The speaker alluded to the day, and congratu-
lated the congregation upon the large
number who had come up to observe the duty
which the day brought. 1t was on Easter
morning nearly nineteen hundred years ago,
that theswomen came to the tomb OF our Sa-
viour to perform pious duty. Very early IN
the morning they came laden with spices ana
precious ointments to perform those last SAD
rites which the age demanded and which Inc
coming of the Sabbath had prevented. ihey
came to find that O wondrous miracle had peen
wrought and that him they mourned as dead
had through his own power and might burst
the fetters of the tomb, and by this act given
to the work an incontestible evidence OF his
divinity. Christ the king of kings had won
the greatest victory earth ever saw-the VIC
tory over death. When the great men OF earth
die they are laid away IN the
tomb, and for earth their end
has come, but when the man Christ died his
reign had only just begun. His victory over
death was only the beginning of his con-
quests. He has no need of fleets and armies.
His victories are won by the power OF his
words. His name strikes terror to the hearts
of the wicked. His battles are fought by his
church, not with the carnal weapons of other
kings, but with the weapons of truth-his
word. The church which he planted on earth
is still victorious over sin and the enemy. 1t
has been planted and nourished by the
blood of its martyrs and[will never be van
qulshed. Christ's greatest victory was over
the hearts of men-subduing them and plant
ing in them faith in his name. All of his
followers were earnestly exhorted to prove
worthy of their divine master.
At the close of the sermon the annual col
lection for the orphan asylum was taken
up, the preacher exhorting the congregation
to give literally, as God had given them.

SHAKEN CHIOS.
FOUR THOUSAND PERSONS KILLED.

LONDON, April 16.-The correspondent
of the Times in Chios says: l have now
made, from personal observation and
with the help of others, pretty thorough
canvass of the state of affairs throughout
the island. The total number dead IS
scarcely less than 1000, although some
allowance may be due the fact that i'm
mediately after the disaster many per
sons crossed to the main land and some
of those now reported dead may be there.
The villages on the south side of the
island are all wrecked, hardly single
house being left standing. The
center of volcanic action seems to
have been near Menita, looking
Metals bay, on the east coast, where 800
persons perished out of population of
1900; at Vounos 26 perished out of pop
ulation of 600; at Philatia 60 out of 250;
at Kalamonti 40 out of 1900; at Armalia
80 out of 600, and at Viney 80 cut of 4SO.
On the western side of the island, and at
Mesta, many houses fell, but nobody was
killed At Verta three-fourths of the
buildings were wrecked, but only one
person killed At Lethi % persons were
killed out of 600, and at ArOnonia 40 out
of 400. At Anabatos IL were killed. This
is the most northerly town on the west
side which suffered severely. Other towns
were severely shaken but are not in ruins.
The district of Chic and towns southeast
of it suffered most. Kallimosia is simply
a mass of ruins and it is difficult TO dis
tinguish one house from another. l can
| not conceive how any considerable num-
Der Of the population escaped, but only
44O perished out of 1900. The neighbor-
ing villages suffered similarly Seven of
the principal ones containing $3.50 people
are believed to have lost 1927 dead. AT
least nine -tenths of the houses in the
southern and southwestern portions Of
the island must be rebuilt or repaired. The
population is now camping out and there
| is great need of food and shelter. The
northern part requires help, but to less
extent. Those severely wounded are be-
ing brought to Chios by men from the
| ships. The work of clearing away the
ruins has begun here, but in the villages
the people are still panic stricken and lit
| tie can be done as long as
the shocks continue. Of 200 persons who
perished in Thelopolomai, only sixty five
of the bodies have been recovered, and a
