EASTER SUNDAY,
Paper Read by Member of Glass B. I

Easter Sunday is time which comes in the
spring. sometimes earlier or later, varying much
though some have never thought or cared to ask
why. time noticeable and noticed because at
this time it seems to be the duty of the female
portion of humanity to appear in new bOnnetS
of the very latest style and as expensive as can
be afforded, and it is their delight to appear at
| church trifie late with it poised nicely on the
head. There is always fine music suitable to the
occasion, the flowers are just too lovely for any
thing and the sermOn-whO could be expected
to listen to a sermon be it ever so good, with so
much new millinery to distract the attention?
Coming as it does at the end of Lent. during
which time women are supposed to be repenting
in sack-clOth and ashes, and, doubtless filled
with sorrow because obliged to assist in the
making of all these new things, it seems that it
should have some connection with it. The great
| majority are so busy with the symbol that they
almost lose sight of the reality The choir may
sweetly sing HE Is RiSen,'' yet the soprano is
only wondering if she is more becOmingly dressed

had been possible to have had the dress just
triffe lOOser, ditto gloves double ditto Shoes yet
if ever there is a time when the thoughts of the
world should be lifted above all vanity above
material things, it is at this time. No matter in
what light we consider the NaZarene, whether as
God in human form who came into the world for
| the express purpose of being crucified for the
salvation of Sinners or as a human being like
| ourselves, born of parents like ourselves, there
is that in His life and death which must COM
mend itself to the most careless thinker. AS a
man. simply, He stands forth as the grand en-
bOdiment of incarnate goodness, as an example
such as the world has never known before or
since. We do we'll to observe His birthday with
| rejoicing, even the angels in heaven did that
| and the wise men of the East jOurneyed long
way to do honor to the new born King who
would restore again the Kingdom of Israeli
We also do we'll in rejoicing in His resurrection,
only three days before there was great sorrow in
the land, sorrow in which even nature Sympa-
| thZed, for young man who not yet having
| reached the prime of lfe was ANONYMOUSLY put
to DEATH His life had been one of purity and
self-sacriice. blessing to all who lived in that
time. and to us today an example we should aim
to follow. Let us then cease dealing with super
ficialities and dig deep and long to get at the
root of sacred things, for there can be nothing
too sacred for everyday use so long as the use of
it is to make our lives better and humanity in
general less selfish. Let us think deeply of this
day, then Easter will reveal to us its hidden
meaning and we will go forth to make our lives
purer and better

There is confined in the Detroit Mich, house
of correction, woman named May Wiman, con-
victed of the crime of larceny. An old soldier
named William Benjamin, who draws pension
of SIG month and is able to work, has made ap-
plicatiOn for her release, promising to marry and
reform the woman. giving responsible bOndsmen
for the performance of his contract. He agrees
to report to the state authorities any tendency
on her part to wrOng-dOing or to seek evil COM
paniOns and to make truthful report each
month of her conduct. If he can reform the
woman it would appear as if there was no good
reason why the governor shouldn't give the old
man a chance.-Stillwater Gazette.

EASTER SUNDAY.

Easter Sunday was appropriately observed at
the prison. In the morning the Rev. G. A.
Cressy, of the NJ. E. church of this city, delivered
an able address. In the afternoon, in accord
ance with the usual custom, the Easter services
were conducted by the Rev. A. d. Stowe. of the
Episcopal church, Bishop Gilbert preaching the
Easter sermon, which was a powerful and elO-
quent plea. The services were opened with an
anthem by the choir of the Ascension church.
which was followed by the reading of the 2Sth
chapter of st. Matthew as the scripture lesson.
and by prayer. After another song by the choir
Bishop Gilbert delivered sermon on COnSdera-
ton, which was listened to with the closest at
tention by the congregation. We would be do
ing an injustice to the Bishop in attempting to
give even slight synopsis of his mastery effort.
He stated that he came with the old yet ever
new message of light, hope and cheer. and adj
mOniShed his hearers that the want of cOnsidera-
ton and thought was responsible for the greater
portion of the evil in the world. No one who
listened to the sermon will ever forget the earn
est words of warning and advice uttered. The
services were closed by the singing of hymn
by the Episcopal church choir. Such large
number of visitors from the city were in attend
ance, that the seating capacity of the chapel
proved inadequate, and quite number were I'M
able to procure admission.

has been appealed to by the railway
company to suppress what has be-

trains halt at Twentieth street and
many passengers alight there
instead of going down to the depot.
Hackmen and expressmen in their
desire to catch business board the
trains ut this point and;,ride to the
depot quizzing passengers as to their
destinations and in many instances
much annoyance to patrons
OF the road, so it is said. There is
an ordinance against the boarding of

applicable to this case. He saws ar
