REV. DR. TALMAGE, THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN- DAY SERMON. Subject: “Easter in Greenwood.” TEXT: ‘‘And the field of Hebron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mame, the Sield, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round abowl, were made sure unio Abraham.” Genesis xxiii, 17, 18, Here is the first cemetery ever laid out, Machpelah was its name. rescent beauty, where the wound of death was bandaged with folinge. Abraham, a rich man, not being able to bribe the king of terrors, proposes here, as far ns possible, to cover up the ravages. He had no doubt previously noticed this region, and now that Sarah, bis wife, had died—that remarkable person who, at ninety years of age, had born had reached 127 years, had ham is negotiating for a fam last slumber, Ephron owned this real estate, and after, in miock sympathy for Abraham, refusing to take anything for it, now sticks on a big rice—400 shekeis of silver. The cemetery expired-—-Abra- ily plot for her presence of witnesses in a public place, for there were no deeds and no halls of record in those eariy times. Then in a cavern of limestone rock Abraham put Sarab, few years after himself followed, and then Isaac and Rebekah, and then Jacob and Leah. Embowered, picturesque and mem- orable Machpelah! That “God's acre” dedi- eatod by Abraham has been the mother innumerable mortuary observa 4 necropolis of every civilized land has with its metropolis, The most beautiful hills of Europe outside the great cities are covered with obelisk and funeral vase and arched gateways and col- umns and parterres in ho inhum- ated.

Our bodies change every seven Fours, and yet in one sense it is the same ody, On my wrist and the second finger of my right hand there is a scar, I made that at twelve years of age, when, disgusted at the presence of two warts, I took a redhot fron and burned them off and burned them out. Since then my body has changed at | least a half dozen times, but those soars | prove it Is the same body, i We never lose our identity. If God ean | and does sometimes rebuild a man five, six, ! ten times in this world, is it mysterious that { Ho ean rebulld him ones more and that in { the resurrection? If He can do it ten times, I think He can do it eleven times, Then | look at the seventeen year locusts, For seventeen years gone, at the end of seventeen years they appear, and by rubbing the hind log against the wing make that rattle at i which all the husbandmen and vine dressers tramble as the insectile host takes up the march of devastation, Resurrection every seventeen years —a wonderful fact! Another consideration makes the {dea of resurrection easier. God made Adam. He | was not fashioned after any model, There | had never bean & human organism, and so there was nothing to copy. At the first at- tempt God made a perfect man, He made | him owt of the dust of the earth, If out of | ordinary dust of the earth and without a model God could make a perfect man, surely out of the extraordinary dust of mortal body and with millions of models God ean make esch one of us a perfect being in the resur- | rection. Surely the last undertaking would | pot be greater than the first, Bee the gospel | algebra, Ordinary dust minus a model equals a perfect man, Extraordinary dust | and plus a model equals a resurrection body. | Mysteries about it?

But on the day of which I speak the resurrected shall make the place of their feet glorfous. From under the shadow of the church where they slumbered nmong nettles and muliein stalks and this. | tins and sinbs nglant, they shall arise with a | glory that shall flush the windows of the! village church, and by the bell tower that usad to call them to worship, and above the ful generations ascended, What triumphal procession never did for a street, what an oratorio never did for an academy, what an orator never did for a brilliant auditory, what obelisk never did for a king, resurrection morn will do for all the cemeteries, § This Easter tells us that in Christ's resur- rection our resurrection, if we are His, and the resurrection of all the plous dead, is as- sured, for He wag “the first fruits of them that slept.”” Renan says He did not rise, but 580 witnesses, sixty of them Christ's enemies, say He did rise, tor they saw Him after He had, If He did not rise, how did sixty armed soldiers let Him get away? Burely sixty liv. ing soldiers ought to be able to keep one dead man. Blessed be God! He did get away. After His resurrection Mary Magdalene saw Him. Cleopassaw Him. Ten disciples in an upper room at Jerusalem saw Him, On a mountain the eleven saw Him, Five hun- dred at once saw Him. Professor Ernest Ree nan, who did not sea Him, will excuse us for taking the testimony of the 580 who did see Him, Yes, yes, Ho got away. And that makes me sure that our departed loved ones ourselves shall get away. Freed eclod He is not going to leave us and ours in the lurch, There will be no doorknob on the inside of our family sepulcher, for we cannot come out ot ourselves, but there is a doorknob on the opening, will say: ‘‘Good morning! You haveslept long enough ! Arise! Arise!" And then what flutter of wings, and what flash. log of rekindled eyes, and what gladsome rushing across the family lot, with cries of : “Father, is that you?" “Mother, is that you?" “My darling, is that you?’ “How you all have changed! The cough gone, the ‘ome, let us astend together! The older ones first, the younger ones next! Quick, sow, get into line! The skyward procession has already started !

First, I remark, it will their supernal beautification. At certain seasons it is cus. tomary in all lands 10 strew flowers over the mounds of the departed. It may have been suggested by the fact that Christ's tomb was in a garden, And when I say garden I do not mean a garden of these latitudes. The late frosts of spring and the sariy frosts of autumn are so usar each other that there are only a few months of flowers inthe fleld. All the flowers we see 10-day had to be petted and eoaxed and put under shelter, or they would net have bloomed at all. They are the children of the conservatories. Bat at this season and through the most of the year the Holy Land is all ablush with floral opulence, You find all the royal family of flowers there, some that you suppose indigenous to the far north and others indigenous to the far south—-the daisy and hyacinth, crocus and anemone, tulip and water lily, geranium and ranunculus, mignonette and sweet mar- oram. Inthe college at Beirut you may see r. Post's collection of about 1800 kinds of Holy Land flowers, while among trees are the oaks of frozen climes, and the tamarisk of the tropics, walnut and willow, ivy and hawthorn, ash and elder, pine and sycamore, If such floral and botanieal beauties are the wild growths of the field, think of what a garden must be in Palestine! And in such a garden Jesus Christ slept after, on the soldier's 8 . His last drop of blood had econgulated, And then ses Low appropriate that all our cemeteries should be fHoralized and tree shaded. In June Greenwood is Brooklyn's garden. “Well, then,” you say, "how can you make out that the resurrection day will beautify the cemeteries Will it not leave them a plowed up ground? On that day there will be an earthquake, and will not this split the polished Aberdeen granite as well as the plain slab that can afford but two words—‘Oar Mary’ or ‘Oar Charley? ’ Well, IT will tell Jou how resurrection day will beautify all the cemeteries. It will be up the faces that were to us by bringi once, and our memories Are to us now, more beautiful than any calla lily, and the forms that are to us more graceful than any willow by the waters, Can you think of anything more beautiful than the 1eappear. anes of those from whom we have been sd? 1 do not care which way the tree in the blast of the judgment hurricane, or if the plowshare that day shall turn under the lust rose leaf and the last china aster, if out of the broken sod shall come the on of our loved ones not damaged, but irra diated, The idan of the resurrection gets easier to understand as I hear the phonograph usroll some voice that talked into it a year ago, just before our friend's decease.

And your heart will keep going until some time after your spirit has flown, {for the auscultator says that after the Iast expirntion of lung and the last throb of pulse, and after the spirit is released, the heart Keeps on beating tora time, What a mercy, then, it is that the grave is the piace where that wondrous machinery of ventricle and artery ean halt!

His de- meanor towards doctors with whom he happens to be unacquainted makes him greatly feared by them, and some eight vears ago a kind of public agita- tion was got up in opposition to him in which many hundreds of doctors took part. Resolutions were passed and addresses were presented, and eahoes of the gathering storm made themselves heard in the press. These manifestations of feeling were speedily repressed in a way characteristic of Russia. The then General-Governor of Moscow, Prince Dolgorukoff, sent for the editor of the medical journal in which the addresses were printed speech word more about Zakharin he would have to leave Moscow in twenty-four hours’ time.

The giant fungus that is found growing from the sides of trees is gathered and allowed to dry and then the yellowish growth that covers it is scraped away. This leaves the face of the fungus cov- ered with an ivorylike substance that cuts cleanly under a graver, A design is sketched on this face of the fungus and cut through it. The deeper the cutting is made the darker the color of the heart exposed, and this variation in tone lends the artist the degree of light and shade essential to make a picture, The results gained in this class of art work remind one of the first cut. tings in the process of cameo making. After the picture is finished the fun- gus is mounted in silver or plush and the effect is beautiful. Portraiture seems to be the most popular subject for this sort of work. .
