PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
"Mary stood ... weeping" (v. II)
John saw the empty tomb and believed,,
and he and Peter went away, but Mary
Stayed, She who waited last saw' .Jesus
fist, "Blessed are they that wait i'or
him" (Ism- 30: 18). Mary's tears were
a fulfilment of 'Jesus' prophecy (John
10: ,20.22). Rut had Mory believed, she
had not wept, Jesus had said, "After
three days 1 will rise again" (Matt. 27:
03; trunk 831), "After1 nm risen again,
I will go before you into Galilee" (Hatt,
26: 32), ]end she believed him, she
would not have looked for hila in the
'rave, but in Galilee; she world not
have said 'they" when it was the lord
(v. 13), Usually the tears we weep for
oer el'es flow because of Unbelief. We
ar0 only bidden to weep tears of sym-
pathy (Rom 12: 13). Our.privil pe is to
be glad and rejoice (Cant. 1. 1; Ihv,
10: 7) ; to rejoice evermore (1, 'These. 5:
16)' to sing (Eph, 5: 10); to praise
(ilel). 13: 15); to rejoice in the Lord
(Phil. 4: 4), whether there is anything
else to rejoice in or not (Ilan 13, 16).
Love alone can never do this. Love and
faith should never go separated. Love
without faith car be mistaken. hence
the twice repented question, "Woman,
why weepest thou?" (vs, 13, 16). That
was really no time ea place for 10111r5.

force of "Henceforth know we no mar

Cor, 5: 10). Mary kept at a distance.
This leads me to words dear to n e in
this connection. 'Surely 1 have stilled
