„f Christ and His religion that
bri htons everything it touches,
brightens our life, brightens our
character brightens society, brightens the
church brightens everything. You who go
with gloomv countenance, preten Img you
,rc better than I am, because of your lugub
riousness, jou cannot cheat mo. You old
hypocrite, I know you. Pretty case you are
for a man who professes to be more than
conqueror. It is not religion that makes you
gloomy, it is the lack of it. There is just as
much religion in a wedding as in a burial,just
as much religion in a smile as in a tear.
Thoe gloomy Christians we sometimes see
are the people to whom 1 like to lend money,
(or 1 never s?e them again! The women
came to the Savior’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
morn. The two angels robed in white took
hold of the stone at the Savior’s tomb, and
they hurled it with su< h force down the hill
that it crushed in the door of the world’s
sepulchre, anti the stark and the dead must
come forth.
I care not how labyrinthine the mauso
leum or how costly the sarcophagus, or how
ever beautifully parterred the family
grounds, wo want them all broken up by the
Lord of the Resurrection. They- must come
out. Fathers and mothers, they must come
out: husbands an 1 wives, they must come
out; brother and sister, they must come
out : cur darling children,they must come out.
The eyes that we close with such trembling
fingers must open again in the radiance ot
that morn. The arms we folded in dust
must join ours in an embrace of reunion.
The voice that was hushed in our dwelling
must he returned. Oh, how long some of you
seem to be w aiting—waiting for the resur
rection—waiting. And for these broken
hearts to-day I make a soft, cool bandage out
of Easter flowers.
Six years ago, the night before Easter, I
received an Easter < ard on which there was
a representation of that exqusite 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.
My friends, this morning I find in the risen
Christ a prophecy of our own resurrection,
my text setting forth the idea that as Christ
has risen so His people will rise. He the first
sheaf of the resurrection harvest; He “the
first fruits of them that slept.” Before I
jet through this morning, 1 will walk
through all the cemeteries of the
dead, through all the country
graveyards where your loved ones are buried,
and 1 will pluck off these flowers, and I will
■lmp a sweet promise of the Gospel —a rose of
hope, a l;ly of joy on every tomb—the child's
tomb, the husband's tomb, the wife's tomb,
the father's grave, the mother’s grave: and
while we celebrate the resurrection of Christ
we will at the same time celebrate the resur
rection of all the good. “Christ, the first
fruti of them that slept.”
"If I should come to you tins morning and
ask you for the names of the great conquerors
of the world, you would say Alexander,
Casar, Philip, >apoleon I. Ah. my friends,
you have forgotten to mention the name of
a greater conqueror than all these—a cruel,
a ghastly conqueror. He rode on a black
hone a less Waterloo and Atlanta and
Chalons, the bloody hoofs crushing the
hearts of nations. It is the conqueror
Heath. He carries a black flag and ho takes
no prisoners. He digs a trench across
the hetnis; heres and fills it with th
canatsesof nations. Fifty times would the
world have been depopulated had not God
kept making new generations. Fifty times the
world Would have swung lifeless through the
ait—ao man . n the mounta n. no man on th •
aea. nn abandoned shir, plowing through ini
mensity.
Again and again has be don- this work
with all generations. He is a monarch as
well as a conqueror: his palace a sepulchre:
tus fountains the tailing tears of a world.
Blessed be God, in the light of this Easter
morning. 1 see the prophecy that his sceptre
snail be broken and his palace shall be de
uionsße I. The hour is coming when all who
are in their grayes shall come forth. Christ
™»'ii, We shall rise. Jesus, the first fruits of

You have n< t'ced, 1 suppose, in reading
the story of the resurrection that ulmod every
account of the Bible gives tha idea tha tin
vharacterisli • of that day wiil l»e a great
sound. Ido me know that it wll be very
louu, but 1 know it will be very penetrating.
In the mau-oleum where silence lias reigned
a thousand years that voice must penetrate.
In the coral cave of the deep that voice must
penetrat*. Millions of spirits will come
through the gates of eternity and they will
cone to the earth, and they will* cry:
“Give us back our bodies: we gave the n
to you in corruption, surrender them now
in incorrupt!ou.’ Hundredsof spirits hover
ing about t ie crags of Gettysburg, for there
the bo lies are buried. A hundred thousand
spirits coming to Greenwo xl, for there the
bodies are buried, waiting for the reunion of
body and soul.
Ail along the sea route from New’ York to
Liverpool, at every few’ miles where a
steamer went dowu, departed spirits coming
back, hovering over the wave. There is whera
the City of Bost m perished. Found at last.
There is where the President perisl.e 1.
Sb amer found at last. There is w here the
Central America went down. Sj irits hover
ing, hundreds of spirits hovering.waiting for
the reunion of body and soul. Out on the
prairie a spirit alights. There is where a
traveler died in the snow. Crash goes West
minster Abbey, and the poets an 1 orators
come rortn. vvonaeriui miugnag or gooa
and bad. Wilberforce the goo I, Queen Eliza
beth the bud. Crash go the pyramids of
Egypt, and the monarchs come forth.
Wno can sketch the scene? I suppo-e that
one moment before that general rising there
will be a universal silence.save a> you hear the
grinding of the wheel, or the clatter of the
hoofs of a profession passing into the ceme
tery. Silence iu all the caves of the eirth,
Bileuce on the side of the mountain, silence
down in the valleys aud far out into the
sea. Silence! But in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, as the archangel's
trumpet comes pealing, rolling, crashing
across the mountain and sea, the
earth will give one terrific shudder and the
graves of the dead will heave like the waves
of the sea. and Ostend and Sebastopol and
('halons will stalk forth in the lurid air, and
the drowned will come up and wring out
their wot locks above the billow: and all
the ’and and all the sea become one moving
mass of life—all faces, all ages, all con litions
gazing in one direction and upon one throne,
the throne of resurrection. “All who are in
their graves shall come forth ”
“But, ’ you say, “if this doctrine of the
resurrection is true as prefigured by this
Fa-it.-r morning. Chri-t. ‘the first fruits of
them that slept? Christ rising, a promise and
a prophecy of the rising of His people, cau
you tell us something about the resurrected
ixxlyf’ I can There are mysteries about
that, but I shall tell you three or four things
in regard to the resurrected body that are
beyond guessing aud beyond mistake.
In the first place, I remark in regard to
your resurrected body; it will be a glorious
body. The body we have now is a mere
skeleton of what it would have been if siu
had not marred aud defaced it. Take the
most exquisite statue that was ever made by
an artist, and chip it here and there with a
chisel, and batter and bruise it here and there
and then stand it out in the storms of a han
dle 1 years and the beauty would be gone.
Well, the human l>ody has been chipped and
batterc 1 and bruised and damaged w ith the
storms of a thousand years—the physit al de
fects of other generations coming down from
generation to generation, we inheriting the
infelicities of past generations: but in the
morning of the resurrection the body will be
adorned and beautified, according to the
original model. And there is no such differ
ence between a gymnast and an emaciated
wretch in a lazaretto, as there will be a dif
ference between our bodies as they are now
and our resurrected forms.
There you will see the perfect eye after the
waters of death have washed out the stains
of b ars and study. There you will see the
jierfect hand after the knots of toil have been
untied from the knuckles. There you will
see the form erect and elastic after the bur
dens have gone off the shoulder—the very life
of God in the body.
In this world the most impressive thing,
the most expressive thing, is the human face;
but that face is veiled with the griefs of a
thousand years; but in the resurrection morn
that veil will be taken away from the face,
and the noonday sun is dull and dim and
stupid compared with the outflaming glories
of the countenances of the saved. When those
faces of the righteous, those resurrected faces
turn toward the gate, or look up toward the
throne, it will be like the dawning of a new
morning on the bosom of everlasting day!
O glorious resurrected body!
| But I remark also in regard to that body
which you are to get in the resurrection, it
w’ill lie an immortal bo<iy. These bodies are
wasting away. Somebody has said a< soon
as we begin to live w r e begin to die. Unless
we keep putting the fuel into the furnace the
fire dies out. The blood-vessels are ca
nals taking the breadstuff's to all parts of the
system. We must be reconstructed hour by
hour, day by day. Sickness and death are
all the time trying to get their pry under
the tenement to push us off the embank
ment of the grave: but, blessed be Gol, in
the resurrection we will get a holy
immortal. No malaria in the air. no
cough, no neuralgic twinge,* no rheu
matic pang, no fluttering of the heart,
no shortness of breath, no ambulan ?e, no dis
| pensary, no hospital, no invalid’s chair, no
' spectacles tj improve the dim vision; but
health, immortal health. O ye who have
aches and pains indescribable this morning!
, Oye who are never well! O ye who are
lacerated w ith physical distresses! let me tdl
you of the resurrect*? I body, free from all
disease. Immortal! Immortal!
! Igo farther, and say in regard to that
l>ody which you are to get in the resurrec
tion, it will be a powerful body. We walk
now* eight or ten miles aud we are fatigue 1:
we lift a few hundred pounds and we are
exhausted; unarmed, we me it a wild beast
and we must run or fly or climb or d >dge,
we are incompe.eat to meet it; we
, toil eight or t n hours vigorously and then
i we are weary: but in the resurrection we
are to have a body that never gets tired. Is
it not a glorious thought?
Plenty of occupation in heaven. I suppose
Broadway, New York, in th ? busiest season
of the y< ar at noonday, is not so busy as heav
en is aft the time. Grand proje *ts of mer *y
for other worlds. Victories to be celebrated.
The downfall of despotisms on earth to be an
nounced. Great songs to be learne 1 and sung.
Great expeditions on whi .h God shall send
forth His children. Plenty to do, but no
fatigue. If you are seaUsd under th ? trees of
life it will not be ti rest, but to talk o /or
with some old comrade of old times the battles
where you fought shoulder to shoulder.
Jacob arid the augel wrestled together. Ja ob
was not thrown because the angel favored
him. But once get your resurrected body
and the angel could not wrestle you down.
It is impossible to wrestle down the giants of
God on high. Strong, supple, unexhausted,
mighty, immortal. Oh, is it not a glorious
thousrnt- 3
Sometime; in this world we feel w’e should
like to have su<-h aboiy M that. Th»-i <• Is so
much w’ork to lx? done for Christ, there are so
i many tears to be w’iixjd away, there are so
many burdens to lift, there is so mm h to be
achieved for Christ, we sometimes wish that
from the first of January to the last o' De
* cember we could toil on without stopping to
sleep, or to take any recreation, or to rest, or
even to take f<x_>d—’that we could toil right on
without .stopping a moment in our work <»f
commending Christ and heaven to all the
. j eople. But we all get tired.
It is a characteristic of th<* human body in
I this (ondition. We must get tired. Is it not
a gl rious thought that after a w hile in the
1 hervi e of Go 1 we are going U) have a b'xly
. that will never get weary f () glorious re ur
rection day! Gladly will I fling aside this
]»oor l.crly of sin and fling it into the tomb, if
at thy bidding 1 shall have a body that never
wearies. That was a splendid resurrection
: hymn that was sung at my father’s bur.al:
••«o Jesus -lept, God s dying son
Passed through the grave aud blessed the i
l>ed. I
Best here, blest saint, till from His throne
Tne morning breaks to pierc ' the shade.”
Oh, blessed resurrection! Sneak out,sweet
flowers, beajitiful flowers. While you tell of
a risen Christ tell of the righteous who shall
rise. May God fill yon this morning with
anticipation!

his hold in the rigging and wosdashed dow n. [
’Die l ather supj osed he had gone hopelessly
under the wave. The next day the father j
was brought ashore from the rigging in an

he came to consciousness and saw’ lying I eside
him on the same l>ed, his boy. (), my friends, j
what a glorious thing it w ill be to wake up

yard, coming uirin the same morning lightr- j
the father and son alive forever, all the loved ‘
ones alive forever, nevermore to weep,never- i
more to part, nevermore to die.
May the God of Peace that brought again
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great
shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of
the everlasting covenant make you perfect
in every go<xl work, to do His w ill; and let
this brilliant scene of the morning transport
our thoughts to the grander assemblage be

Mr. Powderly’s Liqnor Views.
Grand Master Workman T. F. Pow
uerly in a recent address made to the
general convention of Knights of Labor
said:
‘‘The temperance question is an im- i
portant one, and I sometimes think it is
the main issue The large number of
applications during the past year to
grant dispensations to allow the initia j
tion of rumsellers was alarming. I have j
persistently refused them, and will en
join my successor, if he values the future
success of the order, to shut the doors 1
with triple bars against the admission of
the liquor dealer. His path and that of
the honest, ,' idustrious workman
lie in opposite directions. The
runisellcr who seeks almission
into a labor society does so with the ob- ;
ject that he may entice its members into [
his saloon after the meetings close. No
question of interest to labor has ever been
satisfactorily setllcd over a bar in a rum
hole. No labor society over admitted a
rumseller that did not die a drunkard’s
death. No workman ever drank a glass
of rum who did not rob his family of the
price of it, and in so doing commit a dou
ble crime, murder and theft. lie murders
the intellect with which the Maker hath
endowi d him. He steals from his family
the means of subsistence he has canned
for them. Turn to the annalsof every dead
labor society, and you will see whole
pages blurred and destroyed by the ac
cursed footprints of rum. Scan the rec
ords of a meeting at which a disturbance
took place, and you will hear echoing
through the hall the maudlin, fiendish
grunt of the drunken brute who disturbed
the harmony of the meeting.
“In the whole English language I can
find no word that strikes more terror to
my soul than the one word, 'Rum.' It
WaS’born in hell ere the fiat of ‘no re
demption'’ had gone forth? Its life on
earth has been one of ruin to the hopes
of youth and the peace of old age. It ;
has robbed childhood of its delights. It '
has stolen the laugh from the lips of !
innocence, the bloom from the cheeks of
manhood. It lias touched the heart of old
age like the tip of a poisoned arrow. Its ,
sound, as it gurgles from the neck of a
bott'e, echoes through many a desolate
household as tho hissing of a thousand
serpents. You may deem me too radical
on this point. Yet I never interfere with !
therightsof aman todrink if he so eleets.
I hold I have a right to and do shun rum
as I would an enraged tig r, neither
meddling with it nor allowing it to
meddle with me. So long as it keeps
its distance I am content to leave it
alone, but the moment it attempts to in
terfere witli my rights by coming into
the Knights of Labor, then my soul rises
in arms against it, and I can find no
words too bitter, no denunciation too
scathing, to hurl against it.

The Japanese House.
The first sight, of 11 Japiinrse house is j
disappointing; it is unsubstantial in np
•ptuirimee, and there is a meagerness oi
color. Being unpainted, it. suggests pov
and this absence of paint, with tin
gray and often rain-stained color of the
boards, leads one to compare it with sim
ilar unpainted buildings at home and
these are usually barns and sheds in the
country, and the houses of the poorer
people in the city. With one’s eye ac
customed to the bright contrasts of
American houses, ’with their white, or
light, painted surfaces; rectangular win
dows, black from the shadows within,
with glints of light reflected from the
glass; front door with its pretentious
steps and portico: warm red chimney sur
mounting all, and a general trimness of
appearance outside, which is by no means
always correlated with like conditions
within— one is too apt at the outset to
form a low estimate, of a Japanese house.
An American finds it difficult indeed to
consider such a structure as a dwelling,
when so many features arc absent that go
to make up a dwelling at home no doors
or windows such as lie had been familial
with; no attic or cellar; no chimneys and
■within no fireplace, and of course n< cus
tomary mantel; no permanently inclosed
rooms; and, as for furniture, no beds or
tables, chairs or similar articles—at least,
so it appears at first sight. •
One of the chief points of difference in
a Japanese house, as compared w ith ours,
lies in the treatment of partitions and
outside walls. In our houses these arc
solid and permanent, and, when the
frame is built, the partitions form part of
the framework. In the Japanese house,
I on the contrary, there are two or more
sides that have no |>emianent walls.
Within, also, there are but few partitions
which have similar stability; in their
stead are slight sliding-screens, which
1 run in appropriate grooves in the floor
and overhead. These grooves mark the
■ limit of each room. The s< mens may be
opened by sliding them back, or they
may be entirely removed, thus throwing
a number of rooms into one great apart
ment. In the same way the whole side
of a house may be flung open to sunlight
and air. For communication between
the rooms, therefore, swinging-doors are
not necessary. As a substitute for win
dows, the outside screens, or are
covered with white paper, allowing the
light to be diffused through the house.

To Keep Boots Pliable.
A mixture of mutton tallow and wood
rbmk oil is excellent for keeping boots
pliable and excluding water. If the
boots have become thoroughly water
soakisl fill them overnight with dry oats,
which will absorb much of the moisture
from the inside and at the same time
swell so as to keep the boot in shape and
prevent it shrinking.
