is thought TO make the university too much
of a military ACADEMY IL is one thing TO work
to build up a presentable battalion and en-
tirely another TO expect students who spend

THOUGHTS ON EASTER.

There are indications of an early spring, though it is hardly safe to proph- esy that we shall have no more snow. nor occasions for overcoats and mittens. Easter comes early. It will be a ceL- tury before it will came as early again, We shall fall into line here. We shall have Easter services and the pastor will preach on "The necessity of the Resurrection, from Acts 26:S, Why with you, that God should raise the dead?r While we believe in going on unto perfection, as is urged in Heb. 6:ll, we all believe in, after reiterating the which the resurrection of the dead is one. It says in the apostles creed, 'On the third day Jesus Christ arose from the dead" May it be the indescribable joy and blessedness of you, dear readers of THE BEE, to arise to the resurrection of the just. Some of us may not live to see another Easter in this world. It matters not if we have the name of God written on our foreheads according to Rev. 7 B. If God seals us as his own, it will be we'll beyond time. It will be we'll forever.
