up
"
(Matt.
iv.
16).
There
is
a
beautiful
figure
of
this
resurrection
in
Ezekiel
(chap,
xxxvii.),
where
the
dry
bones
gradually
assume
life
:
and
then
there
is
that
other
passage,
"
The
hour
is
coming,
and
now
is,
when
the
dead
shall
hear
the
voice
of
the
Son
of
God
;
and
they
that
hear
shall
live
"
(John
v.
25).
O
you
who
are
coming
out
of
the
sepulchre
!
you
feel
within
yourselves
a
germ
of
life
spring-ing
up
little
by
little:
you
are
quite
astonished
to
find
a
secret
strength
taking
possession
of
you
:
your
ashes
are
reanimated
:
you
feel
yourselves
to
be
in
a
new
country.
The
poor
soul,
which
only
expected
to
remain
at
rest
in
its
grave,
receives
an
agreeable
surprise.
It
does
not
know
what
to
think
:
it
supposes
that
the
sun
must
have
shed
upon
it
a
few
scattered
rays
through
some
opening
or
chink,
whose
brightness
will
only
last
for
a
moment.
It
is
still
more
astonished
when
it
feels
this
secret
vigour
per-meating
its
entire
being,
and
finds
that
it
gradually
receives
a
new
life,
to
lose
it
no
more
for
ever,
unless
it
be
by
the
most
flagrant
unfaithfulness.
But
this
new
life
is
not
like
the
former
one
:
it
is
a
life
in
God.
It
is
a
perfect
life.
The
