THIS SERMON IN STONE
Dr. Archibald Fleming, replying in "Tho Times" to the criticism that tho cenotaph in Whitehall includes "no emblem of tho Christian religion," says:— "Surely the cridicism is less than thoughtful. Tho word 'conotaph/ in its Greek derivation and as originally employed, mean* an Ikipty Sepulchre.- , Probably tli:e locus elussiuus of the uso of tho word in .English literature is to bo found in Sir Thomas Browno's 'Roligio Mcdoci'-'to eoo Him in His glory rather than to contemplate Him in his cenotaph.' It would I>j dilliculb to say luw Uio Christian doctrino of tho Resurrection—surely tho relevant doctrine iu this connection—could bo more impressively preached than by this sermon in stone. 'ILo is not here, ll'e is risen.' Thoro aro no dead.'"
