THE GLORY OF THE REsURREC-
TION.
SYNOPSIS OF REV. FATHER o'sULLIvAN's
SERMON Az 81. PETER's.

SYNOPSIS OF REV. FATHER osULLlvAN's
SERMON AT 81. PETERS.
At st. Peters Catholic church yesterday
Father OSullivan preached upon THE Glory
of the Resurrection" After speaking of the
crucifxion, allusion was made to the glory,
the joy, and the blessing tho church sums up
in her "alleluia" she sings all day long.
God makes all the days that fill up the
circle of the year; but there is no day like
Easter. On Easter morning the blessed soul
of the Redeemer that had descended to limbo
returned to tho body which had been resting
in the tomb guarded by the Roman soldiers.
Tho historic evidence that Christ rose from
the tomb on the third day after His death is
most certain. The evidence in support Of the
fact of the resurrection has stood the criti-
cism of eighteen centuries, and the
ablest and most determined opponents
of the Christian faith have failed to disprovc
the truthfulness Of the gospel record. The
resurrection Is the cornerstone of the Chris
tians faith and the anchor of the Christian q
hope. The glorious resurrection of Jesus was
preceded by thirty-three years of trouble
and three days of the bitterests u1ering.
N"Walk then, in the footsteps Of our Re-
deemer; bear the cross after Him. Only by
dying with Christ can we hope to 1.-Two with
Him. If it behooved Christ to suffer, and
by suffering to enter into His glory, much
more doth it behoove us to suffer and to die to
this world as condition of sharing in the
peace happiness and joy OF our risen Lord"
The altar was very tastefully decorated

TRIUMPHANT OVER DEATH.
REV. DIR. ADDfsoN's EASTER SERMON A
TRINITY r, Il, CHURCH.

REV. DR.. ADDtsONS EASTER bERMON AT
TRINITY r. +. CHURCH.
At Trinity p. r. church Rev. Dr. Addison
preached from Matthew xxxviii,. 7. Many
centuries before Christ trod the streets Of
Jerusalem, God, by splendid prophecies Of q
future Messiah, had placed Israel In national
isolation. There was a divinely established
ceremonial, an elaborate priesthood, line of
phophets, all revealing truth in the midst of
q dark age. There was gorgeous temple on
the city heights, thrice destroyed and as often
rebuilt.
The idea God wished to engraft into this
system was of n suffering but reiRning
Messiah--one who should taste death, but
emerge triumphant. The fundamental prin-
ciples Judaism thus demanded resurrection,
Speaking from the shadows Of antiquity,'a
Judaism was myth. Tho event was pre-
announced. II occurred in q cultured,
accurate, and investigating age. All
these were factors Mt tho time.
He challenged enemies to prevent Ills resur-
rcction and they sont dicirlned Roman SOL
diers to guard the tomb and place upon ii the

Christ reappoarcd to competent witnesses
for forty days. These witnesses we're not de-
ceivors or deceived. Unshnken by torture,
they proclaimed the resurrection a false as
sumption, If facts could have been disproved
by tho Sanhedrlm at the time, but 10! thous-
ands ofmaligrant Jews were converted nt the
risk of death, torture, and banishment. II
takes miracle of folly To- evade tho miracle of
resurrection. Before these evangelists false
religions and PHILOSOPHERS fell--the true faith
became established. The fact Is settled, but
the truth lies deeper than ceremony. The heart
must assent. Christ must possess the soul.

WELL-BRED CHILDREN.

1t is delightful to see well-behaved
children in these days, when young
America rides rampant over all estab-
lished laws of etiquette. One meets too
many little people who act as if they
thought it of no consequence how they
behave at home. They talk loud, are
boisterous when they enter room, race
up and down stairs, and call with loud
voices from one story to another, slam
ming every door after them until the
noise is like the report of cannon, re-
CARELESS of the great annoyance and dis
comfort they infict upon all in the
house. A visitor at house where
such behavior in children is tolerated

them away from home, they can be 80

being refined and polished. True po-
likeness and good manners cannot be

the boorishness of their home manners.
But if CHI lid can be taught how to con-

at home is offensive and reprehensible
to the last degree, and in no wise to be
tolerated. Parents can train their
children to be polite OF home as well as
abroad, an d they are guilty of great
wrong if they do not accomplish it. The
first and most important element Of
good breeding is consideration for the
feelings Of others.

An Elephant on the Battle Field.

There is n beautiful story of an old
elephant engaged IN II battle on the
plains of India. He was a standard
bearer, and carried on his huge back
the royal ensign, the rallying point of
the Poona host. At the beginning of
the fight he lost his master. The
"mahout,' or driver, had just given
him the word to halt, whea he re-
ceived fatal wound, and fell to the
ground, where he lay under heap of
slain. The obedient elephant stood
still while the battle closed round
him and the standard he carried.
He never stirred a foot, refused to
advance or retire, at the conflict be-
came hotter and fierce until The
Mahrattas, seeing the standard still
flying steadily in its place, refused to
believe that they were being beaten
and rallied again and again around
the colors. And all this while, amid
the din Of battle, the patient animal
stood straining its ears to catch the
sound of that voice it would never
hear again. AT length the tide Of
conquest left the field deserted. The
Mahrattas swept on in pursuit of the
flying foe, but the elephant, like a
rock, stood there, with the dead and
dying around, and the ensign waving
in its place. For three days and
nights it remained where its master
had given the command to halt. No
bride nor threat could move it.
They then sent to the village, one
hundred miles away, and brought the
"mahout's" little son. The noble
beast seemed then to remember how
the driver had sometimes given his
authority to the little child, and i'm
mediately with all the shattered
trappings changing as he went, paced
quietly and slowly away. -.

EIGHT DAYS IN A sNoWDRIFr

Instances are not wanting of the
almost-miraculous preservation OF hu-

at the village Of Impington, about three
miles from Cambridge. On the I'd OF
February, 1899, Mrs. Elizabeth Wood

lage, on returning home from market
was overtaken by a snowdrift. Lying
down beside hedge, she was complete
ly enveloped, and remained there until
the 10th of the month"; period OF eight
days and eight nights. During the IN
terval, one of the villagers is said to
have dreamed, on three different occa-
sions, that hare was to be found at q
certain spot ct the roadside near the
village. Immediately after the last oc'
casion, he resolved to go and see; and,
on doing so, he discovered handker-

Drawing it Fine.

We understand that last SATURDAY
afternoon the janitors of the Chris
tan and First Presbyterian Churches
discovered that the sacramental wine
was out. The officers of the churches
sent them to one Of our druggists for
wine sufficient for the occasion. The
druggists would not let them have it
without prescription. Both church
es howev1rwere equal to the cmergcn
cy, as a physician in each church
gave prescription for the wine, stat
ing that it was for sacramcntal pur-
poses. Judge Richard recent decision,
it seems to us, does not allow wines
to be sold for such purposes by drug
gists, even with prescription. The
decision was in substance, that a
druggist could not sell without H.
cense, except for medical purposes,
upon the prescription of a physician

BIRTH OF THE MOON.

At present, no doubt, the effect Of the
tides in changing the length Of the day
is very small, writes Prof. Bah in Nat
ure. A day now is not apparently long
er than day ii hundSed years ago.
Even in thou and years the change in
the length of the day is only the fraction
of second. But the Importance of the
change arises from the fact that the
change, slow though it is, lies always in
one direction. The day is continually
increasing. In millions of years the ac-
cumulated effect becomes not only APP
preciable but even Of startling magni-
tude. The change in the length Of tina
day must involve q corresponding change
in the motion Of the moon. This is by
no means obvious. 1t depends upon am
elaborate mathematical theorem. lean
not attempt to prove this for y0u,, butt
think l can state the result 30 thsh iii can
be understood without the proof. Tf the
moon acts on the earth and reSGrds the
rotation of the earth, 80, conversely,
does the earth react upnA the moon.
The earth is tormented hY the moon, so
it strives to drive away its prosecutor.
At present the moon psvolves around
the earth at distance Of about 24O, 600
miles. The reaction Of the earth tend 8
to increase that distance and to force the
moon to revGlVe, in an orbit which is
continually getting larger and larger.
Here, them We bave two remarkable
consequences If the tides which are in
sepanably connected. Remember, also,
that We are not enunciating any mere
speculative doctrine.
These results are the inevitable conse-
quences Of the tide. II the earth had
no seas or oceans, no lakes or rivers, il
it were an absolute rigid solid Throughout
its entire mass then these changes would
not take place. The length Of the day
would never alter, and the distance Of
the moon would only fiuctuate between
marrow limits. AS thousands of years
roll on, the length Of the day increases,
second by second, and the distance o.
the moon increases, mile bymile. These
changes are never reversed. 1t is tba
old story of the perpetual dropping. A
the perpetual dropping wears away the
stone so the perpetual action of the tides
has sculptured out the earth to the
moon, and still the action of the tides
continues. To-day is longer than yes

day before. A million years ago the day
