The Resurrection.

Some years ago a vase, closely sealed, was found in a mummy pit in Egypt, by the English traveler, Wilkinson, who sent it to the British museum. The librarian having unfortunately broken it, discovered in it a few peas—old, wrinkled, and as hard as a stone. The peas were planted carefully under a glass, on the 4th of June, 1844, and at the end of thirty days, those seeds were seen to spring up into new life. They had been buried, probably, about three thousand years ago, perhaps in the time of Moses, and had slept all that time apparently dead, yet still living in the dust of the tomb. — Gaussen.

WHAT this writer has told us about seeds, should remind us that God is just as able to raise our dead bodies from the grave, and give them new life. For why should it be thought a thing incredible that God should raise the dead? 'For our conversation is in Heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto himself.' — Christian Witness.
