The doctrine of the resurrection is a very interesting one. It is a matter of deep anxiety as to where we shall spend eternity, and how and with whom. There is no other subject or doctrine in all the range of the imagination, thought, reason, or revelation that is fraught with such tremendous consequences. To the saints it will be a time of joy unspeakable and full of glory; to the wicked a time of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The resurrection of Christ from the dead is the crowning work of human redemption. When Jesus expired upon the cross, and his body lay in the grave, the powers of darkness seemed to hold sway for a little season. The Light that was brought from heaven went out. The enemies of righteousness had triumphed. He of whom it was expected that he would deliver Israel and the world as well, lay silent in the chamber of death. The hope of Israel faded away.

Heaven was awed at the scene. There was silence in heaven ; a mantle of gloom and darkness shrouded the earth, and the foundations of the earth were shaken at the awful conflict and sacrifice of the " Godhead " for the redemption of the human race.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Title Through the looking-glass and what Alice found there Authors: Lewis Carroll, Sir John Tenniel Illustrated by: Sir John Tenniel Edition: 61 Publisher: Henry Altemus, 1897 (first published (1871) Original from: the University of Michigan Digitized: Jul 11, 2005 Length: 218 pages

Tweedledum and Tweedledee are characters in a nursery rhyme and in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Their names may have originally come from an epigram written by poet John Byrom.

They were standing under a tree, each with an arm round the other's neck, and Alice knew which was which in a moment, because one of them had 'DUM' embroidered on his collar, and the other 'DEE.' "I suppose they've each got 'TWEEDLE' round at the back of the collar," she said to herself.

They stood so still that she quite forgot they were alive, and she was just looking round to see if the word 'TWEEDLE' was written at the back of each collar, when she was startled by a voice coming from the one marked 'DUM.'

"If you think we're wax-works," he said, '- you ought to pay, you know. Wax-works weren't made to be looked at for nothing. Nohow!"

"Contrariwise," added the one marked ' DEE,' " if you think we're alive, you ought to speak."

"I'm sure I'm very sorry," was all Alice could say; for the words of the old song kept ringing through her head like the ticking of a clock, and she could hardly help saying them out loud:

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.
