6. Easter teaches, our dead shall
rise again. No one could imagine the
dead mangled body of Christ would
ever live again. But facts outstripped
faith. Our dead are no more dead than
was Christ. Blessed day is this Beau
tiful prophecy of that day when, at the
trumpet sound, the dead. both small
and great, shall rise! Among them
shall be our friends, ourselves.
YWe are on our journey home
Where Christ our Lord has gone;
We shall meet around His throne
In the New Jerusalem"
We have comfort as to those already
dead. AS friend after friend hereafter
dies, the doctrine of today will be ease
for pain-balm for sorrow. And here
is cheer for our own deaths. When we
come to lie ourselves down for the last,
our comfort will depend much on the
degree of our faith in the doctrine repre-
sented by Easter.
I. Notice the spiritual Specification
of this day. Death is the symbol of
sin. While man is yet an unsaved
sinner, he is as in sepulchre-dead in
trespasses and sins. Christ's whole OBJ
ject was to rescue us from this worse
than physical death. Do not lie buried
in sin longer. Break the bonds of the
tomb. Roll the rocks away from your
hearts. Leave the sepulchre. Turn to
Christ today. Rise and meet your risen
Lord. This will be to you then as
resurrection. This would be truly an
Easter day to your soul.

sake to endure danger. Seek with all

~. How did Mary know Jesus ?
She had the experience which many
precious souls have to-day. She recog-
nized him when she discovered that he
knew her. The foundation of the dis
ciple's recognition of the Lord and con-
fidence in him as a living, loving, help
ing friend is the constant discovery

EASTER DAY.
LARGE ATTENDANCE AT ALL TIE
CHURCHES.

Stormy Easter Did Not Keep Peo-
pie from Church Beautiful Floral
Decorations-C Concerts at the Sow
eral Churches.
For the first time in many years we
had stormy Easter. The rain which
begun Saturday continued through
Sunday with slight intermissions, yet
the attendance at all the churches was
large. In all the churches there were
beautiful floral decorations and the pro-
grams of Easter music as announced
last week were given. But a briefmen-
ton can be made of the services where
an extended description was intended ;
for the terrible floods which have pre-
vailed through this section have neces-
!, STATED the crowding out of some mat
tiers that would have otherwise been
given. Through the kindness Of the
pastors, an outline of the sermons is
is given, as we'll as the Fast day sermon
preached by Rev. Ellsworth Fullerton
at the Methodist church.
The services at st. Charles church
were the masses, no sermon being
preached. AT Emmanuel church there
was early communion and morning
prayer before the regular service and in
the evening carol service by the chill
dren. Sunday evening the children of
the Universalist church gave a concert
and there were similar exercises at
the Baptist church. The concert at
the Methodist church was given in the
morning because of the absence of the
pastor. The program of the concert at
the Congregational church Sunday
evening, received too late for publica-
ton last week, is appended.

Congregational Church.

AT the Congregational church Easter
morning Rev. Ellsworth Fullerton said:
"Our text this Easter morning is in
John Xxx: 1.-two words, "Mary,"
"Rabboni," and our subject "Some
Lessons from Our Savior's First APP
pearance after His Resurrection The
catkins are putting on their gray coats.
The maple buds are swelling. Our
Easter this year is largely faith Eas-
ter, yet even though coming slowly
what wonder and delight the spring
time brings to us. The hidden bulb
puts forth its shoot and flower. Life
rules the world. Life follows death.
Death is but the dream. Life is the
final reality.
The spring time brings us the Easter
Sunday. With choicest flowers and
song and, we hope, with sincerest joy
and devotion we commemorate the res
direction of Christ our Savior, the God
man, from the cruel grave, and the
risen hope that we too shall rise tri-
umphant over the grave. Among the
many aspects of the story shall we take
this morning the meeting of Mary
Magdalene and the Savior. "Mary,"
"Rabboni.n
The apostles were paralyzed with
fear, disappointment and grief. There
was nothing more that mortal man
could do. But woman, timid and
shrinking in prosperity, finds her cour-
age when man loses his. Her faithful
ness is but the more aroused and burns
the brighter when misfortune and de-
feat overcome the object of her affec-
lions. There was something for mortal
woman to do. The dear form hurried
into the tomb on Friday must be pre-
pared in a suitable way for burial.
Among the noble, true-hearted women
who came to embalm Christ was Mary
Magdalene and our Lord appeared first
of all to her. Shall we learn from the
story of our Savior's appearance to
Mary how lie appears to His disciples
to-day.
I. Our Lords appearance to His own
is an actual personal appearance. The
Christ is not memory, historical
story. Christianity is no mere philoso-
ply or creed. Christianity is the per
sonal touch of soul and soul. "The
Lord is my shepherd" ''He leadeth
me-" He is with His own, personally
lovingly, helpfully. He calls us by our
first name, MARY"
Ii. Do you note, Dear Friends, that
the Christ chose first to appear to a
private soul. There was no official
present. 1t was personal interview
of the Savior with a private soul. The
root of that tree called the Church,
whose leaves are for the healing of the
nations, is the private personal expert
ence of the private individual soul. II
is allowed to each one to go alone in
our own individuality directly to the
Savior.
III. Our risen Lord appeared partic.
ularly to the disciple most faithful, low
ing and instant. If you would see the
risen Savior and have him speak to

From London Truth
The first great discovery I made is that
mushrooms are the most digestible article
of die. known, being Disposed OF by the
average human digestive apparatus in one
hour and twenty minutes. Being very fond
CT mushrooms, but having always suspect
ed their virtues, this takes great weight
off my mind, and I am looking forward to
many happy days during the mushroom
season, Another interesting discovery is
that the banana Is the most digestible of
fruits, digesting in one hour and forty-fve
minutes, against four hours for walnut
or chestnut, and four hours and five min
utes for a raisfn.
A rock, it seems, IS the toughest morsel
man can eat, taking him six hours to nego-
tiate, while lark snipe is assimilated
in two hours. If our authority is to be
trusted you had better live on roast pork
than rock pie. for dish Of roast pork only
lasts five hours and thirty minutes before
ii is finally absorbed. 1 never heard of any
body but an agricultural laborer eating
rock and, if it took him six hours to COM
plete the process. 1t is question whether
we feeble jewellers in towns would ever
accomplish 1t. I fear that rock would
finish me before I finished the rock.

From the Morning Oregonan-
Oregon has had a number of women
who have distinguished themselves in va
rious ways, some in literature, some in
art, some as slayers Of wild beasts. others
as increasers Of the population, some by
climbing mountains, others by tumbling
down them, and so on, but a deed Of
bravery has lately been done by a Port
land woman which 1t Is quite certain no
other woman In the state, and probably
no other woman in the world. has nerve
enough even to attempt. This woman is
employed in a large establishment on Sd
street. and her name must be kept secret
to prevent tho place being overrun by peo-
pie anxious to see the woman who is so
brave.
There are quite number of other women
employed in the same room, as well as
several men. day or two since rat

catch and kill him. This was easier said
than done, for the rat was agile and daring
and fed from one ambush to another, while

ceiling like flies If they had been able.
There was one exception-the brave
woman who has immortaiized herself She
stood her ground. and finally, when the rat
had been poked from behind a barrel and
was dashing across the floor almost over
her feet. she "scrouched" down and let her
skirts touch the floor and captured the
rat, and when 1t endeavored to push its
way out she swatted it over the head and
laid it out. This is fact, and If any per-
son in any country can produce similar

the part Of a woman he can take the
bakery.

the Manahoacs or Monocans, peopling up

furious war was raging between the 1ro-
quois and Delawares when Smith founded
jamestown, and it was long and doubtful
until the Iroquois got the aid Of the Mono

peace, which was granted them on condi-

Housed in and Almost Forgotten at
the kittery Navy Yard.
From the Lewiston Journal.
The venerable old frigate Constitution, Of
glorious memory. now lies. stark and gaunt.
at the dock in the almost deserted navy
yard at Kittery. She is housed in, and
with her cld-fashioned lines. her sides
tumbling home, as 1t is said, when tey
incline inward. her stern gallery, in which
her captains were wont to take the air
and their pipes and arrack in pleasant
weather. she presents a quaint sight.
OF the original ship only small section
of the deck and few iron stanchions re-
main. But she was rebuilt much upon her
original lines in 1913 and 1876, first by the
son and again by the grandson of Hart.
her original builder. so that she is practi-
cally the same ship which outsailed Ad-
miral Broke's squadron and outfought
everything at which she backed her topsails
The Portsmouth people regard her as their
own individual property, and raise an aw-
full howl every time it is proposed to take
her away.
1t was, however. a mere accident that SIZE
happened to go out Of commission at Kit
terry navy yard about fifteen years ago,
and the navy being then in the chaotic
state which preceded the creation CT the
new navy. she simply was allowed to re-
main there. Her guns were of no Sc
and of no historic value, as those with
which she had walloped the Guerrero,
the Java. the Cyane and the Levant had
long gone the way Of destruction.
So her armament was removed and every
thing else of value. She was housed in
and left to her fate. Her planking is de-
caying, but as long as her stout timbers
stay in the water they will keep as hard as
iron.
1t is thought that some time in the next
few years the Constitution will be refitted
like the Constellation and made into a
training ship for boys also. Like the Con-
stellation, she has never had steam in Ler,
but when she has been rugged with great
square sails and given a spreading canvas
worthy of her. she has been known to leg
1t at fourteen-knot gait during the best
part of cruise.
These two frigates are the sole survival
of the great frigates Of the poetic age"
Of the navy. and not all the steel battle
ships going can altogether deprive them ct
their usefulness. The Kittery navy yard is
as dead as Hector for the present. The
people grumble at 1t and complain because
the modern steel ships are not built or even
repaired here.

only the continuation of series of wind

during the past five or six years. A little

like the Osages in Oklahoma and the Puyal-
lups and Yakimas In the state of Wash
ington, are even richer; but as compared
with the richest white races of Europe and
America, the wealth of the Delawares Is
nearly five times as great per capita as
that of the Inhabitants of the British
Islands, nearly six times that of the gen.
eral population of the United States, over
zine times that of Germany. and over
twenty-six times that of Russia: for the
best authorities place the per capita wealth
Of Great Britain at 1926. that of the

equally famous in history and romance.
For over a century they were moved

exodus
A recital of their pilgrimages from the
land of their fathers to their present home
1000 miles away, and of the successive
changes in their condition from wild saw
ages to wealthy modern citizens, makes a
unique story. When Capt. John Smith
landed In Virginia, the Delawares occupied
all of eastern Pennsylvania. that part Of
New York between the Highlands and the
Connecticut river, all of New Jersey, and
the upper part Of Delaware state. They
