these things were done in a corner.’’ It 
was a well authenticated fact in Paul’s 
day. We hear not a single denial of the 
historic fact by contemporaries of Paul, 
therefore his testimony has splendid 
weight. He is imprisoned and about to 
be executed, but with assurance and con- 
viction born of knowledge he _ says, 
““Jesus hath abolished death and brought 
life and immortality to light.’ The 
prison walls fade away, the chain melts 
from his wrist, and Caesar’s tribunal, 
its pomp, its soldiers, its decrees, its ex- 
ecutioners are but fantastic shadows com- 
pared to the greater reality for he has 
the faculty of the spiritual prospective. 
So above the shadowy, shifting views of 
others, abovetheir suspicious speculations, 
he declares the fact of Christ’s resurrec- 
tion as one of the steadiest axioms of his 
knowledge. 
Science itself has demonstrations of 
This is the season of 
nature’s resurrection. The decayed 
grain of wheat demonstrates it. The 
dew-sprinkled blossoms are swarming 
with life fresh from the tomb and preach 
a sermon on the resurrection that stag- 
gers science itself. Go ask that little 
airy creature on gorgeous wing to tell 
you its history and then go on and deny 
the story of the resurrection. It was a 
worm, it crawled on the earth, it fed on 
the earth. Now in its resurrection it 
sips tae honey of a thousand blooms 
and lives ina higher realm. If man’s 
body is doomed to the earth then it is 
lower in the order of creation than the 
worm. ‘Think of it, a marvelous trans- 
formation bestowed upon a worm that is 
denied to man! 
Listen! One of the most remarkable 
discoveries of science is that there is life 
on earth that is deathless. We have a 
scientific demonstration of immortality 
‘on earth. This deathless life is in the 
one-celled organism. It is in the rudi- 
mentary principle of life. Weirsmann 
declares that natural death occurs only in 
the many-celled organism but is not 
found in the one-celled organism. New- 
man Smith says the one-celled organism 
does not exist fora time, produce another 
like itself and then die, it lives right on. 
It divides itself andthus may be said to 
live in double form, Aut it does not die. 
Science here gives evidence that death is 
not an essential attribute of nature, but 
rather that life is the essential attribute. 
Death is then not a primary, but a sec- 
ondary and incidental event in nature. 
If we carry the argument into the 
spiritual realm it is even stronger in favor 
of the resurrection. “The idea, the hope, 
the demand for immortality,—call it 
what you will,—is inherent in the soul. 
It is the key note in music, it is the 
Master Chord. No great art portrays 
death as a finality. The soul of the 
Master resists the idea of death. Always 
when genius paints or chissels it ex-

presses immortality, life. “The music 
and art that lacks this is dead music, dead 
art. It strikes a discord in the still air, 
it hangs a fall over the mid-day sun. 
In the supreme moment of mortal 
peril the soul feels no fear. We may 
live in terror of the coming of death but 
when he comes we fall gently asleep in 
his arms like a child seeking a sweet pe- 
riod of rest. If the physiologist has a 
reason for this so has the psychologist. 
You could tear the Diety from his 
throne as easily as you could tear the in- 
stinct from the soul that it will awake 
from that which Jesus rightly named a 
sleep. This instinct of immortality is 
the key to every metaphysical mystery. 
The materialist tells us there is no 
freedom or intelligent choice in mere 
nature; that everything grows out of in- 
exorable law and develops into har- 
monious completeness, but here, with- 
out immortality nature is defeated and 
the materialists argument is 77/. 
This truth of the resurrection is fun- 
damental in Christianity. “The whole 
structure of the church and modern civil- 
ization stands or falls on the issue of 
Christ’s divinity and resurrection. An- 
alize this assertion and carry it to its 
logical conclusion and see what you 
have. France carried the answer along 
a partial demonstration and shuddered 
and turned back to its fundamental soul 
instinct and recovered. Did you read 
the sermon in the “‘ Wall Street Jour- 
nal’ on the vital relation between 
christian faith and civilization? It says 
national disaster will follow the disaster 
of christian faith. Yes, racial disaster 
follows every distruction of soul instincts. 
God is not a God of the dead but a 
God of the living. There is life beyond 
the tomb. ‘The flowers you scatter over 
the graves are emblems of sweeter nup- 
tials than the garlands at any wedding 
feast. There is music there, and joy and 
laughter we know not of. 
When Paul was ready to go there he 
said “‘ my departure is at hand.’’ An- 
. . “zy . . ‘ 
other said with striking significance, — let 
me pass out.”’ 
** So when the angel of the bitter drink 
At last shall greet you at the river-brink 
And offering his cup, invite your soul 
Forth to your lips to quaff—you shall 
shrink.’ ’
