Tenable as the lnsectils host takes up th.
narch ot devastation. Resurrection ever;
seventeen years a wonderful fact 1
Another consideration makes the Idea of
resurrection easier. ' God mad Adam. II i
was not fashioned after any model. There
bad never been a human organism, and so
there was nothing to copy. At the first at
tempt God made a perfect man. He made
him ont 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
each one of us a perfect beinir in the resur
rection. Suroly the last undertaking would
oot be greater than the first. . 6ee.the gospel
a'ire! ra. Ordinary dust minus a model
equals a perfect man. Extraordinary dusf
and plus a model equals a resurrection body.
Mysteries about it? Oh, yes. That is out
reason why I believe it. It would not be
much of a God who could do thinrrs only a
far as I can understand. Mysteries? On.
yes. but no more about the resurrection ot
your body than about its present existence.
I will explain to youthe last mystery of the
resurrection and make it as plain to you as
that two and two make four if you will tell
me how your mind, which la entirely inde
pendent of your body, can act upon your
bo ly so that at your will your eyes open, or
your foot walks, or your hand is extended.
So I find nothing in the Bible statement con
cerning the lesurrection that staggers me
for a moment. All doubts clear from my
mind. I say that the cemeteries, however
beautiful now, will be more beautiful when
the bo lies of our loved ones coma up in the
mornlnir of the resurrection.
They wiil come in Improved condition.
They will come up rested. The most of
them lay down at the last very ttrel. How
often yoa have heard them say, 'I am so
tired!" The fact is. It is a tired world. If I
should go through this audience and po
round the world, I could not find a person in
my style of life ignorant of the sensation of
t itlue.
I do not believe there are fifty persons In
ibis audience who nre not tired. Your hea l
is tired, or your back is tired, or your foot is
tired, or your brain is tired, or your nerves
ire tired. Lon journeying or business ap
plication or bereavement or sickness has put
an you heavy weights. So the vast majority
Df those wuo weufout of this world went
sut fatltrued. About the poorest place to rest
In Is this world. Its atmosphere, its snr
roun lings and even its hilarities are exhaott
in";. So Gol stops our earthly life cni
mercifully closes the eyes, and;more espo
?lally gives quiescence to thelungand heart,
that have not had ten minutes' rest from the
first respiration and the first beat.
If a drummer boy were compelled in the
army to beat his drum for twenty-four hours
without stopping, his officer would be eourt
m irtialed for cruelty. If the druxmer boy
should be commanded to beat his drurn for a
week without ceasing, day and night, he
would die in attempting it. But under your
vestment is a poor heart that began its drum
tat for the march of life thirty or forty or
sixty or eighty years ago, and it has had no
lurlough by dny or night, and wlwfcher in
jonscious or comatose state It wnt right on,
for if it had stopjjed seven seconds your life
would have closed. And your heart will
keep.oing until some timo after your spirit
has tlown, for the auseultator says that alter
'lie last expiration of lung an 1 the last thro1)
3 pulse, and alter the spirit is released, the
aeart keeps ou beating tor a time. What a
rnerey, then, it is that the grave is the pia

Pernicious Literature Which Develops
JTothlnft- Bat Morbid Sentlmentallsnte
There Is a certain morbid senti
roent among women which is admired
and cultivated by many of us who are
otherwise sufficiently strong minded.
I mean a fondness for a peculiar type
of poetry and those terrible little
books which are sent by one's friends
the moment a bereavement 'or otbei
trouble occurs. I have known a cast
where seventeen of these little vol
umes were received by a mournei
within two weeks. The donors had
drawn heavy pencil marks around all
the most harrowing passages, so thai
by no chance could they be over
looke l, and over those books were
spent hours and hours of weeplnjr,
that certainly did not make the los
any easier to bear.
Nor are mourners the only womet
who indulge themselves in this way.
The very happiest of women will
treasure scrap3 of verses from the
newspapers descriptive of the most
heartrending sorrow, and make them
selves cry over them w.th real enjoy
ment. What I desire to emphasize is that
tvomcQ ao themselves a great deal of
harai by indulging this morbid senti
ment. It takes the place of wiser,
tuore healthful thoughts and condol
ence. It is exactly as pernicious as
is reading medical books, a study of
which will convince nervous persons
that they have every disease therein
described.
There Is more comfort in a verst
of Scripture, a warm hiiPel clasp, and
half an hour's hard work, than in a
shelf full of the morbid little vol
umes. As for the verses, instead of
reading and crying over them, men,
and women would better be laying in a
?ood stoi'k of happy, wholesome ideas
and thoughts to help them bear the
troubles when they actually do come.

A useful mac'iioe has been construct

which bears on its base an impression

any combination of figures shown out

tho recoil of the handle carries forward

possible to give a receipt without record
