ChrI,t'. Hesurrcplton, >, nj, ,torical FACT.

Ghri>t's Resurrection, "a Bi i.t0rlcat Fact,
The Rev. William A. Walling preached TO
about sixty members OF the knights of ST.
John and Malta yesterday morning in Della
ware Avenue Baptist Church. The church
was beautifully decorated and special Eas-
ter music was rendered by the choir. A
large congregation was present.
The preachers subject was THE Resur-
rection OF Christ n Historical Fact" As an
introduction he spoke of Y !, origin of the
term Easter, and spoke of iiow the term was
used in the Bible. Mr.. Mailing said in part:
All present believe in some kind of future
life. None say that when death comes that
ends ALL Men believe in some future exis-
tence. What always puzzled me was that
men who believe that they will live hereaf-
ter do not believe that God raised the dead
II they deny Christ's resurrection they deny
all resurrection.
One of the great problems that battle men
is how could ChrIst's body be changed. The
preacher spoke of the changes that man
could make and said that it Was probable
that God could make much greater ones.
In speaking of the truth of the resurrec-
ton, he said that histories of the United
States were written by men who did not see
the events they recorded. but wrote from
what they heard and what eye witnesses
told them. Luke wrote in this manner.
they had heard and seen. Continuing Mr..
Walllng said all these are good witnesses
to the resurrection. because it to their
detriment to believe that Jesus rose.
These men had to bar their doors for fear
of death and some We're compelled to leave
home
Whatever were the facts of the resurrec-
tion Paul must have found out the truth,
He was at one time an enemy of the Gospel
and denied the resurrection He was II
prominent lawyer of his time. II the Jews
had the body of Christ Paul would have pro-
duccd it, and never accepted Christianity.
On the other hand when he became n Chris
tian and became a member of the inner
church, he would have known whether the
Christians had the body and were teaching
falsely He would have been glad to have
revealed the fraud and gone back to his
people. He would have been the greatest
man of the times.
He examined into the facts and found that
Christ had appeared to His disciples and to
more than 500 persons. The explanation of
the Hebrews in this city is impossible with
out Christ. These Jews are preaching
Christ by being here. No fact in history Is
30 we'll attested.

judge insisted.

jury. II guess the balance of US will

Certainly, gents" relied his honor,
and laid his gun down inthe corner.
In a few minutes all the Others had
done the same, excepting the sheriff and
his deputy, who were not included, and
twenty-three pistols were reposing
peacefully on the floor
"Now, gents" said his honor, sud

IN GEORGIA ISLANDS.
William Watson.

From the Independent
The singing angel. Israfil.
The leader of the heavenly choir,
Stood silent on his shining hill,
Relinquished at his feet the Tyre.
For, from the rice fields sodden sedge.
Up from the brake of tangled cane,
Along the seas low southern edge,
In plaintive minors rose a strain.
Low breathings from the heart of toll,
OF souls that pant in seething suns,
OF forms that crumble to the soil,
Unheeded as the stream that runs
It's sluggish current through the sand,
And sinks, the useless journey done,
Beneath the barren, fru.tless land
That thrives no better for the boon.
To change this signing breath for song,
That were task for Israfil,
Heaven needs not music all day long,
High throned from pain and mortal Ill.
The singing angel took his Tyre,
And fioated downward where the day
Had paled In night its searching fire
And the low world In silence lay.
To every dusky, listening heart
There stole the song of Israfil;
He sang Of that high world apart,
Where morning stars together still
Sing Of the land without night,
Which feels no heat Of earthly sun,
Where all stand white in Gods clear light
with tears and toll and parting done!
Now chants OF labor all day long
Float up from ditch and field and fen,
The note Of hope Is In the song,
AS hand to hand the dusky men
Fill their low calling with their might;
The light heart gilds the empty lot.
When songs are given in the night
The Ills Of day are counted not.
The glad, bright angel. Israfl.
Tho leader Of the golden choir,
Sings with them on his beauteous hill,
Triumphant In his hands the Tyre!

MESSAGE OF THE TOWN.

Look up to the stony arches
Where Art and Mammon meet:
There's a sound where traffic marches.
A call In the city street.
For voice Is ever ringing:
'Gird up thy loins and flee:
will harden your heart or break 1t
II you will abide with me-"
Go forth with noble yearning,
Give heed to the griefs Of men,
And the years will find you turning
To that mOcklng voice again.
Which ever recurrent whispers.
Like the chant OF the restless sea,
Il will harden your heart or break It
II you will abide with me-"
No time for the touch Of gladness,
Nor yet for the boon of tears;
We toss In a cloud OF madness.
Whirled round by the whirling years,
And an echo fingers always.
From which we are never free:
II will harden your heart or break II
II you will abide with me-
Aye. carve II In iron letters
High over your widest gate.
Since we all must wear the letters
Who seek the appointed fate;
And the winds shall bring the message
Through all of the days that be:
81 will harden your heart or break II
II you will abide with me-
