NO LONGER A THEORY. 
“Immortality,” says Rev. E. H. Brewster, “is 
no longer a DebatableTheory. The only 
Burial Ground is in the Heart of God.” 
«The Empty Tomb” was the sub- 
ject selected by Rev. Edward Hersey 
Brewster for his Easter sermon at the 
Baptist church last Sunday. He said 
in part: 
«“ Yes, He was dead. There was no 
doubt of that in the minds of those 
who had faithfully shared his fortunes 
and were heartbroken because they 
could not drink of his cup of woe. 
They had seen those glazed eyes 
turned heavenward in one last mute 
appeal, and that bleeding head sank 
upon his breast. 
“The reign of sin fell with that 
sinking head. To them, the closing 
day died with the light upon his face. 
Their ears did not catch the hoarse 
murmer of the terror stricken throng, 
for over their hearts with tremendous 
reiteration, though a thousand tides 
had merged in a billow of sound, came 
the fateful words, ‘ It is finished.’ 
‘« Saturday came and went and the 
Christ was silent in his grave. Silence 
reigned within and without the tomb. 
The evening of Saturday darkened 
and the long hour of night marched 
stealthily over the tomb of the dead. 
The city lay wrapt in slumber. The 
morning came at length. It was no 
brighter than other days. The city 
stirred itself and awoke. But no eye 
was cast anxiously toward the Saviour’s 
tomb. Will none remember Jesus ? 
«The world cares no more for the 
pure and humble teacher, who kissed 
the tears of the poor away. There 
is one whocares. There is one that 
loves. The form of a woman breaks 
through therising mists and soon Mary 
Magdelene announces to the world 
that the tomb of Christ is empty. 
“A dead Christ might have been for- 
gotten ; a living Christ never can be. 
“The slumber of a sleeping Jesus 
might have been assailed with the 
piteous cries of the anguished, but the 
night of death could have shed no 
star of hope into the black vault of 
human transgression. 
“Christ does not hold His cross 
against us, but for us; He shares with 
us the power of His resurrection, and 
in ascending to His Father, whispers, 
‘I will come again.’ 
‘Immortality is no longer a debata- — 
ble theory. he song of triumph, 
‘He is risen,’ sounded out so clearly 
at the entrance of the shattered tomb, 
has found expression in the credo of 
every pure religion; and better yet, 
its sweet echoes are ringing in the 
heart of the outcast who hopes for no 
mansion here, and in ‘ The conscience 
of Dives, who must leave al] and fol- 
low Him.’ 
“Angels still linger among the 
tombs, and teach us that the only 
burial ground is the heart of God, 
that ‘to live is Christ, and to die is 
Gain.’ 
“There is room for all the world 
within the empty sepulchre, and its 
meaning ¢lasps the universe around. 
‘‘Heaven touched the earth with 
her winged foot that morning, and the 
imprint has never been quite oblit- 
erated. Christ upon His cross in — 
isolated agony seemed under the 
blight of the Eternal’s curse, but the 
retinue of angels knocking at his — 
tomb on Easter morning, lighting Him 
from his burial with their Heaven- | 
kissed faces, showed him to be favor- — 
ite of the skies.”’
