Washington, April THE great
Christian festival celebrated in all the
churches is the theme of DR.. Talmage's
discourse; /. Corinthians, 1890: NOW
is Christ risen from the dead and be-
come the first fruits of them that
slept"
On this glorious Easter morning,
amid the music and the flowers, / give
you Christian salutation. This morn
ing, Russian meeting Russian on the
streets of St. Petersburg, hanls him
with the salutation: Christ is risen!"
and Is answered by his friend in salr-
tation: 'He is risen indeed" In some
parts of England and Ireland to this
very day there is the superstition that
on Easter morning the sun dances in
the heavens. And well may we forgive
such a superstition, which illustrates
the fact that the natural world seems
to sympathize with the spiritual.
Hail, Easter morning! Flowers!

them a-tongue, all of them full of
