The Resurrection.

The time may never come when science
will assert Immortality as necessary dog
ma. But it is doing something far more
helpful than that. 1t is declaring that be-
yond the utmost confines of its knowledge
lies the source of all that is, which can
only be apprehended by the intuitions of
faith. Not the Christian only today, but
reverent science it is, which puts forth the
cry of the poet
Thou wilt not leave us in the dust;
Thou madest man. he knows not why;
He thinks he was not made to die.
And thou hast made him; thou art Just.

Claggett developed morbid taste for in
vestigating the lowest haunts in the city,
including opium joints and dance saloons.
He seemed determined to find something
real bad.
One Sunday morning we were walking
down town together.
It's pretty hard for defenseless wom-
an in this town, the men are SO all fred
bad, observed Mr.. Claggett.
"You mustn't think" 1 protested,
"that New York men are all fiends; that
they all delight in bouncing upon defense

wings In the mire. Sometimes they aotu-
ally go out of their way to help innocence
and keep 1t out of the mire. But those lit
tie affairs they don't talk much about,
and they don't get in the papers.

I added bit defiantly. "You were COM

Just then we turned into Fifthravenue

A Movable Feast.

Easter is one of the movable feasts. The
prayer book gives the following rule:
Easter day is always the first Sunday
after the full moon which happens upon
or next after the 21st day of March, and if
the full moon happens upon Sunday
Easter day is the Sunday after" Conse-
quently March % is the earliest date upon
which Easter can fall and April 25 the lat
est, this year the date being April .. This
rule was adopted at the council of Nice,
A. ID. 1896, as the observance of the day
had always been upon the same day as the
Jewish Passover, which fell upon any
week day, whereas the fathers of the
church held that as Sunday was the day
of the resurrection the festival should be
held upon Sunday.

EASTER TIME IN MEXICO.
Pilates Image Burned on Saturday Before
Eager and Struggling Crowds.


Eager and Struggling Crowds.
The people of Mexico are much more
ceremonious in their observance of reli-
gious festivals than the people of the Unit.
ed States. The respect Of the more igno-
rant Is based in some measure on an almost
superstitious fear, but even the intelligent
are more earnest in the outward NANTES
tations Of their belief than the less pas
sionate people of the north. Easter is the
most sacred of the church festivals in
Mexico, and from the half savage Indian
to the wealthiest and most highly educated
people of the City of Mexico all observe it
with the ceremonies which have marked
the season for hundreds of years. These
ceremonies are not confined to Easter Sun
day. The day preceding it is of equal in
terest, If not of equal solemnity. On the
Saturday before Easter the people of Mex
leo burn Judas Isoariot in effigy.
In San Francisco street, opposite the
Jockey club hangs the most pretentious
effigy. 1t Is of pasteboard also, and it
rides a pasteboard horse. But the silver
mounted saddle the bride, the boots and
spurs and the silver spangled hat are all
genuine. The horse and the figure are
hollow, and within them are the 80 pieces
of silver and many hundred more. These
are to be distributed to the poor.
By half past IL O'Clock the windows of
the buildings all about are filed with well
dressed men and women. In the street be-
low is packed a hungry looking horde Of
ragged Mexicans. At three minutes be-
fore the noon hour a servant from the
Jockey club appears with lighted taper.
A murmur goes up from the crowd. Then
there is an expectant hush. At the first
stroke of noon on the great bell of the
cathedral the flame of the taperis put to
fuse which hangs from the swinging fig
ure. The mob sways as men struggle for
position. Tie flame sputters upward to
the mine of powder within the horse. An
explosion sends the fragments of the two
figures flying in all directions, and show
or Of coin falls on the heads Of the strug-
Cling crowd below. Some fight for the &C
couterments, some grab at the silver and
roll over and over, tearing ragged clothing
in the struggle for the possession of q coin.

comes down in a lessening shower until
nothing of horse or rider is left. Then

Easter to the Unfortunate.

To those who have small satisfaction in
this life, whose conditions are those Of
misery or of dull vacuity, to whom life is
a sad mistake and an injustice if it is not
to give them further opportunity, fuller
expression, larger compensation, the day,
If it has any significance at all, stands rs
the pledge of existence under other oondi-
tions, where their cramped and hindered
powers can perhaps have fuller scope, and
they have at least the hope of that

Ring, gladstone bells Of Eastertide,
Ten thousand peans far and wide,
From northern plains of frost and snow
To lands where Easter lilies growi
Christ Is risen.
Deep in the vale the suns warm beams
Strike icy chains from swelling streams,
And In the bursting buds are seen
The coming summers wealth Of green,
Christ Is risen.
And as the winters night of sleep
Has ended for the fair springs leap,
So was the night Of pagan gloom
Dispelled by life from out the tomb.
Christ is risen.
Then ring the bells in tuneful chime
And sound them loud in every cline.
Go gather blushing lilies fair,
The altar strew in song and prayer.
Christ is risen.
o Easter day, glad Easter dayi
Our doubts and fears have passed away.
Hosannahl Let the wellxin ring
Lift up your heads to praise and sing
Christ is risenl
