taneous and unartifcial outbreak which the
news of redemption might occasion. but 1t is
thoughtful. 1t has a long history before 1t.
ana mas run through course Of feeling be-
fore 1t has become what 1t Is. The day Of
the resurrection was day of restitution and
compensation. Then, my brethren, how great,
how sacred, how sublime the theme which the
church places before us for contemplation.
Hence there is only one subject for today
Christ's resurrection. Easter is re-
markable for this, that 1t seems to take the
most stupendoust thoughts, and through the
familiar personality OF Jesus bring them to
mems apprehension and affection. Just as
tnese MOWERS which adorn Gods altar have
taken the inhnites and mysterious forces Of
nature, and put them into clear shapes of
visible beauty SO, Easter, the flower Of the
year. takes the fihmeasurable truths of i'm
mortality and holds them to us in a beauty
that we all can see and love.
The existence of the Christian religion, in
spite of every possible obstacle to it's estab-
hshment at its rise. and to its continuance
ever after, is a fact which, unless we admit
the truth OF the miracles of Christ and Of His
apostles in confirmation of their teaching,
battles all explanation and as St. Augustine
says, would of itself be the most astounding
miracle Of them all.
Christ Jesus arose from the dead, not for
His own glory alone or the manifestation Of
His divinity, but for our instruction and i'm
provement, to know what we are to do in or
der to partake of His glorious resurrection
or the eternal happiness He has promised
us. both in soul and body. This is what st.
Paul sets forth when he says, "Since Christ
Is risen from the dead, should we also walk
in the newneSs of life" That is, since Christ
is risen from death to life, so should we also
rise from the death Of sin to the life of grace.
Let us lift up our heart and live with Him,
live new lives, high lives. lives Of hope and
love and holiness, to which death should be
nothing but the breaking away Of the last
cloud, and the letting Of the life out of it's
eternal complexion. May God give us some
such blessing for our Easter day.

COIored knights Templar at St
james, Church

Pilgrim Commendery No. %, coIored Knights
Templar, attended the services at St. James
A. M. Z. church, where Rev. c. B. Jones de-
l1vered an appropriate sermon. He said:
The history of the world is the history of
Masonry. 1t Is the oldest institution known
to man. When, in obedience to the Divine
command, the darkness receded, the new ban
tism revealed the three great charms of heaven
order, symmetry and beauty, the first prin-
ciples of Masonry
These principles were not given for any par
tfcular race or people, but to all men,
Masonry began in this country in 1913, when
the white people obtained a charter from
York" in 1871 Prince Hall and Boston Smith
obtained charter from the grand lodge of
London" and set up in the city of Boston
african Lodge No. 49," the first negro Ma
sonic body in America. From that feeble be-
ginning Masonry among negroes has f1ourshed
like palm tree. Today we are justly proud
of thirtyfour grand lodges, 1, ,150 subordinate
lodges, having a total membership Of 40 600.
This body of tried and true men control four
institutions for widows, orphans and aged
Masons, the principal ones being located in
Illinois and Pennsylvania.
Christianity in Masonry Is clearly revealed
through Solomons wonderful temple. The
plans, material, and the relation of the work
men all teach us how to prepare for the
heavenly temple.
Masonry is a moral and religious institution.
Its working tools are those of the visible
church. Within its laws and constitution can
be found every implement necessary and all
the encouragement needed for the building of
a Virtuous life. No man who obeys it's lofty
teachings can fail to rise to a higher degree
of life and character.
The Bible is every true Mason's blazing star
Illuminating the path of life. 1t teaches him
how to travel upon the level Of time how to
walk by the plumb-line of truth, and tries
every act by the square Of virtue.
Brotherly love, relief and truth are three
cardinal principles Of Masonry. Truth is an
attribute of God. Worlds may pass away, but
truth, like God Himself, is everlasting in its
nature.
Relief is another principle. In this life,
sickness, age and death render US dependent
upon the benevolence of others. In those
dark seasons the Masonic fraternity brings
sympathy and aid
Brotherly love includes all that is noble in
human nature. 1t is the cementing tie be-
tween persons unconnected by domestic rela-
tions. 1t is a reflection Of Gods attitude
toward man; therefore it is divine. True love
Is no respector Of persons, but is blind to
color. creed, politics, country or condition,
and, with a fortitude born of Masonic prfnci-
pies. 1t stands by the divine teaching, father
hood Of God and brotherhood of man.
The principles of Masonry penetrate the re-
mctest parts of the earth, and equalize men
of every station, race and cline.

The Feature of Easter at Christ
Church.

confirmation class Of twenty -four candf-
dates was received by Bishop Gilbert at Christ
church yesterday morning, and holy COM
munion was administered at the close Of the
| service, which otherwise was of an almost
entirely musical nature.
A brief but impressive Easter greeting was
given by Rev. G.. d. Andrews, who spoke Of
the significance of the Savior's empty tomb, as
viewed by the believer or the unbeliever, one
OF whom saw in it a beautiful promise full
filed, the other seeing only it's emptiness.
Bishop Gilbert gave a similar greeting to
his old friends, saying that as one grows
older, death is more and more robbed Of its
terrors ~
He spoke of all the resurrection means.
That here we have the beginning of an i'm
mortal life, which develops in the next world.
He said that If this life was filled with that
which was worthless, with unfulflled hopes
and ambitions, what a blessing was the
thought of the life beyond.
At the close of the confirmation services
Bishop Gilbert spoke with great feeling to the
class before him, dwelling ON the beauty of
entering their new fife on the glorious Easter
day, and speaking Of the duties OF that new
life The class was large and the service I'M
pressive. The church was most beautifully
decked with flowers, mostly lilies and exotlcs.
At the left of the altar stood magnificent
cross, fully six feet high, composed entirely

cross, nearly as high as the one Of lilies, this
one being made up of smilax and La France
and Jack roses. 1t was particularly artistic
piece of work. There were many smaller
pieces, and the entire front of the church, at
the rear of the altar, was massed with lilies
and ferns The deep sills of the windows
we're also filed with flowers. The entire boys

HOODOO IN A CHAIR.
The Sad Story Told by q Well
known Lawyer in Denver.
Denver Times,

Denver Times.
One Of the prominent lawyers>of Denver has
a curious aversion for rocking chairs, and
his reason for it is still more curious. He is
not the sort of man who would be suspected
of harboring superstition, but he is the victim
Of childish fear that preys on his mind and
makes him act censpicuously peculiar at
times. At the bar he has earned reputation
as thorough lawyer, and his professional
success has brought him comfortable in
come, but he is not happy.
A few months ago he spoke to a professional
friend about his life insurance and asked ad-
vice about insuring in a certain company. His
friend was surprised that he should be think
ing of increasing his insurance knowing that
he then carried quite heavy policies, so he
asked him why he wished to burden himself
with more.
The lawyer looked embarrassed for min
ute and then said he would explain. "You
know about my dislike for rocking chairs -
he said by way of preface. "well, was care
full not to have one in my house when I got
married last year. bought every other sort
of chair, and you can find plenty of comfort

peculiar fancy to my wife, for am always
ashamed to explain the reason for It. Well
my wife, not knowing any better thought to
please me by purchasing a large cushioned
rocker, patented affair that you can altar to

put the thing IN my study and took me up to

timent within the sanctuary. The high altar
was decked with Easter lilies against a back
ground of feathery palms. smilax and maiden
hair ferns. Above the central gilt cross ap-
peared another cross of white roses and smi-
lax. The altar of the Virgin was surrounded
by white flowers only-roses and Easter lilies
and lilies Of the valley. The corresponding
side altar was decorated with roses pink red
and yellow.
The solemn high mass was celebrated by
Rev. John Lowry, assisted by the pastor Of
the church, Rev. John ]. Lawler, and by Rev.
Father Refill.
After the singing of the gospel came the
sermon, by Father Lawler
After discoursing on the Importance Of the
resurrection to Christianity, on the joyous ma
ture of Easter and the reasons why mankind
obeying the bidding of the church, should be
glad and rejoice in it. he dwelt upon Christ's
power over humanity's heart. HAS not Jesus
triumphed? Has not His influence gone forth
over mankind civilizing the savage, inspiring
noblest deeds of herolsm purifying hearts,
sanetifying homes. strengthening tender
youth and tottering age to do and to die for
the truth, planting the cross in mansion and
cottage, sending saints to supernal rest until
today the myriads on earth vie with the myri-
ads on high IN celebrating the glories of the
resurrection? The risen Savior has demanded
hcut thing in all this world to secure, and
muiutudes have given up their possessions
left their homes and said farewell to friends
for Him. and multitudes in all walks of life
have truly protested: We love thee, Jesus
above all things. Recognizing His Divine
power over mans heart. it is not surprising
that the thoughtful minds from this fact alone
have arrived at His divinity. No wonder that

NOT FOR HIS GLORY.
Christ,s Rising Was for the Benefit
Of Mankind.

At st. Peter CIaver's church Rev. James
F. Gleason spoke. Among other things he
said:
There is no language to express the joy
that should take possession Of our hearts
upon this morning when the grave was brok-
en- and Jesus arose. Words are but barren
sounds; for If We wish to realize and partici-
pate IN this same joy, we must stand by the
empty tomb and in the hush of silence feel
what speech has never told. True, the COM
memoration Of this festival of festivals diff
fuses again universal Joy throughout the
world and causes the heavens and the earth
to resound with sweet alleluias and sacred
canticles of alteration, praise and thanksgiv-
ing. What a noble, what a happy victory,
which thus threw open the gates Of heaven
to mankind! Yes, great must have been the
JOY to the Eternal Father, great to our
Blessed Lady and the angels Of heaven, and
how great indeed was it ever to be to the
universal church Of God. at Christmas we

WOMEN PHARMACISTS.
Nearly Five Hundred in the United
States Have Taken Their Degrees.

Nearly Five Hundred in the United
States Have Taken Their Degrees.
Today the pharmacist is a trained
scientist, and pharmacy has been ele-
waited to a profession, says the New
York Mail and Express. In it's present
form it has no unelean and unpleasant
features, and is therefore liked by
women. Nevertheless, 1t is only of
late years that they have overcome the
former prejudices and crossed the
threshold of the calling.
They have a natural aptitude for the
trade, on account of their constitu-
tfonal caution, deftness and delicacy Of
touch. The first woman to enter the
profession in our country was Mrs.
Jane Loring, Of Boston, in 1900 She
was grandaunt of the famous con-
gressnan. Under the old system there
was no state supervision Of the pro-
fession. and any one could take it up
who desired without any legal iInpedi-
ments. Under this system over ], 200
women became pharmacists. Of late
years, however, there has been a pro-
found change in the industry. Partly
to- prevent cempetitfon--or, rather, to
restrict it-partly to raise the profess
sional standard and partly to protect
the public, colleges of pharmacy have
country, and laws passed requiring all
candidates for the profession to pass
examination almost as strict and diff
ficult as those laid down for physicians
and lawyers. The new system has cut
down the number of candidates, both
male and female. In Massachusetts
not more than a score Of women have
passed the examination in the past
fifteen years. In New York the num-
Der Is said to be nearly fifty, and in the
various states of the Union the entire
total is below 500
Many marry and leave the calling;
a few have retired; and few have
continued their studies and have be-
come physicians or chemists. At the
present time the total number of
women who practice pharmacy either
as proprfetors, clerks or apprentices
is estimated to be about f,500
