RESURRECTION' DAT
P-9V. T. DeWitt 'Talmagrs'ti
tldo Discourse.
Wliat Will the Day or Ksarreot ion
for the Cemeteries? The I.ist My
tery of the Ilesarrcction
Made Plain.
Easterthle was productive of the fol
lowing sermon by Rev. T. DeWitt Tal
xoage in the Urooklyn tabernacle. His
tmbje-ct was: "Easter in Greenwood,"
and the text:
Aud the field ot Epbron. which" was in Maeh
pehih, which was before Mature, the fi ;ld and
the cave which was therein, and all thi tree
thai were in the field, that wre in all t; e
lorders rou:idaiout. wcire made sure nnto Abra
ham. Genesis xxiil.. 17. 18.
Here is the first eemetory ever laid
out. Machpelah was its name. Itkvas
an arborescent beauty, where the
wound of death whs bandaged
with foliage. Abraham, 5 a rich
man, not bein able to bribe- the
kinjr of terrors, proposes here, as far
as possible, to cover up the ravages.
He. had no dovibt previouslj' noticed
this region, and now that Sarah, his
wife, had died that remarkable per
son, who, it ninety years of are, had
born to her the son Isaac, and who
now, after ghe had reached one hun
dred and twenty -seven years, had ex
pired Abraham is negotiating for a
family plot for her last sluipber. Eph
ron owned this real estate, and
after, in mock sympathy for Abraham,
refusing to take anything for it, now
sticks on a big price four hundred
sheckels of silver. The cemetery lot
is paid for, and the transfer made, in
the presence of witnesses in a public
place, for there were no deeds and no
halls of record in those early times.
Then in a cavern of limestone rock
Abraham put Sarah, and a few years
after himself followed, and then Isaac
and Rebekah, and then Jacob and
Leah. Embowered, picturesque and
memorable Machpelah! That "God's
acre" dedicated by Abraham has been
the mother of innumerable mortury
observances. The necropolis of every
civilized land has vied with its metrop
olis. The most beautiful hills of Europe
outside the great cities are covered
with obelisk, and funeral va.-.o, and
arched gateways, and columns, and
parterres in honor of the inhumated.
The Appiau Way of Rome was bor
dered by sepulchral commemorations.
For this purpose Pisa has its arcades of
marble sculptured into excellent bas
reliefs and the features of dear faces
that have vanished. Genoa has its
terraces cut into tombs, and Constan
tinople covers with cypress the silent
habitations, and Paris has its Pere la
Chaise, on whose heights vest Ralzac,
and David, and Marshal Xey, and Cu
vier, and La Place, and Moliere, and
a mighty group of warriors, and paint
ers, and musicians. ' In all foreign na
tions utmost genius on all sides is ex
pended in the work of interment,
mummification and incineration.
Oar own country consents to be sec
ond to none in respect to the lifeless
body. Ever3' city and town and neigh
borhood of any intelligence or virtue
has, not many miles away, its sacred
inclosure, where alTt-ction hs.s engaged
.sculptor's chisel and florist's spude and
artificer in metals. Our own city has
shown its religion as well as its art, in
the manner in which it holds the mem
ory of those who ha,ve passed forever
away, by its Cypress Hills, and its
Evergreens, and its Calvary, and Holy
Cross cemeteries. All the world knows
of our Greenwood, with now about
two hundred and seventy-five thousand
inhabitants sleeping among the hills
that overlook the sea, and by lakes,
embosomed in an Eden of flowers, our
American Westminster Abbey, an
Acropolis of mortuary architecture, a
Pantheon of mighty ones ascended,
elegies in stone, Iliads in marble,
whole generations in peace waiting for
other generations to join them. No
dnrmitorj or breathless sleepers in all
the world has so many .mighty dead.
Among the preachers of the Gospel,
Bcthune and Thomas DeWitt, and
liishop Janes and Tyng, and Abeel,
the missionarv, and IJeeeher mul llud-
diugton, and McClintock and Inskip,
and Hangs and Chapin. and Noah
.Schenck and Samuel Hudson Cox.
Among musicians, the renowned
Gottsehalk and the holy Hastings.
Among philanthropists, Peter Cooper
and Isaac T. Hopper, and Lncretia
Mott and Isabella Graham, and Henry
Bergh, the apostle of mercy to the
brute creation. Among the literati,
the Carys, Alice and Phoebe; James K.
Paulding and John G. Saxe. Among
journalists, Ilennett and Raymond and
Greeley. Among scientists, Ormsby
Mitchell, warrior as well as astrono
mer, and lovingly called by his sol
diers "Old tars." Prof. .Proctor and
the Drapers, splendid men, as I well
know, one of them my teacher, the
other my class-mate.
Among inventors, Elias Howe, who
through the sewing machine, did more
to alleviate the toils of womanhood
than any man that'ever lived, and Prof.
Merse, who gave us magnetic telegra
phy; the former doing his work with
the needle, the latter with the .thunder
bolt. Among physicians and surgeons
Joseph C. Hutchinson and Marion
Sims and Dr. Valentine Mott. with the
following epitaph which lie ordered
cut in honor of Christian religion: "My
implicit faith and hope is in a merciful
Redeemer, who is the resurrection and
the life. Amen and amen." This is
our American Machpelah, as sacred
to us as the Machpelah in Canaan, of
which Jacob uttered that pastoral
poem in one vers: "There they buried
Abraham and Sarah, his wife; there
they buried Isaae and Rebekah, his
wife, and there I buried Leah."
At this Easter service I ask and an
swer what may seem a novel question,
but it will be found, before I get
through, a practical aud useful and
tremendous question: What will res
urrection day do for the cemeteries?
First, I remark, it will be their super
nal Wautification. At certain seasons
it is cu .tomary in all land to strew'
riowors over the roo-.n Is of the de
parted. It may have been sug

gested by the fact that Christ's
tomb was in a garden. And when
I say garden I do not mean a gar
den of these latitudes. The late frosts
jx nnux ami nie eariy irosts ol au
tumn are so near each other that there
!
are only a few months of flowers in
tlie field. All the flowers we see to-day
had to be petted and coaxed and put
under shelter, or they would not have
bloomed at all. They are the children
of the conservatories. Hut at this sea
son and throup-h thr -r.j.-,t of the year
the Holy Laud i-; b;.ih with floral
opulence.
You find f t:.j ;.;.-t 1 family of flow
ers there, sc ih . t you supposed in
digenous to the i'ar noil'.!, arid others
indigenous to the far south the daisy
r.nd hyacinth, crocus and anemone,
tulip and water lily, geranium and
ranunculus, mignonettee and sweet
marjoram. In the college at IJeyrout
you may see Dr. Post's collection of I
about one thousand eight hundred i
kinds of Holy Land flowers; while
amoiig trees are the caks cf fi-ozcn
elunes, and the tamarisk of the tropics,
walnut and willow, ivy and haw
thorne, ash and elder, pine and syca
more. If such floral and botanical
beauties arc 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
spear, His last drop of blood had co
agulated. And then see how appro-,
priate that all our cemeteries should be
tloralized and tree shaded. In June
Greenwood is Brooklyn's garden.
...."Well, then," j-ou saj "how can you
make out that resurrection day 'will
beautify the cemeteries? Will it not
leave them a plowed up ground? Ou
that day there will be an earthquake,
and will riot this split the polished
Aberdeen granite, as well as the plain
slab that can afford but two words
Our Mary,' or 'Our Charley?'" Well,
I will tell 3rou how resurrection day
will beautify the cemeteries. It will
be by bringing up the faces that were,
to us once, and in our memories are to
us now, more beautiful than an3'
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 reappearance
of those from whom we have been
parted? I do not cr.re which way the
trea falls iu the blast of the judgment
hurricane, or if the plowshare that day
shall turn under the last rose leaf and
the last china aster, if out of the brokcu
sod shall come the bodies of our loved
ones not damaged, but irradiated.
The idea of the resurrection gets
easier to understand as I hear the pho
nograph unroll some voice that talked
iuto it a 3ear ago, just before our
friend's decease. You touch the lever,
and then come forth the very tones,
the very song of the person that
breathed into it once, but is now de
parted. If a man can do that, can not
Almighty Gocl, without half trying,
return the voice of your depart
ed? And if He can return the
voice, wli3' not the lips and the
tongue and the throat that fashioned
the voice? And if the lips and tongue
and the throat, wh3' not the brain that
suggested the words? And if tin
brain, why not the nerves, of which
the brain is the headquarters? And it
He can return tha nerves, why not the
muscles, which are less iugenious'.'
And if the muscles, WI13' not the
bones, that are less wonderful? And
if the voice and the brain and the
muscles and the bones, why not the
entire body? If man can do the phon
ograph. Go d can do the resurreetion.
Will it be the same body that in th
last day shall be reanimated? Yes, but
infinite improved. Our bodies change
every seven year, and yet, in one
sense it is the sa'c ' On my wrist
and the second f l ight hand
there is a sea . ' ; ..: i.". it at twelve
vears of ago. --. .-titusted at the
presence of t "-. is, I tot. It a red hot
iron and burred the in off and burned
them out. Since then my body has
changed at least a half dozen times, but
those scars prove it is the same body.
Vfe never lose our identity. If God can
and does sometimes rebuild a man five.
six. ten times, in this world, is it m3's-
tenous that He can rebuild him once
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-j-ear locusts. r6r
seventeen years gone, at the end of
seventeen years they appear, and by
rubbing the hind leg against the wing
make that rattle at which all the hus
bandmen and vine-dressers tremble as
the insecti e host takes up the march
of devastation. Resurrection every
seventeen 3-ears, a wonderful fact!
Another considera tion makes the idea
of resurrection easier. God made Adam.
He was not fashioned after any mod
el. There had never been a human
organism, and so there was nothing to
copy. At the first attempt God made
a perfect man. He made him out of
the dust of the earth. If out of or
dinary dust of the earth and without
1 1 1 1.1 . 1
a moaei uoa count iuuhc n perieci
man, surely out of the extraordinar3T
dust of mortal bod3 and with mil
lions of models, God can make each
one of us a perfect being in the resur
rection. Surely the last undertaking
would not be greater than the first.
See the gospel algebra; ordinary dust
minus a model equals a perfect man;
extraordinary dust and plus a model
equals a resurrection bod 3'. Mysteries
about it? Oh, yes; that is one reason
why I believe it. It would not be
much of a God who could do things
only as far as I can understand. Mys
teries? Oh, yes; but no more about
the resurection of you body than about
its present existence.
I will explain to 3'ou the last mys-'
ter3 of the resurrection, and make it
as plain to you as that two and two
make four if 3ou will tell me how your
mind, which is entirely independent of
your body, can act upon your body, so
that at your will your e3'es open, or
your foot walks, or your hand is ex
tended. So I find nothing in the Bible
statement concerning the resurrection
that staggers me for a moment. All
doubts clear from m3' mind. I say that j
the cemeteries, however beautiful now, 1
will be more beautiful when the bodies j
of our loved ones come up in the moru-
ing of the resurrection. 1

"Some one should suggest to him to
overlook the personal part of Col. Lo

joined. The face of everyone in the little
knot suddenly darkened. .
The stately Col. Le Bey rose, and
asked the privilege of the floor for a
few minutes to make a personal state

"Does the gentleman yield?" in
quired the chairman, of the young man
who was thus interrupted. '
"I do," answered the gentleman ad
dressed, in a quiet, courteous tone. 4
"Now, once for all, I wbsh it to be

resolution which takes our state out of

Col. Le Bey spoke earnestly and his
words sank deep in the minds of hi3
listeners, but they received scarcely a
munnur of applause.
Now the former speaker resumed,

eyes swept the crowded galleries. "We
are not worthy of our mothers if we
hesitate at this Rubicon," he exclaimed,
and the ladies broke into almost hys
terical applause.
Once, this young man eloquent was
on the verge of replying with biting
sarcasm to his elderly opponent. But,
again, the speaker's, glance turned to
the galleries. He rr.w a f-lfght; fair

F.s if before an expected blow. The
next, that form recovered and ho felt
a look of defiance shot back at him.
No one elso in that assembly saw this
tableau, though every eye was follow
ing the orator.
He paused for just a second, perhaps,
and then there was a deep sigh of re
lief as the phrase which was leaping
from his lips turned into a tribute of
respect and esteem for "the distin
guished gentleman" who opposed the
resolution.
"A.nother Patrick nenry." some one
shouted as he sat down. The applause
was wild. The waving kerchiefs in
the galleries gavo that part of the
chamber the appearance of a cloud of
snow.
Delegates crowded about thp youth
ful looking speaker and nearly crushed
him with demonstrations.
"Berrien! Berrien! Berrien!" cried
the assembly. The tall young man,
with face aglow and eyes sparkling,
rose and bowed modestly in acknowl
edgment of the ovation.
In a little time the roll call wa-3 com
pleted and another state had with-
draru from tho federation of sovereign
strtcs .
Berrien made his way slowly toward
the lobby. He saw the spectators de
serting the seats above. He hoped to
intercept one of those who had been
looking on. His movement" was the
signal for a rush from the gaUeries.
'The hundreds who had just been cheer
ing him wished to grap him by the
hand. On emerging from, the chamber
he found himself surrounded by a
larger throng than before. It was im
possible for several minutes for him. to
mako his w?y toward tlie marble
stairway which was his immediate ob
jective point, lie got one glimpse of
the face which answered his look
when he had paused in hi3 speech.
But he could not read the expression.
He saw emotion, but ho could not say
what it was. A surging mass of peo
ple, few 01 wiiom no knew, intervened.
While he stood there, his progress
blocked, Col. Le Bey passed around the
crowd, took his daughter by tho arm,
and, accompanied by the other ladies
of her part-, pasted on toward the
street.
Col. Le Bey left tho city nest day,
taking his daughter with him. He
deeply regretted the action of his
state, but no one suggested that he con
templated forsaking it at this juncture.
He would kaep his word and follow his
state to which he declared his alle
giance. It was rumored that he had
gone away to place his daughter in the
hands of relatives who, later, would
tee that she reached Europe, where she
had becu educated, and where she had
many friends more, indeed, than in
her native land. She had never known
a mother, hers having died when she
was an infant, and f-.he had spent near

for conducting a great part of the war
