"8UREL.Y THE BITTERNESS OF DEATH IS PAST," CRIED AQAO. Dr. TKlmngn Hays thn Only Ohjrrtlon to This Text I That a Had Man Uttered 11 Neverllmlen. It Carries a Useful I.m.Dii. DltooKLVN, April 17.-Delng Foster morning, the Brooklyn Tabernacle congre gation had Is-cn Invited to bring flowers the night before, nnd a bank of them wan on thu front of tho pulpit and wreaths of them over the pulpit. The word "Itestir rectlon" wnn spelled out In letters of whitu lilies. Kspcclal mtislo wan added to thu groat cougrcgntlonnl hinging, Text, I Samuel xv, .', "Surely tho bitterness of death Is past." So cried Agag, nnd tho only objection I hnvo to HiIh text is that a bad limn uttered It. Nevertheless it In true, and in it higher nnd better sense than that In which It was originally uttered. Yearn ago a legend something like this was told mo: In n hut lived n very poor woman by tlio nnmt) of Misery. In front of her dxr was a pear tree, which was her only resource- for 11 liv ing. Christ, tho Lord, in poor garb was walking through tho earth and no 0110 would entertain him. In vain he knocked at tho door of palaces and of humble dwel lings. Cold nnd hungry and lusuftlcleutly clad, as ho was, none received him. Hut coining 0110 ilny to tho hut of this woman, whoso name was Misery, she received him, and offered him a few crusts and asked him to warm himself at tho handful of coals, and she snt up all night Hint tho wayfarer might have a pillow to rest on. in thu morning this divine being asked her an ho departed what she would hnxe him do in the way of reward, and told her that he owned the universe and would give her what sho asked. All she 1wk1.fl was that her pear tree might bo protected, and that the Imjjs who stole her fruit, once climbing the tree, might not be able to get down without her consent. So it was granted, and all who climbed tho tree were compelled to stay there. After awhile Death came along nnd told the poor womnn sho must go with him. Hut she did not wnnt to go, for, however poor one's 101 is, no one wants to go with Death. Then sho said to Death, "I will go with you if you will first climb up Into my pear tree nnd bring mo down a few penrs before I start." This he consented to do, but having climbed into the tree ho could not again come down. Then the troubles of tho world began, for Death did not come. Tho physicians had no patients, tho undertakers no busi ness, lawyers no wills to make, tho people who waited for Inheritances could not got them, tho old men staid In all tho profes slons and occupations so that there v n" no room for tho young who weru coming on nnd the earth got overcrowded, and fiom all the earth tho cry went up: "Oh, for Dent hi Where is Death" Then the peo ple camo to the poor woman and begged her to let Death descend from tho tree, hi sympathy for the world, she consented 10 let Uenth come down on one condition, nnd that was that ho should never molest in take hcruway, and on that condition Death was allowed to como down, and ho kept his wonl nnd never removed her, nnd for that reason we nlwnys have Misery with us. TIIK IIKSUItllKCTION. In that allegory some one has set forth tho truth that I mean to present on this Easter mornliig, which celebrates tho res urrection of Christ and our coming resur rectionthat, one of thu grandest and mightiest mercies of tho earth Is our divine permission to quit it. Sixty-four persons every miniitu step off this planet. Thirty million people every year board this planet. As a steamer must unload lieforo It takes another cargo, nnd ns tho passengers of a rail train must leave It In order to have an other company of passengers enter It. so with this world. What would happen loan ocean steam er If a man, taking a stateroom, should stay In it forever? What would happen to n rail train If one who purchases a ticket should always occupy tho beat assigned him Anil what would happen to this world If all who came into it never depart ed from It? The grave is ns much a bene diction as tho cradle. What sunk that ship In the Hlack sea a few days ago? Too many passengers. What was the matter with that steamer on the Thames which, a few years ago, went down with 000 lives? Too many nussenirers. Now this world Is ' only a ship, which was launched some six inousnnii years ago. It is sailing at the rate of many thousand miles an hour. It Is freighted with mountains nnd cities, nnd has In Its staterooms and steer age about sixteen hundred million pnsseu gers. So ninny aru coming aboard, it Is necessary that a good muny disembark. Suppose that all tho people that have lived since tho days of Adam anil Eve were still alive. What a cluttered up place thl world would be no elbow room no place to walk no privacy nothing to eat or wear, or if anything were left thu human rncu would, like a shipwrecked crew, have to lie put 011 small rations, each of us hav ing perhaps only n biscuit a day. And what chance would thero bo for thu rising generations? Thu men nnd women who started when tho world started would keep tho modern peoplo back and down, saying: "We nro six thousand years old. How down. History Is nothing, for we aru older thnn history." What a mercy for the hu mnn race was death! Within a few years you can get from this world all there is In it. After you hnvo had fifty or sixty or seventy springtimes, you havuseiu enough blossoms. After fifty or sixty or seventy autumns you have seen enough of gorgeous foliage. After fifty or sixty ot seventy winters, you have seen enough snowstorms and felt enough chills and wrapped your self in enough blankets. In the ordiunry length of human lifu you havn curried enough burdens, and shed enough tears, and suffered enough Injustices, nnd felt enough pangs, and been clouded by enough doubt, und surrounded by enough mys teries. We talk nbotit the shortness of life, but If wo exercised gissl sense we would realize t hat life is quite long enough. If wu art! the children of God wo nre at a banquet, and this world Is only tho first course of thu food, and wu ought to he glad that there are other and better and richer courses of fond to lie handed on Wo nro here In ono room of our Father's house, but there are rooms up stairs. They aro better pictured, better upholstered, better furnished. Why do wo want to stay In tho anteroom forever, when thero nro palatial apartments waiting for our occupancy? Whnt a mercy that there Is a limitation to earthly environments! PHYSICAL KIlAIIriKH. Death also makes room for improved physical machinery. Our Isnlles have wondrous powers, but they are very Urn Ited. There are lieast Hint can outrun tin, outllft us, outrorry us. Tho birds hnvo both tho earth and air for travel, yet wp must stick to tho ono. In this world. which the human race takes for It own, them are creatures of (lod that can far sur pass us In some things. Death removes this slower und less admit machinery nnd makes room for something better. These eyes that can see half n mile will lie re moved for those that can seo from world to world. These ears, which can hearn sound n few feet off, will Iw removed for cars that can hear from cone to none. These feet will lm removed for powers of locomo tion swifter than tho reindeer's hoof or canto's plume ot lightning's flash. Then we have only live senses, and to these we are shut up. Why only five senses? Why not fifty; why not ono hun dreds why not a thousand? We can have, nnd wo will hnvo them, but not until this present physleal machinery Is nut out of thowny. Do not think that this body Is tho best that f Jod can do for us. Cod did not half try when he contrived your Issllly mechanism. Mind you, I believe with all anatomist and with all physiologists and with nil scientists nnd with thu psalmist that "we aro fearfully and wonderfully made." Hut I Wllovo nnd I know that Ood can and will get us better physical equipment. Is It possible, for man to inako improve meiit In almost anything mid Cod not bo nblo to mnke Improvements In man's phjs leal machinery? Shall eannl Isiat give way to limited express train? Shnll slow letter glvo plneo to telegraphy, that places San Francisco mid New York within n minute of communication? Shnll tho tele phono take tho sound of a voice sixty miles and Instantly bring back another voice, and Cod, who made tho man who does these things, not Iw able to improve tho man himself with Inllnltu velocities and lullnlte multiplication? Hcncllccut Death comes in und makes the necessary removal to make way for these supernatural Im provements. So nlso our slow process of getting information must have n substi tute. Through prolonged study wo learned tho alphabet, and thou wo learned to spell, and then wu learned to rend. Then thu look Is put More us and tho eye travels from word to word and from pngo to page, and we take whole days to read the book, and If from that liook of four or live hundred pages wo have gained one or two profit able Ideas we feel wo liavo donu well. There must Imj some swifter way ami moro satisfactory way of taking in Clod's uni verse of thoughts and facts ami emotions nnd Information. Hut this cannot bo donu with your brain In its present state. Man) a orain gives way under the present facll ity. This whitish mass in tho upper cav- ltyof thu skull and at tho extremity of me nervous system tills center of percep tiou and sensation cannot endure more than it now endures. Hut God can make a better brain, and ho semis Death to remove this inferior brain that ho mny 'put In a superior brain. "Well," you say, "does not that destroy ti.. Idea of n resurrection of tho present body?" Oh. 110. It will Imj the old factory with new machinery new driving wheel, new bands, new levers nnd new power Don't you seo? So I suppose thu dullesi human brain after tho resurreetlonnry pioo ess will hnvo moro knowledge, moro acute ness, more brilliancy, moro breadth of swing than any Sir William Hamilton or Herschel or Isaac Newton or Faraday or Agassi, ever had in the mortal state or all their Intellectual powers combined. Yon seo God hns only just begun to build you. Tho palace of your nature has only tin foundation laid and part of tho lowe; story, and only part of ono window, hut tho great architect has madu his draft ot what you will be when tho Alhambrn Is completed. John was right when he snld, "It doth not yet appear what wo shall be." Hlesed be dentht for It removes all thohlndiuticc And who has not all his life run (gainst hindrances? Wu cannot go far up or fat down. If wo go far up wo get dizzy, mid if we go far down wo get suffocated. If men would go high up they ascend tlio Matterhorn or Mont Hlnucor lllinalajii but what disasters hnvo lieen reported as hey camo tumbling down. Or if they went down too far, hark to tho explosion of the firedamps, and seo tho disfigured bodies of the poor miners nt tho bottom of tho coal shaft. AN KNI) OK KAIIT1II.V V1CIRS1TU1IK8. Then thero are thu clltnatologlcal hln d ranees. We run against unpropltlous weather of nil sorts. Winter bllzznrd and summer scorch, nnd each season seems to hatch a brood of Its own disorders. The sum merspreadsitswlngsnndhatchesout fevers and sunstrokes, nnd spring nnd autumn spread their wings nnd hutch out malarias. ulul winter spreads its wings and hatches out pneumonias and Russian gripiies, und thu climate of this world is a hindrance which every man mid woman and child has felt. Death Is to tho good transfer ence to superior weather weather never fickle, nnd never too cold, and never too hot, and never too light, and nuver too dark. Have you any doubt that God can make better weather than is characteristic of this planet? 11 tossed is death! for It prepares tho way for change of zones, jea, It clears tho path to a hemlomnlpresenee. How often wo want to Imj indifferent places at the same time! How tierploxcd wo get Is-lng compelled to choose lietweeu Invitations, between weddings, between friendly groups, between throe nr four places wo would like to be in tlio sainn morning or the sumo noon or the saimi evening. While death may not open oppor tunity to bo in many places nt thu same time, so easy und so quick and so Instanta neous will Imj the transference that it will amount to aliout tho same thing. Quicker than I can speak this sentciicn you will be umong your glorious kindred, among the martyrs, among tho apostles, in tho gate, on the battlements, at thu temple, and now from world to world us soon as a robin hops from one tree branch to another tree brunch. Distance no hindrance. Immen slty easily compassed. Semlomnlpresei. el "But," says homo one, "I cannot see how God Is going to reconstruct my body in thu resurrection." Oh, that will bo very easy ns compared with what hu has already done with your body four or six or ten times. All scientists tell us thut tho hu man body changes entirely onco in seven years, so thut If you nro twenty-eight years of ngti you have now your fourth body. If you nro forty-two years of age you have had six bodies. If you nreseventy years of ago you hnvo had ten IkmIIos. Do you not, my unbelieving friend, think if God could build for you four or five or ten IkmIIos lie could renlly build for you ono more to bo called tho resurrection iHsly, Aye! to make that resurrection ImmIj- v. 11) not require half as much Ingenuity nnd iiowur us those other iKxlles you hnvo had Is It not easier for a sculptor to make a statue out of silent clay than It would 1m to make a stntuo out of somu material that is alive and moving, and running hither and thither? Will It not bu oiulor for Gisl to nrnke the resurrection Inxly out of the silent dust of the crumbled Ixxly than It wss to imtko your body over llvo or six or eight times while it was in motion, walking, climbing, falling or rising? God has already on your four or five bodies bestowed ten times moro omnipotenco than ho will put upon the resurrection IhmIv. Yen, wo have tho foun dation for thu resurrection liody In us now. Surgeons nnd physiologists sny thrro nro parts of tho human Issly tho usesof which they cannot understand, Thoy nroHcarch Ing whntthese parts were made, for hut hnvo not found out. I enn tell them, They aru the preliminaries of the resurrection body. Clod does not miiku Anything for nothing. The uses of those now surplus parts of tho Issly will bo demonstrated when thu glorified form Is constructed. IMIATII CI.KAIW TIIK WAY. Now, If Death clears thu wny for nil this, why paint him as a hobgoblin? Why cnll him thu king of terrors? Why think of hlmnsn great spook? Why sketch him with skeleton and arrows, mid standing on a imiik ot nark waters? Why have chil dren so frightened at his iiume that they daru not go to bed alone, and old men have their teeth chatter left some shortness of breath hand (hem over to tho monster? All tho Hges have been busy In maligning Death, hurling repulslvu metaphors at Death, slandering Death. Oh.forthoWcot breath of leister to eomo down on the earth, Might after the vernal equinox, and when the llowers mo lcglunlng to bloom, well may all nations with song and congratulation and garlands celebrate the resurrection of Christ and our own resin rectlon when the I lino Is gonu by, nnd tlio trumpets pour through tho Hying clouds tho harmonics Hint, shall wake the dead, Ily the empty nloho of Joseph's mnuso leiitn, by tho rocks that parted to let tho Inrd coiiui through, let our Ideas of chniig Ing worlds bo forever revolutionised. If what I have been saying Is true, liow dif ferently u ought to think of our friends departed. Tho body they have put off Is only as, when entering n hall lighted and usutindlng with musical hands, you leave your hnt nnd cloak In thu cloak risim. What would n banqueter do If ho had to carry thosu encumbrances of apparel with him Into tho brilliant reception? What would your departed rio with thtlr bodies If they hail to be encumbered with them in the king's draw Ing room? Gone Into tho llghtl Gone Into the music! ((one Into the festivity I Gone among kings and queens and conquerors! Gonu to meet F.lijah and hear him tell of thu chariot of fire, drawn by horses of fire nnd the soma Hon of mourning thosupnhlro stoops Gone to meet with Moses and liear him describe tho pile of black basalt that shook when thu law was given! Gone to meet Paul und hear him tell how Felix trembled, mid how the ship went to pieces In thu breakers, and how thick was thu darkness In the Mamertlnu dungeon! Gone to meet John' Knox nnd John Wesley and Hannah Mnr nud Frnnees llavergnl, Oono to meet tho kindled who preceded them! Why I should not wonder If they had n larger family group there than they ever had here. Oh, how many of them have got together again! Your father and mother went -years apart, but thoy have got together, and their children that went years ago got together again, Gone whore they have more room! Gonu where thev have more Jubilant society! Gone wheio they havu mightier rnpneity to fovo you thnn when they were herol Gono out of hindrances into uiiboui.ded liberty! Gone out of January Into Juno! Gone whore they tnlk about jou as we always talk iilMitit absent friends und say: "I wonder when they will come up hero to join tin, Harkl tho outside door of heaven swings open. Hark I thero nro feet on tho golden stnlrs. I'erhnps they nro coming!" C0MF0IIT KltOM TIIK JOHNSTOWN FLOOD. I was told at Johnstown nfter thu flood thut muny peoplo who hud lteeu for months nnd yours bereft for tho first ilmo got coin fort when the awful flood cnnie to thlnL J that their departed ones weru not present 10 seo 1110 euiustropiie. As thu peoplo weio floating down on thu housetops they said, "Oh, how glad I am thut father and motlui aro not here," or "How glad I urn thut thu children nru not alive to seo this horror!" And ought not wu who nru down here umid thu upturniugs of this life bo glad thut none of the troubles which submorgo us can ever affright our friends ascended? Heforo this I warrant our departed ones have boon IntriMlnced to all tho celebrities of heaven. -Some one has said tothem: "Let mo Introduce you to Joshua, the mail who by prayer stopped two worlds for several hours. Let 1110 make you acquainted with this group of three heroes John Huss, Philip Moluiicthon nud Martin Luthu. Aha! hero Is Fenelon! Hero Is Archbishop Lolghtnn! Hero aru Iatlmer und Hldloyl Hero Is Matthew Simpson! Hero is poet's row James Montgomery and Anna Har ban Id nud Horutlus Hoiinr nnd Phndm Palmer and Lowell Mason." Were your departed ones fond of music? What oratorios led on by Hnndol and Hnyden. Were they fond of pictures What Itaphaels pointing out skies with all colors wrought Into chariot wheels, wings of seraphim and coronations. Weru they fond of poetry? What eternal rhythms led on by John Milton. Shall wo pity our glorilled kindred? No, they had lietter pity us. We, tho shipwrecked and on a raft in the hurricane, looking up at them sailing on over calm seas, under skies that never frowned with teiuiests, wo hoppled with chains; they lifted by wings. "Sure ly the bitterness of death is past." Further, If whnt I huvo been saying is true, We should trust tho Iml and bo thrilled with thu fact that our own day of esoupu cometh. If our lives wore going to enu wiion our Heart ceased to pulsate and our luiics to breathe, I would wnnt to tuke ten million yours of llfu here for the first Installment. Hut, my Christian friends, wu cannot afford always to stay down In tho cellur of our Father's house. Wo can not ulwuysbu postponing tho best things. Wo cannot always Iks tuning our violins for the celestTal orchestra. Wu mtutgot our wings out. Wo must mount. We cannot afford nlwnys to stand out hero in tho vestibule of thu house of many man sloi.s, fhlle tho windows are Illuminat ed with thu loveo angelic, and wo can hear tho laughter of thoso forever free, and thu ground quakes with thu Isjunding feet of thosewho have entered ujion eternal play. Ushers of heaven! Open thu gates! Swng them clear back on their ponrly hinges! Let thu celestial music ruin on us Its cadences, Let the hanging gardens of thu king breathe on us their aroma t las. Iot our redeemed ones just look out anil givu us onu glunco of their glorified faces. Yes, there they aru now! I see them. Hut I cannot stand tho vision. Close tho gate, or our eyes will Imj quenched with the over powering brightness. Hold hick the song or our ours will never again cure for earth ly anthem. Withdraw the perfume or we shall swoon in the fragrance that human nostril was never made to breathe. TIIK TOMII OK TOM11S. All these thoughts are suggested us we stand this Kuster morn amid tho broken rocks of thu Saviour's tomb. Indeed, I know thnt tomb hns not Ihih rebuilt, for I sUmkI In Docemlwr of 1880 nmld tho ruins of thnt, tho most famous sepulcher of all time. There are, thou sands of tombs In our Greenwood nnd Laurel Hill nnd Mount Auburn with more polished stone and mnrnclnbornU) masonry and more foliage surroundings, but as I went down the steps of thu supposed tomb of Christ on in) nturn from Mount Oil vary, I said to mysulfi "This Is tho tomb of nil tombs. Around (his stand moro stu lieiiiloun Incidents thnn around any gravu of nil tho world slticu donth entered It." I could not breathe easily for overmas tering emotion ns I walked down tho four crumbling steps till we cntne abreast of tho niche In which I think Christ was hurled. I uuniurcd tho scpuldior and found It fourteen nnd n half feet long, eight fort high, nine feet wide. It Is a family tomb and seems lu hnvo boon built to hold five IkmIIos, Hut I rejoice to sny thut thu tomb was empty, and tho door of tho rtKik was gone, nnd tho sunlight streamed In. The day thnt Christ rose nud camo forth tho sepulcher was demolished forever, and no trowel of earthly masonry can ever rebuild It. And the rupture of those rooks, nnd thn snap of that governmental sent, nud tlio erash of those walls of limestone, nnd thu stop of tho Inroruted hut triumphant foot of tho risen Jesus wo today celebrate with acclaim of worshiping thousands, while with nil tho nations of Christendom, nud all the shining hosts of heaven wo ohnni, "NowlsChrlst risen from the dead and Imj como tlio first fruits of them thnt slept." ()!i, weep no more lour comforts slain, Tho !ord Is risen, he lives nimbi. "And now mny tlio God of M'iiee, wlm brought again from tho dead our Iir-l Jesus, that great shepherd of tho sheep, iiirougii mo iikmmi or tho everlasting cove nant mnko you jicrfoct lu every gissl wonl nnd work," Hulleltijuhl Amenl Two Female Ilnrlors In New York. Mulberry street Is not exuetly n plctut osquu locality. Ono would scarcely select Its squalor as the birthplace of romnnco or tho Inspiration of MK-try. Yet one of Its toll, forbidding old tenements has Won se lected by mysterious destiny as tho en vironment of ns fair nu Idyl as over tho days of romance know of knightly searcher for tho Grail or penitent pilgrim to tho Holy Land. Thero Is nothing to distin guish this house from Its less honored comrades, so far as externals are concerned. Tho entrance is us mean nnd uninviting, tho halls ns dark nnd dirty, narrowing to apparent solidity In tho dusky extremities. Tho llttlo suite of npurtmonts contain three rooms n parlor with windows open ing to tho light, a kitchen facing tho nil shnft, where, when your eyes get accus tomed to the darkness, you can lu the very middle of the day distlnulsh a nnll In the wall, nnd an Inner room where thero Is no light nt all. If you open tho dirty doorr you will seo scones of squalor, wretched ness, misery and most appalling dirt. Right lu tho midst of nil thoso is n door precisely like nil thu others, save thnt It in freshly painted und clean, opening Into one of tho little parlors where bright rugs nnd soft enrnets cover tho fhsir: tho dnyllght streams In gay ly through the Mllshcd win dow panes over exquisite pictures repro ductions of rare old masters hnngngainst neatly papered walls. In ono corner Is a cabinet crowded with iK-autiful china. Kv urywhero an air of most cultured refine ment pervades the room. Out of this room, which is parlor and office and bed room, opens tho llttlo dining room, with Its dainty table service, nnd then tho kitchen, with nil Its convenient nppurten nuces. And here two young college women, physicians, have founded their llttlo home, nud hope to establish n practice nmong the poor people of the neighborhood. Their leuiuiierution?

Their names? Ah! thnt Is thelrsecret. New York Sun. Women nnd Their I'miilm. "Tho women seem to have their purse full of pennies," remarked a car conductor a llttlo grimly as onu of his passengers, a woman, of course, was counting out fifteen of them Into his waiting hand. "I don't get many from men, but thu women loud mo tip with them." "And you don't like It?" questioned tho woman who had Just seriously contributed to his present load. "Well, you see, ma'am, It's very tlre somu to count them over. It shouldn't make much difference, but it does when a man Is In n hurry nt thu end of his trip. And It is easy to drop onu or two, and then wo hnvo to make them up. Wo like nickels lK'tter." Then the second womnn of the trio whose faro had prisluced thu pennies sjwko up: "Hut wo hnvo thu M'iinIos, and car faro Is one of our ways to get rid of them. Men buy papers and cigars, you know, to use up loose change. Wo don't." Tho conductor smiled, und so did several In tho cnr. A big mini opMsito joined in. "Excuse me, madam," ho said, addressing tho last speaker, "but If you'll save your pennies for your innrketman you'll be do ing him n favor, nnd you'll likely hnvo nickels for your cnr fnre. I'm a butcher, nnd I know how glnd wo nro to get pen nies." Tho womnn thanked him nnd snld civ illy thnt she should rcmciuljer, and the "penny" question wns dropped, Thero is n hint in this toother women. Use your pennies for your grocer und butcher und linker, who will welcome them, nnd case the cnr conductor's lot with nickels. Her Point of View In New York Times. A Iksoii for u Careless Woman. Tho pious Philip Neri was onco visited by 11 lady who accused herself of slander. Ho hade her go to thu market, buy n chick en just killed nnd still covered with feath ers, nnd walk a certain dlstnnce, plucking tho bird as sho went. Thu woman did as sho was directed nnd returned, anxious to know the meaning of tho Injunction. "He trace your steps," said Philip, "and gather up, ono by one, all tho feathers you huvo scattered." "I cast tho feathers carelessly uwuy," said tho woman, "and tho wind carried them In all directions." "Well, my child." replied Philip, "so It is with slanders.

A. number of year ago I suggested to one of my clients that he place an advertisement for goods used exclu sively by men In a paper suppowxl to be read exclusively by women. Th advertisement appeared; it continued In that paper several consecutive years. The actual mall cosh sales, coming directly from that advertise ment, were two or three times as great, reckoning proportionate cost, than came from the same advertise ment In any of the huudred papers my client was advertising in. Blue then I have mini these experiments many times, until I believe I have a right to claim that the experiment has passed into fact. Xath'l O. Fowltr, Jr., Ailrertiting A'xperf.
