After an app:opri t-i reception of
the welcnne by the Lodge lie* A.W.
Me Kinney, preached the following
EASTER SERMOV
Teit, 1 Coriutheaus Chapter 15—V 1#.
••It in (hie life only we have hope in Christ
we are iu^all men most miserable.’’
It is custom ou occasions like tbit to
eulogize the Order giviug.ite history set
ting tortb its piinciplee, accomplishment*
Ac. Such a course is day wonld be aoth
iug new.
1 shall therefore depart from the cus
tom, and speak of tbe occasion wbiob
brings us together, viz; Eaa.er Easter,in its
modern sense is another term for resurrect
ion.
It has ever been tbe disposition of man
kind to mark great events. Thus the pat
riarchs of the Old Testaaieut marked the
places where good via ted them. Jacob
when sleeping under the open tky
dreamed that, a ladder reached from
earth to heaves. And whan he awoke he
■at up a stone e»yiug‘*5arely God is iu this
place and I know it not." Abmham, when
about to offer up his son Isaac was deliv
ered hy the interposition.of God. And be
called that place Jehovah Jireh the Lord
will provide. After ell it is the presence of
God that makes oue place more sacred than
another. I care nothing about your fres
coed walls, windows and costly pews.Show
me where God manifest himself to his peo
pla whether that be palaco or prison tbe
»eme is holy ground.
But there are some things which God ha*
uotsnff -red man to mark. Moses the great i
Major General, Lawgiver, prophet, prie-t |
and king of Israel served his day and gen- !
eration, but when he must die God hid his
grave from the Israelites. Why ? Doubt
less to k-ep them fr in deifying and wor
shipping the creature more than the cre
ator. Just this thing men are likely torts.
The human soul craves a visible object of
worship. But God destroys these that he
may lead us out uuto the unknown up
into himself.
But as for this occasion—the resurrect
ion, the eternal deems it of such vast im
port that he has not trusted to mau simp
ly but has marked it himself.
I will read you tbe lris'ory th reof and I
show you God's mark oa the snbjeet ofI
Kesurrection. The Isralitea were con '
maaded to leave Egypt on the fourteenth
dry of the month, Abib. They were com
manded to preprepere a feast, and partake
of it b fore departing. This feast w« to |
be obsrrved annually as long as their na
tion lived, (bat it might be Lauded down to
the remotest generation.
Now, it was on the same eocasiou
that Christ on that memorable night be
fore his death, partook of the Passover and
instituted the Lord's Sapper. Afterwards.
He was betrayed by His foes, drawn before
the rulers, want through a mock trial, |
etndsnined, crucified, dead, and buried
Now, the Sariptures explicitly state, that
on the third uorniug, He arose from
the grave. Thus, God baa indelibly matk
ed the Rasnrrection as a historical to
And how appropriate it the time ! How
beautiful! It seems to me that God has
exerted His oounipobB'e to fix it at a
tiara when ail uature should vie with tba
scripture* in teaching men the great les
son of immortality. At this time when
the voice of turtle, whippoorwill and j
mocking-bird join to tba returning spring.
At this time, when our earth swings back
under the sun's directer r*y. At this time,
when showers from above come down and
water the earth, aud wLeu the earth heave*
from below and sends up her strength.
' At this time, when men rash ont of their'
houses, throw off their winter garments
and dress themselves in gay Attire. At
this time, when the earth herself put* ou a
carpet of green trees bad, roses bloom
and all th&air is Billed with perfume. At
such a time we are called upon to consider
the eubject of our resurrection. At this
time too we are prepared for this occasion
from another stand pei,.t. As I look over
this vast audieuce. I see f .oe* whose cheek*
are scarcely dry from the tears which death
made you weep. The signs of mourning
are tb ok among you. This tells tne tbs'
death has invaded your iautilv circles, and
borne some jewel from yonr bearth-ctouv. j
■lust there perched ou your banners I see
red, white and blue, nut the sign of death j
appears there also, orape ou your banners I
crape ou your doors 7 and yon are clad iu
mourning With these signs ot death all J
around, how eucbautiug to think of a r s- j
itrrection day.
Conte friends and relations lets join hearts
and bauds
The voice of the turtle i* heard in our
laud
Lets all wa!k together and follow th*
sound
A >d march to the place where Redemption
is found.
The place is iu Jesus to him if you'll go
Ton'll Bud there re leuipti >u from sin
aud from woe.
It has beau affirmed by time tbit tha
Old Testament fathers only looked for a
tranaitiory promise and the Old Test
ament Scripture-. Hut every book,and al
most every peg* teem with teatimouy that
they lived in hope of a glorious irntnor
taliity. A few instances. When the tiu
beieiving saduceee* came to Christ,with the
case of the woaauan who had seven hus
bands. Eie reply to them was : ‘Ye do
ere not knowing the scriptures" tor that
the dead was raised up even Moses was
showed st the burning bush, when God
proclaimed himself as the God of Abraham,
and of Isaac and of Jacob. He is not a
God of the dead but of the living. Turn
ing to the chronology we find that these
fathers had been dead about three hun
dred years. Hut Gol speaking of them
rues net the past but the present tense -1
am the God of Abraham, and of Isaac and
of Jacob, as much aa to say, through dead
for three hundred years they still live in
my preeeace- onto God there are no dead.
Another striking instance is that found
in Job. Jo. Bereaved effected, ai d re
proached be piues away at the gates of
beam, Hie friends tell him to give up all
hope, that he will never more see good that
death ends all, even bis wife said to hiui,
curse God and die. Hut in the strength
of his faith rising superior to doubt he ex
claims : "O, that my words were now
written ! O, that they were printed in a
book ! That they were graven w.tban iro i
pen and lead in the rock forover ! for I
know that my redeemer livuth and that
be shall stand at the Utter day upon the
the earth, and though aad attar worms
destroy this body yet in any flesh shall
I see God.Why did he want his words
engraven in atone? Surely that coming
generations till the end of time might know
tbet he believed in a resurrection.
Isaiah prophesied for Israel during tl e:r
captivity. It was very natural for them in
this condition to become di-coaraged, to
cry out all hope is goue we will never more
aee good Rut Uriah banishes their des
pair with the words ! Thy dead men st all
hve, together with my dead body shall they
irise." So far wae he from looking for a
transit) ry promise that he preached itu
mortallity for the dead.
But tbe hope of our Kesurr.-ction depend*
upon that ot Ctari-t. ff Chri-t l-e not rissa
then ia our preaching rain, our faith is al
ao rain and we are yet in our sirs. (Here
showed that the Reearrecton of Christ rents
upon testimony, such as would he valid in
auy court of law. i Conclusion.
Addratoing > y sell to you brothers ami
sisters of the Immaculate fraternity, there
are many things praise worthy of your
noble order a few of which I will mention;
Principle is the ouly thing worth living
for or worth dying for. The chief corner
stone of Iuimaculatieiu ia belief in tlia
ex atence of God, I believe Ibis is the first
requisite of every perttou who seeks nuion
with your order |I exhort you to a‘and by
this principle, for there are plen'y of rneu
in this country who do uot believe, or pro
feaa to believe in the existence < f God. I
see also that it is vour custom annually to
o iserva Easter Service, thus proclaiming to
tbe world that you believe in a resurrection
in immortallity, iu a liie beyond the grave.
Time would fail me to apeak of your many
virtues such as fidelity love and charity?
virtues witnont which no individual eau be
n >ble, no home cju be happy. Without
the virtuas no organization can long etis
The statement that ons hundred and fif
ty thousand dollars since the organix«tion
; of your society has been expended in aiding
lb a beretved families of deceased members
is sutticent testimony of the ability of the
1 order to keep its pledge.
Go pu with your good work, live bv ym r
principle*, uud may God help yon to so
live that like Job your faith, many he en
t graveu iu stones, that generations following
many read your laith aud not be ashamed.
M*y God enable yon to so live too, that
when others shill take your place and you
stand before the Judgement seat of Christ
you may neitb-r be ashamed of yonr faith
or practice.
