Be0oteave, March 25, 189e—The Easter i•e,rvices in the Tabernacle to -day wore I•tteaderl by inimenee audiences, Beautiful floral decorations almost hid the pulpit from view, aud the great organ gave forth its most rapturous strains in honor of the day - La the forenoon Rev. Dr. Telinage delivered en eloquent isermou on, " Easter in Green- wood," the, texe laeing taken from Genesis : 17, 18—" Awl the field of Hebron, elicit,. was irt MacImelale, which was before &luaus, the field, and the cave whieh wae therein, and all the trees that were in the thae were in all the borders round about, were made sue unto Abraham. Here is the first cemetery easier laid out. Machpeleh was its name. It was an ar- borescent beauty, where the wound a death was bandaged with foliage. Abraham, a rich man, not being able to bribe the Kipg of Terrors,proposes here, as far as possible, to cover up the eavagese He had, no doubt, previously noticed this region, and now that Sarah, his wife, had died—that re- inerkable person who, at the age of ninety years of age, had bora to her the son Isaac, and who now, after she had reached her one hundred and twenty-seven years, had ex- pired—Abraham is negotiating for a family plot for her last slumber. Ephron owned this real estate and after, in mock sym- pathy for Abraham, refusing to take any- thing for it, now sticks on a big price—four hundred shekels of silver. The cemetery lot is paid for, and the traesfer made'in the ,presence of witnesses in a Titbit° place, for there were no deeds and no halls of re- cord in those early times. Then in a cav- ern of hmestone rock Abraham put Sarah, and a few years after, himself followed, and then Isaac and Rebekah, and then Jacob and Leah. Embowered, picturesque and memorable Machpelah 1 That "God's Acre" dedicated by Abraham has been the mother of innumerable mortuary observ- ances. The necropolis of every civilized land has vied with its netropolis. The most beautiful hills of Europe out- side the great cities are covered with obelisk and funeral vase and arched gateways and colunins and parterres in honor of the in- humated. The Appian Way of Rome was bordered by sepulchral commemorations. For this purpose Pisa has its arcades of marble sculptured into excellent bas reliefs, and the features of dear faces that have vanished. Genoa has its terraces cut into tombs; and Constantinople covers with cypress the silent habita.tions ; and Paris has its Pere la Chaise, on whose heights rest Balzac and David and Marshal Ney and Cuvier and La Place and Moliere, and a mighty group of warriors and poets and painters and musicians. In all foreign na. tions 'utmost genius on all sides- is expended in •the work of interment, enunamification and incineration. Our own country consents to be eecond to none in respect to the lifeless body. Every city and town and neighborhood of any intelligence or virtue has, not many miles away, its sacred enclosure, where affection has engaged the, sculptor's chisel and florist's spade and artificer in metals. Our ow -hefty has shown its reliaion as well as its art in the manner in whil it holds the memory of those who have passed for- ever away by its Cypress Hills, and its Evergreens, and its Calvary, and Holy Cross and Friendscemeteries. All the world knows of our Greenwood, with now about two hundred and . seventy thousand inhabitants sleeping among the _hills that overlook the sea, snd by lakes ernbosomed in an Eden of flowers. our American West- minster Abbey, an Acropolis of mortuary architecture, a Pantheon of mighty ones ascended, elegies in stone, Blade in marble, whole generations in ace waiting for other generations to join them. No dormi- tory of breathless sleepers in all the world has so many mighty dead. Among the preachers of the gospel, Be. thune and Thomas De Witt and Bishop Janes and Tyng, and Abeel, the mission- ary, and Beecher and Buddington, and McClintock and Diskip, and Bangs and Chapin, and -Noah Schenck and Samuel Hanson Cox. Among musicians, the re- nowned Gottschalk and the holy Thomas Hastings. Atnong philanthropists, Peter Cooper and Isaac T. Hopper, and Lucretia Mott and Isabella Graham, and Henry Bergh, the apostle cif mercy to the brute creation. Among the literati, the Carys, Alice and Phoebe; James K. Paulding and John G. Saxe. Among journalists, Bennett and Raymond and Greeley. Among scien- tists; Ormsby Mitchell, warrior as well as astronomer, and lovingly called by his sol- diers "Old Stars." Professor Proctor and the Drapers, splendid men, as I well know lane of them my teacher, the other my class- mate. Among inventors, Elias Howe, • who through the sewing machine, did more to alleviate the toils of womanhood than any man that ever lived, and Professor Morse, who gave us magnetic telegraphy ; the former doing his work with the needle, the latter with the thunderbolt. Among physie clans and surgeons, Joseph O. Hutchinson, encl Marion Sims, and Dee Valentine Mott, with the following epitaph, which he ordered out in honor of Christian religion, "My implicit faith and hope is in a merci- ful Redeemer, who is the resurrection . and the life. Amen and Amen." This is our American Machpelah, as 'oared to us as the Meclipelah in Canaan, of which Jacob uttered that pastoral poem in one verse, There they buried .A.brabam, and Sarah, his wife; there they buried Isaac, and Rebekah, hie wife, there I buried Leah." • At this Easter service I ask and anewer what may seem a novel question, but it will be found, before I get through, a pre°. tical and useful and tremendous question: What will resurreetion day do for the cem- eteries? First, I remark, it will be their supernal beautificaeiou, At certain seasons it is customary in all lands to strew flowers over the mounds of the departed. It reto$ have been suggested by the fact that Christ's tomb wets in a garden. Atid when I say garden I do not mean a garden of these lati- tudes, The late froets of spring and the early frosts of autumn are so near each TgE WICETER TINES Well, I will tell yole bow 'Resurrection Day will beautify the cemeteries. It will be by bringing tep the feces that were to tie once, ami in our memories are to go now, more beautiful thee any cella lily, end the tenets that are to na more graceful than any wUlow by the waters. Can you think of anything more beautiful than the reappearance of theee from whom we have been parted ? I do not.care which way the tree falls in the bleet of the Judgment hurrieene, or if the plowshare that day shell turn under the leeteroee leaf and the leet china aster, if but of the broken sod shall come the bodies aotfed. our loved ones not damaged, but irreell. The idea of the resurrection gets easier to underetenel as I hear the phonogr aph enroll some voice that talked into it is year ago, just before our friend's decease. You touch the lever, and then comes forth the very tones,the very song of the person that breathed into it once, but is now departed. If a man Min do that, cennot Almighty God, without trying, return the voice of your departed? And if he Call return the vice, why not the lips, wed the tongue and the tlemat that fashioned the voice? And if the lips and the tongue and the throat, why not the brain that suggested the words? And if the brain, why not. the nerves of which the brain is the headquarters ? And if he can tat= the nerves, why not the inueoles which are leas ingenious? And if the muscles why not the bones, that are less wonderful ? And if the voice and the brain and the muscle and the bone, why not the entire body? If man cam do the phonogragh, God can do the resurrection. Will it be the same body that in the last day shall be reanimated ? Yee, but luau - hely improved. Our bodies change every seven years, and yet in one Senee it is the same body. On my meat and the second -finger of my right hand there is a scar. L made that at twelve' years of ageewhen, disgusted at the presence of two warts, took a red-hot iron and burned them off and burned them ont. Since then my body has changed at least a half-a-dosen tunes, but those scars prove it is the same body; We never lose our identity. If God ca,n and does sometimes rebuild a man five, six, ten times, in this world, is it mysterious that He can rebuild him once more, and that in the resurrection? If He can do it ten times, I think He can do it eleven times. Then, look at the seventeen year locusts. For oventeen years gone ; at the end of seventeen years they appear, and by rubbing the hind leg against the wiug make that rattleIt, which all the husbandmen and vine dressers tremble as the insectile host takes up the march of "devastation-. Resurrection every seventeen years, a won- elerful fact i Another consideration makes the idea of resurrection easier. God made Adam. He was n,ot fashioned after any model. There had never been is human organism, and so there was nothing to copy. At the first attempt God made a perfect man. He made hien nut of the dust of the earth. If out of ordinary dust of the earth, and without a model, God could make a perfeet man, surely out of the extraordinary dust of mortal body, and with millions of models, God can make each one of us a perfect being in the resurrection. Surely the last un ler- taking would not be greater than the first. See the Gospel algebra; ordinary dust minus a model equals a perfeot man ; ex- traordinary dust and plus a model equals a resurrection body. lvlysteries about it? Oh, yes ; but that is one reason why I be- lieve it. It would not be much of a God who could do things only as far as I can understand. Mysteries? Oh, yes ; but no more about the resurrection of your body than about its present existence. - I will explain to you the last mystery of the resurrection, and make it as plain to you as that two and two make four, if you will tell me how your mind, which is en- tirely independent of your body, can act upon your body so that at your will your eyes open, or your toot walks, or your hand is extended. So I find nothing in the Bible statement concerning the resurrection that staggers me for a moment. All doubts clear from my mind. I say that the ceme- teries, however beautiful now, willbe more beautiful when the bodies of our loved ones come up in the morning of the resur- rection. They will come in improved condition. They will come up rested. The most of them lay down at the last very tired. How often you have heard them say, "1 am so tired 1' The fact is, it is a tired world. If I should go through this audience, and go round the world,.I could not find a person in any style of life ignorant of the sensation of fatigue. I do not believe there are fifty persons in this audience who are not tired. Yonr head is tired, or your back is tired, or your foot is tired, or your brain is tired, or your nerves are tired. Long j ourneyings, or business application, or bereavement, or sickness has put on you heavy weight. So the vast majority of those who went out of this werld 'went out fatigued. About the poorest place to rest in is this world. Its atmosphere, its sur- roundings, and even its hilarities are exhausting. So God stops our earthly life, and mercifully closes the eyes, and more especially gives quiescence to the lung and heart, that have not had ten minutes' rest from the first respiration and the first beat: If a drummer boy was compelled in the army to beat his drum for twenty-four hours withoet stopping, his °facer would be courtmartia.led for cruelty. If the drummer boy should be command.ecl to beat bit drum for a week without ceasing, day and night, he would. die in attempting it. But -ender your vestment is a peon heart that began its drum beat for the march of life thirty, or forty, or sixty, or eighty years ago, and it has had no furlough by day or tight ;and whether in conscious or comatose state, it event right on, for if it had stopped oven secon ds your life would have closed. And your heart well keep going entil some time after yotir spirit has flown for the auscultetor Says that after the fast respiration of bang and the last throb of pdlee, and after the spirit is releas- ed, the heart keeps on beating for a time. What a mercy, then it is that the grave is the place where that wondrous nutohinery of ventricle and artery can hale . oder the healthful chemistry of,the „ • sod all the wear and tear of nerve and muscle and 'bone will be sebtracted and that bath of good, fresh, clean tied will wash off the last ache, and then some of the same style of clust out of which the body of Adam was constructed may be he other that there aro only a few months of fused into tlieresurrection body. How can flo were in the field. All the fiewers we see the bodies of the human race, Which have emday had to be petted encl coaxed and put under shelter; or they would not have bloomed alt all.

You put in groans and they come out hallelujahs. For us, on the Anal day, the most attractive places will not be the parks or the gardens or the palaces, but the cemeteries. We are not told in what season that day will come. If it should be winter, those who Qom° up will be more lustrous 'than the snow that covered them. If in the aut- umn, thcose who come up will be more gore geous than the woods after the frosts had penciled them. If in the wing, the bloom on which they tread will be dull eornpared with the rubicund of their cheeks. Oh, the perfect resurrection body 1 Almost everybody has some defective spot on his physieal constitution • a dull ear, or a dim eye, or a rheumatic loot, or a neuralgia brow,or a twisted muscle, or a weak side, i or an nflamed tonsil, or some point at which the meet wind or et season of overwork assaults him. But the resurrection body shall be without one weak spot, and all that the dootors end nurses and apothecar- ies of earth will thereafter have to do will be to rest without interruption after the broken nights of their earehly existence., Noti only will that day be the beautification of well -kept cemeteries, but IMMO of the graveyards that have been negleoted, and beet the pasture ground for cattle and rot- ting places for swine, will for the first time have attractiveness given them. It was a shame that in that place un- grateful generatious planted no trees, and twisted ilo garlands, and sculptured no marble for their Christian ancestry; but on the day of which I speak the resurrected shall make the place of their feet glorious: From under the shadow of the church, where they slumbered among nettles, and mullein stalks and thistles, and slabs aslant, they shall rise with a glory that shall flush the windows of the village church, and by the bell tower that used te call them to worship, and above all the old -spire beside which their prayers formerly ascended. What triumphal procession never did for a street, what an oratorio never did for an academy, what an orator never did for is brilliant auditory, what obelisk never did for e. king, resurrection will do for all the cemeteries, This Easter tells us that in Christ's re- surrection our resurrection, if we are hie, and the resurrection of all the pious dead, is assured, for He was the first fruits of them that slept." Renan says He did not rise ; but five hundred and eighty witnesses, sixty of them Christ's enemies, say He did rise, for they saw Him after had arisen. If He did not risieee how did sixty armed soldiers let Him get away? Surely sixty living soldiers ought to be able to keep one dead man! Blessed be God He did get away. After His resurrection Mary M age delene ow Him. Cleopas sa:v Him. Ten dirciples in an upper room at Jerusalem saw Him. On a mountain the eleven saw Him. Five hundred at once saw Him Professor Ernest Renan, eyho did not see Him, will excuse us foe -faking the testi- mony of the five hundred and eighty who did see Him. Yes, yes: He got away. And that makes mtsure that our departed loved ones and we Ourselves shall get away. Freed Himself 'from the' shackles of clod, He is not going to leave us and ours in the lurch. There will be no door knob on the inside of our family sepulchre, for we cannot come out of ourselves; but there is a door knob onthe outside, and that Jesus shall lay hold of, and, opening,, will say, "Good mornine ! You bave slept long enough 1 Arise ! -Arise 1" And then what flutter of wings, and what flashing of rekindled eyes, and what gladsome rushing across the family lot, with cries of, "Father, is that you?!'"Mother, is that you?"

OnignuAr. srettrgfdiffm ,Betveren the memorable eight of the wrestling and the full development of the "discord" which we study to -day, Jaeob's life had been eventful, The drepeled meet- ing with hie brother Esau proved, after all, te be the beginuing of friendlier relations laetween them. Jacob moved :Iowa the Jabbolc, Stopped for a time at Succoth, on the east .of the Jordap, them after is little, crossed the Jordan, and moved into the valley of Samaria, perfieps the most beautie ful and fertile spot in all ()enema. Here he` Ging a well and make preparations for a permanent home; but the misconduct of Ins daughter, Dinah, and the cruelty of his sons, Simeon and Levi, made another re- inoval necessary, and we next find Jacob and his family at Bethel. At Ephratlenear Bethlehem, his beloved wife, Rachel, died, and Was buried. Then,after thirty years of wandering, Jacob returned to the home of his fathers, at Hebron. Isaac was still alive,. but Rebecca, jaeobes mother, was dead. During hie thirty years cif wander- ing Jacob had gtown rich in goods and rich in painful experience. Of all the treasures brought with him back to the home of his fathers, none was so valued as Joseph and Benjamin, the two children of the woman he loved. Verse 1. Jacob dwelt in woe land wherein his father was a stranger. WithallofJacob's faults, he never lacked faith in God. Hav- ing now become, undisputedly, heir t� the promises made to Abraham and Isaac, he sought to do whab Js could toward keeping those promises, and so he established him- self as a permanent resident where his father and grandfather had beeti only tem- porary sojourners. . 2. The generations ofjacob. Better, "the family history ot Jacob," who now, for the first time in the record, appears as the head centreof the ohosenrace. Joseph, being seven- teenyears old, He was born in Padan-aram. Ile was Jacob's youngestson, except Nenj am. imwhohadas yethardlyoutgrown babyhood. Although younger than all the rest of his brethren, he we's evidently, inJacob's eyes, legitimately the "firstborn," for he was the firstborn ofRachel, Jacob's ohosen wife, and every preference which the elder brothers might have had would have resulted from a contemptible trick of Laban. Theprime rea- son for Jacob's especial love for Joseph is given in the next verse, but there were not lacking many others, and doubt- less among them was his superiority of character. Feeding the flock. While the ancestral home was continued at Hebron, the sons of the patriarch were sent throughout Palestine to find good pastur- age for the flocks and herds,_ which con- stituted the family wealth. With the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah. These women were waiting maids, personal servant s of Leah and Rachel, eespectively, Jacob's wives. They came, probably, of those handsome and lawless Syrian races which have done so much to keep "Bible lands" in turbulence throughout All his- tory. They had becomeJacob's concubines, or secondary wives,according to the custom always prevalent in the Basta There -was no chance for them to cherish any rivalry for the birthright. Their evil report "Evil report concerning them." There are many evidences that :lathe elder- sons lived recklessly and scandalously. How far Joseph was a telltale, and' how far he. was simply obeying the law of honor, we ca.n only conjecture on the basis of his admirable later years. 3. Israel . . Joseph . . . a* coat of many colors. If this was a meta evidence of parental partiality, it was not only a moral wrong, but it was a monumental blunder. It his been conjectured,' however, that it was the formal publication that Jcie seph was to inherit the birthright, wheel would go far to eXplein the hatred of his brethern. We should read, instead of a coat of many comers, ea long garment with sleeves ; ' but there is no reason for setting aside the older notion that it was variegated in color and pattern, either by he loom or the needle. 4. They hated him. There were as many causes for his brothers' hate as for his father's love. They were jealous of Jacob's love to him ; they were envious of his pre- ferment to the birthright; they Were mad- dened by his moral superiority, which was a constant rebuke to him. Could not speak peaceably unto him. Better, "could not say Peace ' [which is about as our Good morning'] unto hid." 5. He told it. There is nothing in this simple narrative to indicate that Joseph was to blame for telling hie dreams to his brethren and to his father, and yet the whole story is a lesson on the importance of holding one's tongue.

Shalt thou indeed reign over us? Hie brothers understood the dream at once. 9. The sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance. This second dream. would very likely carry the genie lesaon as the first, under another figure. 10. Told it to his father. The other dream concerned only his brothers, and he told it to them ; but this dream concerned les father. His father rebuked him. It is not impossible that Jacob himself was irritated by this dream, and, no doubt, he sought to pacify the brothers, whose teal - :my had been aroused by his pertiality. and thy mother. Rachel was dead, and it is probable that tiles may have been the force of Jacob's remark. Surely, it was but aai idle 'dream when his dead mother was thus brought in. One of the ocond- ary wives, however, may have been living, and have been regarded as the mother of the household. 'Elis brethren envied . . . his father observed. They were both affected in the outset in the time way by the strange dreams. but the love of the one and the hatred of the other ohanged thole feelings reepectively into the watch -care of love and the detective inspection of is hateful heart.
