In this Easter sermon Dr. .Talmage
Interprets the message which the flow
ers bring to the anxious, the dispirited
and the bereaved; text, Luke 12:28, "If

The lily is the queen of llible flowers.
The Tose may have disputed her throne
in modern times and won it, but the
rose originally had only five petals. It
was under the long continued and in
tense gaze of the world that the rose
blushed Into its present beauty. In the
Bible train, cassia and hyssop and
frankincense and myrrh and spikenard
and camphor and the rose follow the
lily. Fourteen times i'n the Biblq is the
lily mentioned; only twice the rose.
The rose may now have wider empire,
but the lily reigned in the time of
Esther, in the time of Solomon, in the
time of Christ. ' Caesar had his throne
on the hillB. The lily hnd her throne In
the valley. In the greatest sermon thnt
was ever preached there wns only one
flower, and that & lily. The Bedford
dreamer,' John Bnnyan, entered the
bouse of the interpreter and was shown
a cluster of flowers and was told to
"consider the lilies."
We may study or reject other sciences
at our option it is so with astronomy,
it isso with chemistry, it is so with juris
prudence, it is so with physiology, it
is so with geology but the science of
botany Christ commands us to study
when He says: "Consider the lilies."
Measure them from root to tip of petal.
Inhale their breath. Notice the grace
fulness of their poise. Hear the whis
per of the white lips of the eastern and
the red lips of the American lily. 1
Belonging to this royal family of
lilies are the lily of the Nile, the Jupnn
lily, the Lady Washington of the
Sierras, the Golden band lily, the Giant
lily of Nepaul, the. Turk's cap lily, the
African lily from the Cape of Good
Hope. All these lilies have the royul
blood in their veins. But I take the
lilies of my text this morning as typ
ical of all flenversyond AUeir voice of
floral beauty seems to address Us, say
ing: "Consider the lilies, consider the
azaleas, consider the fuchsias, consider
the geraniums, consider the ivies, con
sider the hyacinths, consider the helio
tropes, consider the oleanders." With
deferential and grateful and intelligent
and worshipful souls, consider them.
Not i with insipid sentimental ism or
with sophomoric vaporing, but for
grand and practical and everyday, and,
if need be, homely uses; consider them.

sage. What have you to sny to us, 0 ye
ngels of the grass? This morning I
mean to discuss what flowers are good
for. That is my subject; What are
Bowers good for? .
I remark, in the first place, they are
good for lessons of God s providential
care. That was Christ's first thought.
All these flowers seem to address us to
day, saying: "fltjd will give you np-
rare! and food." We have no wheel with
which to spin, no loom with which to
weave, no sickle with which to harvest,
no well sweep with which to draw
water, but God feeds us with the bread
t! the sunshine, and Cod hns appareled
us with more than Solomonic regality.
We are prophetesses of adequate ward
robe. If God so clothed us, the grass
of the field, will He not much more
clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Men
and women of worldly anxieties, take
Ibis mcBsaire home with rou! How lone
lias God taken core of you? Quarter of
the journey of life? Half the journey
of life? Three-qnarters the journey of
life? Can you not trust Him the rest
-of the way? God does not promise you
anything like that which the Itomun
emperor had on his table at vast ex
pense SOQ nightingales' tongues but
He has promised to take care of you.
He has promised you the necessities,
not the luxuries bread, not cake. If
Ood so luxuriantly clothes the grass of
the field, will lie not provide for you,
His living and immortal children? He
will.
No wonder Mnrtin Luther always had
a flower on bis writing desk for in
spiration! Through the .cracks oftthe
prison door a flower grew up to cheer
rieciolu. Mungo I'ark, the great trav
eler and explorer, had his life saved by
a flower. He sank clown in the desert
to die, but, seeing a flower near by, it
suggested (Joel's merciful care, and he
got up with new courage and traveled
on to safety. I said the flowers are the
- angels of the grass. I add now they are
the evangels' of the sky. - , . , ' - . -.

good for the bridal day.- The bride
must have them on her brow, and she
must hava them In her hand. The mar
riage altar must be covered with them.
A wedding without flowers would bans

much of the pathway of life is covered
up. with thorns, we ought to cover the
beginning with orange blossoms.
Flowers are appropriate on such oc
casions, for in ninety-nine out of a hun
dred cases it is the very best thing that
nould have happened. The world may
criticise and pronounce it an inapti
tude .unci may its eyebrows in sur
prise and think it might suggest some
thing better, but the Ood who see the
SO, 40, M'years of wedded life before
they have begun arranges for the best.
Eo that flowers in almost all cases are
appropriate for the marriage day. The
divergences of disposition will become
correspondences, recklessness will be
come prudence, frivolity will be turned
into practicality.
There hns been many nn aged wid

stir in the dust. of the anther, and it
rounds out, and it is full of life, and it
begins to tremble in the procession up
the church aisle, and the dead music of
half Century ago comes throbbing
through the air, and vanished faces re
appear, and right hands are joined, and
a manly voice promises: "I will, for
better or for worse," and the wedding
march thunders a salvo of joy at the
departing crowd, but a sigh on that
anniversary day scatters the scene. Un
der the deep-fetched breath the altar,
the flowers, the congratulating groups
are scattered, and there is nothing left
but a trembling hand holding a faded
rosebud, which is put into the paper
and then into the box, and the box care
fully placed in the bureau, and with a
sharp, sudden click of the lock the scene
is over.
Ah, my friends, let not the prophecies
of the flowers on your wedding clay be
false prophecies. Be blind to each oth
er's faults. Make the most of each oth
er's excellencies. Remember the vows,
the ring on the third finger of the left
hand, and the benediction of the calla
lilies,
If you ask me the question: "Whnt
are flowers good for?" I answer, they
are good to honor and comfort the ob
sequies. The worst gash ever made into
the side of our poor earth is the gash
of the grave. It Is so deep, It is so
cruel, It is so incurable, that it needs
something to cover It up. Flowers for
the casket, flowers for f the hearse,
flowers for the cemetery.'-. What a con
trast between a grave in 'a eountry
churchyard, with the fence broken
down and the tombstone aslant and the
neighboring cattle browsing amid the
mullein stalks and the Canada thistles,
and a June morning in Greenwood, the
wave of roseate bloom rolling to the
top of the mounds and then breaking
into foaming crests of white flowers nil
around the pillows of dust. It is the
difference between sleeping under rags
and under an embroidered blanket. We
wunt old Mortality with his chisel to go
through nil the graveyards In Christen
dom, und while he carries a chisel in
one hand we want old Mortality to have
sonie flower, seed in the pulin of the
otlicr hand.
"Oh," you say, "the dead don't know;
it makes no difference to them." I
think you are mistaken. There nre not
so many steamers and trains coming o
nny living city its there are convots
coming1 from Heaven to 'earth, and if
there be instantaneous and constant
communication between this world and
the better world, do you not suppose
your departed friends know what y0u
do with their bodies?, Why has Gc-d
planted golden-rod and wild flowers jn
the forest and on the prairie, where no
human eye ever sees them? He planted
them there for invisible intelligences
to look at and admire, and when in
visible intelligences, come to look at
the wild flowers of the woods and the
table lands, will they not make excur
sion and see the flowers which you
have planted in affection and remem
brance of them? j, , , ; ,
, When I am dead I would like to have
a handful of violets anyone could
pluck them out of the grass, or some
one could lift from the edge of the pond
a water lily nothing rarely expensive,
no insane display, as sometimes at fu
neral rites, where the display takes the
bread from the children's mouths and
the clothes from their bucks, but some
thing from the great democracy of
flowers. Rather thnn imperial cata
falque of Russian czar, I ask some one
whom I may have helped by a Gospel
sermon or Christian deed to bring a
sprig of arbutus or a handful of China
asters. .,.'..,
It was left for modern times to spell
respect for the departed and comfort
for the living in letters of floral gos
pel. Billow of flowers, meaning rest
for the pilgrim who has got to the end
of his journey. Anchor of flowers, sug
gesting the Christian hope which vse
must hnve as an anchor of the soul, sure
and steadfast. Cross of flowers, sug
gesting the tree on which our sins were
slain. If I had my way, I would cover
up all the drenmless sleepers, whether
in golden-handled casket or pine box,
whether a king's mausoleum or pot
ter's field, with radiant or aromatic ar
borescence. The Bible says: "In the
midst of the garden there was a sepul
cher." , I wish that. every sepulcher
might be jn the midst of a garden.
Ifyou asked me the question: "What
nre flowers good for?" I answer: "For
religious symbolism." Have you ever
studied Scripturol flora? The Bible is
an arboretum, it is a Divine conserva
tory, it is a herbarium of exquisite
beauty. It you want to illustrate the
brevity of the brightest human life you
will quote from Job: "Map cometh
forth ns a flower and is cut down." Or
you will quote from the psnlmist: "As
the flower of the field, so he perlsheth;
the wind phsseth over it, and it is gone."
Or you will quote from Isaiah: : "All
flesh is grass, and the godliness thereof
is ns the flower of the field." Or you
will quote f rorn James the apostle: "As
the flower of the grass, so he posset h
awny." ' What graphic Bible sym
bolism! All the cut flowers will soon be dead,
whatever care you take of them.
Though morning and night you baptize
them in the name of the shower, the
baptism will not be to them a saving
ordinance. Thev have been fatally
f wounded with the knife that cut them.
They are bleeding their life away; they
are dying now. The frugroncc in the
air is their departing and ascending
spirits. pl(, yes! FlowerB are almost
human. Botanists tell us that flowers
breathe, they take nourishment, they
eat, they drink. They are sensitive,
They hnve their likes and dislikes. They
sleep, tl)ey wake., They live In families.
They have their ancestors and their de
scendants, their birth, their burial,
their cradle, their grave. The tephyr
rocks the one and the storm digs the
trench for the cither. The cowslip must
leave 'its gold, rtie lily must leave its
silver, the rose must leave its diamond
necklace of morning dew. Dust . to
dust. S6 we come up, so we prosper, wo
spread abroad, we die, as the flower
as the flower!

O Thou who changest not, abide with me!

But, my friends, flowers have, ,11a
grander use than when on Knster morn
ing we celebrate the reanimatlon pf
Christ from the catacombs. The flowers
spell resurrection. "There Is not a nook
or corner in all the building but Is
touched with the incense. ' The women
carried spices to the tomb of ClirLt,
and they dropped spices, all around
about the tomb, and from these spices
hive grown all the flowers of Easter
morn. The two white-robed angels
that hurled the stone away from the
door of the tomb hurled it with such
violence down the hill that it crushed
in the door of the world's sepulcher, and
millions of dead shall come forth.
However labyrinthine the mausoleum,
however costly the sarcophngus, how
ever architecturally grand the necrop
olis, however beautifully parterred the
family gounds, we wnnt Them all
broken up by the Lord of ihe resurrec
tion. The forms that we laid away
with our broken hearts must rise again.
Father and mother, they must come
out. Husband and wife, they must come
out. Brothers and sisters, they must
come out. Our darling children, they
must come out. The eyes that with
trembling fingers we closed must open
In the luster of resurrection morn.
The arms that we folded in death must
joins ours in embrace of reunion. The
beloved voice that was hushed must be
r?tuned. The beloved form must come
up without its infirmities, without its
futlgues. It must come up. Oh, how
long It seems to some of you! Waiting,
waiting for the resurrection. How
long, how long! I make for your broken
hearts to-day a cool, soft bandage of
lilies. I comfort you this day with the
thought of resurrection.
When Lord Nelson wns buried In St.
Taul's cathedral in London, the heart
of all England was stirred. The pro
cession passed on amid the sobbing of a
nation. There were 30 trumpeters sta
tioned at the door of the cathedral, wfth
Instruments of music in hand, waiting
for the' signal, and, when the Illustri
ousdeaclarrivedatthegates of St. Paul's
cathedral, these 30 trumpeters gave one
united blast, and then all was silent.
Vet the trumpets did not wake tfce
dead. He slept right on. But I have to
tell you, wli.it 30 trumpeters could not
do for one man, one trumpeter will do
for all rations. The ages have rolled
on, and the clock of the world's destiny
strikes 9, 10, 11, 12, and time shall be no
longer!
Behbld the archangel hovering! tit
takes 'the trumpet, points it this way,
puts Its lips to his lips end then blows
one long, loud, terrific, thunderous, re
verberating and resurrectionnry blaBt!
Look, look! They rise! Thedead the
dead! some coming forth from the fam
ily vault, some from the city cemetery,
some from the country graveyard.
Here a spirit is joined to its body, and
there another spirit is joined toanother
body, and millions of departed spirits
are assorting the bodies, and then re
clothing themselves in forms radiant
for ascension.
The earth begins to burn the bon
fire of a great victory. All ready row
for the procession of reconstructed hu
manity! Upward and away! Christ
leads, and all the Christian dead follow,
battalion after battalion, nation after
nation. Up, up! On, on! Forward, ye
ranks of God Almighty! Lift up your
headB, ye everlasting gates and let the
conquerors come in! Resurrection!
Resurrection!
And so I twist all the festal flowers of
the chapels aid cathedrals of all Chris
tendom into one great chain, and with
that chain I bind the Easter morning
of 1899 with the closing Easter of the
world's history resurrection! May
the God of peace that brought again
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great Shepherd of the sheep, through,
the blood of the covenant, make you
perfect in every good work to do His
will. .

Prof. William H. Pickering, of Cam

ellite of Saturn, which he has just dis
covered and identified, says the sphere
is 3 times as distant from Saturn as
is the satellite Iapetus, the outermost
eatellite- of the planet hitherto known.
Its period is about 17 months, and its
magnitude 15',.
The discovery was made by Prof.
Pickering in his examination of four
photographic plates recently received
from the Howard astronomical obser
vatory at Arequlpa, Peru, which were
made with the famous Bruce photo
graphic telescope. The satellite ap
pears on each of the four plates and is
positively identified as a new one.'
The last previous discovery among
the satellites of Saturn was made hnlf
