The Day OF All Days When No Humns
Being Should Despair.
The resurrection always followB
death. We shall spring into new life
out of the duller and outer darkness.
That's the truth about men and that's
the truth about nations. Until nations
are struck by the second death, as some
nations have been, from which there Is
no resurrection-and we are very far
from that, 1 think-we Me bound to
look forward to a better life right here
and a nobler life. l saw picture once
in Chicago that seemed to tell the story
of the nations. One great figure was
looking backward on wreck and ruin,
with no hope in her eyes and no expec-
tation Of new life there. The other was
looking forward eagerly and hopefully
toward a new world that was rising.
The eyes that were looking backward
were dark and sad. and full Of regret
for the past. The eyes that were look
ing forward were gray and clear-proph-
cts eyes-and full Of light touched
with Joy. That's the look we should
give on human life, for 1t rises into
immortal life for which our Easter fes-
tival stands as a reminder. That's
the look we should give to the nation
to which we belong, which has still the
new world before 1t, and which Is des-
tined to be the greatest and best, as l
believe, the world ever saw.

noon. not In her dream, but In reality.
Now where was John? The reader
knows more than Esther did as yet.

on the island for many long days and
nights, watching for some passing ves-

Then followed the voyage onward TO

leaps upon It's prey, The Scraps ported
as IL severed by a knife. She dived
down and the next wave rolled over her
with a kissing surge of triumph. A
great seachest floated out; he grasped
1t In the nick of time and spun out with
It from the deadly embrasure which
was the grave of the vessel.
How long John Maddox floated that
horrible night he could not remember.
The tide had set toward the shore again,
and he neared a small inlet where the
current ran like a mlllrace. Dead bod
les were strewed along the beach, and
huge, lazy cormorants floated In the
morning twilight above his head, look
ing like specter vampires.
He had almost reached the shore when

solitary survivors Of the wreck Of the
Scraps.

covered somewhat; "iet us thank God

Easter Morning.

With what Joyous anticipation the
ringing Of the bells on Easter morning
floods the mind 1t is summons to
celebrate the passage Of the gloomy
period of winter and cold, during which
the earth has slept and all nature has
stagnated, buried under a mantle OF
snow and ice. The warmth Of the sun
has released the brooks and filled the
air with a golden mist and the brood
ing spirit of a new creation hovers over
the land. The period Is symbolical OF
the resurrection Of all bright and glor-
Ious things, and the season appropri-
ate for the celebration Of the greatest
event In the history Of Christendom,
the resurrection Of Christ.
On this day all thoughts Of young and
old are turned toward the future. 1t
"a a day consecrated to hope, and 1t is
a Christian duty to exert all our
strength to throw off the depressing
influences Of the past and take courage
and resolution In the blessed promises
of the future. In the beautiful land
which we have inherited doubt and dis
couragement have no place. Every in-
fiuence WaIted Dy the great hBehcieu
Of civilization, the press, the pulpit. and
the far-reaching lines Of transportation
which traverse the country from end to
end, Is exerted for the amelioratlon and
advancement Of the people. The depres-
sion which the past year has witnessed
will soon be forgotten In a revival OF
Industry and restored confidence. Pro
phets OF evil win find their occupation
less and less IN accord with prevailing

when he and Esther should walk its
howery pilgrimage together.
His ship. the Scraps, conveyed a Brit
iBh regiment to India. When he reached
Plymouth the quaint old streets were
oiled with a crowd gathered to see the
Fedcoats pass to the beach.
The vessel sailed away amid women's
sobs and mems hurrahs. and that Sun
day morning they watched her drift
until the highest peak faded against
en- opalescent sky and she disappeared
below the dip Of the sea.
