tion concerning the annual convention,
to be held in this city April 26th and

1.-The earnest endeayor of the COM
mittee will be to make the convention
eqaa to those gone before, laying stress
upon the topics that will be of greatest
help to the greatest number of schools
in the State. These conventions have,
in the past, been helpful; it is hoped
to enlarge the scope each year. We take
great pleasure in announcing that the
Rev. e. M. Fergussen, State secretary
Of New Jersey Sunday school Associa-
tion. will be with us. Many will remem-
Der with pleasure and great profit his
attendauce'at the convention of 1893,
and anticipate hearing him again.

tainment will be provided for duly ao-
credited delegates. Each school in the
State il entitled to representation by
pastor, superintendent aud tive dele
gates, and all delegates entitled to
entertainment, provided proper notice
is given.
HOrders for reduced railroad fare will
not be issued this year. The best
obtainable rate is only that Of the
ordinary excursion ticket, while the
use of orders would make much extra
trouble for us, the railroad agents and
delegates. Instruct your delegates to
ask for three-day excursion ticket"

CABLE LETTER FROM LONDON.

London, Eng, April IA. EASTER eggs.
this season, are decorated with pictllres
OF Gen. Lord Roberts and Union Jacks
with shamrocks and Irish harris inter
woven Oh their grounds. A spirit Of IA.
joicing pervades the country, which Ia
not at all justified by the progress N
British arms in South Africa. Never.
theless, England needs stoid outlet
for the enthusiasm over rast victories
for the escape OF the Prince of Wales
and for the prosperous times that hays
benefited the country: so, 1T is small
wonder that an unprecedented flood Of
excursopists is leaving London over
Coed Friday and Easter Monday

Comparatively few Britishers ara
likely to attend the Paris Exposition,
Seven months ago, thousands ware
planning tic leave A lbion to visit Paris,
but since the anti-English press in
r, has become SO venomous, almost
all interest seems to have been lost in
what promised to be one Of the greatest
expositions of the century. Punch's
cartoon, this week. represents Punch
bowling to Mistress Paris, and wishing
her good fortune, but this does not rem
resent in the slightest degree popular
opinjon, for, as the Globe says, "tbs
British people are rot going to the

Young Somers Somerset, the son Of
Lady Henry Somerset, who is widely
known in America, has been deprived
of his chances of becoming Duke Of
Beaufort by the birth OF son to the
present holder of that title. For years,
young Somerset had been the heir.ap.
parent to the dukedom, al hitherto the
Duke OF Beaufort only had two
daughters; but now, for the fist time
in century and half. Marquis Of
Worcester has been born, and Somerset,
during the life of this young Marquis,
| will never he called His Grace.
| Designer Fife is busy making plans
for improving the yacht Shamrock. lie
has had testing tank fitted up, ysri
GUS models are being tried, and the re.
suits are carefully tabled, to enable him
to redraft the lines Of the defeated cup
challenger. 1t is said that Fife has q
free hand in making any alterations
he may see fit.
The spring inflow of Americans has
begun, and, while many of the visitors
are already hurrying to Paris the
hotels and other public resorts give
| ample evidence of the return of the
tide of American travel. Not since
last midsummer has Southampton pre-.
sented q buster appearance than yester.
day, when the American liner st. Paul
arrived with long list of theatrical
people and general tourists.

THE RAILWAY DECISION.

Wilmington City Railway Held to Be More
Secure in Its Position Than Ever Before.
Chancellor Nicholson's decision in
the Sixth street railway case Wednesday
week was very widely discussed. On some
OF the points covered by the decision
there was some difference OF opinion as
to their effect. 1t was thought ty some
that II the granting of right t. one
company to enter Wilmington acted as
a revocation of the exclusive right of
the Wilmington City Railway Co. that
then it would be possible to secure a
charter under the general incorporation
act that would meet the situation.
But ii appears that this is impossible
on account of provision of the new
Constitution that the charter of COM
pany cannot be revoked except for
misuse, abuse or non. use, The Legis-
lature can no longer grant charters.
This provision taken in connection
with the ChanceIlor's decision il held
to make the Wilmington City Railway
Go. more secure than ever before in it's
position of claiming exclusive rights
within the city.

while the likeness remains. And think
pf two other we'll. known paintings,
Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem
and then His lifeless body on the cross.
There can be no greater contrast than
these two subjects and yet there Is no
doubt as to the likeness of the Man in
each.
And thus it is that in painting like
ness Of Christ there seems to be some
thing with the artists of all nationali-
ties that puts into the brush faculty
for portraying the likeness of person.
ality one has in ones mind,
Take the painters of all schools and
of all ages and of all countries, it is the
same unvarying likeness.
Ciniabrie Geollo, Fra Angelica,
Titan, Corriggie, Da Vinci, Raphael,
Durer, Holbein, Murillo and the rest
have put one conception of Ghrist's
face, though they all vary as to the
momentary expression according to
THEN manner of dealing with the SUBJ
iect.
The Church Of Christ then seems to
have neither been a deceiver or to have
been deceived. 1t still holds in its
keeping the likeness of Christ. Years
| grow old, centuries pass and the old
| guards pass with them not to return,
| but Easter returns and what Osiris
was to the Egyptians, what Adonis was
to the Greek that, at least. Christ is to
the Christian and to the painter. The
representation of Christ directly or in.
directly has been ithe object of Christian
Art in every stage, even when devout.
