“ —— REY. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN DAY SERMON, Suliject: “Come, See the Place Where | the Lord Lay Text: “Come see the ] lay.” — Matthew xxviii, 6 Visiting any great city, we are not satis fied until we have also looked st its come tery. We examine all the styles of cono taph, mausoleum, sarcophagus, oript and sculpture. Here lies buried a statesmnan, yonder an orator, here a poet, out there an inventor, in some other piace a great phi- Janthropist. Bot with how much greater interest and with more depth of emotion we look upon our family plot in the cemetery In the one case it is a matter of public in terest, in the other it is a matter of private and heartfelt affection. But around the grave at which we halt this morning there are gathered all kinds of stupendous ine terest, At this sepulcher, I have to tell you ~in this sepulcher there was buried a king, a conqueror, an emancipator, a friend, a brother, a Christ. Monarch of the universe, but bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh, and sorrow of our sorrow, and heart of our heart. *‘Come, seo the place where the Lord lay.” It has for surroundings the manor in the suburbs of Jerusalem, a manor owned by a wealthy gentleman by the name of Joseph, He was one of the court of seventy who had condemped Corist, but I think he had voted in the negative, or, being a timid man, had been absent at the time of the casting of the vote. He had laid out the parterre at great expense, It was a bot climate, and I suppose ing 3 rippled over the rock into a fishpool, and yonder the vines and the flowers clam. bered over the wall, and all around these were the beauties of Kiosk and arboriculture After the fatigues of the Js lam wurt room, how refreshing to cor out in these suburbs botanical ! 1 ws k a little further subterranean recess lown th marble stairs and # to a portico over doorway-—an arc J flowers chislad by Igo into the p there are r rox mougn tu rooms sculptu wer he © | he sought this as | What a beautifu the resurrection! fark well the is to be ¢ Ages 11a Mahal Ta it Chr body mus ravens, as bod hindrance, LO leum, begs for the body rist, and he takes an ’ poor mutilated frame from and shrouds it and perfumes it I think embalmment was « in olden tis body med) i skill the ribs where the Then the operat incision, and ti he would be dead body woul Oe and wine of \ Napoleor nothing compared st been murdered, and Hi the with and effective wat Lu TOAry es, unless there be prompt Ogs and the was cust ruciiiag owner of them ye blood lust, and mittad When 10% they wished to embalm a dead the pri wit run § Man Ee Then the with sail or nit paim tree, stairs and int weight and § pieasant rest men oon against the recess that sa the id steal surrection, the disciples w % Christ and play re the seal of the of that seal like the v the Upited States G iritish Governmen severe penalties A regiment of soldier wn the tower o Antonio is detailed to guard that mausoleum At the door « » a fight took place which decided the quest for all graveyards and cerueteries Nwor | Hghtning against sword of steel Angel God against the military The body i rypt move in ts shroud o ne linen wn apon th partic he body put un La Sanbedrim, the vio vation of the sl of wearnment or of the always followad with aor ation # ’ : if that § begins to and slides through HEway., nes having left His nes forth in as | take it, from mistook Him for LV AID FOV ve .

Hosanna! O) weep no move. your comforts slain The Lord is risen: He lives again While standing around the place where the Lord lay | am impressed with the fact that mortuary honors cannot atone wrongs to the living. If they could have afforded Christ such a costly sepulcher they could have afforded Him a decent earthly residance to the dead Christ when they might have they had put half the expense of that mausoleum in the making of Christ's life on earth comfortable the story would not have been #0 sad. He wanted broad: they ave Hin a stone, Christ, like every other wnefactor of the world, was better appre ciated after He was dead Standing in this piace wheres the Lor! lay I am impressed with the fact that floral and sculptural ornsmentation are appropriate for the places of the dead.

That went for orape which ought to have gone for bread, A man of stall means can hardly afford to die in one of our great cities! Funeral pageantry Is not necessary. No one was ever more lovingly and tenderly put into the grave than Christ, but there were only four in the procession, Again, standing in this place where the Lord lay, I am impressed with the fact that you cannot keep the dead down. The seal of the Banhedrim, a regiment of soldiers from the tower or Antonio to stand guard, floor of rock, roof of rock, wall of rock, niche of rock cannot keep Christ in the erypt. Come out and come up He must Came out and came up He did, FPrefigura. tion, The first fraits of them that sleep, Just as certain as you and I go down into the grave, just so certaln wa will come up again, Though you pile up on the top of us nll the bowlders of the mountains you cannot keep us down, Though we be buried under the coral of tho deepest cavern of the At. | execution . lantic Ocean we will rise to the surface, Various scriptural accounts say that the work of grave breaking will begin with the blast of trumpets and shoutings: whenoe | take it that the first intimation of the day will be a sound from heaven such as has never before been heard, It may not be 0 very loud, but it will be penetrating. There are mausoleams so deep that undisturbed silence has slept there ever since the day when the sleeners were loft in them Che great no shall strike through them. Among theo of the sea, miles deep, where the shipwreck rest, the sound will strike, No take It for thunder or the biast of minstrelsy There will be heard the v the uncounted millions of the dead, wi rushing out of the gates of eternity, flying toward the tomb erying: ‘Make way! © grave, givesus back our body!
