HEY. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN DAY SERMON Subject: “Th© Overthrow of the Monster.” Tax* : “Re trill swallow up death in vio tory." —lsaiah xxv., 8. About eighteen hundred and flfty-thre* Eaater mornings have wakened the earth. In France for three centuries the almanan made the year begin at Easter, until Charles IX. made the year begin at January Ist. Ir the Tower of liondon there is a royal pay roll of Edward 1., on which there is an entry of eighteen pen** for font hundred colored and pictured Easter eggs, with which the people sported. In Russia, slaves were f*d and alms were dis tributed on Easter. Ecclesiastical council* met atPontus, at Gaul, at Rome, at Achaia to decide the particular day, and after a con troversy, more animated than gracious, de cided it, and now through all Christendom, in some way the first Sunday after the full moon which happ?ns upon or next, after March 21, is filled with Easter rejoicing. The Royal Court, of the Sabbaths is made up of fifty-two. Fifty-one are princes in the royal household, but Easter is queen. She wears richer diadem, and sways a more jeweled sceptre, and in her smile nations are Irradiated. Unusually welcome this year be cause of the harsh winter and the late spring, she 6eems to step out of the snow-bank rather than the conservatory, come out of the North instead of the South, out of the Arctic rather than the tropics, dismounting from the icy equinox; but welcome this queenly day, holding high up in her right hand the wrenched-off bolt of Christ's sepulchre, and holding high up in her left hand the key to all the cemeteries in Christendom. It is an exciting thing to see an army routed and flying. They run each other down. They scatter everything valuable in the track. Unwheeled artillery. Hoof of horse on breast of wounded and dying man. You have read of the French falling back from Sedan, or Napoleon’s track of 90,000 corpses in the snow-banks of Russia, or of the retreat of our own armies from Manassas, or of the five kings tumbling over the rocks of Be tboran with their armies, while the hail itorms of heaven and the swords of Joshua's oost struck them with their fury. In my text is a worse discomfiture. It seems that a black giant proposed to conquer the earth. He gathered for his host all the aches and pains •nd malarias and cancers and distempers ind epidemics of the ages. Ho march© i them down, drilling them in the north east wind and amid the slush of tempests. He threw up barricades of grave mound. He pitched tent of charnel house. Borne of the troops marched with slow tread commanded by consumptions, some in double quick, commanded by pneumonias. Borne he took by long besiegement of evil habit, and tome by one 6troke of the battle axe of cas ualty. With bony hands he pounded at the door of hospitals and sick rooms, and won all the victories in all the great battlefields of all the five continents. Forward march, the conqueror of conquerors, and all the Generals and Commanders-in-Chief, and all Presidents and Kings and Bultans and Czars drop under the feet of his war-charger. But one Christmas night his antagonist was born. As most of the plagues and si»-k --nessw and despotisms come out of the East, it was appropriate that the new conqueror should come out of the same quarter. Power is given Him to awaken all the fallen of all the centuries and of all lands, and marshal them against the black giant. Fields have already h**n won, but the last day of the world’s exist ence will see the decisive battle. When Christ shall lead forth His two brigades, th© brigade of the risen dead and the brigade of the celestial host., the black giant will fall back, and the brigade from the riven sepulchres will take Him from beneath and the brigade of descending immortals willtuk* Him from above, and death shall be swal lowed up in victory. The old braggart, that threatened the con quest and demolition of the planet has lost his throne, has lost his sceptre, has lost his palace, has lost his prestige, and the one word written over all the gates of mausoleum and ratoeomb and necropolis, on cenotaph and sarcophagus, on the lonely khan of the Arc tic explorer, and on the catafalque ot great, cathedral, written in capitals of nzalea and calls lily, written in musical cadence, written in doxoloey of great assemblages, written on the sculptured door of the family vault, is “victory.’- Coronal word, emhan nered word, apocalyptic word, chief word of the triumphal arch under which conquerors return. Victory 1 Word shouted at Culloden and Balaklava and Blenheim, at Megiddo and Sol ferino, at Marathon, where the Athenians drove back the Medes,at Poictiers, where Charles Martel broke the ranks of the Sara cens; at Balamis, where Tbemistocles in the great sea - fight, confounded the Persians, and at the door of the Eastern cavern of chiseled rock, where Christ came out through a recess and throttled the King of Terrors and put him back in the niche from which the celestial Conqueror had just emerged. Aha! t when the jaws of the Eastern mausoleum took down the black giant “death was swallowed op in victory.” I proclaim the abolition of death. The old antagonist is driven hack into mv tbology with all the lore about Stvgian f*rrr and Charon with oar and boat. Abbey and Kenilworth Castle are no more in ruins than is the sepulchre: We shall have no more to do with death than we have with the cloak-room at a Governor’s or rreeident’B levee. We stop at 6uch cloak r oom and leave in charge of a servant our overcoat, our overshoes, our outward ap parel, that we may not be impeded in the brilliant round of the drawing-room. Well, my friends, when we go out of this world we are going to a king's banquet, and to a r*c©p tion of monorohs. and at the door of the tomb we leave the cloak of flesh and the wrappings with which we meet the storms of this world. At the close of an earthly reception, under the brush and broom of th* porter the coat or bat may he handed to us better than when we resigned it, and the cloak of human itj will finally be returned to us improved and brightened and purified and glorified. You and I do not want our hocues returned as they are now. We want to get rid of all their weakenesece and all their susceptibilities to fatigue and all their slowness of locomotion Tliey will be put through a chemistry ®f soil and neat and cold and chang ing seasons out of which God will reconstruct them as much better than they are now as the body of the rosiest ana healthiest child that pounds over the lawn at Proepeck Park is better than the sickest patient in Bellevue Hospital. But as to our soul, we will cross right over, not waiting for obsequies, independent of obituary, into a state in every way better, with wider room and velocities beyond computation; the dullest of us into companionship with the v*ry best spirits in their very best mood, in the very parlor of the universe, the four walls burnished and paneled and pictured and glodifled with all the splendors that the infinite God in all th# ages has been able to invent. Victory! This view of course makes it of but little j Importance whether we are cremated ot ! sepultured. If the latter is dust to dust, the former is ashes to ashes. If any prefer incut j ©ration let them have it without caricature. The world may become so crowded that cremation may he universally adopted lftw as well as by genera) con sent. Many of the mightiest and best spirits have gone through this process. Thousands and tens of thousands of God's children have been cremated—P. P. Bliss and wife, the evangelistic singers, cremated by accident at Ashtabula Bridge; John Rotlg**rs, i cremated by persecution; 1 atimer and cremated Oxford; Pothinus, and Blandida, a slave, and Alexan der, a physician, and their comrades cremated at the order of Marcus Aurelius—at least a hundred thousand of Christ's disciples cremated—and there can he no doubt about the resurrection of their bodiet If the world lasts as much longer ss it has already boas built, there perhaps may be no room for the large acreage set apart for the resting-places, but that time has not come. Plenty cf room yet, and the race need not pass that bridg* of fire until it comes to it. The most of us prefer the old way. But whether out of natural disintegration or cremation wo shall get that luminous, buoyant, gladsome, trans cendent. magnificent, inexplicable stmetur* called the resurrection body, you will hav# it, I will have it. I say to youto-dav, as Pan' said to Agrippa: “Why should it be thought s fhing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?'* Th* far-up cloud, higher than the hawk flies, higher than the ragl# flies, what is it mode of i Drops ot water iron the Hudson, other drops from the East River, other drops from a stagnant pool out on New ark flats—up yonder there, embodied in a cloud, and the sun kindles it. If God can make such a lustrous cloud out of water drops, many of them soiled and impure and fetched from miles away, can He not transport the frag ments of a human body from the earth and out of them build a radiant body? Cannot God, who owns all the material out of which bones and muscle and flesh are made, set them up again if they have fallen? If a manufacturer of telescopes drop a telescop# on the floor and it breaks, can he not mend it again so you can see through it? And if God drops uie human eye into the dust, the eye which he originally fashioned, can He not restore it? Aye, li the manufacturer of the telescope by a change of the glass and a change of focus can make a better glass than that which was originally constructed, and actually improve it, do you not think the fashioner of tin human eve may improve its sight and multiply the natural eye by the thousandfold additional forces cf the resurrection eye? “Why should it be thought with you an in credible thing that God should raise th# deadf Things all around us suggest it. Out of what grew all these flowers? Out of th# mould and the earth. Resurrected: Resur rected! The radiant butterfly, when did it come from? The 'loathsomt caterpillar. That albatross, that smite* the tempest with its wing, where did it come from? A senseless shell. Near Bergerac, France, in a Celtic tomb under a block were found flower seed that had been buried two thousand years. Th# explorer took the flower seed and planted it, and it came up: it bloomed in bluebell and heliotrope. Two thousand years ago buried, yet resurrected. A traveler says he found in i mummy-pit. in Eg vyt garden peas that had been buried there three thousand years ago; He brought them out and on the 4th of June, 1844, he planted them **nd in thirty days they sprang up. Buried three thousand years, yet resurrected. “Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead f* Where did all this silk come from—the silk that adorns your persons and vour homes? In the hollow of a staff a Greek missionary brought from China to Europe the progeni tors of those worms that now supply the silk market of many nations. The pageantry of bannered host and the luxurious articles of commercial emporium blazing out from the silk worms. And who shall bo surprised if out of this insignificant earthly body, this insignificant earthly life, om bodies unfold into something worthy of the corning eternities. Put silver into diluted nitre and it dissolves. Is the silver gone for ever? No. Put in some pieces of copper and the silver reappears. If one force dissolves another force organizes. “Why should it be thought a thing incredi ble with you that God shouid raise the dead?” The insects flew and th* worms crawled last autumn feebler and feebler, and then stopped. They have taken no food, they want none. They lay dormant and insensible, but soon the south wind will blow th* resurrection trumpet, and the air and the earth will be full of them. Do you not think that God can do as much for our bodies as He does for the wasps and the spiders and the f-nails? This morning at 4:30 o'clock there was a resurrection. Out of the night, the day. In a few* weeks there will be a resurrection in all our gardens. Why not some day a resurrec tion amid all the graves? Ever and anon there are instances of men and women entranced. A trance is death followed by resurrection after a few days’ total suspension of mental power and voluntary action. Rev. William Tennent, a great, evangelist of the last gen eration, of whom Dr. Archibald Alexander, a man far from being sentimental, wrote in most, eulogistic terms-Rev. William Ten nent seemed to die. His spirit departed. People came in day after day and said: “He is dead, he is dead.” Rut thesoul that fled returned, and William Tennent lived to write nut the experiences of what he had seen while his soul was gone. It may l*» fonnd some time that what is called suspended ani mation or comatose state is brief death, giving the soul an excursion into the next world from which it comes back, a furlough of a few hours granted from the conflict of life to which it must, return. Do not- this waking up of men from trance, and thiswak ing up of insects from winter hfelessness. and this waking up of grains buried three thon sand years ago, make it easier for you to believe that, your body and mine after the vacation of the grave shall rouse and rally, though there be three thousand years between our last breath and the sounding of tb« archangelic reveille 1 Physiologists tell us that while the most of our bodies are built with such wonderful economy that we can spare nothing, and the loss of a finger is a hindennent. and the injury of a toe-joinfc makes us lam°, still that we have two or three use less physical anparati, and no anatomist or physiologist has never been able to tell what they are for. They are no doubt the foundation of the resurrection body, worth nothing to us in this state, to be indispensa bly valuable in the next state. The .Jewish rabbins had only a hint of this sug feetion when they said that in the uman frame there was a small bone which was to be the basis of the resurrection body. Perhaps that may have been a de lusion. But this thing is certain, the Christian scientists of our day have found out that there are two or three superfluities of body that are something gloriously sugges tive of another state. I called at my friend's house one summer day. I found tne yard all piled up with the rubbish of carpenter and mason's work. The door was off. The plumbers had tom up the floor. The roof was being lifted in cupola. All the pictures were gone, and the paper-hangers were doing their work. All the modern improvements were being introduced into that dwelling. There was not a room in the house fit to live in at that time, although a month before when I visited that house everything was so beautiful I could not have suggested an improvement. My friend had gone with his family to the Holy Land, expecting to asm* back at tho end of six months, when the building was to be done. And oh, what was his joy when at the end of six months, he returned and the old house was enlarged and improved and glorified! That is your body. It looks well now all the rooms filled with health, and we could hardlv make a suggestion. But after awhile your soiil will go to the Holy J.and, and while you are gone the old house of your tabernacle will be entirely reconstructed from <-ellar to attic, and every nerve, muscle and bone and tissue and artery must be hauled over, ami the old structure will be burnished and adorned and raised and cupolaed and enlarged, and all the improvements of heaven introduced and vou will move into it on resurrection day. “Eor we know that if our earthly hoiw* of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in tho heavens.” They are very fond,of each other. Did your body ever have pain and your soul not pitv it? or your oody have a joy and your soul not re-echo it ? or, changing the ques tion, Aid your soul ever hare any trouble and your body not sympathise with it, growing wan and weak under the depressing influence? Or did your ever have a gladness but your body celebrated it with kindled eye and cheek and elastic step? Surely God never intended two such good friends to be very long separated. And bo when the world's last Easter rooming shall come the soul will descend, crying: “Where is my body?” and the body will ascend, saying: “Where is my soul?” and the Lord of the r«a -urrectioß will bring them tog« ther.and it will bea perfect soul in a perfect body, introduced I by a perfect Christ Into a perfect heaven. ' ictoryl Do you wonder tint to-day we swathe this house with garlands? Do you wonder we celebrate it with the most consecrated voice of song that we can invite, and with doxologies that beat these arches with the billow* of sound as the pea smites th* basalt at Giant's Causeway! Only the had disapprove of the resurrection. A cruel heathen warrior heard Mr. Moffat, the missionary, preach about the resurrection, and he said to the missionary: “Will my father rise in the last day?” “Yes,” said the missionary. “Will all the dead in battle rise r said the cruel riiieftain.» “Yes,” said the missionary “Then," said the war rior, “let m* hear no more about, the resurrection dav. There can be no resurrec tion, there shall h* no resurrection. I have slain thousands in hattle. Will they riser Ab. there .will he more to rise on that day than those want to see whose crimes have never been repented of. But for all others who allowed Christ to he their pardon and their life and their resurrection it will be a day of victory. The thunder* of the last day will be the salvo that greets you into harbor. The light ning* will be only the torches of triumphal procession marching down to escort you home. The burning worlds flashing through immensity will be the rockets celebrat ing your coronation on thrones where you will reign forever and forever and forever. W nere is death ? What have we to do with death ? As your reunited body and soul swing off from this planet on that last day you will see deep gashes all up and down the hills, deep gashes all through the valley*, and they will be the emptied graves, they will be the abandoned sepulchres, with rough ground tossed on either side of them, and slabs will lie uneven on the rent hillocks, and there will be fallen monuments and cenotaphs, and then for the first time you will appreciate the full exhilaration of the text: “Me will swallow up death in victory.” “Hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to Thee by both be given: Thee we greet thriumphant now, Hail the resurrection Thou:” General Lee’s Demijohn. A short time after the battle of Fred ericksburg the soldiers observed a ser vant carrying a big demijohn into Gen eral Lee's tent. Visions of toddy flittec before the eyes of the General's staff. At twelve o'clock General Lee walked ou! and with a twinkle in his eyes remarked “Perhaps you gentlemen would like i glass of something?" The verdict was unanimous. Everything was arranged the gentlemen drew near; the cork wai drawn and the steward poured out—but termilk.—Atlanta Constitution. Almost a Hint. Esmeralda Longcoffin's parent says to young Mr. Staylate— *T may be an old man. and an ugly old man. but if you don’t go home I'll show you that I still possess the fire of youth, for I'll fire a youth out of this house, and you will be the youth.” Young Staylate—“Mr. Longcoffin, is this a hint for me to go?”— Siftings.
