Curious Case Of III Ist2ken Identity.

Net long ago a man was run over ana
killed by the cars at Evanston, in the
neighborhood of Chicago. The body
was identified as that of Josiah Hill,
a resident of South Bend, Ind, who
had been at work on farm at Wlnnet-
ka, five miles from Middletown. The
widow and daughter were incensolable
and quite broken down after the coro-
n-r's inquest (Which found Josiah

CLOSE OF LENT.
The Crncin xiOn and Resurrection
Of the saviour.

Lent closes to-day. For forty days
the followers of Christ have been in the
desert Of mourning and humiliation,
but the season of prnitence Is nearing
its close, and in . few days they will
be Joining in peans Of joy and praise
commemorative Of the Savior's triumph
over sin and death. There is no time
to the church like Eastertide. With
Christmas she has recollections of the
birth of Christ, but with Easter comes
the resurl 9 ;tion, the corner stone upon
which the structure OF Christendom
stands. Eighteen and Q half centuries
have slipped by since that Sabbath
day when the Roman guards kept SEN
try over the sepulchre in which the
remains If the Christ crucified had
o been laid. !.
"On the third day shall rise again, y
He had said to His murderers, and
they, fearing that Fshe predictions OF
the man whom they had secuted as
false prophet might still BE- fulfilled,
induced Pontius pilats TO surround the
tomb with a Gordon of Knights Of the
Empire. But futile were the precau.
tions. The Sabbath passed away, aud
then came Mary with spices to perform
her mission of mercy. The scene
which met her gaze showed that the
prediction had been fulfilled. The
guards were speechless. The ponder
Gus stone no longer blocked the mouth
Of the tomb, but, some distance away
was aiIording a seat for an angel
Greater than all, where once was th'
corpse the Savior himself appeared il
glory. 1t is this grand event which
on Sunday the Church commentaries
and the Toices Of Joy and praise fill!
demonstrate the continued devotion
Christendom to the anniversary of tn
dawn of the Church.
Extensive and elaborate preparation
are made in churches the world owe
for the celebration Of the season. r.
pecially is this true of America. Grea
pains are taken in the Episcopal church
es in preparing the sacred edices.-
Sanctuaries, asles and pillars are dH'
GRATED with flowers, and the rrsula
formula of the Book Of Common Praye
is superseded by a SPECIAL service
Special musical services are also Grei
