AT THE Y. NJ. CA.
The Afternoon Meeting Addressed by Rev.
=. NJ Davis. of Chicago.

Yesterday afternoon at the mems
meeting at the Y. NJ c. A., Rev. S. NJ.
Davis. of Chicago, delivered an excellent
address On the subject. "A Supreme
Question" The supreme question to-
day for every person in this world
everywhere tainted and diseased with
moral leprosy is What shall we do
with JeSUs?'
The speaker emphasized the import
ance of this question by SuppOsing that
during the time that the recent plague
eXister in Bombay. India. and thousands
and hundreds of thousands were dying
Of disease that some healer had come
who had announced his ability to heal
the sick and save the dying. The re-
suit would have been that the pOpula-
ton would have decided to give him a
trial and 10 discover whether he was
what he claimed 70 be. The speaker
urged his hearers to do the same thing
to give Jesus 4 trial. Jesus had come
into the world when il was diseased
everywhere. even among those who call
Cd themselves the elect Of Jehovah He
had been tried and the fact that he
was all that he claimed to be was
proven that all other religions were ad-
mitted 10 he failures. II would be the
part Of wisdom to Try Jesus as there was
no other refuge, as sung by the poet,
and no other remedy had been found TO
meet the necessity. We should not on
u Try Jesus. but we should trust Him.
The failure 10 know Jesus and to test
his healing powers was because We do
not trust Him. because we receive Him
at our finger tips instead Of giving Him
our whOe soul. taking Him into cur
business. our homes. introducing Him
10 cur companions. recommending him
10 our friends. We should not only try
Him and trust Him. but should glorify
Him. rot only in our songs and speech.
but by becoming living witnesses of his
saving power. We should magnify Him

to glory. changing this mortal for immor-
tally, this corruptibl5 for the incorrupuble
as we go.
Lift your glad voices in triumph on high.
For Jesus has risen and man cannot die
The resurrection OF Christ stands as a
living proof that death is not the end. but
that we are heirs of immortal life. Paul
saws. we know that He which raised up
the Lord Jesus shall raise up Us also. In
the natural world there are restrictions
occurring around US continually. The day
dies az night and is buried in silence and
darkness: at dawn there is rising from
the dead Of night. The flowers and plants
at this season of the year come forth from
their graves. GU. in California seeds that
were buried in the tomb with the Egypt

RESURRECTION OF CHRIST.
The Theme OF the sermon of Rev. L. w
Roberts or Wesley Church.


AT Wesley NJ. E. Church a large audi
ence greeted the pastor. Beautiful
flowers. we'll arranged, showed the ap-
probation of Easter. The choir rem
dered appropriate music. Rev. L. w.
Roberts chose for his subject the Res
direction of Christ" The following Is
synopsis of the sermon:
1t is an old subject. First used by
the angel when he preached the resur-
rection to Mary on the first Easter
morning. Empires have come UP and
gone down: great strides have been
made in the onward march of civiliza-
ton, but the story of the resurrection
remains the same, and will continue 70
be the hope of the church, until time
shall be no more; and will be a theme
OF interest among the redeemed in the
glory world This important event was
witnessed by a yelled sun, an earth
quake which opened graves and allowed
their prisoners to escape, and a rent
veil which opened the Holy of Holes
to the most humble inquirer after the
way of life.
The enemies of Jesus having heard
that He had announced His resurrec-
ton, placed a seal upon the door Of the
sepulchre, while a guard of soldiers
kept watch TO make sure that his friends
would not steal the body. But at the
appointed time. the morning of the
third day. an angel whose authority was
greater than the Roman governor, broke
the seal, opened the door and the sleep
er arose. while the soldiers were pros
trate with fear.
This miraculous event was nolsed
abroad. The Sanpedim was greatly
exercised and bribed the soldiers to say
they slept while the disciples stole the
body. While they put forth every et-
fort TO disprove the Resurrection, they
failed TO show who had stolen the body
or where it was. On the other side the
friends of Jesus had abundant proof
even beyond contradiction, that he con-
ouered death and the grave. led cap
tivitv captive and walked among men,
showing himself on various occasions
during forty days-irst to the: women
then to the disciples. to above 500 bretn-
rem at once, and last OF all to PauI ds
one born out of due season.
Thus Christianity rejoices IN an
omen grave. and a resurrected Christ
and the lily can but poorly represent
the purity of that life that was hVeu by
the Galilean carpenter. We are assuI-
ed that the grave cannot hold our oou-
les. There will be a resurrection morn
inc and whether we shall see another
bright Easter or not we know the goou
shall meet their Lord in the city above
for He assembled upon high.

Il was an ideal Easter Sunday, al
though the weather was a triae cold.
The sunshine dispelled the frost pro-
duciug conditions Of the early morning,
and the temperature was moderate
throughout the day. The number Of
pedestrians on the streets was unusually
large for the frs, day Of the week.
Asa matter of course the observance
Of Easter was entirely Of a religious
nature. The social celebration will
take place during the ensuing six days.
All the church choirs had prepared
special musical programmes, which
have been heretofore published in the
Register The music was a feature Of
the services and taken as a whole, was a
splendid indication Of the advancement
in musical culture in this city during
the past two years. Some of the choirs
were augmented for the occasion.
In nearly all the churches. especially
in those of the Roman Catholic and
Protestant Episcopal denominations,
the decorations in flowers and plants
were both lavish and tasteful, and con-
tributed in no small degree toward at
tracing the large congregations. It is
perhaps not an eXaggeration 10 state

PROSPEROUS RIO ARRIDA
Over One Hundred Thousand Lambs
Sold This Year at Best Prices
Ever Known.
WOOL BRINGS SIXTEEN CENTS PER POUND
People Doing Well and Are Satisfied
Sheep Owned by the Thou
sand-Names of Some of
the Owners.

Colonel Venceslao Jaramillo, who was
in the city Yesterday from Rio Arriba
county, he being sbockgrower and mer-
chant at Ell Rito, in talking to a repre-
sentative of this paper, said, that the peo-
pie of Rio Arriba county were satisfied
and prosperous, crops have been good
during the past season and sheep have
been doing very we'll. Wool from i'm
proved sheep was bringing 16 cents per
pound, the highest price in many years,
and lambs have never brought as good a
price as they do this season. He has sold
over 5000 lambs this year 80 far, at
prices averaging 81 go per head. Other
sheepgrowers have done as we'll, if not
better. Among the large sheepgrowers
Of the county are Hon. T. D. Burns of
TERRA Amarillo, with over 10000 head;
Don Rey Gonzales of Abiquiu, over 30
600 head; Hon. j. M. Archuleta of Lum-
berton, over $4,000 head; Sheriff Perfecto
Esquibel Of the Nutritas, over 10000
head, and he, himself, is the owner of
about $4,000 head. Many of the farmers
and ranohmen of Rio Arriba county own
from 1000 to 5000 head. He is of the
opinion that over 100000 lambs have
been sold in Rio Arriba county this year
aid that over 100000 has been paid for
them. This, considering the population
of Rio Arriba county, is vast amount of
money and it is being distributed among
the people, as the sheep industry EN-.
ploys great many men. He also said,
the people were feeling good and would
roll up fine Republican majority at the
next election. The voters of Rio Arriba
county are getting to know that their
bread is buttered under Republican ad-
ministration, whereas under Dem ooratic
administration it is not even good and
wholesome bread for them.
