THE RESURRECTION.
Esith OF the Disciples n Strong PROOF
Doubt Dispelled by Ir-
resistible Evidence

The resurrection of Jesus Christ
stands out in history as fact, UNIQUE
and transcendent. Next in point of
wonder TO the fact itself are the
readiness and thoroughness with
which the belief in this fact rooted
itself in the deepest convictions of
mankind. 1t is difficult to account for
the faith except upon the basis of
the reality Of the fact. The disciples
themselves were far from being a
company of expectant and credulous
ones. The cross had shattered their
hopes. The grave in the rich mans
garden was to them the burial place
of hope. Instead of being in q frame
OF mind to invent q resurrection. they
were rather in mood to regard the
resurrection as an illusion. "The
words of the woman" who first saw
the empty tomb seemed to them
as idle tales and they believed them
not" Conviction had to win iss wav
into sad and incredulous hearts. Tho
evidence was irresistible. There was
no room for delusion. There could be
no explaining away of the proofs.
They were many" and "infallible."
The faith of these first disciples was
shared by others. 1t arose, not in a
corner, or among barbarian people,
but in a cultivated metropolis. There
We're political and religious parties
who not only had opportunity to sift
and rebut the evidence, but also were
interested in proving it, if possible, a
defusion or an imposture. Yet the be-
lief spread, in the very city in which
the tragedy of the crucifixion had
taken place.. and while the witnesses
of that dark deed still lived. 1t be-
came the central idea of the new
faith, and the inspiration of mission

the doctrine of the resurrection es-
tabhshed itself. 1t won acceptance
from the leaders of the worlds

to this it has been one of the springs
or the worlds higher life. The men
and the nations who have contributed
most largely to the worlds advance
have been nursed and made strong in
this faith in the resurrection. Take
this away and you destroy the very
handspring of the worlds moral and
spiritual progress.-Baptist Union.

SATURDAY, MAY IL 1900
JOY coMETH IN THE MORNING.

When cruel hate had slain,
And by loves hands was lain
The Saviour's body in the somber tomb
Then fell the night of woe
On-hearts that loved Him So
That all things earthly seemed to sink in
gloom.
No sound was heard. where slept their
dead,
Save the low night-bird's cry and Roman
sentry's tread.
o mournfuI is the state
OF those who can but. wait
With hands that yoGrn some deed of love
to dol
Slow passed the waning night,
Until the morning light
Had pierced the sable curtain through and
through,
Tingeing the eastern sky with gray.
Which soon to crimson turned before the
King of Fay.
Ere this the Magdalene,
With loves Impotence keen,
Had sought the place where her dear Mas
ter lay;
The spices that she bore
On Him she will outpour,
IL she can find n friend to roll the stone
away.
Her heart is heavy with its loss,
And Just to live is now LIES heaviest
cross.
How could the birds sing SO
In presence of her woe!
Or did they know their Maker was not
dead;
And the wild flowers rare,
Did they, too, know and care.
Aud for their Lord their richest fragrance
shed7
But naught can still her beating heart
or bid the gloom from out her soul depart.
Yet great Is the surprise
That in the garden lies.
Waiting her coming on that blessed morn:
Angels, and cen the Lord,
Shall her pure love reward,
And an undying hope in human hearts be
born.
Sing birdsi sing heartsi the night is past.
And the glad morning time of Joy is come

One OF the greatest discoveries of
physiology is that we once had six
senses. What the lost sense was no
one knows, and probably no one will
ever know. But that our forefatbers
possessed it there is no doubt, for the
remains OF that part of the brain in
which 1t resided are still to be seen in
any one of us.
These remains are simply a small and
now perfectly useless little mass of
brain substance, called the pituitary
BODY. 1t consists of two tiny little
oval lobes Joined together, and lying in
a little cavity of the skull. strangely
named the sella turcica, and situated
over and behind the nose. 1t is quite
possible that it may have enabled our
forefathers to see in the dark before
lamps and candles were invented. or IL
may have placed them in communion
with ghosts and fairies, or it may have
oeen an organ that enabled them to go
nome In bee line when they lost their
way in the primeval forests.
On the other hand, 1t is possible tha.
1t was a bad substitute for vision or
smell or hearing, and was let die ont
when the improved sense organ deveI-

British sharks are very substantial
iacts, the largest of them is an inocuous
giant that basks in the sunshine and
perhaps feeds on nothing larger than
shrimp. But the blue shark and por-
beagle, both OF which grow to a length
OF several yards and a weight OF hun
dreds OF pounds, are vicious pests and
most unwelcome on the fishing
grounds. The former takes his favorite
pleasure In eating mackerel out OF the
nets, doing as much damage In its dis

The porbeagle is somewhat less ac-

toir to the boat, the porbeagle is usual

Horrible Destruction

A tree the fruit of which impaired a
knowledge of good and evil stood in
the Garden-and it was to appearance
an attractive tree. It's seeds have been
scattered over the earth, and it grows
in seductive groves in every land. The
innocent could only eat the fruit of that
tree by sin. Knowing only innocence,
they could not know evil but by in
curing it. We still try to live in the
paradise, and to forget the knowledge
of good and evil-evil in its grosser
forms-by hiding our eyes from it. The
great mass of respectable people have
never seen into the portals of Gehenna,
and 1T is better fortheir peace of mind
that they never should. One does not
want the frescoes of his memory shot
with jets of slime. And yet-and vet
we must not live in n fools paradise.
We must not act as if we were living in
an ideal world of our own imagining.

knowledge of the upas tree of evil

necessary knowledge from blissful and
mentally healthful ignorance-but if
anyone shall attempt to survey that

and care-giving problem on his hands.
A minister says that he is to preach
the Gospel; that the Gospel is good
news, and that he intends to carry
good news; he wishes to lift UP Jesus
Christ and everything that is of His
kingdom. But he will find that he
cannot paint all in white. One cannot
bring out the beauty of a snow scene
in photograph unless he have SOM

Ject to set over against it. One must
realize the horrible repulsion of sin be-
fore he can be steadfast in his footing
and be safe in his steps.
We would say, tentatively, and as not
being sure we are right, that one must
have a sufficient observational knowl-
edge OF sin to be able to understand
the meaning of the word-that neces-
sary much, but not needfully more.
