God was enabled. without being un.
true to the principles of eternal right
e~Ousness, to forgive the sins of all who
are not too proud to repent of the same
and to accept by faith a personal in
terest in the death of Jesus; also give
such persons the power to live i,cly
lives. The resurrection demonstrated
the divinity of Christ's nature, anil
proved that the atonement made had
achieved the victory over death, the
penalty of sin, as well as over sin it,

So far as I know the celebrations of
Easter. both past nj present, have
consisted and do consist chiefly Of forms

The best symbolization Of the triumph
of u Lords Easter, to me, is the ris-
ing into newnes of life of some sinner
by finding salvation both for this world
and h next. Sarcely less beautiful
to me is the deliverance of some child
of God from the grace clothes Of GUS

his going out to live for oGd alone at
all costs. In these cases music is SELL

LOVE MAKING In FAIR JAPAN
The Women Are Retiring and Would Die
Sooner Than Disclose Their Affection.
BY Sada Yacco.

l am very glad to tell the American
women all | car about love in japan.
l cannot express myself as well as
could wish, but l will tell you as well
as / can.
There is a difference between the
OF love-making in America and
in Japan.
In this country men and women love
each other; it is free custom.
In my cOuntry-Japan-no girl is eyer
allowed to declare her love as frankly
as it is done in the Western countries,
On account of this custom Japanese
women hide their love and become love
sick.
Often they will die of love-sickness
rather than confess their love.
This must seem very curious fol-
Americans to hear, but the difference
comes from this fact, that whereas in
your country intercourse between men
women is allowed entire freedom,
in our country it is not SO.
In America men and women are on
such an equal footing that there is
hardly any more difference than in the
intercourse between man and man.
In p there are many strictly es-
tabllshed maXims coverings the con-
duct of men and women to each other.
one of which forbids a man or a woman
to sit in each others presence.
After a girl and a boy are seven wears
old they must observe this
rigidly.
Thus it is that men and women in
Japan have nc freedom in their rela-
lions.
This marked difference in the rela-
tfonship of men n women in your
country and in mine makes more ST.
lent tragedy and a serious people.
I could not tell which principles are
the best, yours or ours, but I can say
that there is a fair distinction in the
purpose Of yours and ours.
h moral laws of Japan for our
women are different from the laws tina
govern yours.
or course. I am not very well ac-
quainted with the social conditions OF
your country. and therefore cannot dis.
cuss the manne in which love reign.
among American women. On the whole
however, ] think low in Japan is VERY
noble, sublime and sacred.

H JACK
By Grace Owen:

Arthur and his little sister, Kitty,
We're just entering the school house
yard. and We're close to the we'll, when
something very strange to see made
them start.
The pump vas one of those old fash
Toned ones with a long chain that car
rles the bucket down to the water. and
the big, square,, wooden nose of this
pump was unusually large.
'Oh, look, Arthur" said Kitty.
Look at the spout. What is that?'
why, it's a rabbit, as sure as any
thing!!" cried Arthur.
Yes, sure enough, there in the spout
of the old pump was the prettiest rab-
bit the children had ever seen.
How did he ever get here?" said
Kitty.

Moreover, even a sharp sword hung
threateningly over their heads would
not alter their love VOWS.
II a japanese girl once takes a hus-
band in Japan she will help him 10y
ally all his life, even in the face of great
disaster.
Sometimes it happens that she saves
her husbands life at the sacrifice OF
her own.
Why is this?
1t is because of the fixed moral law
in Japan which forbids a chaste woman
to look upon two husbands.
Japanese girls have their heads and
their hearts full of these moral laws,
and that is why they are 50 loyal to
their husbands and lovers.
Takao, a famous and beautiful geisha
girl of Toxic. was killed by Cendaika,
one of the richest feudal lords in ia
! pan, for jealousy.
Inasmusasaki, also a beautiful eeisha
girl, rejected a proposal of marriage
from the wealthiest officer of highest
rank IN Japan. and married the man
she loved. an officer of the lowest rank
in Japan.
! (Note-An officer of the lowest rank
in Japan is a policeman.)
love among the Japanese women
comes from true hearts,.
Our people are not tickle. I'M they
do not love for wealth or rank.
l nope you will understand that if
once a Japanese girl falls in love with
a man power of force or power of
money could not influence her loyalty
of heart. Any American Who has trav-
eled in Japan knows this.
To speak faithfully, although the Jan
anese women are the most amiable and
tender IN time of peace, in times of war
or danger they are always ready to
sacrifice their lives for their sovereign
their country and their husbands.
frequently the Japanese women work
SO hard that men doing the same labor
would be overcome.
These are the characteristics of love
in Japan. wv
