And he that was dead un and began to speak, and He deliv him to his mother." Luke vil., The text calls us to stand at the the city of Nain, The streets are n-rush with business and gayvety, and the ear is deafenad with the hammers of mechanism and the wheels of traffic, Work, with its arms and thousand ayes and thousand fills all the street, when suddenly the erowd arts, and a funeral Between heels of work and pleasures there comes a long procession of mourning people, fs it? A trifler says: ‘Oh, it's nothing but a funeral.

He would return now pome of the kindness he had received in the days of childhood and boyhood. Aye, he would with his strong hand uphold that form already enfeebled with age. Will he do 1? In one hour that promise of belp and companionship is gone, There is a world of anguish in that one short phrase, “The only son of his mother, and she a widow," Now, my friends, it was upon this scene that Christ broke, He came in without any introduction, He stopped the procession, He had only two utterances to make-the one to the mourniog mother, the other to the dead. He oried out to the mourning one, “Weep not,” and then, touching the bier on which the son lay, He eried out, “Young man, I say unto thee arise!” And he that was dead sat up. learn two or three things from this sub.

But I must also draw from this subject that He was a God. Suppose that a man should attempt to break up a funeral obhse- quy. He would be seized by the law, ho would be imprisoned, if he were not actually slain by the mob before the officers could secure him, If Christ had been a mere mor- tal, would He have a right to come In upon such a procession? Would Ho have sue- ceaded In His interruption? He was moro than a man, tor when He oried out, *'I say unto thee, arise I" he that was dead sat up, What excitement there must have been there about! The body had Iain prostrate, It had been mourned over with agonizing tears, and yet now it begins to move In the shroud and to be flushed with life, and at the coms mand of Christ he rises up and looks into the faces of the astonished spectators, ‘Oh, this was the work of a God hear it in His volee , I seo it His eyo; I behold it in the death's shackles ; the rising slun ory of sOHNO 1A 4 sold nog "Eee all those wi If, when I se mourning with the be on His s rs an w that I hear Him liverances, 1 look u r with Thomas, “My L you Hoe w le not think hand the fow And will 1 | ehild, Perl that 3 friend, piness, never!” % it may be a wnnot sy It It may t tro vour best nestie unhape susploion.

Now wo are sure of our resurrons tion. Oh, what a scons it was when that young man came back! The mother never expected to hear him speak again, She never thought that he would kiss her again, How the tears started and how her heart throbbed as she sald, "Oh, my son, my son, my son!” And that scene is going to be re- peated, It is going to be repeated 10,000 times, Thess broken family ciroles have got to together, Thess extinguished household Hghts have got to be rekindled, Theres will be a stir In the family lot in ths ecometery, and there will be a rush Into life at the command, “Young man, I say unto thee arise I" As the ohild shakes off the dust of tha tomb and coraes forth fresh 4 fair and beautiful, nnd you throw your arms “Ax com» ~ i delivered him to his mother,” Did you no- tion that passage in the text as I read it? “He delivered him to his mother,” Oh, yo troubled souls! Oh, vo who have lived to she avery prospect blasted, § od, sonttered, consumed, wait a little! The seedtime of toars will become the wheat harvest, Ina ¢lime cut of no wintry blast, under a sky palled by no hurtling tempest and amid ro- doomed ones that weep not, that part not, that die not, friend will come to friend, and kindred will join kindred, and the long pro- cession that marches the avenues of gold will lift up thelr palms as again and again it is announead that the same one who came to the relief of this woman of the text came to the rellef of many a maternal heart and re- veatod the wonders of resurrection and de- fvered him to his mother.” Oh, that will be the harvest of the world, That will be the coronation of princes, That will be the Sabbath of eternity, SABBATH SCHOOL.
