Mr. Rand spoke last night before the Young Men's Christian Association on the subject of Resurrection.
The idea of the last day, he said, is when Christ shall come and judge both the quick and the dead. Christ says that we should consider the spiritual resurrection, that we are dead spiritually, dead in sin. Christ has the power to raise from bodily and spiritual death. The only way Christ could make the multitude understand was by signs. The people whom Christ fed at Galilee came only for earthly bread. The people only saw the signs that Christ gave, and he said himself that they did not appreciate them - even his very disciples could not understand them. It is possible to have this life of Christ, even if we can seen no signs of it. Most of us do not show it even if we have it. We most often think of what Christ has given us when we are alone, but we should feel this life always and especially we should show it to others.
At the end of the service a business meeting was held to consider the question of a new building, especially whether the building should be restricted to the religious societies to the exclusion of the social societies. Professor Palmer had suggested that the new building should have on the first floor a series of rooms devoted to the religious societies, rooms which could be thrown together for receptions of any kind. On the second floor he suggested that there be a reading room and various smaller rooms that might be given to certain small societies. The third floor he thought should consist of a lecture room. It was voted that the question as to whether the building should or should not be restricted to the religious societies be laid on the table for one week.
