ton goes back even farther. He helped
build the first Union Pacific bridge across
the Missouri river in 1872, and he has been
the faithful vigil at the rivers edge ever
since.
The eventful storm Of August 25, 1877,
came early in the morning, about $3.50. II
was the elimination Of a series of strong
winds which had prevailed for several
days. Tremendous rains had distorted the
old Missouri then as now, and 1t was leap
ing its banks in many places. Excessive
tides caused the treacherous stream to
form a cut-on, and for days the railroad
company, fearing damage to its bridge, kept
forces OF men at work throwing in riprap
on the east side. as indications were that
the channel would sweep against the Iowa
approach. Thus the destruction Of the
eastern extremity Of the bridge had been
anticipated.
Mr.. Pearson's shanty was situated at
that time on the lows side of the river in
stead Of on the Nebraska side, as It is to-
day. He saw the fatal storm coming, in
a few seconds heard the tremendous roar
and splash as the two spans of the bridge
were twisted from their pillars and hurled
into the water.
1t was a thrilling experience for him,
and came near being a fatal one. His little
shanty went down with the last span Of
the bridge, which rested with one end on
the Iowa bank. while the other end was in

I"1HE COLLAPSE of the Union Pa

t&sfS% bridge Monday. though far less
- serious in results, recalls the ter
rife storm OF August rs, 1877, which swept
away two spans Of the bridge at the east
ern extremity. The accident Monday
displaced probably 1900 cubic yards of
roadbed, destroyed three sets of tracks on
the north side of the embankment and ne
cessitated improvisions in trackage to OBJ
viate interference with trafic, thus avoid

ever. In all the loss and inconvenience
Is considerable, but Insignificant as COM

The accident Monday did not interfere
with the passage of trains a minute, while
that Of August rs. 1877, shut OF trafic over
the bridge for several months. There is
one feature alike in both, however; there
were no lives lost In either case, though
In the former one narrowly escaped.
John Pearson, a Waterman at the en-
trance Of the Union Pacific bridge on the
Nebraska side, was a witness to the minia-

II am He that liveth forever" Read
his history. What is it? A little while
here in the earth life Death. The
tomb. Life. This is the history OF
Christ. On the one side grief, on
the other JOY, lying between them the
scpulchre. That is his history. Does rot
his word teach us that is the history
OF all those who live in him aud have
hope in him? What has earth to give
to all men but that? Here we live Il
little while, then death and the tomb
on the earthward side. On the heaven
ward side JOY and gladness forever. As
our Saviour died, was buried, rose, so
the teaching of the Word is that even
also them that sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him. q, glorious Easter
message!
Not only, however, should this be
the force Of that message to Christian
hearts, but as it comforts US who re
main when loved ones pass beyond, it
should, it seems to me, also have the
power to deliver US, so that when that
hour comes, even that hesitancy that
sometimes fills our minds when it
comes will pass away, and we will be
able in that hour to say with the psalm
ist, yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, will
fesr no evil.
But the message has not only COM
fort, not only power to comfort in the
hour of sorrow, not only power to de-
stroy human fear, it has power for a
| new meaning over the life that we live
here and now, to give new direction
to character and to conduct. How
narrow is the range of our living apart
from the resurrection and its power. 1t
gives us inspiration or aspiration,
whatever you may call it, for a new
life, for a nobler life, and as the in
spiration comes to US this day, it gives
power to carry into effect these reso-
lutions.
AT THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
The services were conducted by Rev.
W. S. Holmes. His sermon was elo-
quent and forceful, the truth being pre-

THE MUSIC
In all the churches was by select
choirs. The numbers were sweet and
selected with reference to the morn of
the Resurrection, and rendered with
feeling, waiting the thought and touch
ing the heart with joy and gladness,
mingling with the fragrance of the
flowers the voice of praise and prayer
to him who is the nope of mankind.
