The work of replacing the gravel Is be-
ing done by the city and not by contract.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

At the First Baptist church there was
an unusually large congregation. The
church was handsomely decorated, which
gave the pulpit platform very attractive
appearance. The fine music was greatly
appreciated by the audience. Following
are n few points of DR.. LamlSins sermon
on "The Moral Significance of Christi
Resurrection" He took for text Romans
Will. But il the spirit of Him that
raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in
you, He that raised up Christ from the
dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies
by His spirit that dweleth in you"
To the historian and TO the world no
fact gathers in itself so much Of interest
and Importance as these events indicated
in the Textile resurrection of Christ
and the resurrection OF the human body.
On the FIRST of these depends the fate OF
the world and the destiny of man. On the
second the fulflment of the hopes cher
ished for ages, The first is an incontest-
able fact. The second win be realized in
| he contamination Of Christ's redemptve
work, These thoughts, based upon the
/ text, are appropriate reflections this glad
some morning. First, the resurrection OF
Christ is key TO our graves and a pledge
OF our own resurrection. Jesus declared
this truth when TO the sorrowing sisters
of Lazarus he said; II ain the resurrec-
! ton and the life; he that believeth on me
though he were dead yet shall he live
again" The march of science has never
yet robbed the world of the great doctrine
OF the resurrection Of the body
Second. This resurrection morning was
the dawn Of hope TO this despairing world
Without His resurrection Christ's death
would be the grave of our hopes and orl
night would be unrelieved by a single
star. Third. The resurrection was the
morning OF immortality and the sure
promise of heaven From the empty tomt
there burst a light on the great problem
OF human history. but its brightest rays
are thrown upon the gloom of the future
Immortality is brought to light, and the
glorious character and condition of the
future life of the soul are clearly Init.

Great stamp Collection.

Philatelists will be interested to learn that the great Tapling collection Of postage stamps in the British Mu- scum is now nearly all arranged in sys- tematic order, and will soon be avail able for purposes of comparison and study E. D. Bacon. who has been engaged in the work for the last four years, has carefully annotated every issue with the name of the printer and designer and the date of issue. The collection is preserved in a very strong iron chest in one of the rooms of the National Library, but when it's ar rangement is finished it is probable that some device may be adopted so that those who wish to consult it can do so without having access to the stamps. Several suggestions to this end have been made, and experiments are being tried with view to adopting the most satisfactory method of giving the public the required facilities, while protecting the stamps from being han died and the deteriorating effect of light Birmingham (England) Post.

Ten Story Factory Blooming All Over
 with Flowers.
 Flower pots exposed along the win dow lodges prove that spring is here. There is no better sign. All winter the faint blooms have shone behind the glass of the panes, but now they take the open air like invalids confined for long, but convalescing. They are curious things, flower pots, and evil oence the love of nature born in us all and staying with us to our latest breath. They are seen, too, in the most curious places There is a huge smoke-grimed factory on the west side ten stories high. The air about it is thick with coal dust and soot Yet all summer it's lodges bloom like gardens. One knows that many girls work in that factory. The flowers are watered from tin cups that are carried full and dripping the long length of the halls in the luncheon half hour. Men would not take the trouble, but the woman who does not love buds and blooms is as rare as the woman who does not love babies. In either case her think. ing machinery has slipped a cog or was built wrongly to begin with. Flower pots and little seamstresses working high up above the city's roar go to- gether as naturally as turkey and cranberry sauce.

Nominally these tribes have aban- doned their tribal relations, and their members have taken lands in sever atty, but instead of occupying their farms, they rent them to whites, who pay a rental of from $15o to $3 per acre.

The crop raised is almost invariably wheat, and when that grain sells at 50 cents a bushel, the farmer makes a profit of about $25 an acre from each crop. the cost of production being about $4.50 an acre These Indian farms embrace 160 acres of land each, and as they are being carried on un- der the rental system, the white man is the one who is the most protited, but so general is the rental system that only one Indian in the three tribes cultivates his own farm.
