It means that the clock that strikes 12 at midnight may strike 12 at inidnoon. It means that the grace of God is seven times stronger than 6m. Mary Magdalene the seven deviled became Mary Magdalene the seven angeled. It moans that when the Lord meets us at last he will not throw up to us what we have been. All he said to her was "Mary!" Many people having met her under sueh circumstances would have said: "Let me sec, how many devils did you have? One, two, three, four, live, six, seven. * What a terrible piece you were when I first met you." The most of the Christian women in our day would havo nothing to do with Mary Magdalene, even after her conversion, lest somehow they be compromised. The inly thing I have to say against women is that they have not enough mercy for Mary Magdalene. Christ put all pathos, and all reminiscence, and all antici|Dation, and all pardon, and all comfort, and all heaven Into one word of four letters, "Mary!" Mark you, Christ did not appear to some Bible Kli/abetb, or Bible Hannah, or lilble Esther, or liible Deborah, or Bible Yashtl, but to Mury; not to a Mary against whom nothing was said, not to Mary, the mother of Jesus, not to Mary, the mother of James, not to Mary, the sister of Lazarus, but to a seven deviled Mary. no resurrection, come, is it not almost tftne for us to go out to tceet our reanimated dead!'

That the grave will get nothing of us except our wounds and imperfections. Christ went into the grave exhausted and bloodless. All tho currents of his life had poured out from his wounds. He had lived a life of trouble, sorrow and privation, and then he died a lingering death. His entire body hung on four spikes. No invalid of 20 years' suffering ever went into the grave so white and ghastly and broken down as Christ, and yet hero he ooincs up so rubicund and robust she supposed him to be the gardeni r.

Hazleton 14 Washington, April 18.—This sermon of Dr. Ti.lim ge will set its readers to thinking on new lines and will make this season of Kaster more inspiring than ever. The text is John xx, 16, "She, supposing him to he the gardener." 6. " Peter wm therefore kept in prison, but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him." There in no doubt but that God could prevent the devil from touching one of His children, but such is not His way. When on earth, the Ijord Jesus said: "In the world ye shall have tribulation. Whomever killeth yon will think that he doeth God service" (John xvi, 88, 2). From the glory after His ascension He Raid, "The devil shall oust some of you into prison that ye may be tried, r.nd ye shall have tribulation" (liev. ii, 10). But this also we are perfectly sure of. that nothi't can possibly come to a child of God without God's permission (Job i, 10, 12; Zech. ii, 6, 8; Rum. viii, 28). hor the year of 1897 Cnsp-.T, William clothing strict.

God can take them all away, 7 or 70. I rode over the new cantalevcr bridge that spans Niagara—a liridge 1(00 feet long, 850 feet of chasm from bluff to bluff 1 passed over it without any anxiety. Why? Because 22 locomotives and 22 cars laden with gravel hail tested the bridge, thousands of people standing on the Canadian side, thousands standing on the American side to applaud the achievement. And however long tho train of ouriminortui interests may lie, we are to remember that God's bridge of mercy spanning the chasm of sin has boen fully tested by the awful tonnage of all the pardoned sin of all the ages, church militant standing on one bunk, church triumphant standing on the other bank. Oh, it was to the seven deviled Mary that Christ made his first post mortem appearance.(». "Peter wan sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and the keepers before the door kept the prison." The enemy did his best to make sun- of his prey. Two words in the Greek toll the story of James (aneile machaini) killid with a sword. For Peter, God had other work yet to be accomplished and suffered him to be placed in these circumstances that He might show forth His power. In the hands of the authorities and under the constant guard of four soldiers, to two of whom he was chained, the deliverance seemed hopeless, but the believers did all they oould do and cried instantly and earnestly to God (margin). street, I';izleton  Malloy, F.

Slavery of any kind is detestable and revolting. Since liberty is so important and so mnch to be desired, it is of the greatest importance that we should have correct ideas of liberty, that we shonld know what is the highest and trnest form of liberty and be anxious to attain to it Thein are many false standards of liberty in the world today. To some liberty means license— license to do as th« y please regardless of their obligations to God or to their fellow men. Liberty does not mean license. No man has a right to act as if he were the only person in existence. Onr actions must always be viewed from the standpoint of our relation to God and to the others in life about ua. Nor are physical, political and mental forms of liberty the highest and trnest forma Meu are often free politically and physically and yet slaves. On the other hand, men are often slaves politically and physically, and yet at the mime time are enjoying the truest liberty. The best and the truest liberty in the world is soul liberty—liberty from the passions »ujd lusts of life, freedom from the chains of sin and of unbelief that bind men stronger than ever the chains of physical slavery bound them. Men often think they are tree when they are not. The Jews, because of their descent from Abraham, claimed they were freemen, boasted of their liberty, yet Christ pointed out to them that they were ill slavery to unbelief and to and did aot possess the liberty which He alone :ould give to them. Sinners often ooust jf their liberty. Free thinkers and iree livers, who place no limits to thought or life, imagine they are the freest oJ men; that they enjoy the highest forms of true liberty. Ibe fact, however, is that it is only the shadow of liberty. In reality they are slaves, captives to the most degrading beliefs and actions, and know nothing of the true iilierty which makes a man free frtm sin, gives him absolute power and control over himself and makes him recognize the supreme claims of the law of God as against his own sinful desires.

First, vur !DDrd in gardt n«. r's attire. Mary Maptlalene, grief struck, stands by the Fitted sarcophagus of Christ and turtni around, boplug she can find the truck of the sacrilegious n*iirnviionist who has despoiled the grave, and she Unds some one in working apparel mine forth as if to water the flowers or uproot the weed* from the garden or set to rcclin hitig the fallen vine —some one in working apparel, his foments |ierhaps having the sign of the  Witl the dirt of tho occupation. Mary llagdalene, on her face the rain of « fresh shower of weeping, turns to this workman and charges hiin with the desecration of the tomb, when, lo! the stranger responds, flinging his whole soul into one word which trembles with all the sweetest rhythm of earth and heaven, saying, "Mary!" In that peculiarity of acccntua floij all the iqcognito fell off, and she found that instead of talking with an buiuble gardener of Asia Minor she was talking with him who owns all the hanging gardens of heaven. Constellations the clusters of forgetmenots, the sunflower the chief of all, the morning sky and midnight aurora, flaring terraces of beauty, blazing like a summer wall with coronation roses and giants of battle. Bless* d and glorious mistake of Man llagdalene! "She supposing him fo' be the gardener." What (Joes (hat mean! it means that we have an everyday Christ for everyday Work in everyday apparel. f»ot on bah bptlj ipprning in eur most seemly apparel are we more attractive to Christ than we »re In our everyday work dress, managing our merchandise, smiting our anvil, plowing our field, tending the flying shuttles, mending the garments for our household, providing food for onr families or lolling with weary pen or weary pencil or Weary chisel. A Working day Christ in working day apparel for us in our everyday toil. Put it into the highest strain of this Kaster anthem, V&ippoatng him to be the gardener." |f Christ Jm*} ppppnred at daybreak with A crown upon blu head, that would have (teemed to puggt st espoclal sympatiiy for inonnsvhs; If Christ had appeanxl in chain of gCild and with robe diamonded, that would have «vmed to be es|Doeiul sympathy for the affluent; if Christ had api-eared with soldier's sash and sword dangling at his side, that would have seemed to imply especial Hyni|Dathy for warriors; but When 1 ttnd Christ |n gardener's habit, ■yrith perhaps the flakes of the earth und of the upturned soil upon hi« garments, then J S|*'j| it out. that be has hearty and athfjtic understanding with everyday work and everyday anxiety and everyday fa Ncnw at thC* Tomb. H. "Cast thy fturment about thee and follow inc." Awakened by tho angel's touch, Peter, loosed from his chains, arose from between the still sleeping soldiers und in tho lipht that shone in the prison girded himself and bound on his sandals. There is no stealth, nor injunction to step lightly, nor tear of any,kind, but the quietness and majesty of the power of God. Ranter Uairn. 71 North 14 If the chronometer had been Invented and Mary had us good a watch as some of the Marys of our time have, she would have found it was about half-past 5 o'clock a. ui. Matthew says it was in the dawn. Mark says it was at the satirising. Luke says it was very early in the morning. John says it was while it was yet dark- In other words, it was twilight. That was the o'clock at which Marv Magdalene mistook Christ for the gardener. What does that int-un? It means there ere shadows over the grave unlifted, shadows of mystery that ure hovering. Mary stooped down and tried to look to the other end of the crypt. She gave hystcric outcry.

Hazlett Charles V of Spain with his servants and torches went down into the vault of the necropolis where his ancestors were buried, and went doeocT. farther on until lie came to a cross around which were arranged the caskets of hi* ancestors. He also found a casket containing the body of one of his own family. He had that casket opened, and there by embalmcr's art he found that the body was as jDerfect as 18 years before when it was entombed. But tinder the exploration his body and mind perished. Oh, my friends, do not let us morbidly struggle with the shadows of the sepulcher. What are we to do? Wait. It Is not the evening twilight that gets darker and darker. It is the morning twilight that gets brighter and brighter into the perfect day. I preach It today. Sunrise over Pere le Chaise, sunrise over Greyfriars churchyard, stAjrise over Greenwood, over Wood lawn, over Laurel Hill, over Mount Auburn, over Congressional burying ground, sunrise over every country graveyard, sunrise oter the catacombs, sunrise over the sarcophagi, where the ships Ue buried. Half past 5 o'clock among the tombs now, but soon to be the noonday of explanation and beatitude. It was in the morning twilight that Mary Magdalene mistook Christ for a gardener. Another t.Mitp the world and the church have not observed—that is, Christ s pathetic credentials. How do you know it was not a gardener? His garments said ho was a gardener. The flakes of the upturned earth scattered upon life* garments said he was a gardener. How do you know he was not a gardener? Ah! Before KcwtCT had gone by he gave to some of his disciples his three credentials. He showed them his hands and his side. Three paragraph* written in rigid or depressed litters.

Hazle- Aye, am I saying this morning too much when I gay that will lx) one of the ways In which you and I will know each other by the scars of earth; scars of accident, •cars of sickness, scars of persecution, scars of hard work, scars of battle, sours of old age? When 1 see Christ's resurrected body having scars. It makes me think that our remodeled and resurrected bodies will hove scars. Why, before we get out of this world some of us will be covered with soars all over. Heaven will not be a iiay into which float sumnur yachts after a pleasuring, with the gay bunting and with the embroidered sails as fair as when they were first unfurled. Heavon will he more like a navy yard where men of-war come in from Trafalgar and Le|ianto, men-ofwar with masts twisted by a cyclone, men - of-war struck on ull sides by 71 pounders, men-of-war with docks scorched of the (hell. Old Constitutions, old Constellations, flouting in discharged from service to rest forever. In the resurrection Christ oredentluled by scars. You and I will be credentialed, and will recognize each other by scars. Do you think them now a disfigurement? Do you think them now u badge of endurance? I tell you the glori ous thought this morning, they are going to lie the means of heavenly recognition. There Is one more thing that the world and the church have not noticed In this resurrection of Christ, and that is that Christ from Friday to Sabbath was lifeless in a hot ciimate whore sanitary prudence demanded that burial take place the same day as death, and where there was no ice to retard dissolution. Yet, after three days he comes up so healthful, so robust nnd so rubicund Mary Magdalene takes him for a gardener. Not supposing him tq bean invalid irom a hospital, not supposing him to lie a corpse from the tomb, hut supposing him to be the gardener. Healthlul by the lirtath of the upturned sod, and by a perpetual life in tlie sunshine. ----- _  Boone. S. P.. (rfDnC»raT stM*. Tnrnbach .l* FtlejfiK, Aumiflt. hardware, .1* BroiK°«. Pe'er r*n»r»!
