HERoIsM is an attribute which
fastens itself upon individuals of no
particular creed, race or color. and
when it is found among the meek
and lowly-such as have no prestige
10 maintain, no ambition to serve-it
becomes all the more noble. AS true
type of heroism, probably, as has
been observed in human history is
such as was displayed by two little
virginia negro waits tits week. The
dispatches of Tuesday contained the
following news item:
AT Suffolk, Va, Edward and Robert
E'ey lcoiored) on Sunday gave up their
own lives In frantic effort to save their
eight-year-old brother who had got be-
You'd his depth In Scott's Greek. and
who was being borne away by the cur.
rent. Their fraternal devotion and
seif'sacrifiee has made OF them little
negro heroes. A spectator says the two
elder boys could have come ashore when
they realized the futility of dragging out
.heir brother. but they would not, and in
the strong embrace of death, their arms
locked about each others neck, the three
brothers went down together and never
came back till the dead bodies were
brought up with graphing hooks.

A Great Newspaper.

THE Sunday edition of the st. Louis
l. Republic is a marvel of modern
newspaper enterprise. The organization
of its news service is worldwide, COM
plete in every department; in fact, su-
perior to that of any other newspaper.
The magazine section is illustrated in
daintily tinted colors and splendid half
tone pictures. This section contains
more high-class literary matter than any
of the monthly magazines. The fash
ions illustrated in natural colors are es-
pecially valuable to the ladies'.
The colored comic section is a genuine
laugh-maker. The funny cartoons are
by the best artists. The humorist sto-
ries are high class, by authors of ma
tional reputation.
Sheet music, a high-class, popular
song, is furnished free every Sunday in
the Republic.
The price of the Sunday Republic by
mail one year is So. For sale by all
news dealers.

Easter.

Again next Sunday we will
welcome the glad Easter morning,
with its story of resurrection and
life.
Easter is rightly called the
Queen Festival of the Church.
1t commentaries the breaking of
the bonds of death, the remorse-
less tyrant. It is a day that is
meant to lead to a new and truer
life. Spring itself, with its awak-
ening life, seems an inevitable
symbol of the Christians faith.
It teaches a new life after life is
apparently at an end, and it comes
at a season when all nature abouds
in object lessons to illustrate its
teachings. The sprouting seed,
the budding flower, the awaken
ing of many forms of animal life
after the long and deathlike sleep
of winter, all tend to increase in
man the desire for life and the
horror of humiliation. They
teach him that what seemed decay
was but the beginning of more
beautiful life, inspire him with the
belief in something higher than a
mere material existence and that
nature must have for her latest
and greatest offspring somewhere
a better and purer state than the
disjointed and fragmentary life of
this world, and thus cause him to
turn with joy and gladness to the
Revelation, in which he finds his
highest and noblest aspirations
realized.

Gods Answer,

The cry Of man g anguish wentup to God;
"Lord, take away pain!
The shadows that darken the world thou
hast made,
The close coiling chain
That strangles the heart, the burden that
weighs
On the wings that would soar
Lord, take away pain from the world
thou hast made,
That it love thee the more!"
Then answered the Lord to the cry of
this world:
"Shall take away pain,
And with it the power of the soul to en-
dure,
Made strong by the strain?
Shall l take away pity that knits heart
to heart
And sacrifice high?
Will you lose all your heroes that lift
from the fire
White brows to the sky?
Shall / take away love that redeems with
price
And smiles at its loss?
Can We spare from your lives that would
climb unto mine
The Christ on the cross Pr
