TALM AGE’S SERMON.
CHRISTIAN DEATH AS THE EN
TRANCE TO FULLER LIFE.
Rloqnonl Kiwiter I>l»coo-*e Trenched from
Corlnthlam, "Death Is Swallowed I P
In Victory" Why Should We lionht
That God Can Raise I s from Heath?
(Copyright, l'.iOI, Louis Klopwh, N. T.)
Washington, March :J0.—The Chris
tian view of death as the entrance to
a fuller life is presented in this Eas
ter discourse by Dr. Talmage from the
text I Cor. xv. 54, "Death is swallowed
up in victory."
About 1,870 Easter mornings have
wakened the earth. 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, she t .vays a
more jeweled scepter, and in her
smile nations are irradiated. How
welcome she is when, after a harsh
winter and late spring, she seems to
step out of the snow bank rather than
the conservatory, to come out of the
north instead of the south, out of the
arctic rather than the tropics, dis
mounting from the icy equinox, but
welcome this queenly day, 'holding
high in her right hand the wrenched
off bolt of Christ's sepulcher and hold
ing high In her left hand the key to
all the cemeteries in Christendom.
My text is an ejaculation. It is spun
out of halleluiahs. Paul wrote on in
his argument about the resurrection
and observed all the laws of logic, but
when he came to write the words zl
the text his lingers and his pen and
the parchment on wuich he wrote took
fire, and he cried out, "Death is swal
lowed up in victory!" It is an excit
ing thing to see an army routed and
flying. You have read of the French
falling back from Sedan, of Napoleon's
track of 90.000 corpses in the snow
banks of Russia, of the retreat of our
armies from Manassas or of the live
kings tumbling over the rocks of Beth
horan with their armies while the hail
storms of heaven and the swords of
Joshua's host struck them with their
fury.
in my text Is a worse clisooinnture.
It seeni3 that a black giant proposed
to conquer the earth. He gathered for
his hosts all the aches and pains and
malarias and cancers and distempers
and epidemics of the ages. He march
ed them down, drilling them in the
northwest wind and amid the slush of
tempests. He threw up barricades of
grave mound. He pitched tent of char
nal house. Some of the troops march
ed with slow tread commanded by
consumptions, some in double quick
command of pneumonias. Some he
took by long besiegement of evil habit
and some by one stroke of the battleax
of casualty. With bony hand be
pounded at the door of hospitals and
sickrooms, and won ail the victories in
ail the great battlefields of all of the
five continents. Forward, march:
ordered the conqueror of conquerors,
and all the generals and commanders
In chief and all the presidents and
kings and sultans and czars dropped
under the feet of his war charger. But
one Christmas night his antagonist
was bora.
As most of the plagues and sick
nesses and despotisms come out of the
east, it W’as appropriate that the new
conqueror should come out of the sme
quarter. Power is given him to awak
en all the fallen of all the centuries
and of all lands and marshal them
against the black giant. Fields have
already been won. but the last day
of the world’s existence will see the
decisive battle. When Christ shall
lead forth his two brigades, the bri
gade of the risen dead and the brigade
of the celestial host, the black giant
will fall back, and ihe brigade from
the riven sepulchers will take him
from beueatb, and the brigade of des
cending Immortals will take him
from above, and doth shall be swal
lowed up in victory.
Tlie old antagonist Is driven back
Into mythology with all the lore about
Stygian ferry and Charon with oar
and boat. Melrose abbey and Kenil
worth castle are no more in ruins than
is the sepulcher. We shall have no
more to do with death than we have
with the cloakroom at a governor's or
a president's levee. We stop at such
cloakroom and leave in charge of a
servant our overcoat, our overshoes,
our outward apparel, 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 re
ception of monarchs, 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 the porter, the
coat or hat may be handed to us bet
ter than when we resigned it, and the
cloak of humanity will Anally tie re
turned to us improved and brightened
and purified and glorified.
You and I do not want our bodies re
turned as they are now. We want to
get rid of all their weaknesses and all
their susceptibilities to fatigue and ali
their slowness of iocomctior. We
want them put through a chemistry of
soil ana heat ard cold and changing
seasons, out of which God will recon
struct them as much better than they
are now as the body of the rosiest and
healthiest child that bounds over the
lawn in Central Park is better than the
sickest patient, in Bellevue hospital.
But as to our soul, we will cross right
over, not waiting for obsequies, inde
pendent of obituary, into a state in
every way better, with wider room and
velocities beyond computation, the
dullest of us into companionship with
the very best spirits in their very best
mood. In the very parlor at the uni
verse, the four walla bi:.nished and
paneled and pictured and glorified with
all the splendors that the infinite Ciod
In all the ages has been able to Invent.
Victory!
This view, of course, makes it of but
little importance whether we are cre
mated or sepultured. If the latter is
dust to dust, the former is ashes to
ashes. If any prefer incineration, let
them have it without cavil or protest.
The world may become so crowded that
cremation may be universally adopted
by law as well as by general consent.
Many of the mightiest and best spirits
have gone through this process. Thou
sands and tens of thousands of God's
I children have been cremated—P. P.
Bliss and wife, the evangelistic singers,
cremated by accident at Ashtabula
bridge; John Rodgers, cremated by
persecution; Latimer and Ridley, cre
mated at Oxford; Pothinus and Blan
dinn, a slave, and Alexander, a physi
cian, and their comrades cremated at
the order of Marcus Aurelius; at least
a hundred thousand of Christ's disci
ples cremated, and there can be no
doubt about the resurrection of their
bodies. Whether out of natural disin
tegration or cremation we shall get
that luminous, buoyant, gladsome,
transcendent, magnificent, inexplicable
structure called the resurrection body
You will have it; I will have i'.
I pay to you to-aay, as Paul said to
Agrippa, “Why should it be thought a
thing incredible with you that God
should raise the dead?” That far up
cloud, higher than the hawk flies, high
er than the eagle flics, what is it made
of? Drops of water from a river, other
drops from a lake, still other drops
from a stagnant pool, but now embod
ied in a cloud and kindled by the sun.
If God can make such a lustrous cloud
out of water drops, many of them soil
ed and impure end fetched from miles
away, can he not tarnsport 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 cones, muscle and flesh
are made, set them up again if they
have fallen? If a manufacturer of tel
escopes drops a telescope on the floor
and it breaks, can he not mend it
again so you can see through it? And
if God drops the human eye into the
dust, the eye which he originally fash
ioned, can he not restore it?
“Why should it be thought with you
an incredible thing that God should
raise the dead?” Things all around us
suggest it. Out of what grew all these
flowers? Out of the mold and the
earth. Resurrected! Resurrected! The
radiant butterfly—where did it come
from? The loathsome caterpillar. That
albatross that smites the tempest with
its wings—where did it come from? A
senseless shell. Near Bergerac, France,
in a Celtic tomb near a block, were
found flower seeds that had been bur
ied 2.000 years. The explorer took the
flower seed and planted it., and it came
up. It bloomed in bluebell and helio
trope. Two thousand years ago bur
ied, yet resurrected! A traveler says
he found in a mummy pit in Egypt
garden peas that had been buried there
3,000 years ago. He brought them out
and on the 4th of dune, 1844. he plant
ed them and in thirty days they sprang
up. Buried 3,000 years, yet resurrected!
“Why should it be thought a thing
incredible with you that God should
raise the dead?”
\\ here din all this siik come from—
the silk that adorns your persons and
your homes? In the hollow of a staff
of Greek missionary brought from Chi
na to Europe the progenitors of those
worms that now supply the silk mar
kets of many nations. The pageantry
of bannered host and the luxurious ar
ticles o£ commercial emporium blaz
ing out from the silkworms. And who
shall be surprised if out of this insig
nificant earthly body, this insignificant
earthly life, our bodies unfold into
something worthy of the coming eter
nities? Put silver into diluted niter,
and it dissolves. Is the silver gone
forever? No. Put in some pieces of
copper, and Ihe silver reappears. If
one force dissolves, another force or
ganizes.
"Why should it lie thought a thing
incredible with you that God should
raise the dead?’’ The insects flew and
the worms crawled last autumn fee
bler and feebler and then stopped.
They have taken no food. They want
none. They lie dormant and insensi
ble. but soon the south wind will blow
the resurrection trumpet, and the air
and the earth will be full of them. Do
you not think that God can do as much
tor our bodies as he dors for the wasps
and the spiders and the snails? This
morning at half-past 4 o’clock there
! was a resurrection. Out of thp night
the day. In a few weeks there will be
a resurrection in all our gardens. Why
not some day a resurrection amid 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. Wil
liam Tennent, a great evangelist of the
last generation, of whom Dr. Archi
bald Alexander, a man far from being
sentimental, wrote in most eulogistic
terms—Rev. William Tennent seemed
to die. His spirit apparently left the
body. People came in day after day
and said, "He is dead, he is dead."
But the soul that fled returned, and
Will Tennent lived to write what he
had seen while his soul was gone.
It may be found some time that what
is railed suspended animation or coma
tose state is brief death, giving the soul
an excursion into the next world, from
which it comes back, a furlough of u
few hours granted from the conflict of
life to which it must return. Physiolo
gist tell us that while the most of our
bodies are built with each wonderful
economy that we can spare nothing,
and the loss of a finger is a hlnderment
end the Injury of a toe Joint makes us
lame, still that we have two or three
useless physical apparatuses, and no
anatomist or physiologist has ever been
able to tell us what they are good for.
They may be the foundation of the
resurrection body, worth nothing to us
In this state to be Indispensably valu
able In the next state. The Jewish
rabbis and the scientists of our day
have found out that there are two or
thrpe superfluities of body that are
something gloriously suggestire of an
other state.
I called at my friend's bcase one
summer day. I found the yard all
piled up with the rubbish of carpen
ter's and mason’s work. The door was
off. The plumbers had torn up the
floor. The roof was being lifted in
cupola. All the pictures were gone,
and the paper bangers were doing their
work. All the modern Improvements
were being Introduced into that dwell
ing. There was not a room in the house
fit to live In at that time, although a
month before when 1 visited that house
everything was so beautiful I could
not have suggested an improvement.
My friend had gone with hi3 family
to the Holy Land, expecting to come
hack at the end of six mouths, when
the building was to be done. And, oh.
what was his joy when at the end of
six months he returned and found the
old house had been enlarged and im
proved and glorified. That is your
body. It looks well now—all the rooms
tilled with health, and we could hard
ly make a suggestion. But after awhile
your soul will go to the Holy Band,
and while you are gone the old house
of your tabernacle will be entirely re
constructed from cellar to attic, and
every nerve, muscle and bone and tis
sue and artery must be hauled over,
and the old structure will bo burnished
and adorned and raised and cupolaed
and enlarged, and all the improve
ments of heaven Introduced, and you
will move into it on resurrection day.
"Eor we know that if our earthly house
of this tabernacle were dissolved we
have a building of God, a house not
made with bands, eternal in the heav
ens.” Oh, what a day when body and
soul meet again! They are very fond
of each other. Did your body ever have
a pain and your soul not pity it, or
your body have a joy and your soul not
re-echo it, or, changing the qmstion,
did your soul ever have any trouble
and your body not sympathize with it,
growing wan and weak under the de
pressing influence? Or did your soul
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 long separated.
And so when the world's last Easter
morning shall come the soul will de
scend, crying, “Where is my body?”
And the body will ascend, saying,
“Where is my soul?” And the Lord of
the resurrection will bring them to
gether, and it will be a perfect soul in
a perfect body, introduced by a per
fect Christ into a perfect heaven. Vic
tory! Do you wonder that on Easter
day we swathe our churches with gar
lands? Do you wonder we celebrate it
with the most consecrated voice of
song that we can invite, with the deft
est fingers on organ and cornet and
with doxologies that beat these arches
with the billows of sound as thrt
sea smites the basalt at Giant’s Cause
way? Only the bad disapprove of the
resurrection. A cruel heathen war
rior heard Mr. Moffatt, the missionary,
preach abcrnt 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?" said the erne’,
chieftain. “Yes,” said the mission
ary. Then said the warrior: “Let
me hear no more about the resurrec
tion; there can be no resurrection;
there shall be no resurrection. I have
slain thousands in battle. Will they
rise?” Ah. there will be more to rise
on that day than those whose crimes
have never been repented of will want
to see! But for all others who allowed
Christ to be their pardon and their
life and their resurrection it will be
a day of victory.
The thunders of the last day will
be the salvo that greets you into har
bor. The lightnings will be only the
torches of triumphal procession
marching down to escort you home.
The burning worlds flashing through
immensity will be the rockets cele
brating your coronation on thrones
where you will reign forever and for
ever and forever. Where is death?
What have we to do with death? Aa
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
valleys, and they will be the emptied
graves, they will be the abandoned
sepulchers, with rough ground tossed
on each ride of them, and slab • will lie
uneven cn the rent hillocks, and there
will he fallen monuments and ceno
taphs. and then for the first time you
will appreeiate the full exhilaration of
the text, "Death is swallowed up in
victory ”
liail the l<ord of earth aud heaven!
i’raise to thee by both be given.
Thee we greet triumphant now;
Hail the resurrection thou!

T. The Rest from Persecution. Peace
ful Times for the Church.—V. 31. How
long the persecution lasted after Saul’s
conversion we do not know, but it prob
ably burned out in two or three years.
There were not many with Saul’s fiery
zeal.
Rut the probable reason for its cessa
tion lay in the troubles the Jews were
having with their Roman rulers. They
themselves were being persecuted, and
this left no time or opportunity for them
to persecute Christians.
V. Healing the Sick.—Vs. 32-35. ‘‘As
Peter passed throughout all quarters.”
He went everywhere visiting and encour
aging and teaching the new churches
formed by the persecuted Christians, and
keeping them in touch with the apostolic
church In Jerusalem. “The saints which
dwelt at Lydda.” All Christians were
called saints, because that was thir aim
and the characteristic of their lives. "He
found." As he went about doing good,
it was not chance, but providence. In
connection with his own seeking for ways
to help others. "Named Aeneas." "Kept
his bed eight years.” So that the cure
must have been miraculous. "And was
sick of the palsy.” Palsy is a contraction
of the word ‘‘paralysis.’* The term is
used by tile ancient physicians in a much
wider sense than by our modern men of
seienee. It imiuded not only what we
cal! paralysis, which is rarely very pain
ful, but also catalepsy and tetanus, i. e..
cramps and lockjaw. Roth were very
painful and dangerous.
jesus i nnsi. i nut is, t nr* Hessian
Peter guards against being, thought the
source of healing. He draws men not
to himself, but to the Saviour. So the
true preacher or teacher always ‘'hides
behind the cross." He draws attention
not to himself, but to bis l.ord "Mak
eth thee whole.” This is a very express
ive term for complete health, where ev
ery part of the body is present and in
perfect condition. It is the type of a holy
soul. “Arise, and make thy bed.” He
was henceforth to do for himself what
others had done for him
Note 1. To those who are seeking to do
good, new opportunities will continually
come, opportunities which those who arc
waiting in idleness will never find, nor
see even when they come before their
eyes. Good works toward the sick and
unfortunate, expressing the true charac
ter of our religion, and of our Saviour,
and his power over men for good, form
one of the strongest influences drawing
men to Christ. The more Christians do
for the poor, the sick, the unfortunate,
the more will they be multiplied.
VI. Helping the Poor.—V. 2ti. "There
was at Joppa" (Beautiful). "A certain
disciple named Tabitha." This in Syriac,
the common language of the region,
means splendor, beauty, "Called Dorcas”
(Gazelle), which In the Hast was a fa
vorite type of beauty. "Was full of good
works and almsde ds."
Remarks. 1. Good works for the poor
are characteristic of the Christian relig
ion.
2. The personal element, the giving of
one's seif with the gift, is a necessary
part of good works for the sick and poor.
It Is as necessary for the giver as for the
recei ver.
3. This is the way to lay up treasures
in heaven. It develops the heavenly
character. It makes sweeter music,
greater raptures, wider visions possible.
VII. Raising the Dead.— Vs. 37-43. "jr?he
was sick, and died." Possibly ns a mar
tyr to her over-exertions in behalf of the
poor: and she may wear a martyr's
crown as really as Stephen or Peter.
Even the best of people f-nmi times die
early. God knows the best time for us to
die. And yet it is a great privilege to be
able to continue our work on earth.
' Paid her in an upiu-r chamber." "la
Jerusalem no corpse lay over night, but
outside Jerusalem three days might
elapse between death and burial, in spe
cial cases."—Know ling.
"Lydda was nigh to Joppa." Nine
miles.—Know ling. Ten miles.—Hastings.
“Heard that Peter was there." "It was
too late to send for a physician, hut not
too late to send for Peter. A physician
after death is an absurdity, but not an
apostle after death." "Delay to come to
them." They knew that peter had
wrought some great miracles in Jesus'
name, though he had not restored the
dead. lint they hoped that he might help
them in some way.

Blood by him weeping." Tho poor wid

'Voats which Dorcas made." Was accus
tomed to make. "Shewing."
"Peter put them all forth," as Christ
did from the room of Jairus' daughter,
and as Elijah, in restoring the Shuna
mite's won. This would keep him from
interruption; he could concentrate his
mind on the Lord's will as to Tuliitha; It
would avoid all appearance of display.
Probably Peter' did not know at tlrst
what the result would be. "Kneeled
down, and prayed," to learn the Lord’s
will, and to receive his power. "Tabitha.

one awaking from sleep. "She sat up."
showing that she was really alive again.
"And it was" (became) "known . . .
and many believed in the Lord.” The
good works which the disciples did. on
the one hand, and the power of the Lord
to heal and save, on the other, both com
mended the gospel to the people, and
made it known everywhere.
4:i. "Tarried many days." Peter struck
while the iron was hot. The harvest was
ripe, II was great, the laborers were few.
“Joppa" was a large city, a busy sea
port. and hence an excellent center from
which to send forth the knowledge of the
gospel. "With one Simon, a tanner."
whose house was by the seaside (Acts
10:0).
The Restoration of Dorcas. 1. It
brought Into prominence Christian care
1 for the poor.
2. It called attention to the fact that
Jesus had risen from the dead, and was
still alive in heaven, and could do the
same wonders through his disciples as
I he himself had done when on earth. It
' was no dead Saviour, but a living Sav
iour, whom the apostles preached.
It was a lesson on Immortality,
teaching that the soul has an existence
separate from the body: and that eternal
life, begun here, und continuing forever.
Is the life that should be most earnestly
sought.

This applies to St. Jacobs Oil used for
fifty years. It contains ingredients that
are unknown to any one but the manu
facturers and their trusted employees. Its
pain killing properties are marvellous, as
testified to by the thousands of once crippled
human beings now made well and free from
pain by its use. St J cobs Oil has a record
of cures greater than all other medicines.
Its sales are larger than those of any other
proprietary medicine and ten times greater
than all other embrocations, oils and lini
ments combined, simply because it has been
proved to be the best.
Weak and Sickly Children
Who, perhaps, have inherited a weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler’s Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler’s Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should he treated with
small doses of Vogeler’s Curative Compound,
from two to five drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. It is the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of a great living physician.
