FIRST CONGREGATIONAL
The Glory of Easter Not the End, but
the Beginning

Beautiful decorations of Easter lilies
and roses were placed with artistic eff
feet in the First Congregational church
yesterday; there was an especial pro-
gram of music and the congregation was
large.
"Some are impatient with the old, old
story of the gospel" said the pastor,
Rev. DR.. Day, but the story of those
last days in Jerusalem, the seven words
on the cross, the Masters loneliness,
gentleness, dignity and suffering, does
not wear out. To 1t are drawn again

v.ndication of his divinity. On the cross
He had succumbed to death. Had He
not risen, the impression left would be
that he had met one enemy too strong
for Him. His foes could have said He
died like felon and that was the last of
Him. But animating His own clay and
coming forth was sublime triumph.
"The whole of the gospel story is cred
ihle at the vacant tomb Of Christ. For If
we believe that Jesus died and rose again
then are we prepared to believe all the
Scriptures teach of the glory of His per-
son as one with the Father and the Re-
deemer of our souls from DEATH"

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
"A Study in the Resurrection From
the Dead"

The Easter decorations in the First
Presbyterian church, which were very
elaborate and beautiful, were entirely
of white and green, and the pulpit deco
ration was entirely of delicate white
wisteria A special musical program
was rendered. The Rev. Burt Estes
Howard preached powerful sermon to
q congregation that entirely filled the
church, which he called "A Study In the
Resurrection from the Dead" in which
he pointed out logically. quoting the
New Testament as his authority, that
the accepted theory of the resurrection
of the body Is not alone unscientific. but
unscriptural as well. There is no resur-
rection of the body limited at in the word
of Jesus, and the accounts given of
Jesus appearances after death in
bodily form, are too vague and conflict
ing to serve as the foundation for any
exact dogma.
The resurrection from the dead which
Jesus constantly referred to, and led his
disciples to expect, was something vast
ly different from his own bodily appear
ance before them. Any argument for q
resurrection pre-supposes as Its logical
antecedent q doctrine Of immortality
While immortality does not by necessity
imply a resurrection, any kind of a resur-
rection must imply some sort of i'm
morality. 1t is Life, not Form.
that unfolds under the law OF
development. Forms change and
ehift with ceaseless mutation, but the
mighty Energy that is endlessly alter
ing itself through forms is one divine
living force.
The center Of evolution Is In the power
that works on matter; matter Is but the
vestment In which the great Life that
throbs and pulses through the universe
clothes for season its nakedness. When
forms change, therefore. the life that
has been for little while tenting there
in is not destroyed. The history of ma
ture Is only the record of the multiform
way in which the great Central Life has
expressed itself. Physical evolution has
reached the limit in the human body,
but the time must come when the man
must cast aside the material garment of
decay, and the logical end of spiritual
evolution is the elimination Of the ply
steal. Mr.. Howard then went on to
show, in logical sequence, that evolution
has not only reached the plane of i'm
mortality, but that there is in it some
thing beyond, so that although i'm
mortality does not of necessity imply a
resurrection, evolution does and that
those who shall. by obeying the price Of
the eternal living Christ. pass on into a
larger and diviner life shall, through
evolution, exemplify resurrection.
The resurrection about which Jesus
speaks is not pitiful raking together
of a handful of dust, it is the passing on
of the soul that has caught new con-
sciousness' of God as it walked the ways
of this earth--life in the spirit of Christ.
In understanding this larger meaning
of the resurrection we thrill with new
hope when in the light of the revelation
we hear him cry: II am the Resurrection
and the Life" We see the heavens
opened and Life stretching on and OH
into the eternities into the measureless
heart Of God.

The parade of the Grand Army,

the troops and therefore saw all that

And how the people cheered! But it

Gold Is Not Everything.

His poor, work calloused hands were
despalringly entwined; his emaclated
form was bowed down with woe, and
the hollows In his careworn cheeks
were slowly filling up with tears that
ran down from dull, tired eyes. He
was young man whose early life had
been spent amid careful home sur
roundings under the influence of Chris
tan teachings, and now in this hour Of
dark despair and deep detection, when
reason tottered on her throne and fierce
pain pangs assaulted his flesh, the habits
OF his youth were strong upon him.
With weary footsteps he crossed the

A month later the body of Galbraith
was seen floating at the bottom of the
shaft. and an investigation into the
crime was started. Ed, George and
Nancy Staffieback were arrested, tried
and convicted of the murder, and an
effort was made to apprehend Wilson,
who was also implicated in the killing
Wilson, however, had fled and the au-
thorities are now searching for him.
The arrest of the Stafilebacks led to
other horrible disclosures. Released

stories of further murders committed
by this family. Two years ago two

into insensibility and finally death, and
lest the other girl should tell of the af-
fair she was beaten to death by Ed

ped the bodies In sheets and threw
them down an abandoned shaft.
a short time afterward the brothers,
Mike, Ed and George, attacked and
killed a peddler who was stopping over
night at the house and divided his
money.
Another murder of which members
of the Staflleback family are guilty
was that of an old soldier named Roda-

Billy Martin, brother OF Mikes wife,
made away with him while the Staflle-

back family. In their different ways
these people led their criminal lives,
with Mother Nance acting as the evil
genius of the gang. Time and again
the den in which they lived was raid
ed and one or more was arrested for
some petty offense. But the gang took
this as matter of course.
Last June, however, occurred al
event that brought the Staffiebacks to
grief. This was the murder of a miner,
Frank Galbraith. He had gone to the
Stafileback house on invitation from
Emma, but the old woman had refused
him admlttance. He returned and then

given by Anna McComb, who Witness

Il heard the row begin and stepped
outside and around the corner of the

house. Then Wilson and Ed got their

for Frank put his hand to his hip and

on. He couldn't run very fast, and Ed
