Twice had the sun gone down upon The
earth, and all was yet quiet Ut the sepul-
chre. Death held his sceptre over the
Son Of God. Skill and silent tAe heurs|
passed on. Tho guards ssooa By thsir|
poss; the rays Of the midaight aooa
cleaned On their helmets and on their
spears. The enemies Of Christ exulsed
IN theirsuccess. Theh hearts Of his friends
were sunk N dependency and sorrow.
The spirits Of glory waited in anxious
suspense to beholdthe event, aud wonder
ed At the ways Of God. At leaGth, the
morning star srising m the east, announ-
ced the approach of light; the third day
began ooaawn On The wss3d when on sud
denthe earth trembledtoias centre, and the
powers Of heaven were shaken. An
angelof God descended The guardsshrunk
back from his presence, and fell PROSTATE
on the ground. His countenance was
like lightning, and has raimsnt was -
white - snow. He rolled away the stone
from the door Of the Sepulchre, and sat
upon it. But who 10 this that cometh
forth from the tomb, with dyed garments
from the bed Of death? He that is glori-
ous in his appearance, walking in the
greatness Of his strength! 1t is thy


Prince OZion! Christian it il your


LORD! He hath trodden the wine press


alone; he hath stained his raiment with


blood but nov, as the FIRST born from the


womb Of nature, he meets the morning Of


his resurrection. He arises a conqueror


from the grave he returns with blessings


from the world Of spirits be brings saliva


ton to the sons Of men. Never did the


returning sun usher iE day - glorious.


It was the jubilee Of the universe! The


morning stars sung..together, and all the
sons Of God shouted aloud for Joy. The


Father Of mcrcies looked down from his
throne in the heavens: with complacency
he beheld the world restored; he saw the


work that il was good. Then dld the
desert rejoice; the face Of nature was
gladdeneo before him; when tie blessings
Of the eternal descended Is the dew Of
heaven for the refreshing ofthe nations
