This serition of Dr. Talmage rings all the bells of gladness, especially appropriate at this season, when all Christendom is celebrating ('hrist'resurrection; text John xix, 41, "Inl the garden a new sepulcher." !

Don't you remember me? I worship- ped with you on Easter morning in 1900." . My text, introduces us into a gar- den. It is a manor .in. the suburbs of Jerusalem -owned by a wealthy gen- tleman by the name of Joseph. He belonged to the court- -of' seventy who had condemned •Chriet, but Who had voted in the negative,. or, being a timid man, had absented himseif when the vote was taken. At great -expense he laid out. the garden. It being a hot climate, 'I suppose there were trees broad branched, and their Were paths winding under these treats, and here and there waters. dripping down overthe rocks into -fish ponds, end there were vines and flowers blooming from the wall, and all around the beauties o kiosk and aboriculture. After the fatigues of the Jerusalem courtrf 0711, how re- freshing to come into ' his suburban .retreat, botanical and p mologicad. Wandering in the gar en, I behold some rocks whieh, have on them the marks of the: sculptor's chisel. I come . nearer, and I fin 1 there is a subterranean recess. I cc:Tme down the marble steps, and I come - to ta, po tico, oVer which there is an arch- itrt,ve, byl the chisel cut into repre- se tations of fruits- and flowers. I 'eniler the portico. On. either Side there are rooms -two or four or six rothets of ock. the . walls of these rooms ha ing niches, each niche large enough to hold a dead body. Here is one ro m that is especially weal- thy of see pture. - The fact is that Joseph : realizes he cannot always walk this garden, and he has provided this place for his last slumber. Oh, what a leeau- liful spot lin which to_ wait for the resurreetion! Mark well this tomb, for it: is o be ;the most celebrated tomb in a41 the ages. Cataconebs of_ Egypt, 'tomb of Napoleon, Mahal Taj of Ind a, nothing compared with it. Christ has just been murdered, and his body will be thrown to the dotes and -the ravens, 'like other cru-' cilied !sorties, unless there be prompt and efficient hindrance. Joseph, the owner of this mausoleum - in the eocks, begs for Ole ho.dy. of Christ. He Washes the poor, mutilated frame front the dust and bloed, shrouds it and perfumes it. I think that regularlethbalmment was omitted. When in olden time a body evas.to be embalmed, the priest, 'with some pretension of medical skill, would point out the place between the -ribs where the incision meet be made, and then the operator, hating made the incjsion,' ran lest he ! be slain for .a. e violation of the dead.. Then the other priests' would - come - with salt of niter - and cassia, and wine of palm tree. and Complete :the einhalennetre. But, I_ think , ish. ts cm- bulnintent pi the body of Christ was omitted., It *would have :raised an - ether contention and another riot. The ifuneral hastens 00.

The king of terrors retir- ing before the king of grace! The Lord is risen! Let earth and heaven keep Easter to -day! Hosanna! Some things strike ,iny observation while standing in this garden with a new sepulcher. And, first, post 'nor- teln honors in contraSt with ante -mortent ignominies. If they could have afforded Christ•such a costly se- pulcher, why could not they have giv- en him an earthly residence? : Will they give this piece of marble to a dead Christ lostea.d of a soft, pillar for the living Jesus? If they had ex- Pended half the value of that tomb to wake Christ comfortable, it would not • have been so sad. a, story. He asked lii.eacl; they gave him a stone. Christ, like most of the- World's benefactors-, e was appreciated better after he !wan dead. Westminster Ab - :bey and monumental Greenwood are the world's attempt to atone by hon- ors to the dead for wrongs to the living. Poet's corner in Weatminster Abbey attempts to pay for the suffer- ings of Grub street. ; Go through'atPoet's corner in Westminster Abbey. There is Han- del, the great .musician, from whose music you hear to -day; but while I look at his statue I cannot help but think of the discords with which his fellow musiciane tried to destroy. him.

' hon- ors cannot -atone for- ante mortem . . ignominies. Again; standing in this garden of the septilcher, I am impressed with the fact that floral and arborescent decorations are appropriate for the place of the dead. We are glad that among flowers cogi -sepulchral adorn- ments Christ spent the short time of his inhumation. - ' I cannot understand what I some- -times see in the newspapers where the obsequies are annoulnced and the !friends say in connection with it, I 'Send no flower's." Rather, if the ,t f means allow—I say if 'the means al- low—Strew the casket with flowers, the hearse with flowers, the grave with flowers. Put them on the brow --it will suggest coronation; in their hand—it will Mean victory. -Christ . was buried in a garden. Flowers mean resurrection. Death is. sad enough - anyhow. Let con- servatory and arboretum contribute to its:alleviation. The harebell will ring the victory; the passion ilow- er will express eymputhy; the clan- . dil will kineile its lamp and illumine the darkness. The cluster of asters will be the constellation., YOur little child loved.,flowers when she was liv- ing. Put them in her hand now that she can go forth no more and Pluck them for herself. On sunshiny days take a fresh garland and put -it over the still heart.. , 1 , Brooklyn has no grander glory than its Greenwood, nor Boston than its Auburn, nor Philadelphia than its Laurel Hill, nor Cincinnati than des Spring Grove, nor San Francisco than its I,one Mountain. But what shall we say to those country grave- yards, with the vines broken down and :the slab aslant and the mound caved in and the grass a pasture ground for the sexton's. cattle? In- deed, were your father and mother of so little worth that you cannot af- ford to take carp of. their ashes? Some day turn out. all hands and straighten the slab and bank up the mound and cut away the weeds and plant the shrubs and flowers. Some day you will want to lie down to your lust slumber. You caneot ex- pect' any respect for Your bones if you line:e no deference. for your an- cestry. Do you think these relics are of no importance? You -trill see of how much importance they are In the day W 4 -en the archangel takes out his trUhlpet. Turn all youn cemeter- ies into gardens. Again,. 81 anding in this garden of f• the new re'?pulcher, 1 ant mpressed Wi th the digates of privat and un- pretending obsequies. JosePh was mourner, sexton, liveryi man—had eeitire charge of every- thing. ()My four people at the bur- ial of the King of the Li nieerse! 011, let, this be consolatory to those who threueli large acmiainetince have but little demonstratliin . of grief at the graves of their 'wait! ones. L'ong- line of glittering equipage, two rows of silver handles, Casket of richest wood, palibeareee gthived and scarfed, are not .neeessary. lf there be six at the grave, Christ looks dow from heaven .and remembers that i two . ., . more than wereat his obsequies. Not recognizing this idea, how many, small' properties are scattered and widoWhood and orphanage go forth into cold charity! The depart- ed left a -small property, which would have been enough to keep the family together ntil they could take care of themsel ves, but the funera, expen- ses itbsor ed everything.

No one *i. as -ever more lovingly and tenderly ut away to sepulcher than . Christ ou Lord, but there were otp four peat le in the procession. Again, tanding in, this garden with a new •epulcher, I am impresssed with the fact that you cannot keep the dead iown, Seal 011 saahedrin, company of sol- diers fro n thee tower of Antonia, -floor of rjock, roof of rock, walls of rock, d or of rock, .canneet keep Christ inthe crypts. Come out. and come up he mut. Come Out and come up he did. Prefiguration. First fruits of them that slept. Just as certainly as we come down into the dust, just so certainly we will come up again. Though all the granite of the mountains, were piled on us we will rise. Though buried amid the corals of the deepest cavern of the Atlantic ocean; we will come to the surface. With these eyes we may not look into the face of the noonday sun, but we shall have stronger vision, because the tamest thing in the land to which we go will be brighter than the sun. We shall have bodies with the speed of the lightning. Our bodies improved, energized, swiften- ed, clarified—mortality, immortality. The door of the grave 'taken off its hinges and flung flat into- the dust. Oh, my brethren, death and the grave are not so much as they used to be; for while wandering in this garden with the new sepulcher I find that the vines and flowers of the gar- den have completely covered up the tomb. Instead of one garden there 1rIe four gardens, opening into each thee—garden of Eden, garden pf the orld's sepulcher, garden of the rth's regeneration, garden of heav- en. Four gardens. Bloom, 0 earth! Bloom, 0 heaven! Oh, rny friends, ',rake up to gladness on this Easter , afiorningl .This day, if I internyet it right, means joy—it means peace with heaven, and it means peace with all the world, . Oh, bring more flowers! Wreathe them around the brazen throat of the cannon; plantthem in the desert, that it may blossom like the rose; braid them into the mane of tho re- turned war charger. No more red , dahlias of .human blood. Give us ; white lilies of peace. Alt round the 1 earth strew Easter flowers. And ; soon the rough voyage of the church . militant will be ended, and elle will sail up the heavenly harbor, scarred with manyra conflict, but the flag of triuinph floating from her topgallants All heaven will come out to greet her into port, and with a long reverber- ating shout of welcome will say : "There she .comes up the bay, the glorious old ship Zion! After tem- pestuous voyage she drops anchor within. the veil." Hew coal Is made. Did you know that coal is made from plants? Not one child in a hundred knows that! The -gery heat it gives out is what the plant first took in. 'What is there more valuable than coal, that ,warre.s our houses so nice- ly andgives us such beautiful gas- light to sit beeon cold winter nights? All kinds of machinery are worked by it, from the factory to the engine. Even the oil that. we use in our lamps comes from coal and the, re- mains of plants. If e'ou were to take a Piece in your hands, you could see the impression of leaves like those you gather In the country lanes. Many have stems, too. They are very, very hard', and even have the marks where the roots grew! Many kinds of ferns and huge trees of the forest often make coal, for every coal mine has more or less of these; ,even the cones of the pine have been: found .in the coal. _ Peat is the beginning of a -bed' of !coal- before it grows hard. You know What a nicefire it makes. Coke, Which you. often see burning so brightly in the grate, is made by driving out all the oil and gases from the coal—the very gas that we burn. Tar often oozes out of the lumps of coal en a fire, .making little black bubbles, 'which burst. and burn. Par- affin oil is made from this very tar, benzoline, too. Aniline comes- from benzoline, which makes some of our most beautiful. dyes. Essences that ,are put in caliches you buy, and taste so good, comes rom tar. So you -see that from coiU we get nearly all our heat and BO t, •colors and pleas- ant' flavors., Isn't it useful, though? Pik otogrop ling' by Heat.

With the rise of Chris- tianity, however, the paschal egg took on an entirely pew aspect, typi- fying the risen Saviour, and the red tint given it wee commemoration - of His blood shed for sinnersen the . . cross. ti. is it teresUng, there:tote, to know that otir brilliantcrlinelon Easter egg is not popular me -rely !pee cause it is a pleasing bright colbr, but is, also,. a survival Of this an- -elent and significant practice. Pasch, Ilace and Paso, Weee (1d names for ewhat is now universe. I ' called the lEaster egg in all Betel sh speaking cpuntries. ..At Easterti le, in medieval times, priests 9rid choris ters had an odd game of hall with . the Pasch egg, throwing iifrom one to the other in the nam Of the church, an anthem being s ing mean- time. As necessarily the gg came to grief, if it, was not ca ght every time, eventually the more ubstantial hand -ball was used ini. tead. In Prance, in olden times, all1 the hen - roosts were ransacked for the largest eggs which were then presented to the king: Easter morning, immediately after the 'high mass in the Chapel of the Louvre, pyramids of gilded eggs, in verdure trimmed baskets, Were brought into the royal cabinet by men servants and by them given out to all those about the court in the presence of the king. There is a survival of an old cus- tom still extant in a few of the more remote parts of France, where the priest goes around at the Easter season and blesses the homes of his 1 er Wei oners, who recompense- him w ith -gifts of eggs both plain and 1 pa in ted • _. An old practice formerly prevalent all over Wales, and in parts Of Eng- land, and Scotland, still obtains in Anglesey, North Wales. There, froni lilotiday until SaLurday the week im- mediately precedingEaster, the chil- dren go from house to house solicit- ing eggs: if no eggs are forthcoming, they evill take their equivalent in coppers. They announce their com- ing by mates of a large clapper so that the door may be open for them. An old Northumberland custom seems as curious as any. There,when a man asks a woman for an egg and she refuses it, he takes off her boots holding them until she pays the pen- alty, and when he refuses, her the 14aech egg requested, she snatches off his cap 0.0(1 will not return it until he pays the forfeit. Her deed is 1110011 easier of a ceoinplishment than his, and one Wonders just how he manages it if she objects. Perhaps, of all countries, Russia ex- ceeds all others. in the attention it pays to the Easter egg. Almost uni- versally the people may be seen car- rying a, number of eggs with them Nvherever they go op Easter Day for presentation to their friends. In gi V- i »g them, they say, "Christ is Ris- en," and receive the answer. "He is risen, indeed." After services in the church es pr i es ts and lay m ea click eggs toget her, just as we do glasees when e,is ing a. toast, as an evidence 'of I.: i ii d ly feel i ng . . Our practice of "picks' you upper," is -practiced in Matly parts of rural England and continental Europe, the same rule controlling, the weaker egg becoming the spoil of the stronger. Another popular European Pasch egg contest is to trundle the eggs down a hill or slope, the ones reach - Mg the bottom uncracked Winning the weaker ones. An American prac- tice of this custom- is the famous White House egg trundling on Easter Monday. ilere, 'since the beginning of the century children gather on the White House lawn on that :day and trundle Easter eggs down the slope. Of late years. the original Easter eggs have had a formidable rival in the artificial eggs made of confection- ery, .or of sugar and filigree, hollow containing bon bons or any other dainty offering. Many of these con- fectioner's eggs are very dainty and attractive, while others of mammoth size and cost are very elaborate, and are just for show. Old Friends the Hest. "Every year I am more convinced ief the value of the good old stand- bys," says an amateur flower-groe-- er.
