presentation Of al application in writ
ing.

Strange as it may seem, the full sonse of
Christian feast days may be often best ap-
preciatel from the purely secular, or even
pagan, viewpoint. They seem, indeed,
these feasG.days, to have struck deep oots
in Nature SO that the very seasons In
their round confess them.
Christmas, rich as it Is In spiritual
significance to the Christian, carries to
breasts oven OF the unprofessing an echo
OF its joy. Winter winds ronp merri.
mont. wintor SHOWS spread shining inno-
cence the Wide world over. The young
year, u clear-cheekcd monarch, mounts
his untarnished throne. Froliu Nature Is
child with Christ
As with Christmas so with Easter.
Poets upon whose flne ardOr Religion has
laid too often a Christening hand, Gel ebrate
now with strains of unalloyed delight the
implicit burden of the Spring. Choristers
though they know 1t not, anu though no
choir may range them, they together with
Nature, hymn Christ born and risen.
And 1t is this impalso of Nature voiced by
her poets that hides alternately and dis
closes, tho deepest Easter meaning
Has any of us borne sweeter witness
than the poet to the sovereignty of Spring?
Has any Easter anthem, rolling down
cathedral aisles, filter music in it than
the Christ.carols of the thousand-throa,e ed
wood? What prayer OF ours Is compar-
able In purity to the breat he'd fragrance of
flowers whom Spring has disentombedp
Arc these symbols spenG upon us then in
vain? And shall we find in our own lives
no answering resurrection?
Resurrection it is that stirs in the
poets heart The dead songs, long silent,
wake at Easter in wondering music.
Resurrection dowers the bird, too with
last years notes, teaching him, here and
there, an added trill of triumph. Re3ur-
rection, in the garden, calls the flowers
from sleep.
Casters message to us, too, is resurrec-
ton. Resurrection presupposes death.
Therein 1t is we fall short of Easter glad
ness We have no dead selves" to arise
transfgured from tho tomb Of renuncia-
tion. We never die, We seldom renounce.
The birds, unanimous in springtime
song, are unanimous in winter silence,
ners at winters word, flaunt them gayly
onceln the face of spring. We learn no
equa! lesson.
The same prayers, disused or defled
with perfunctory usage serve our worship
from year to year. The same unrefroahed
ideals, battered after how mauy passages
of dlsillusion. sit OIL the same time worn
pedestas in the inner temple of our lives.
We need the frequent and friendly touch
of death to purge and clarity, to reject
and olect for resurrection. Without death
and thresholds Of the year which Nature
crosses with such reverend feet we blindly
and irreligiously o7erpass Our spirits
answer Nature with no Christmas birth,
no Lenten oruciaxion, no Easter resurrec-
tion. In the glittc" Of vestment and the
cloud of incense we miss our Christmas
and Easter meanings Weekly.

Commanding Second Battalion of Sixth Virginia Regimen
Resigns his command at Knoxville, Tenn

The following telegraphic dispatch
shows that the enemies of the Sixth
Virginia Regiment have been at work
at Washington:
KNoxNILLE, TENN, Oct. 5 Especially
Nine co!ored officers of the Sixth Vir-
ginia Volunteers to-day rendered their
designations 10 General Mckee, COM
manding The Second Division, First
Corps. They were Major w. 81. john
son, Captains Charles B. Nichol as, Jas.
@. Hill, Jas. A. c. Stevens, Edward W.
Gould, and Peter Sheppard, Jr., and
Lieutenants Samuel B. Randolph, Geo.
T. Wright, and David Worrell. This
wholesale resignation is attributed to
the fact that yesterday General Mckee
detailed board of examiners to inves-
tigate and report concerning the quail
iHcations, capacity, and efficiency of
the above nan ed officers. The board
met this morning to begin the work
assigned it, when it was advised of the
designations. The orders for the in
vestigation came to General Mckee
from Washington, and it is und erstood
that complaint had been filed againt
the cfficers with the War Department.
The vacancies occasioned by these res
ignations will be filed by promotions
from the ranks.
The Examination Board was compOs-
ed Colonel Leroy Brown, of the Fourth
Tennessee Lieutenant Bryant, of the
Second Ohio; Lieutenant-Colonel s
i. Taylor, of the Third North Carroll
ma; Major Henry l.. Munt, of the Thir.
ty-frst Michigan, and Major w. O. Ia

will leave probably before the end OF

Poverty No Grouno For Divorce.

st. Louis, Oct. 5.-In the court Of
appeals yesterday Judge Bland set
aside the divorce obtained recently az
Springfield, Mo, by Mrs. Isabella
Campbell from her husband. William
c. Campbell. Mrs. Campbell sued her
husband for divorce on the grounds Of
desertion and general indignities, ard
was granted a decree, with the custody
OF the two children. Judge Bland de-
cides that the divorce was an inius-
tice to Mr.. Campbell. He said the
evidence went to show that Campbell
was a poor man, working for wages,
while his wife had $4,000 in property
and a fixed income OF $50 a month be-
sides. The husbands only offense was
his poverty. Judge Bland said there
was no law in Missouri which made
poverty a ground for divorce.
