As will he seen by the report of the city govern
mcnt meeting there is hitch in the public library
matter. The committee reported favorably on the
Crosby lot, but two of the board of Aldermen.
Mcssrs Hall and Brown, voted against buying the
lot, the ground that in their opinion the price is
higher than is warranted by the terms of the Haz-
etine will The will says in substance that ! 900
shall be used for the building and the purchasing
of books, and $4,000 invested, the income to be
used in keeping the library insured, for fuel.
lights, and other expenses clause says that the
giver does not wish to be arbitrary in the matter,
but these sums may be varied according to the
good Judgment of the city government. We all
know that the interest $4,000 will be totally in
adequate for the purposes named in the will and
why not take advantage of the discretion allowed
and procure good building and then rely mainly
upon the income of the $4,000 legacy from the
Wilson estate, now due the city? If necessary let
the city of Belfast help out the site. Here
seems to b. an opportunity to procure very dc
sirabc lot and at the same time Il public park.
we hope this matter will be given the attention it.
deserves, as more than one local enterprise hinges
upon the purchase of this lot.

A General Invitation.

The summer visitor is now an important
factor in Names prosperity, and the day is
not far distant when our state will be recognized
as the great summer sanitarium of the Atlantic
coast. Bar Harbor has already taken the first
rank among watering places, and rivals New
port in the cost and elegance of its Cottages,
while far surprising it in natural attractions
and hotel accommodations. Old Orchard draws
its thousands of visitors each season. and there
are lesser resorts almost without number which
are rapidly growing into public favor. Pitch
your tent or cottage where you may from
kittery to Quoddy Head, Oh sandy beaches
facing the ocean, on rocky promontories, or on
the sloping shores of inland bays there is no
lack of fine scenery or of pure and health
giving air. You may rough it if you choose,
or find comfortable quarters in the old seaport
towns or quiet country villages. You NAV
have deep sea or trout fishing, iiig for mackerel,
hunt the lobster with torch and spear or with
an implement not unlike Neptune'S trident
inveigle the clam from his bed to grace the
savory clam-bake. The dude will find con-
genial company on the verandahs of Bar Har-
Dor hotels; while the lover of nature can array
himself in last years clothes or serviceable blue
flannel and climb mountains or cruise along
shore to his hearts content. There is room for
everybody within Names wide borders and
sufficient variety to suit everybody's taste. In
the present issue of the journal we have set
forth the advantages of this immediate vicinity,
and extend a general invitation to all who have
not checked their trunks for other places to
come down and see us. We will give you the
best we have and try to treat you so well that
you will come again next season and bring
your friends with you. Look over the bill of

TO TIE EDITOR OF THE JOUkNAL: | am not
at all sure that understand the drift of your
respondents communication respecting the resur-
rection of Jesus. He is too intelligent and we'll
read to attempt revival OF the dead and buried
hypothesis that certain of the friends of Jesus
surreptitiously removed the body from the sepul-
chre, although this seems intimated. A ''revolting
hypothesis" Weiss rightly terms it. What the
facts! Not one but the four evangelists record
that the women found the sepulchre empty? What
became of the body? If the friends Of Jesus
moved it, it was crime without motive. If
Jesus body remained in the grave, If after his
death his sainted soul went to that heaven which
is the home of all good souls. if there was
other resurrection than this theirs most
phaticaly a lost cause. Everything went down in
utter wreck. Not even the proyerbial last plank
was left them. Why then should glowing theft" be
committed? Who was to be deceived: What end
was to be served? The friends of Jesus did not
remove his body. Nor did Joseph of Armathea
some ineXplicabe reason terms his 'wsest friends
remove the body. Why should they? Men do
not act without motive. And men, so democrat
lied as were these friends of Jesus, would need a
very strong motive. OF course neither Jewish nor
pretends this. What then became of it? That
body which was laid in the sepuchre on the eve
of the Jewish Sabbath, from the dead on the
morning after the Jewish Sabbath. Either this,
or the Gospels are not contemporaneous and cred
ible narratives. There is no other alternative.
This argument rests on the testimony of all the
Evangelists. But why should we reject Matthew'S
unsupported testimony? 1t is not coEtradictcd.
But waive this. The fact is we cannot get rid of
the resurrection without mpugning the crediblity
of the Gospel records And this is work in which
no Christian minister would care to engage.
do not altogether agree with what your CORES
pendent writes respecting the Easter festival,
do greatly differ The origin of the festival has
no bearing on the fact of the resurrection. This
communication is sufficiently long, and will add
no more At some future time, may, with your
permission, give brief history of this festival.
Very truly, j.. A. Ross.
