CHRISTIAN EvoLUTIoNIsT.

What | regard as the modern scientlhc

All that | can do in answer to your IN

that death ends all When one believes
that the whole process of the long eVolu-
ton has been for the purpose OF producing
A. thinking willing, loving man, how can
he believe that the end of 1t all is-notn-
ing? From the first nebulous days Goa
had in mind man. 1t is inconceivable that
God should have spent all the ages III max
ing Shakespeare, Gladstone, Lincoln,
only to make a body with which to NIL
grave If there is not something that lies
beyond when the body is gone, all eyolu-
ton ends in a cul-de-sac.
Man does not grow old; it is the body
which grows old First it was the man
instrument of development, then of use

His soul has outgrown the body. 1t would
be strange, when it has ceased to fulfill
its function as the servant of the spirit,
If he did not cast it of and rise triumphant
to the larger life for which all the evolu-
tionary processes of the centuries have
been preparing him.

The answer to this question must vary

which omits a belief in Immortality makes
OF life mere chaos of uncompeted un

UNITARIAN.

by Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D., Bos-
ton, Mass,
Easter morning does rot prove mans
Immortality. II asserts II. In the unycr-
sal resurrection from the night of winter,
as life returns which has been sleeping
or shrouded Il asserts mau's communion
and companionship with the God who is
Life. and declares that man who Is child
Of God can not die. Christ takes from
first TO last the ground that az He Is the
Son OF God we are Gods sons and daugh-
tiers. sharing the infinite life, that they
who truly live can never die. Because
] live We shall live also "
The great event of history is in the great
miracle of llfe-the victory of life over
death. II is ours to enter into the vic
tory. Christ not only comes that mon may
have life, but that hey may have It mote
abundantly He makes their lilo so large
and full that they know il does not end
with the physical accident c. death.
TT is a little thing in comparison to
believe in immortality. The great thing
is to live as an Immortal" How does this
surety OF eternity affect daily life? The
lesson of Easter for you and for me will
be learned If we covenant anew today 10
live the life OF the living children OF llv-
ing God.

FuTrRE OF TIE BICYCLE.

1t is agreed by all bicycle manufactur-
ers that the 1880 models represent the
perfect wheel. Improvements seems to
be impossible. Precisely the same thing
Is true Of Hostetters Stomach BlttGrs.
1t represents the limits Of science in
overcoming disease and It Is impossible
to make better medicine for the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys. and blood. A few
doses Of the Bliters will start weak, ner-

strength A regular course Of treatemnt
Will bring b. H. the pink to the cheeks
and sparkle to the eye. Sleep Will come
naturally, and It will be refreshing and
healthful. Dyspepsia, Indigestion and con-
stipation will be completely banished, and
the blessings Of true health bestowed

Il Is seldom such a Chinese pageant Is
witnessed in Astoria as that which took
place yesterday at the funeral Of Lam
Foo. The services commenced at 2
O'Clock. at the corner Of Eighth and
Bond. by the Masons 10 which order the
deceased Chinaman belonged. Tributes
70 the dead, according to the Chinese
custom, were paid the departed Mason
and full-roOed Mungoians standing In
line near the coffin chanted the rites II
the order. Timbals and tom-toms were
beaten with a will and made a perfect
din in the vicinity. Two tables laden
with roast pig, rice tea, and gin. and
other eatables were laid conveniently
near the coffin. The food remained un-
touched, but was tempting enough to
make a hungry mans mouth water
After the services were over a procession
was formed and the cortege proceeded to
the Telephone dock. The body was
shipped on the Telephone last night to
Portland for burial.
