wakes strong the reign of sin is
weakened. All real advance in
civilization is an advance in self
sacrifice. 1t las been a debated
question as to to whether we are
really very much beyond the civil
llzation of the Greeks and Romans.
1t is discussed to-day in the school
room and the market place, And
we may hear hearty defender of
our times, expressing his opinion
of our civilization, hold up
for admiration our schools and
colleges, our we'll paved streets and
railways, telegrapbs and telephones.
These are not the measure of our
actual advance. bat we have made
great strides beyond the culture
of the Greeks or the Romans;
we have and still are advancing,
in breaking away of classes, in
placing all men on au equal foot
ing as creatures of an Almig ty
Father, in benefcence, kindliness
and self sacrifice in ,7ord, in
placing altruisn where selfish
ness once held sway. The strug-
gle for self-life is giving way to
the struggle for life of others
It is by belief in power of loye
that sin will be conquered. St.
Paul tells US to "overcome evil
by good" because he knows this
is the only way to root out evil
and place The standard of right
conqueror. 1t is this hope in the
final triumph Of good that, after
all, makes this universe seem
worth while. Talk Of it's vast
ness, and this brings no relief.
Tell US of its grandeur, and there
is still an unsatisfied desire fol
something that rises above this.
But when we realizs that this
earth, just as we find it, is the
best battlefield for the growth o1
character, and beyond it al
stand justice and truth, hidder
only for a time, but surely com
ing forth again greater an6
grander than ever, then vii
fresh hope pierce the darkes
cloud that ever stretched ths
earth, and the triumph o
love over sin be accomplished
Then will we fill our appointed
place in bringing forward th'
great Judgment day. when al
our efforts will be measured ii
the light of self-sacrifca anc
love.

THE ONLY WAY TO PEACE.
Europe Knows That Spain Must
Give up Cuba or Fight us

London. April 8.-The action
Of the combined powers in max
ing representations in the inter
est OF peace at Washington and
Madrid to-day needs to be ex-
planned before its significance is
fully apparent. Instead Of being
interference with or even criti-
cism Of the American policy it is
really a full Endorsement Of that
policy. II it we're otherwise.
Great Britain would never have
been a party to it. This is easily
made clear. EQrope realizes at
last, and by Europe I meen the
great Chance'leries, that in Mad
rid alone. can aay outside infu
ence avail anything toward avert
ing war. Ia other words, Europe
knows low that the only way Of
CO implying with Americas just
and inexorable demand for the
restoration Of peace in Cuba is
by Spain's surrender OF the
island, bat Europe also knows
that it is impossible for either
Prime Minister Sagasta or Queen
Regent Christina to grant that
demand.
Count Rascon, the Spanish
Ambassador to Great Britain.

declared in an interview Sunday
that any Government or dynasty

ton would be Instantly swept
out of existence. But there re-
manned the bare possibility that
Spain, even il Ter pride, might
submit to the inevitable upon the
representation Of united Europe,
when she would resist to the last
gasp the same thing if proposed
by threatening America.
This possibility, this last re-
naming chance Of peace, has now
been put 10 tbs test. It was

Madrid and Washington. Presi-

it will suffice If the answer is q

Ambassadors of all the great
Eropean powers do not present
joint address to the President of
the United States in a crisis like
the present merely for the sake
of exchanging remarks upon the
beauties of peace. The interview
of yesterday had purpose. It
was one of those that make his
tory.
This Joint action was brought
about through the initiative of
the British Ambassador, whose
understanding of the situation is
complete and whose sympathy
and that of the nation he repre-
sents with the attitude of the
United States has not been dis
guised. The joint note therefore
can conceal no unfriendly inten
ton. It was not formally pres
sented until both parties knew
what is contained and what the
reply would be.
If there had been any doubt of
what the United States required,
it would have been dispelled by
the reply of the President, who
reiterated the general desire for
peace, but declared unequivocally
that the existing conditions in
Cuba must come to an end at
once. Every body understood
what he meant ana the.Ambassa
dors then withdrew for further
consultation with the Secretary
of State, who, in private con-
ference, could formulate the de-
mands of this government still

pei of the Resurrection.
The voice that goes forth in all
lands is, 'sLo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone; the
flowers appear upon the earth; the
time of the singing of birds is
come, and the voice of the dove
is heard in the woods - Cold
ness, hardness, dreariness, and all
the dark drapery of dead winter
have passed away as clouds be-
fore the rising sun. Clear shin
ing now comes after gentle show
ers and softens the face of things;
and new, bright, fresh, beautiful
life is bursting forth everywhere.
And verdure and brilliant colors
show themselves all over the earth.
Old things have passed away, and

world has put on the bridal, fes-
tai, resurrection garments. All
the works of the Lord, each in its
own language, is praising Him.
And, strangely, as if sweetly to
teach US the beautiful lesson, now
we are called on to put in the seed
in every 'acre of God'' in the
earth, confident of a sure return.
And the song Of the sower is: cit
is sown in corruption, iG is raised
in interruption; it is soWn
in dishonor, it is raised in
glory; it is sown natural body,
it is raised spiritual body" That
is the irresistible logic, the chorus

ing, cheering, fragrance; oiors
So suggestive Of the sweet infu-
ence Of loved ones, and of the

SONS! They are the sweetness
of hopes own self. They are
very hopes. They are the ex-
plantations Of everything human
and earthly. They are glorious
promises. They live their beau
tiful day and fade into more sub
stantial fruit. Our heart weeps
their departure, but rejoices in
what we know is to come of
them.
The burial of the seeds-that
have within them the germ of
life-the glory and fragrance of
the blossom, so soon to fade and
pass away-would fill life with
gloom but Tor the instinct and as
surance Of continuing and ad-
vancing life that God has fixed
in US and made part Of our very
being. Without teaching, or
reasoning. or words, we know
that our Redeemer liveth, and
that He shall stand at the latter
day upon the earth; and though
worms may destroy this body,
yet in our flesh we shall see God
for ourselves and not another,
awakening in His image.
The blossoms, enticirg US to
their love, teach US deeply to
love and purely to enjoy everys

good, assured that it will not go
out hopelessly, but pass into
something of a lovlier and dl.
viner kind. That which God
doeth, it shall be forever. Every
stitch from the Divine Weaver
remains in perennial freshness
in the web of Eternity.
