Thomas was enabled to comprehend
as the necessary outgrowth of the re-

the fact that if Christ could rise from
the dead, he could do anything else,
and was divine.
There are souls in the world who

Many of you, nay, most of you, know
full we'll what it is to have sepulcher
in the garden of your lives. You know
the shadow that it sheds over all the
pleasant alleys and the bordered paths.
You need not be told how it changes
the place for you into something other
than it was. But there is another
aspect. Not spot in all the inclosure
brought to Joseph of Arimathea 50 en-
during joy as the very place he had
builded for sorrow. And the sepulcher
in your garden may do the same for
you. 1t may bea resurrection spot
for your soul. Out of this sorrow
which wraps round you may rise
into a purer and serener day. The
rolling of the great stone to the door
may mark the finishing and hiding
away of one portion of our Christian
life, and the rolling away of that stone
on the third morning may be the COM
mencement of q higher and more con-
secrated one. And if this be the case,
then the sepulcher spot in your days
will be the most blessed of all. Its
joys will reach farther, shine clearer,
endure longer, than any belonging to
the hours when your garden knew no
tomb. Using your sorrow, it may
teach you as it has taught many, how
to sayI
"Oh, deem not they are blest alone
Whose lives peaceful tenor keep,
For God, who pities man, hath shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep"

The Effects Of Easter.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is
the supreme event of human history.
The risen Lord became new centre
of power and holy influences which
reached to the ends of the earth, bring
ing confusion to the forces of evil and
reinforcing whatever was true and
noble and helpful to the elevation and
salvation of man. The influence of no
other event is so far-reaching and salu-
tary. The light of the Easter morning
has flashed around the world. But
leaving this wider sweep Of influence,
let US notice the effects produced by
the resurrection of Christ nearer by.
Easter morning renewed the faith and
activity of the band of dioiples who
had followed Jesus and suffered with
Him. The change produced in the
spirit and courage Of the brotherhood
is amazing. The timid and shrinking
disciples became at once confident and
bold as a lion in the presence of their
enemies. Assurance had taken the
place of hesitancy and doubt and the
new spirit which had come into them
and which fairly possessed them from
that hour bore them on to the moral
conquest of the world. Heroic sacri-
flee and exertion for Christ were the
natural outcome of his revelation OF
Christ's glory and power. To US, also,
the revelation of Easter means new
dispensation of work for Christ. The
rising of our Lord is not an event to
be simply contemplated and believed {;
Easter must needs become incarnate in
us; and, when this takes place, our
whole life will be energized and we
shall find our highest delight in the
work of the Lord Jesus. What Christ
wants is workmen in His vineyard.
Mere spectators are cumberers of the
ground, hindranee rather than help
to the cause. The Easter day returns
to you in vain if it does not move you
to work. Take up the first duty; begin
this very day; put your hand to the
plough and never once look back until
you reach the limit of the field. Your
faith without words is dead ; you be-
lieve in vain unless faith is REINFORCED
by exertion in the cause of the Divine
Master.

Girlhood and young womanhood are
such pure and sweet and beautiful
things when they are what God in
tended them to he that it fills one with
unspeakable regret to see a young
girls life falling short of it's appointed
beauty.
His great desire and delight is God
and my desiring and delighting, he
hath him. Delight thou in the Lord,
and he shall give thee thy hearts de-
sire,-himself; and then surely thou
shalt have all. Any other thing COM
nit it to him, and he shall bring it tc
pass.
Christian forgiveness acts fairly and
generously. 1t does not load down the
offender with eXacting and oppressive
demand. 1t does not first bring him
under the blow pipe eofindignation and
scorch him and burn his offense into
him, or knead him with fiery. fists and
then say; "Now, | am willing to for
give you"
Responsibility grows with posses
sions. Everyone has duty to give
and to do; but he who has largest
means and largest ability ought to give
more and do more than he whose linn,
itations are more restrictive.
AS an old divine said, "The Lord
looks not so much at what you've
given, as at what you've got left"

Meaning OF the Easter Egg.

AS Easter represents new birth in
to the best life Of all, it is easily seen
how the pagan idea that the egg wasthe
beginning Of all kinds of lie should
become purified in the minde OF the
Christians, and accepted as the typical
offering of good wishes and emble.u-
attic of pleasant hopes between believers
of the glad Easter day. The egg in
some form or other has been the un-
questioned type of the new life from
tue very dawn of the Christian era.
In Russia as early as 1889 eggs COL
ored red typifying the brood of Christ
shed as an atonement for our sins,
were the most treasured of exchanges
of Easter. Every believer went abroad
at this season with his pockets we'll
supplied with Easter eggs, as the
society man Of to-day attends to his
we'll filled card case. When two Rus
SLAMS met for the first time during the
Easter holidays, if they had not met
on the day itself, the, belated Easter
compliment were passed, first by
solemnly shaking hands in silence ;
then the elder Tor the younger, If he
outrauked the elder would say, 1.-The
Lord is risen," and his companion
would reply, ut is true" then they
kissed each other and tremendously
drew from their respective pockets
the Easter emblem, and exchanged
eggs.
The Syrians believe also that the
gods from whom they claimed descent
were hatched from myster iOusly laid
eggs. Hence we infer that our present
custom Of offering the Easter egg en-
blem has the heather legends for its
origin; in fact, all our most precious
festivals come down from similar
sources, but purified with the light of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
