Diving Thou CONQUERED Death.

Lamb OF God, who taksst away ths sin Of
the world, our hearts are bowed In reverence
and humility before the wonder OF thy
cross. Thou hast borne our grief and car
ried our sorrows. With thy stripes we are
healed, and the Lord hath laid on thee
the iniquity OF us all. By thy tempta-
tion and obedience the betrayal and
forsaking, the scourgs and piercing
thorns, the cruel wounding OF the
nails, the taunts and burning thirst,
the lingering anguish of the cross
which thou hast 80 willingly endured for
our salvation, grant Us thy peace. Through
dying thou hast conquered death. and risen
again that We may share thy life forever
more. Let thy glory shine amid the trials
Of the earth. Quicken our faith and make
our love effective for service. Draw US to
thyself in true repentance and unfeigned
humility, and may our lives,bear witness tc
thy love through all our years. Amen.

Willing Submission to God.

It Is idle to talk Of suffering as II t were

fering end Its culture. like JOY and its cul-
ture, are within the lot Of every man. He
lives unworthily whose nature never clashes
against the lower natures, and suffers pain.
But mere pain Is not education; does not
bring growth. 1t Is the suffering Of willing
submission to God and of self-sacrificing
love for fellow men that softens and spirit
ualizes and blesses US. In all such suffer-
ing lot US rejoice. We shall not need to
seek; opportunities enough for 1t will meet
US every where. And may God help US

Our burden up, nor ask 1t less,
And count 1t JOY that even we

Fruit, foliage, grapes, cherries, plums

roses, large rosettes of silk and other
stuffs, bound with velvet, maline and
Persian silk, are to be found on the

Daring combinations of very thin

and when the people came in with their
happy faces, he said: This Is no place for
me, I'll 60; I have no friends, no happy

this terrible statement was true, and he
set to work to try and prove that 1t wa

was the end OF his inquiry. As soon as he
began to find ont the real facts he learned
that, so far from the number given being
90 high, It was much low. Not only did

The Coming OF the Spring-The spiritua

Dying Thou Conquered Death.
She has come who tarried long,
Gentle rains have hastened her;
In the woods a welcome song,
On the grass an eager stir,
And she whispers, 81 am here,
Sweetest days OF all the year.
Green the grass about her feet,
Blue the skies above her head,
Myriad flowers with perfume sweet
Crowd the path that she must tread;
All the world, for love OF Spring,
Gives Its best OF everything.
But where er the sick and sad
In dark places watch and walt,
Hearts are suddenly made glad
That were lone and .desolate.
For the spring calls Hope to wake,
And be strong for loves dear sake, .G.,- .
All! what song OF trust have we ~.
Who through all the winter drear
Saw the thick mists on the sea d..
And all fair things disappear2
Grown impatient Of delay,
Feared that pain alone would stay?
Faint hearts, waste not in regret

Spring shall Danish fear and doubt, .>c
Let the song OF praise ring out.

are In different stages OF disease, but all
who die on that island die OF leprosy.
On one OF the Islands there was ply
,sician who always wore his hand gloved,
and 1t; was often discussed why he always
had d glove on that hand under all circum-
stances. One day lie came to the authort-
ties, and se withdrew his glove, and ne
said to the. officers OF the law: "You see on

Tho Academy Management Again

Editor Virginian-Pilot:
Having seen several communication
relative to the Academy management,
and the sale of seats for THE Chris
tan" one or two thoughts present
themselves to INC.
Why should a man be compelled to
stand in line two or three hours for the
privilege of paying 81 for a seat, and
while standing there see some other
man go near the head of the line and
hand to a friend So, $40, SIS or $50, as
the case may he, for tickets for him
self and friends thus getting ahead OF
the early bird" WhyN couldn't both
box Offices be opened, and ut one sell
parquet and dress circle tickets-at the
other balcony seats?
The management knows the number
OF persons each bench in the peanut"
gallery can accommodate-say, for In
stance the first row should seat twenty.
why couldn't twenty tickets be marked
second gallery, first row. and be re-
served when occasion like this arise
where every one wishes TO see the per-
formance-thc other sets likewise.
1t does appear to me The manner of
selling tickets might be improved upon.
Now, with regard to spectators.
don't know this 10 be q fact, but have
been informed that attaches of the
Academy were Offering tickets at an
advanced price. A few years ago Gum
less am mistakenly no person could
purchase over six tickets on occasions
of this kind. This rule should he adopt
ed again.
