Excerpt from Sleeping and Walking: A Commemorative Discourse, Delivered in the Eliot Church, Boston, March 18th, 1888; And an Address at the Funeral of Mrs. Eliza Hill Anderson, March 13th, 1888 With a View to assuage the grief of Christianmourners, the apostle here dispels a misapprehension, and supplies a basis of triumphant trust. The sub lime event Of a future resurrection he treats as a cer tainty. Respecting the divine authority of Christ's mission, His resurrection literal bodily reappear ance from the sepulcher - was a consummating event. By previous teaching it was made the car dinal confirmation of all His Claims. Subsequent apostolic utterances show it to have been the di vinely designed crisis of our Lord's presence here as Redeemer; the test event which settled the question of His being truly Messiah, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, the Eternal Word made flesh, the Almighty head and guardian of a/kingdom, illimitable in extent, duration, and glory. The occur rence was, moreover, a visible specimen Of what the Great Teacher, and all teachers inspired by Him, sig nify when they speak of the resurrection of His people. That is predicted or clearly referred to by our Lord and the apostles more than fifty times in the New Testament; and quite Often is it put into connection with Christ's having come from the grave. This is a vital point in our religion: For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised; and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain The sacred writings do not leave us in ignorance or in doubt touching the future Of the righteous dead. They give us something more than mere h0pe in the mat ter. They lay before us truths wherewith in strong est confidence we are to comfort one another.
