Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these." I bend over a rose and it seems to whisper: “I am the rose of Sharon.” And then I stand and listen. From all tides there come* the chorus of flowers saying: “If God to clothe tho grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow It cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe yon, o yo of little frith?” Flowers! Flowers! Braid t bride’s hair. Flowers! Flower*! Strew them over the grave* of the day, tweet proph ecy of the resurrection. Flowers I Flowers! Twist them into a garland for my Lord Jesus on Easter morning. “Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it vraaln the beginning, is now and ever shall Why, if a rainbow this morning had fallen smd struck the galleries and struck the plat form, the scene could not have been more xmdiant. Oh! how bright and how besutifol the flowers, and how mneb they make me think of Christ and hi* religion, that bright ens everything it touches, brlghtons onr life, brightens onr cnaracter, brightens society, brightens tbechurch, brightens every thing. Yon who go with gloomy countenance pretending yon are better than I am because of your lugubrionaness, yon cannot cheat me. Yon old hypocrite! I know yon. Pretty cate yon arc for a man who professes to be more than conqueror. It is not religion that makes yon gloomy, it it the lack of it. There isjust as much religion in a wedding aa in a burial, Inst at much religion in a smile as in a tear. Those gloomy Christians we sometimes see are the people to whom I like to lend money, for I never tee them again! The women came to the Saviour's tomb and they dropped spices all around the tomb, and those spices were the teed that be gan to grow, and from them came all' the flowers of this Easter morn. The two angels robed in white took hold of the stone at the Barter's tomb and they hurltd it with such forte down the hill that it crushed in the door of tho world's sepulchre, and the stark and tho dead most como forth* I care not how labyrinthine tho mausoleum or how costly the sarcophagus or however beautifully parterred the family grounds, we Want them all broken up by the Lord of tho resurrection. They moat come out. Father and mother—they most como out. Husband and wife—they must come out. Brother and sister—they must oome out. Onr dar ling children—they must come ont. •The eye* that wa close with anch trembling finger* most open again in the radiance of that morn. The arms we folded in dust must join ours in an embrace of reun ion. The voice that wu hushed in our dwel ling must bo returned, O, how long some of you seem to be waiting—waltiog for the resur rection, waiting I And for thee* broken hearts today I make a toft, cool bandagoontof Eastor flowers. Six years ago, the night before Easter, I re ceived 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 tho dead shall rite." There was especial reason why at that time I should have that card sent me, and I present the tame consolation today to all in this house; and who has escaped? My friend*, this morning 1 find in the risen Christ a prophecy of nur own resurrection, tny text setting forth tb* Idea that as Christ hat risen so His people will rite. He the first sheaf of th* resurrection harvest; He “tbs first fruits of them that slept." Before I get through this morning, I wtlll walk through all the cemeteries of tb* dead, through all the country graveyards, where your loved ones are buried, ana I will pluck off these flower* and I will drops tweet promise of th* Gospel —a rose of hope, a lllly of Joy on every tomli— the cbUd'a tomb, the husband’s tomb, th* wife's tomb, the father's grave, the mother’s grave: smd while we oelebrate the resurrection of Christ we wUl at the same time celebrate the xetnrrection of all good. “Christ tho first fruit* of them that slept ’’ If I should come to you this morning and ask you for the name of the great conqueror of th* world, you would say Alexsudor, Caesar, Phil ip, Napoleon I. Ah, my friends, you havs for gotten to mention th* name of a greater con queror than all these—a cruel, a ghastly con queror. He rod* on a black horse across Water loo, Atlanta and Chalons, th* bloody hoob crushing the hearts of nation* It is the oon- queror Death. H* carries a black flag and h* take* no pritonsr*. He dig* a trench across the hemisphere* and fills It with the carcasses af nation* Fifty timet would the world have been depopulated bad not God kept making new generations. Fifty times would the world have swnng lifeless through the air—no man on the mountain, no man on th* sea, an aban doned ship ploughing through Immensity. Again and again has he done this work with all generation* Hs I* a monarch aa well at a Conqueror: bit palace a sepulchre, his foun tains th* foUing tear* of the world. Blessed be Ood, in the light of this Easter morning I teethe prophecy that bis sceptre shall he broken and bis palace shall be demolished. The hour is coming when all who are in their wmre* shall come forth. Christ risen, we Shall rise. Jeans “the first fruits of them that NOW, around this doctrine of the resurrec tion there are a great many mysteiie* You com* to me thle morning and amy: “If the bodies of the deed arc to be raised how is this and bow is that?" sod yon ask me a thousand notation* I am incompetent to answer; but thin* are a great many tbinga von believe that yon are not thle to explain, Yon would be a very foolish man to say: “I won’t believe eny- thing I can’t understand."

Explain the difference —why th* oak W U different from tke leaf Oi the hickory. Tell me how the Lord Al mighty can turn the chariot of Hie omnipot* slice on a rose leaf. You ask ms questions about the retorrection I cannot answer. I will aak yon a thousand questions about every day life you cannot answer. 1 find my strength in this passage: “AU who are in their graven shall come forth." I do not pretend to make the explanation. You go OB and say: “Suppose a returned missionary dies in Brooklyn; when ho sraa In China his foot waa amputated; he lived years after in England; ho is buried today fn Greenwood; iu the resurrection wUl tho foot oome from England and will the different parte of the body bo reconstructed In the reeurrectiou? How it that poaaible?" You say that the human body changes every reren years and by seventy years of age a man has had ten bodies? Iu the resurrection which will come up you sty: “A man will die and hie body crumble into the dust and that dust be taken np into the life of the vegetable; an animal may eat the vegetable, men eat the animal; in the resurrection that body, dis tributed in so many direction* how shall it bo gathered np?” Have yon any mom ques tions of this style to ask? Como iu and ask them. I do not protend to answer them, i foil hack upon tho announcement of God’s word: “AU who are in their graves shaU come forth.” fc-You have notioed, I suppose, in reading the story of the reeurrectiou, that almost every account of the Bible give* the idea that the cberacteristio of that day wiU bo a great sound. I do not know that it will be very loud, but I know that it wUl be very ponotrating. In the mausoleum whore silence has reigoed a thou sand years that voice must penetrate. In the coral cave of the deep that voloe mast pene trate. Millions of spirits will oome through tho gates of eternity, and they willcomoto the tomb* of tho earth, and they will cry: ” Give ne back onr bodies; wo gave them to yon in corruption, surrender them now in iu- corruption.” Hundreds of spirits hovering about the engs of Gettysburg, for there the bodice are buried. A hundred thousand spirits coming to Greenwood, for there tho bodies era buried, waiting for the reunion of body and soul. All along the tea route from New York to Liverpool, at every few mile* where a steam er went down, deported spirits comiog back, hovering over tho wave. There is whore the city of Boston perished. Found at lost. There is where tho President perished. Steamer found st last. There is where the Central America went down. Spirits havering, hum d reds of spirit* hovering; waiting for there, union of body and soul. Out on the prairie a spirit alights. There is where a traveler died id the snow. Crash goes Westminster Abbey, and the poete and orators come forth. Won' derful mingling of good and bad. Wilber, force, the good; Queen Elizabeth, the bad. Crash go the Pyramids of Egypt, and, the monarch* come forth. Who can sketch the acene? I suppose that ono moment before that genera! rlslug there will lie an eternal silence save as you hear the grinding of a wheel, or tho clatter of tho hoofr of a procession passing into tho cemotory. Silence in all the caret of the earth. Silence on the side of tbsrmountain. Silence down in the valleys and far out into the sea. Silence. But in » moment, in tho twinkling of sn eye, as tho archangel's trumpet comet polling, tolling, crashing across the mountain and sea, tho earth will give ono terrific shudder and tho grave* of the dead will heavo llko tho wavsa of tho sea, and Oatend and Sebastopol and Chalons will stalk forth In tho lurid air, and tho drowned wUl come up and wring ont their wet locka above the billow, and all the land and all tho res become one moving man ot life—all face* all ages and conditions gazing in ona di rection and upon ono throne, tho throno of the resurrection. “All who are in their graves shall come forth.” “But,” you say, "if thladoctrlne of the res urrection is true as prefigured by this Enter morning, Christ, ’th* first fruits of them that slept,’ Christ rising, a promise and a prophecy of tho rising of all his people, can you tell ns something about tho resurrected oody?” I can There are mysterln about that, but I shall tell yon three or fonr things in regard to the resurrected body that are be yond guesting and beyond mistake. In the first place, I remark in regard to yonr resurrected body, it wUl be a glorious body. Tho body wo have now Is a mere skeleton of what it would have bean if ain had not marred and defaced it. Tako tho most exquisite statne that was evar made by an nrtlat and chip it here and chip it there with a chisel, and batter and lira lie it here and there end then stand it ont in the storm of a hundred years, and tho beauty would be gone. Well, the human body has been chipped and battered end braised and damaged with the storm of a thousand years— the physical defects of other generation* com ing down from generation to generation, wo inheriting tho infelicities of pest generations; but in the morning of the reearroctlon the body will be adorned and beautified according to tho original model, and there la no inch difference between a gymnast and an emacia ted wretch In m lazaretto aa there will be a difference between onr bodies as they are now and our resurrected form* There you wiU see tho perfect eye after the waters of death have weened out the stains of tears and study. Than yon will seo tho per fect hand after th* knot* of toll hsvo boon untied from tho knuckle* There yon will see the form erect and clastic after the bur dens have gone off the ehoalder—the very life of God in the body. In thie world the moet impress!vo thing, tho meat expressive thing, is tho human face; bnt that face 1* veiled with the griefs of a thou* •and year* In the resurrection morn that veil will lw taken away from the face, and tha noonday sun is dull and dim and stupid com pared with the ootflamlog glories of the coun tenances of tho saved. Whan thorn frees of the righteous, those resurrected face* turn toward tho gate or look np towurd the tbrono, it will be like the dtwnlog of a now morning on the lioaomof everlasting day! 0 glorious resurrected body! But I remark also in regard to that body which yon are to get In the resurrection, it will bo an Immortal body. These bodies are wasting away. Homebody has said aa soon as we begin to live wo begin to die. Uuleuwe begin putting the fuel into the foresee the foresee dies ont. Tho blood vessels are canala taking the breadstnflb to all parte of tho sj stem. We must be reconstructed hour by hour, day by d*y. Sickness and death are au the time trying to get their prey under the tenement or to posh us offtb* embankment of the grave; bnt, bleosed ho God! in the reso reaction wo will get a body immortal. No malaria In tbs air, no congb, no nenralgte twinge; no rheu matic pang, no fluttering of th* heart, no shortness of breath, no ambulance, no dis pensary. no hospital, no Invalid’s obalr, no spectacles to improve tho dim vision; bnt health, immortal health. O ye who havo aches and pains Indcacribabla this morning; O yo who are never wall; O ye who ere lacer- etid with physical distrusts, 1st m* tell you of tho resurrected body, free from aU disease! Immortal! immortal! I go farther and say In regard to that body which yon are to get In the resurrection, It will be a powerful body. Wo walk now eight or ten miles and we are fetigned. W* lift a few hundred pound* and we are exhausted; unarmed we meet a wild beast and we most run or fly or climb or dodge because we are incompetent to meet it; wa will toil eight or ten hours vigorously and then we are weary; bnt in tbo resurrection wo are to havo a body that never gets tired. Is it not a glorious thought? Plenty of occupation in heaven, I suppose, and Broadway, New York, in the bmiest sea son of the yea rat noonday, is not so busy as heaven is all the time. Grand projects of mercy for other worlds. Victories to he cel- ebrated. Th* downfall of despotisms on earth to be announced. Great songs to bo learned and sung. Great crpeditlons|ou which God shall scud forth His children. Plenty to do bnt no fatigue. If yon are seated oodcr the tree of life It will not be to rest, bat to talk over with some old eomrade,oId times— the battles where yon fought shoulder to shoulder. Jacob and tb* sngol wrestled to gether. Jacob waa not thrown because tho angsl favored him. Bat one* gat your resur rected body and tbo angsl eoud not wrestle yon down. It is impossible to wreotls down the giants of God oo high—strong, suppla, un exhausted, mighty, Immortal. Oh, to It not a glorious thought? Sometimes In this world we feel wo would like to havo inch a body as that. There is so much work to be done for Christ, there are so many tears to bo wiped away, there are so many hardens to lift, there is so much to be achieved for Christ, wo sometime* wish that from the first of January to tho last of Decem ber we could toil on without stopping to sloop or take any recreation, or to rest or even to tako food—that wo could toil right on without stopping a moment in our work of commend- log Christ and heaven to all the people; bnt we all got tired. It is a characteristic of the human body in this condition. We must got tired. Ia it not a glorious thought that after a while, in the service of God, we are going to have a body that will never get weary? O glorious resur rection day I Gladly will I fling aside this poor body of ain and fling it into the tomb if at Thy bidding I shall have a body that novel wearies That was a splendid resurreotion hymn that was snog at my father’s burial: “Bo Jcsos slept, God's dying Son Passed through the grave and blessed the bed; Best here, bleat saint, till from His throne The morning breaks to pierce the shed*" O, bleated resurrection I Speak out, sweet flowers, beantlfol flowers! While yon toll of a risen Christ, tell of the righteous who shall rise. May God fill yon thle morning with an ticipation I I heard of a fothcr and son, who, among other* were shipwrecked at sea. The father and the son climbed into tho rigging. Tho father held on, but tho son, nftor n while, lost his bold in tho rigging and was dashed down. Tho father supposed he had gone hopelessly un der the wave. The next day the frtherwas brought ashore from tho rigging in an exhausted eteto and laid on a bed in a fisher man’s but, and after many hoars had passed he came to consciousness and saw, lying be side him on the same bed, his boy. O, my friends, wbat a glorioni thing it will be to wako np at last to find onr lovod one* besido os! Coming np from the same plot in the same graveyard, coming up in the same morn ing light—the father and son alive forever, all tbo loved ones alive forever, nevermore to weep, nevermore to part, nevermore to die. . May the God of peace that brought again from the dead onr Lord Jeans, that groat Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of tho everlasting covenant, make yon perfect in every good work, to do ilia will; and let this brilliant scone of the morning transport onr thoughts to tho grander assem blage before tho throne.
