DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON: Aromatics for Easter. “Bringing the species which they had pre- pared.” Luke 24:1. “The trumpet shall sound.” 1 Cor. 15:95. Enchanting work have I before me this Easter morning, for, imitating these women of the text, who brought aromatics to the mausoleum of Christ, I am going to unroll frankincense and balm and attar of roses and cardimon from the East Indies, and odors from Arabia, and, when we can inhale no more of the perfume, then we will take to sweet sounds and hear from the music that shall wake the dead. Hav- Ing on other Easters described the whole scene, I need only In four or five sentences say: Christ was lying flat on his back, lifeless, amidst sculptured rocks—rocks over him, rocks under him, and a door of roeks all bounded by the flowers and fountains of Joseph's country-seat, Then a bright immortal, having descended from heaven, quick and flashing as a falling meteor, picks up the door of rock and puts it aside as though it were a chair and sits on it. Then Christ unwraps Himself of his mortuary apparel, and takes the turban from His head and folds it up deliber- ately and lays it down in one place, and then puts the shroud in another place, and comes out and finds that the sol. diers who had been on guard are lying in a dead swoon. THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRISONER of the tomb is discharged, and five hundred people see Him at once. An especial congress of ecclesiasties called, pay a bribe to the resuscitated sol. diers to say that there was no resur- rection, and that while they were over- come of slumber the Cnristians had played resurrectionists and stolen the corpse. The Marys are at the tomb with aromatics, Why did not these women of the text bring thorns and nettles? for these would more thoroughly have expressed the plercing sorrows of themselves and their Lord. Why did they not bring some national ensign, such as that of the Roman eagle, typical of conquest? Ne, they bring aromatics, suggestive to me of the fact that THE GOSPEL IS TO SWEETEN and deodorize the world. The world has so much of putrefaction and malo- dor that Christ is going to roll over it waves of frankincense, and sprinkle it all over with sweet-smelling myrrh. Thousands of years before this Solomon had said that Christ was a lily, and Isaiah had declared that under the gos- pel the desert would bloom like a rose; but the world was slow to take the floral hint. And so now the women of the text bring hands full and arms full of redolence, and perhaps unwittingly confirm the lesson of deodorization. When Christ’s gospel has conquered the earth the last offence to the olfactories will have left the world; sweet, pure air will have blown through every home, and churches will be freed from the curse of ill ventilation, and the world will become two great gardens, the empurpled and emblazoned and smparadised hemispheres. Sin is a buz- zard, holiness 18 a dove. SIN IS NIGHTSHADE, holiness is a flower. If you are trying to reform the world, open the windows of that tenement house and pour through it a draught of God's pure atmosphere, and set a geranium or heliotrope on the windowsill; cleanse the air, and you will help cleanse the soul. How dare this world so often insult that feature of the human face which God has made the most promi- nent feature in human physiognomy? To prove how He Himself loves aro. matics, I bring the fact that there are willions of flowers on prairies and in mountain fastnesses the fragrance of which no human being ever breathes, and He must have grown them there for His own regalement. And for the | compliment the world pad Christ by giving Him a sepulchre in Joseph's garden, He will yet make the whole earth a garden. Yes, He expressed HIS DELIGHT WITH FRAGRANCE, in the first book of the Bible, when He said: “The Lord smelled a sweet savor;” and He filled the afr of the an- cient tabernacle and temple with sweet incense; and there are small bottles of perfume in heaven, described in Re. velation as golden vials full of odors. I preach an ambrosial gospel which will yet extirpate from the world all foulness and rancidity, and the last noisomeness and the last mephitic gas, Glad am 1 that, though the world had chiefly spikes for the Saviour’s feet and thorns for the Saviour’s brow, the Mag! put frankincense upon His cra- dle and the Marys brought frankin- cense for his grave, Notice, also, that Christ’s mauso- leum was opened by concussion. It was a great earthquake that put its twisted key into the involved and labyrinthine lock of that tomb, Concussion!. That is the power that opens all the tombs that are opened at all. Tomb of soul, and tomb of nations. Concussion be- tween England and the thirteen colo- nies, and forth comes free government jn America, Concussion between France and Germany, and forth comes republicanism for France, CONCUSSION AMONG THE ROCKS on Mount Sinai, and on two of them was left a perfect law for all ages. Concussion among the rocks around Calvary, and the Crucifixion was made the more overwhelming. Concussion between the United Statesand Mexico, and a vast area of country becomes ours. Concussion between England and France, and mest of this continent west of the M and iceberg, between bowlder and bowlder, and a thousand concussions put this world into shape for man’s residence. Con- cussion between David and his enemies, and out came the Psalms, which other- wise would Hover have been written, Lm —— — ence, best results, and most magnificent con - sequences. Hear the crash all round the Lord's sarcophagus, and see the glorious reanimation of its dead In. babitant, Concussion! If ever a gen- eral European war, which the world has been expecting for the last twenty years, should come, a eoncussion #0 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 thelr kings born to them, and they would after a while elect ther kings, and there would be an Italian republic, and a German republic, and a Russian republic, and an Australian republic, and out of the cracks and chasms of that concussion would come resurrec- tion for all Europe. Stagnation is dreadful; concussion is Messianic, Notice also WHAT THE ANGEL STONE after he had rolled it away from the mouth of the Saviour’s mausoleum. The Book says he rolled away the stone from the door, and sat upon it. All of us ministers have preached a 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. The angels are a fatigueless race, and that one could have shouldered every rock around that tomb, and carried it away, aod not been Dbesweated, He sat upon 1t, I 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, and reading while the mules of the tow- path ware resting, and of going hungry and patched and barefoot, and submit- ting to all kinds of privation to get scholastic advantages. But the day of graduation came, and they took the diplomas with a hand nervous from night study, and pale from lack of food, and put their academic degrees in the pocket of a threadbare coat. ‘Then starting for another career of hardship, they entered a profession or a business where they found PLENTY OF DISHEARTMENT and no help. Yet saying, “I will suc- ceed; God help me, for no one else will,’ they went on and up until the world was compelled to acknowledge and admire them. The fact was that the obstacle between their discourag- ing start and their complete success was a rock of fifty tons, but by resolu- tion, nerved and muscularized and reinforced by Almighty God, they threw thelr arms around the obstacle and with the strength of a supernat- ural wrestler DID WITH THE querors, they sat upon it. Men and women are good and great and useful just in proportion as they had to over- come obstacles, the fingers of your one hand all the great singers, great orators, great poets, great patriots, and great Curistians who never had a struggle. That angle that made a throne of the bowider at Christ’s tomb went back to heaven, and I warrant that, having been born in heaven and always had an easy time, be now speaks of that wrestle with the rock as the most interesting chapter in all his angelic lifetime, Oh men and wowen with obstacles in the way, I tell you that those, ONSTACLES ARE ONLY THRONES that you may after a while sit on. the obstacle in your way sickness?

He rolled back the stone and sat upon it, A POOR ORPHAN DOY, picking up ctups at Richmond, Va., accosted by a passing sea captain, and invited to come on board his vessel, 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 occasion and using sailors’ vernacular, as was usual with him, he says: *‘I put in, I up helm, unfurled sall, and made for the gallery, and scud under bare poles to the corner pew. Then I hove to and came to anchor. The old man, Dr. Griffin, was just naming his text.

All the obstacles of his life seemed gathered Into one great bowider, but Edward T. Taylor, the world-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 about 12 o'clock noon of RESURRECTION DAY you will see something worth seeing. The general impression 1s that the res- urrection will take place in the morn- ing. The ascent to the skies will hardly occur immediately. It will take some bours 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 it lay flat upon your grave or stood up in monument, will have to be jostled and shaken and rolled aside by the angel of Regurrec- tion, and while waiting for your kind- red to gather and the procession to form, your resurrection body may sit in holy triumph upon that chiseled stone which marked the place of your protracted slumber. On that day what a fragile thing will be Aberdeen granite and column of basalt, and the mortar which will rattle out of the wall of vaults, that bave been sealed a thousand years, and the Taj, built for & queen in India, a sepulchre two hundred and seventy-five feet high, and made of jasper and cornelan, and turquois and lapis-lazuli, and amethyst and onyx, and sapphire and diamond, and which shall that day rain into glit- tering dust on groves of banyan 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 cemeteries? No. Dynamite drilled under the foundations of cenotaph and abbey? No. It will be done by musle, Nothing but music, sweet but all-penetrating music. The trumpet shall sound! You say that is figurative, how do you know? But, whether literal or figurative, it means music anyhow. The trumpet, that stirring, incisive, mighty instru- ment, with a natural compass from about Sina when the law was given, blown around Jericho when the walls tumbled, blown when Gldeon discomfitted the Midianites, blown when the anclent Israelites were gathered for worship, to be blown for the rmsing of the dead in the last great Easter. The mother, who, when the child must be awakened, kisses its eyes awake, does well. But the trumpet, which when ear awake, does better. Be not prised if the dead are to be AWAKENED BY MUSIC. Why, that is the way now we raise the 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 sur- Under God what hosts have been by Ira D.

The world is a house of two rooms, a base. ment, and a room above-ground. The basement has two to one, three to one, four to one, more occupants than the superstructure. Sickness and war and death have been stacking thelr har. vests for near six thousand years.

You know that these cata- combs are fifty or sixty feet under- ground, and if one loses the guide or his torch is extinguished, he never finds the way out, Bo let us stay close together, and with our torches, as we wander along a small part of these nine hundred miles of underground passages, see the Inscriptions 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 handmald of God, who out of all ber riches now possesses but this one house, Thou wilt remain in eternal repose of happiness. A. D. 380.” On my side I read by the light of the torch: *‘Aurelia, our sweetest daughter; she lived fifteen years and four months. A, D. 825.” On your side you read: “Here hath been laid a sweet spirit, gulleless, wise, and beau. tiful. Buried in peace. A. D. 888." On my side I read, **Y ou well-deserving one, lie in peace. You will rise, A temporary rest is granted vou. Plau- cus, her husband, made this.” On your side you read: “Nicephorus, a sweet soul in the place of refreshment.”’ On my side I read: “In Christ, Alexander is not dead, but lives beyond the stars, and his dead body rests in this tomb,” On your side you read: **Here, happy. you find rest bowed down with years,” “Irene sleeps in God.” “Valeria sleeps in peace,” *‘Arethusa sleeps in God.”” **Navira in peace, a sweet soul who lived sixteen years, a soul sweet as honey; this epitaph was made by her parents.” But let us coms out from these cata- combs and extinguish our torches, for upon all these longings and expectations of all nations the morning of Resurrec- tion dawns.
