The Huron Expositor, 1892-04-29, Page 22 THE HURON EXPOSITOR. DEATH AN ADVANTAGE. THE ANNUAL. EASTER SERMON AT THE BROOKLYN TABERNACLE. Re'. Dr. Talmage Preaches From the Text: "Surely the Eitterness of Death is Past"—A Grand and 'Mighty' Mercy is the Divine Permission to ettit the Earth, BROOKLYN. N.Y., April 17. ---Being Eas- ter morning, the Brooklyn Tabernacle con- gregation bad been invited to bring flowers the night before, and a ;milk of them was on the front of the pulpit and wreaths of them over the pnipit. The word "Resur- rection" was spelled out in letters of white lilies. Especial music was added to the congregational shirring. Text, L Samuel, 15:32: "Surely the'e bitterness of death is past," So cried Agag, ancl the only objection I have to this text is that a bad man uttered it. Nevertheless, it is true, in a higher and better sense than that, in which it was originally uttered. Years ago a legend something like this was told me: In a hut lived a very poor woman by the name of Misery. In front of her door was, a pear tree, which, was her only resource for a living. Christ, the Lord, in poor garb, was walking through the earth and no one would entertain Him. In vain Ile knocked at the doors of palaces and of humble dwellings. Cold and hungry and. insuffici- ently clad as He was, none received - Him. But coming one day to the hut of this wo- man, whose name was Misery, she received Him, and offered Him a few crusts and ask- ed Him to warm Himself at the handtul of coals, and she at up all night that the wayfarer might have a. pillow to rest on. In the morning this Divine Being asked her as He departed what she would have Him do in the way of reward, and told her that He owned the universe and would give her what she asked. All she asked was that her pear tree might be pro- tected, and that the boys 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 the tree were compelled. to stay there. After while Death came along and . told the poor woman she must go with him. But she did not want to go, for, however poor one's lot is, no one wants to go with Death. Then she said to Death: "I will go witt& you if you -will first climb up into my pear tree and bring me down a few pears before I stern" This he consented to do, but having climbed into the tree, he could not again ceine down. Then the troubles of the world began, for Death did not come. The physicians had no patients, the under- takers no business, lawyers no wills to raake, the people who waited for inherit- ances could not get them, the oia men staid in all the professions and occupations, so that there was nO room for the young who were coming on, and the earth got over- crowded, and from all the earth the cry went up "Oh, for Death! Where is • Death?' Then the people came to the poor woman and begged her to let death descend from the tree. In sympathy for the world she consented to let Death come down on one condition, and that was that he should never molest or take her away, and on that condition Death was allowed to comedown, and he kept his word and never removed her, and for that reason we always have Misery with us. In that allegory someone has set forth the truth that I mean to present on this Easter morning, which celebrates the re- surrection of Christ and our coming resur- rection—that one of the grandest and mightiest mercies of the earth is our divine permissien to quit it. Sixty-four persons every minute step off this planet. Thirty million people every year board this planet. As a steamer must unload before it takes another cargo, and as the passengers of a rail -train must leave it in order to have another company of passengers enter it, so with this world. What would happen to an ocean steamer if a man, taking a state- room, should stay there forever? What would happen to a rail -train if one who purchases a ticket should always oceupy the seat assigned Lim? And what would happen to this world if all who came into it never departed from it? The grave is as much a benediction as the cradle. What sunk that ship in the Black Sea a tew days ago? Too many passengers. What was the matter with that steamer on the Thames, which a few years ago went down with 600 lives? Too many passengers. Now, this world is may a ship, which was launched some six thousand years ago. k is sailing at the rate of many thousand miles an hour. It is freighted with mountains and cities, and has in its staterooms and steerage about sixteen hundred million pas- sengers. So many are coming aboard, it is necessary that a good many disembark. Suppose all the people that have lived since the days of Adam and Eve were still alive, what a cluttered. up place this world would be—no elbow room—no place to walk—no privacy—nothing to eat or wear, or it any- thing were left, the human race would, like a shipwrecked crew, have to be put on small rations, each of us having perhaps only -ri; buscuit a day. And what chance would there be for the rising generations? The men and women who started when the world started _would keep the modern people back and down, saying • "We are six thousand years old. Bow down. His- tory is nothing, for we are older than his- tory." What a mercy for the human race was death. Within 9. few years you can get from this world all there is in it. After you have had fifty or sixty or seventy spring -times you have seen enough blos- soms. After fifty or sixty or severity au- tumns you have. seen enough of georgeous foliage. After fifty or sixty or seventy winters, you have seen enough snow storms and felt enough chills and wrapped yourself in enough blankets. In the ordinary length of human Iife you have carried enough burdens, and shed enough tears, and suffer- ed enough injustices, and felt enough pangs, and been clouded by enough doubts, and surrounded by enough mysteries. We talk about the shortness of life, but if we exer- cised good sense we would realize that life is quite long enough. If we are the child- ren of God, we are at a banquet, and this world is only the first course of the food, and we ought to be glad th,at there are other and better and richer courses of food to be handed on. We are here in one room et our Father's house, but there are rooms upstairs. They are better pietured, better upholstered, better furnished. Why do we want to stay in the anteroom forever, when there are palatial apartments waiting for our occupancy? What a mercy that there is a limitation to earthly environments! Death also makes room for improved physical machinery. Our bodies have wondrous powers, but they are very limited. There are beasts that can outrun us, outlift us, out -carry us. The birds have both the earth and air for travel, yet we must stick to the one. In this world, which the human race takes for its; own, there are creatures of God, that can far surpass as in some things. Death re- moves this slower and less adroit machin- ery and makes room for something better. Then! eyes, that can see half a mile, will be removed for those that can see from world to world. These ears, which can hear a sound a few feet off, will be removed for ears that can hear from zone to zone. These feet will be removed for powers of locomo- tion swifter than the reindeer's hoof, or eagle plume, or lightning's flash. Then, we have only five ammo, and to these we are shut up. Why only five senses? Why not fifty, why not one hundred, why not llthoneand ? We can have. and we will nave ;nem, Out not unlit this present physical machinery is put_ out of the way. Do nbt think that this body is the best that God can do for us. God did not half try when he contrived your bodily mechan- ism. Mind you, I believe with all anato- mists and all physiologista and with all scients and with the Psalmist that "we are tearfully and wonderfully- made." But, I believe I know that God can and will get no better physical equipment. Is it possible for man to make improvement in almost anything and God not able to make improvements in man's physical machinery?, Shall canal boats give away to limited express trains? Shall slow letter give place to telegraphy, that places San Francisco and New York within a minute of communication.? Shall a telephone take the sound of a voice sixtymiles and instantly bring back another voice, and God, who made man, who does these things, not be able to iinprove the man himself with infinite velocities and in- finite multiplication? Beneficient death comes in and makes necessary re- moval to - make way for these supernatural improvements. So also our slow process of getting information must have a substitute. Through prolonged study we learned the alphabet, and then we learned to spell, and then we learned to read. Then the book is put before us, and the eye travels from word to word and from page to page, and we take whole days to read the book, and, if from that book of four or five hundred pages, we have gained one or two profitable ideas, we feel we have done well. There must be some swifter way and more satisfactory way' of taking in God's universe of thoughts 'and facts and emotions and information. But this cannot be done with your brain in its present state. Many a brain gives way under the present facility. This whitish Inas' in the upper cavity of the scull, and at the extremity of the nervous system— this center of perception and sensation can- not endure more than it now endures. But God can make a better brain, and he sends Death to remove this inferior brain that he may put in a superior brain. "Well," you say, "does not that destroy the idea of a resurrection of the present body?" Oh, no. It will be the old factory with new machin- ery, new driving wheel, new bands, new levers and new powers. Don't you see? So I suppose the dullest human brain after the resurrectionary process will have more knowledge, more acuteness, more brillian- cy, more breadth of swing than any Sir William Hamilton or Herschel or Isaac Newton or Faraday or Agassiz ever held in the mortal state, or all their intellectual. powers combined. You ease God has just only begun to build. you. The palace of your nature has only the foundation laid, and psrt of the lower story, and only part of one window, but the great architect has made his draft 'at what you will be when the Alhambra is completed. John was right when he said: "It doth not yet ap- pear what we shall be." Blessed be Death! for it removes all hindrances. And who has not all his life run against hindrances ?1 We cannot go far up or far down. If we go up far we get dizzy, and if we go farif down we get suffocated. If men would gd high up they ascend the Matterhorn or Mont Blanc or Himalaya, but whit disas- ters have been reported as they came tum- bling down. Or, if they went down too far, hark to the expl sion of the fire damps, and see the disfigure bodies of the poor miners at the bottom of the coal shaft. Then there are th climatological hind- rances. We run ainst nnpropitiows weather of all sorts. Winter blizzard and summer scorch, and each season seerna to hatch a brood of its own disorders. The summer spreads its ings and hatches out fevers and sun-strok , and spring and au- tumn spread their wings and hatch out malarias, and winter spreads its wings and hatches out pne monies and Russian grippes, and the cli a ate of this world is a hindrance which every man and woman and child has felt. Ieath is to the good transference to supe ior weather ; weather never fickle, and nev r too cold and never too hot and never to light and never too 4:lark. Have you an doubt that God can make better weather than is characteristic of this planet? Bles d is death! for it pre- pares the way for c ange of zones, yea it clears the path to a s mi-ornnipresence. How often we want to be in different places _at the same time. Ho perplexed we get be- ing compelled to c oose between invita- tions, between weddings, between friendly groupe, between three or four places we would like to be in the same morning or the same noon or the same evening. While death may not open opportunity to be in many places at the same tune, so easy and so quick and so instantaneous will be the transference that it will amount to about the same thing. Quicker than I can speak this sentence yoa will be among your glorified kindred, among the martyrs, among the Apostles, in the gate, on the battlemente, at the temple, and now from world to world as soon as a robin hops from one tree branch to another tree branch. Distance no hin- drance. Immensity eseily compassed. Semi -omnipresence ! "Bet," says some one, "I cannot see h w God is going to re- construct my body in the Resurrection." Oh, that will be ver easy oompared with what He his alread done with your body four or six or ten ti es. All scientists tell us that the huma body changes entirely once in seven years, o that if you are twen- ty-eight years of a e you have now your fourth bOdy. If yo are forty-two years of age youhave had ix bodies. If you are seventy years of age you have had ten bodies. Do yoa non] my unbelieving friend, think if God could build for you four or five or ten bodies he could readily build for you one more to he cello the resurrection body. Aye! to make that resurrection body will not require half as much ingenuity and power is those other bodies you have had. Is it riot easier fo a sculptor to make a statue out of silent clay than it would be to make a statue ou of some material that is alive and movi g, and running hither and thither? Will t not be easier for God to make the resurrc tion body out of the silent dust of the rumbled body than it was to make your b dy over five or six or eight time while it was in motion, walk- ing, climbing, fallin or rising? God has already on your four or five bodies be- stowed ten times • more omnipotence than he will put upon the resurrection body. Yea, we have the foundation for the resur- rection bode in us now. Surgeons and physiologists say there are parts of the heman body the uses of which they cannct, understand. They are searehing what these parts were made for, but have not found out. I can tell them. They are the pre- liminaries of the resurrection body. Gott does not make anything for nothing. Tho uses of those now surplus parts of the body will be demonstrated when the glori- fied form is constructed. If what I have been saying is true, we should trust the Lord and be thrilled with the fact that our own day of escape cometh. If our lives were going to end when our heart ceased to pulsate and our lungs to breathe, I would want, to take ten million years of life here for the first instalment. my Christian friends, we cannot afford always to stay down in the cellar of our Father's house. We cannot always be tuning our voilbas for the celestrial orches- tra. We must get our wings out. We must mount. We cannot afford always to stand out here in the vestibule of the house of many mansions, while the windows are illuminated with the levee angelic, and we can hear the laughter of those forever free, and the ground quake with the bounding feet of those who have entered upon eternal play. All these thoughts are suggested as we stand this Easter morn amid the broken rocks of the Saviour's tomb. Indeed I know tnat tomb nas not been rebuilt, for I stood in December of 1869 amid the ruins of that most famous sepulchre lchre of all time. There are thousands of] tombs in our Greenwood and Laurel Hill land Mount Auburn with more 'polished stone and more elaborate masonry and m re foliaged surroundings, but as f went do n the steps of the suppos- ed tomb of Christ on my return from Mount Calvary I said Co myself, "This is the tomb of all tombs. Ar und this stand more stu- pendous incident than around any grave of all the world ince death entered it" I could not breat e easily for overmaster- ing emotion as I walked down the four crumbling steps till we came abreast of the niche in hich I think Christ was buried. 1 measered the sepulchre aed found it fourteenland a half feet long, eight feet high, nine f et wide. It is a family tomb and seems oTiave been built to hold five bodies. But I rejoice to say that the tomb was empty, and the door of the rock was gone, and he sunlight streamed in. The day that • hrist rose and came forth the sepulchre wa demolished forever, and no trowel of eart ly masonry can ever re- build it. And t e rupture of those rocks, and the snap of t at governmental seal, and the crash of th e walks of limestone, and the bstep of the acerated but triumphant foot of the risen esus we to -day celebrate with acclaim of worshipping thousands, while with all th nations of Christendom, and all the shi ing hosts of heaven we chant, "Now is hrist risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept." "Give "It is a good the other day, "How do you ri he said, "wheney much, or do anyt Le Thy Heart," thing," said a man to me "to have a bad heart." ean ?" I asked. "Well," r I get angry, or hurry to ing in excess, 'my sealed heart knocks at my ribs,' as Macbeth says. In less poetical language, my heart, which is not a strong one, gets a pain in it when exerted, and this pain warns me not to trifle with it. I take the hint, try to restrain temper, and to There is another been a good one once told me t any day,' just as i my poor heart were an undertaker. 'Well,' said I to myself, at this be so, I had better give my heart to God, get a new one; and allow my life to be, guided by the sweet reasonableness' of, Jesus Christ. This will save me from; heart -breaking excess, and make me con- tent either to live or die as God deter- mines.

This is a specie' of professional tyranny which should not be tolerated in a free country. The Ways and ifeans Committee of the Columbian Expo tion estimates the total expenses of the sbow at $22,000,000, an the rezeipts at $24,000,000. To get at th latter figures, 30,000,000 admissions at cents each are counted on, and $7,000,000 ie the amount looked for from concessions. It these figures sheuld be realized, there would have to be five times as many visitorS as there were at the last Paris Exposition, and the concessions would bring more than seventeen times ae much money.

Altogether Different. General Thotnas was greatly beloved among the primate soldiers. As Napoleon became the Little Corporal of his army, so was thie man affectionately remembered ss "Old Pap Thomas" by the Army of the Cumberland. Ile was always ready to do the "little kindneeses" which go .straight to the popular heart, and once, when he had refused a boon, was reproved in a way which decidedly amused him. A private soldier, who was very horra- sick, went to the headquarters to obtain leave of absence. The general asked hith why he wanted a furlough, and the poor fellow replied, in the most dejected manner: "General, haven't seen my wife for more than three months." "Why," said ,the officer, "that's not ing. I haven't seen my wife for over thre years." " Well," said the soldier, " that may b General, but me and my wife ain't the kind !"
