manent state or condition of redeemed
human llfo lu tho great future. It I
certainly tho mot Joyful and dcalrn
bio period of llfo. Uoetho ha truly
said: "All men would llvo long, but
no mnn would grow old." Thl deslro
I of dlvlno origin, mid must tberoforo
bo grntltled somntlme nnd somewhere.
I cannot bellcvo that grny haJrs, dim
eyes, wrinkled faces, sallow skin and
trembling limb represent tho normal
condition of human life, because they
nro evidences of disease, decny mid
death, nnd disease Is mi abnormal con
dition brought on by sin. God mado
health tho normal condition of llfo
and (llseaso tho abnormal condition.
Ingersoll onco said; "If I hnd been
making tho world Instead of God I
would have mnilo health contagious
Instead of disease," to which a medi
cal professor replied: "Then he would
hnvo been compelled to have mado
disease Instead of health tho normal
condition of llfo."
would this haro been!
How dreadful
Hut Oml know
better how to make a world than lu
fldels do.
Now, If tho decrepitude of ago Is the
result of disease, and disease la an ab
normal condition of life brought about
by sin, it follows therefore that all
tlieso abnormal conditions will forercr
disappear when our redemption Is
uisnp(car wueil our redemption U
fully completed In tho morning of lue
resurrection,
All tho weakness, cor
ruptibility and dishonor to which tho
body ha been subjected on account
of sin will bo exchanged for Incorrup-
ilon, glory, honor and Immortality. (1
Cor. xv., 42-68), Where there Is no
decay or corruption there can be uo
old ago. Thla wn remotely antici
pated by Kllhu, where ha represents
an old afflicted skeleton of a once
powerful man returning to tha days
of hi youth, "HI fleih shall bo frosti
er than n child'; he ahall return to
tho day of hi youth." (Job xill.,
10-25.) Tlio Psalmist also say of the
man whoso llfo ha been redeemed
from destruction that ho shall have
hla "youth renewed like tho eagle's."
(IV. cut., 3-0.) And Jesus says: "Lto
hold I make all Uilugs now." (Rev.
xxl 1-6.) From thla It appears that
tho earth, together with all Its re
deemed Inhabitants, ahall eventually
be rehabilitated upon the original plan
of Immortal youth. Age will pass
away as winter, and the prlng of
childhood will bloom out Into tho fra
grant mid luxurious summer of Im
mortal youth. Those who wore once
old nnd Infirm will resumo tha appear
ance of their youth and experlouco
again, Its health and enjoyments, eu
rlched a thousand-fold by tho knowl
edge and experience of manhood mid
old ago. They shall look out upon the
I renewed nnd glorified earth through
renowea mid glorified eye, hear It
Joyful sounds with tho ear of youth,
tnsto It supornboundltig Joy with tho
mouth of youth, walk Its highways
with tho fcot of youth, mid enter
henrtlly Into all It Joya and activi
ties with tho vivacity of youth. Oh,
blessod statol Oh, happy condition I
And it will bo immortal. Wo shall
nevor grow old ngaln. "And thero
shall bo no moro death, neither Bor
row nor crying; neither shall thoro bo
any moro pain: for tho former things
(sin, dlsoaso, old ago and death) aro
pnssed away." Look up, then, yo
ngod, "for your redemption drawoth
