We print elsewhere, the proceed.
lngs of q meeting of the Veterans Of
1912, asking Congress to grant them
additional bounties.
It would seem to DO common
act of justice (not to mention the
more uncommon quality Of graft
tude) to grant this request promptly
to as many of that SURVIVING band of
patriots, at least as may be in need
of this farther recognition Of their
valuable services.

A correspondent Of the New York
Sun has recently had long interview
with Asa Packer, from which we make
as many extracts this morning as our
space permits:
MAUcH CHUNK, Pa, Sept. h.--NVay
up in the anthracite co II region of Penn
sylvania, where the picturesque Lehigh
river forces its way through the mar
rowest gorge of the Blue mountains,
nestles the town of Mauch Chunk.
Asa Packer, the favorite of the demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania, is the man
of mark who resides In this town. In
1t, and yet isolated from it. Asa Pack
er is man OF the people. Asa Packers
home is the home of Asa Packers fami-
ly. The one belongs to the many; the
other to the one. While the home is
in Mauck Chunk, it is distinct from
Mauch Chunk-as distinct from the
town as the green oasis OF the broad
sandy plains of Sahara, is from the des-
ert itself. The home is the abode of
elegance, refinement, luxury, and ease.
1t monopolizes commanding point on
the hillside, wher cwealth has dug out
a plain, and built terraces, and planted
rare flowers, and cultivated choice
shrubbcry, and in the midst of this gar
den has reared princely mansion and
adorned its interior with costly furni-
ture, capacious shelves lined with books,
elegant pictures, and frescoes, statuary
and other works of art. This is the
home ofAsa Packer, located in the town
Of the coal miners, yet contrasting in
every respect so conspicuously with tho
homes adjoining and surrounding it.
And here Asa Packers family lives.

The Church Of the Holy Trinity protestant Episco

from those who heard II, undoubtedly; whether as
much can be said for its power over the devotional
feelings 1t is impossible to speak with quite much
assurance The sermon was by Rev. DR.. Hail. the
new rector. He took for his text part OF the
fourth verse Of the fifteenth chapter or First Corln-
thians-'There Is spiritual body" Among all the
different readings OF this passage IN the various
manuscripts this Is the correct one. st. Paul says

The clear sky and mellow~sunshine Of TO- day. to-

the occasion, attracted thousands OF worshppers TO
the numerous churches that adorn the city and be-
speak the religious feryor Of the Inhabitants. All
the sacred edifces we're thronged with worshipping
mutitudes assembled TO commemorate the sacred
significance Of Easter. In st. Johns Roman Catho-
Tic church Father Schmidt delivered brief but im-
pressve discourse on the opening verses OF the SIX
teenth chapter OF st. Mark which treat or the
angels declaration Of the resurrection OF Christ.
Father Schmidt remarked tnat Easter Sunday Is as
the Church calls IT, the s0Iemnty OF all s0ennftes,
because our Saviour BY his triumphant resurrec-
ton nom the dead eifecfed the redemption OF man.
ne mas opened the gates OF his grace and blessings to
u.s. and to-day there ought to be great JOY on earth
and we should rise with Jesus Christ to more holy
and virtuOus life. We should mediate on the resur-
rect0n OF our Lord and leave the shee-s or nquity
that enshroud In the grave OF the past and COM
mence new spiritual life In the love OF Jesus. The
sacrament OF the Blessed Eucharist administered
to about th0us and OF the congregation, which SO
prolonged the services as not to admit OF an ex-
tended discourse by Father Schmidt.
This being the frst sunday for the new Methodist
cergymen sent here by the conference to oicate in
their respective pups, much curiosity was aroused
ana iul congregations attended TO hear Their saiu

There was very large concourse Of persons yes

nary Sundays Is Of very high character;
but yesterday, IL being the festival OF Easter,
the musical services were Of q most varied and
beautiful kind. The ch0ir-a large one OF men aud
boysis, perhaps one OF the finest In the country,
and yesterday they dlscoursed various catncaral M
Handlers Messiah with wonderful accuracy and
finish. DR.. James Pech organist OF Trinity parish,

Rev. w. H. Cooke sang Comfort Yer and Every
Valley shall be Exalted.n The chortses, "And the
Glory OF the Lordn and the "Haelujah' chorus,
