Our own country consents to Ihj second to none iu resect to the lifeless liody. Every city and town and neighborhood of any in-tz-Jligence or vlrtuo has, not many miles away, its sacred luclosure, whore ulTectiou bos engaged sculptor's chisel and llorkt's ipado and artificer iu metals. Our own city bas shown Its religion, as well as its art, In the manner in which it holds the memory of those who huvo ruvuod forever away, by its Cypress Hills and its Evergreens nnd its Cal vary and Holy Cross unci Friends' cemeteries. All tho world knows of our Oreenwood, with now about two hundred nud fifty thousand inhabitants sleeping among hills that over look the sen, nud by lakes emliosomod iu uu Eden of flowers, our Amorlcau West minster Abliey, an Acropolis of mortuary nrchitecture, n Pantheon of mighty ones us cendod, elegies In stone, Iliads iu mnrblo, whole generations in peace waiting for other generations to join them.

This is our American Machpelah, as sacred to us us the Miichelah iu Canaan, of which Jacob uttered that jiastoral poem in one verso: "There they buried Abraham, nnd Saruh his wife; there they buried Isaac, and llebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah." A NOVEL QUESTION. At this Easter service I ask uud answer what may seem n novel question, but it w ill be found, U-foro I get through, u practical mid useful and tremendous question: What will rcMiricctiou day do for the cemeteries? First, I remark, it will bo their suK-mal heautilicatiou. At certain seasons it is cus toinury iu all lands to strew llowers over tho mounds of the departed. It may liavu U-en suggested by tho fact that Christ's tomb was inn garden. Ami when I say garden, I do uot menu a garden of these latitudes The Into frosts of spring and the early frosts of autumn are so near to each other that there mo only a few months of lloweis in the Ik-Id. All the llowers we see toduv liad to U jietUsl mid coaxed mid put under shelter, or they would uot have bloomed at all. They urethe childieuof the conservatories Hut lit this season, nud through the most of the year, the Holy Land is all nbliisli with Moral opulence. You find nil tho royal family of llowers there, some that you bUpHscd Indigenous to the fur nut Mi, aud others indigenous to tho far kouth the daisy uud hyacinth, crocus mid anemone, tulip and water lily, geranium uud ranunculus, mignonette, nnd sweet marjoram. Ill the college nt Ik-yrout you may see Dr. Post's collection of alsMit eighteen hundred Ui, a of Holy Land llowers; while among trto are the oak of frowi climes, nnd tho tumarlk u f the tiopics, walnut nnd will-. .

Will It lw tho same body that iu tho last day shall bo reiiul mutcdl Yes, but infinitely Improved. Our lioilles change every seven years, nud yet, iu one sense, it is the samu liody. On my wi ist mid the second finger of my right baud there is u scar. I made that at 1- years of nge, when, disgusted at the presence of two warts, I took a red hot Iron nud burned them olT uud burned them out, Since then my body has changed at least ii half dozen times, but those scars prove it is the same body. And w e never lose our identity. If God can nnd does sometimes rebuild u man Ave, six, ten times, in this world, is it mysterious that he can rebuild him once more, uud thnt in the rcsuricctionl If ho can do It ten times, I thlnl. he can do It eleven times. Then look nt the seventeen year locusts. For seventeen years gone, nt the end of seventeen years they upH-ar, and by rubbing tho hind leg against the wing make that rattle nt which all the husbandmen nud vinedressers tremble ns tho iiihisMilu host tnkes up tho march of devnstntion.

Thero had never lieen n human organism, and so there was nothing to copy. At the llrst at tempt God made a perfect man. Ho made him out of the dust of the earth. If out of ordinary dust of tlio earth uud without a model Uod could m-iV.0 a jierfeet man, surely out of the oxtraoidlnary dust of the mortal body, and with millions of models, find can make each one of us a -rfecl being in tho resurrection. Surely the last undertaking would not be greater than the llrst. See the gosjiel algebra, ordinary dust minus a model equals a H-rfect man, extraordinary dust and plus a model equals n resurrection liody. Mysteries nUnit it 1 Oh,e; that Is ono rea son why I lielieve it. It would not be much of u ( jod w ho could do things only as far us I can imdersand. Mjsteiies Oh, jes, but no more about the resurrection of your body than alioilt its present existence. I will explain to you the lust mjstery of the icsiincctiim, and make it as plain to oii ns thut two nud two make foiu.if sou will tell me how Nourmiud, which is entirely in dependent of your body, can net umiii jour body so that at jour will jour eyi-s oj-n, or jour foot walks, or jour hand Isoxtendod, So I find nothing iu the Ilible statement con cerning the resuriectioii Mint staggers mo for a moment. All doubts clear from my mind. I say that the cemeteries, however beautiful now, will Is- more beautiful when the bodies of our lo ed ones come up. THK IlKST OK THE C1HAVK. They will come lu improved condition. They will come up rested. The most of them lay down at the last very tired. How often you have hem d them say, "I am so tiredl" The fact is, it is a tired world If I should go through this audience, and go round the world, I could not II ml a M-rsou iu any style of life ignorant of the sensation of fatigue. I do uot lielieve there lire llfty -rsous in this audience who are not tired Your head is tiled, or j-our back is tired, or jour foot is Musi, or j'our brain is tired, or jour nerves are tired. Ixing journeying, or business nj pllcntiou, or liereiivement, or sickness have put on j-ou heavy weights. So the vast ma jority of those who went out of this world went out fatigued. About the poorest pluco to rest in is this world. Its atmosphere, its surroundings, and even its hilarities are ex hausting So God stoM our earthly life, and mercifully closes tho oj'os, and quiets tho feet, aud folds tho hands, aud more especially gles quiescence to the lung ami heart, that have not had ten minutes' rest from tho llrst rwplratlon nnd the llrst lient.

It was a shamo that In that placo ungrate ful generations planted no trees, mid twisted no garlands, nud sculptured no marble for their Christian ancestry; but on the dny of which I sH-nk tho resurrected shall mako the place of their feet glorious. From under tho shadow of the church, where they slumls-red among nettles and mullein stalks and thistles nud slabs aslant, they shall rise with a glory that shall Hash the windows of the village church, and by the boll tower that used to call them to worship, uud nlxivo the old spire 1m--sido which their prayers formerly ascended. Whnt triumphal procession never did for a street, what an orntorio never did for nn academy, whnt nu orator never did for a brilliant auditory, what obelhl: never did for a king, resurrection morn will do for nil tho cemeteries. UK IB IllHE.N INDEED. This EnsU-r tells us that In Christ's resur rection our resurrection, If wc nro his, nnd the resurrection of nil the pious dead, is tin stirod, for he was "tho first fruits of them thut slept." Itcnnii suys ho did uot rise, but five hundred nud eightj witnesses, sixty of them Christ's enemies, saj ho did rim, for they saw him uf U-r he had risen. If ho did uot rise, how did sixty tinned soldiers let him get nwuj 1 Surely sixty living soldiers ought to bo able to keep ono dead maul Hlcssoil Ihj God! Ho did get away. After his resurrec tion Marj' Magdalene saw him. Cleopas saw him. Ten disciples in an upM-r room at Jeru salem saw him. On a mountain tho cloven ha iv him. Five hundred at unco saw him. Professor Ernest Kenan, who did uot see him, will excuse us for taking the testimony of tho live hundred uud eighty who did see him Yes, jes, ho got away. And that makes mo sure that our dcparti-d loved ones and we ourselves shall get unity. Frisil himself from the shackles of clod, he is not going to leave us an I ours lu the lurch. There w ill lie no door knob on the inside of our family sepulcher, for wo cannot conm out, of ourselves; but there is a door knob on the outside, and that Jesus shall lay hold of, ami, opening, will say: "Good morning!
