AN EASTER SERMON
HiE.ICHED AT TUB THE TARERNA
CLE BY DE. TALMAGE,
•• Easter in Gre aw »<•<!,” the Subject of
It is Discourse —alaclipelali the First
Cemetery—Resurrection Day.
Brooklyn, N. Y.. March 25.—The Easter
services in the tabernacle today were at
tended by immense audiences. Beautiful
floral decorations almost hid the pulpit
from view, and the great organ gave forth
its most rapturous strains in honor of the
day. In the forenoon Rev. Or. Talmage
delivered an eloquent sermon: “Easter in
Greenwood,” the text be.ng taken from
Genesis 23: 17, IS: “And the field of Hebron,
which was in Machpelah, which was before
Mamie, the field, and the cave which was
therein, and all the trees that were in the
field, that were in all the borders round
about, were made sure unto Abraham.”
Here is the first cemetery ever laid out.
Machpelah was its name. It was an arbo
rescent beauty, where the wound of death
was bandaged with foliage. Abraham, a
rich man, not being able to bribe the king
of terror, proposes here, as far as pos
sible, to cover up the ravages. He had no
doubt previously noticed this region, and
now that Sara! l ., his wife, had died—that
remarkable person wiio at ninety years of
age had born to her the son Isaac, and who
now. after she had reached 127 years, had
expired—Abraham is negotiating for a fami
ly plot for her last slumber. Ephron owned
this real estate, and after, in mock sympa
thy for Abraham, refusing to take anything
for it, now sticks on a big price—4oo shekels
of silver. The cemetery lot is paid for, and
the transfer made, in the presence of wit
nesses in a pubic- place, for there were no
deeds and no halls of record in those early
times. Then in a cavern of limestone rock
Abraham put Sarah, and a few years after,
liinis-If followed, and then Isaac and Re
bekah, and then Jacob and Leah. Em
bower I. picturesque and memorable Maeh
pelah! That “God’s acre” dedicated by
Abraham has been the mother of innumer
able mortuary observances. The necropolis

metropolis.

You find all the royal family of flowers
there, som that you supposed indigenous

the far south—the daisy and hyacinth,
crocus an-i anemone, tulip and water lily,
geraniums and ramunculus, mignonette and

and the bones, why not the entire body?
If man can do the phonograph God can do
-the resurrection.
Will it be the same body that in the
last day shall be reanimated? Yes, but
infinitely improved. Our bodies change
every seven years, and yet in one sense
it is the same body. On my wrist and
the second linger of my right hand there
is a scar. I made that at twelve years
of age, when disgusted at the presence of
two warts, 1 took a red hot iron and
burned them off and burned them out ;
Since then my body has changed at least
a half dozen times, but those scars prove
it is the same body. We never lose our
identity. If God can, and does sometimes
rebuild a man five, six. ten times in inis
world, is it mysterious that he can rebuild
him once more and that in the resurrection.
If he can do it ten times 1 think he can
do it eleven times. Then look at the seven
teen-year locusts. Eor seventeen years
gone, at the end of seventeen years they
reappear and by rubbing the hind leg
against the wing make that rattle at
which al! the husbandmen and the vine
dressers tremble as the insectal host
up the inaren of devastation. l ; ,n
every seventeen years, a wonderful tact.
Another consideration makes the■ 1> K*
of resurrection easier. God made Adam,
lie was not fashioned after

I Massillon, 0., March 22.—General Coxey’s
I order No. 1 was promulgated today. The
j first camp of the commonwealth will be
I struck Saturday, March 21th on the range

I ordered to report to Marshal Brown’s head

I such as "general,” “colonel,” etc.
I “This is a civic demonstration," the
order continues, "and we are all citizens,
anti the necessary authority should not
cause any of us to feel big over our titles.
We have sufficient food promised us, and
hunger is not to be feared as much as a
state militia regiment of bankers, clerks
and other scions of dudedom. '.’our daught

i Governor .McKinley on Hie Matter.
Columbus, 0., March 22.—Gov rn >r Mc-
Kinley gave out the following official state
-1 n.ent tonight of his attitude toward the
I Coxey army that is to March from Massti
i lon next Sunday:
| “1 cannot but believe that the stcri • '
] about the assembling of people at filasstl
' lon on Sunday have been gr -atly e:otgg«-i'-
uted. From all the information I have r- -
i i-eivtd. I la-lieve that there will not. any
such number of people assembled as ‘nas
been predicted by the promjter of the
movement or the press and no such num
ber as will menace the public and good
order of the communities through w ith it
I the assembly proposes to pass on its w iy
to Washington. With all the notoriety
that has i oi-n given the movement, noidt
ing alarming cnmes from Stark and Co
lumbiana counties, the counties of this
state through which the march will I
made, it may b ■ confid mtly relied uj >n
that the local authorities xvill be alert to
' their duty. It would be a matter of deep
I regret if tiny disturbance xvore to result .
to public order from this movement.
“1 can realize that, however peaceful I
' and lawful the purpose of the movement j
! may be. the fact that a large body of unor
ganized men assembled to make a long i
march on foot, relying upon support from •
! the country through which they travel, is ,
i well calculated to create alarm, yet 1 I
I cannot think that the movement Will as- |
sume anv dangerous or threatening pro
portions but if it does, the local authorities,
citv and county, in Ohio, will be quite
adequate to mu-et any emergency, and
thev will not permit the peace and good
order of the community to be broken, but |
will be prompt to punish any unlawful acts
i xvhich mav occur. Should atty emergency
l arise e’t l the local authorities be not able
’ to ’preserve the peace and observance ot :
I law. 'b<- state authorities, ttjion notice, will
1 be prompt to aid tile”'' xyithm the law
I and lh.‘ constitution. Ample authority is
' confined t<> local authorities ,10 preserve
! th“ peace and enforce the laxx. i
'riii "ovet'uor quotes cite provisions ol '
I 1-iw apr.lieal le to the ease and says if
l the local authorities are unable to preserve
I older th- entire power of ' b . p
I and military, will be called into use. He
I C< "T!i're i.'ol'hing for the governor to do
I until the emergency is presented and which
. he hopes may not occur, but if it does, he
i will be prompt to act.”

Canton, 0., March 25.— Coxey’s army of
i commonweal moved out <if Massillon toaay
I on'schedule time.
I There were perhaps seventy-five sting.-..! '-s
in line at tin- start, and twenty-five less
when <'union, eight miles away, was reach
! ed. Carl Brown; chit f marshal, who h i led
I the procession, was mounted on a
horse and was followed by hall a oozen
aides, all moutned on hot .-f-s b-Imtging to
Coxey. who tode in a carriage drawn by a
pair of t--prited steeds. The pi-ocession con
sisteil of Hie marshals, Coxey, Ins wife a.nd
sister, a bugler, four covered wagons eon
■ mining camping outfits, baled straw and
; .-ovcr.ii quarters of beet; a bra s band that
I played all kinds of music at once and the
I soldiers of the commonweal on foot.
Th.-v marched single file and two
I abreast, as pleased their fancy, and, with
I very few exceptions, were hard looking
citizens. Tit-..- they claimed, was not tln-n
fault, tint the fault ot our system ot gov
ernment. , ~ „
The weather was pleasant when tm f-. i t
was made, but the procession was soon
overtaken by a very severe snowstorm.
This had a depressing tendency, and a num
ber of desertions were reported before Ree
| duburn, the first stop, was reached. After
I a. brief stay at Heeduburn, the army re
i sumed its onward march, and reached Can-
I ton shortly after 4 o'clock, where Camp
| Lexington was pitched. Coxey is enthusi
; astic and claims that the movement this
far exceeds his most sanguine expecta
tions, but this is hardly in keeping with
I his former declarations.
Still Confident of n Illg Army.
With the ground covered to the depth ot
half an inch with snow, nothing to eat but
a short supply of bread and cheese and a
I little straw to sleep on, the Coxey recruits
‘ are in anything but a joyous mood tonight.
Murnjuring under the big circus tent, where
; the cotnmonweal army is quartered, is loud
I and general. Coxey’s soldiers declare that
things must improve at once or they will
i go back to begging. Coxey and his lieuten
: ants are still sanguine and are endeavoring
; to imbue their followers with confidence by
, making speeches which, however, don’t;
seem to have the desired effect.
CONGRESSMAN WILSON BETTER.
He Receives Callers and Clints with
Them.
| San Antonio, Tex., March 24. — Congress
! man W. L. Wilson is much improved to
l day. He sat up in bed a few hours and re-
• ceived two callers, both old friends. In
] response to a note from the correspondent
I regarding an interview, he sent back word
' that he begged to be excused from talking
• today. He will leave for the ranch of ex
. Congressman Ben Cable, cf Illinois, eight
I miles from the city, Monday and xvill re
main there a fexv days recuperating. Mr.
: Cable is now at the ranch and sent in the
: invitation this morning for Mr. Wilson to
. become his guest. .Mr. Wilson has no fever
j but his cough still hangs on. This, however,
causes no uneasiness to Dr. Underxvood, his
I medical attendant, who states that he xviil
soon have it under control. Congressman
John Tarsney did not leave today as ex
; periled. He will leave tomorrow for Fort
Worth and will go front there to Denver
on private business. The son of Congressman
Wil on will leave for Washington tomor
row.
