the triumphant joy of Easter you must
have followed the Passion and Cruel
fixion of Jesus during the Holy week
that Is past. 1t is with a view to the
right keeping of Easter, with its COM
memoration of an event which is the
keystone OF the Christian Faith, that the
preceding week is kept with solemn ser
vices. and the recital of our Saviour's
Passion day by day. Those of you who
failed 10 do so cannot expect to enter
into the inner spirit of Easter whilst
you join in its outward observance.
Never in the history of the world did
an event happen contrary to all ex-
perience and all expectation even or
those who had been nearest to the per-
son of our Lord. Consider how the three
years of His public ministry, which clos
ed with tragedy of Calvary, would have
been Viewed by the public of Jerusalem
on that Sabbath day, the anniversary OF
which came round yesterday. With what
scorn and contempt would the movement
he had inaugurated been spoken or.
How His claims to have been the Mes
siah would have been ridiculed! If in
His life they had attributed His miracles
to Beelzebub, how much more after His
death OF shame and ignominy. To all
appearance all the hopes He had inspired
were now absolutely extinguished. OF
the crowds who once had followed Him,
and had hung on His words none now
believed in Him. OF His chosen twelve
one had been the traitor, another had
denied that he knew Him, and the rest
had fed And so He, whom on the Sun
day previous men saluted as their King
and Messiah, whom they would have put
on the throne of David, had He but un-
furled the banner of Judah, had ignomin-
iously as men thought perished, forsak-
en-. friendless and alone.
How different IL would have been, we
can imagine men saying. if he had not
been so uncompromising, and had not
gone counter to public opinion. With
little policy he might have won the sup
port of one at least of the parties into
which Jerusalem was divided. But in
stead of this He had alienated them al

though narrow minded Pharisees made
common cause with irreligious, materlai-
istic Sadducees with whom they had
nothing in common but common hatred
of the Man who had fearlessly denounc-
ed the hypocrisy of the one. and the un-
belief of the other: and both these united
with the political Herodians.
Who would dare to espouse cause, or

One Man Quits Season
Winner $4,000 On Track

"Ionp shots" at the race tracks
have made p. J. King. of Chicago, in
dependently rich, says the Chicago
American.
With over S15O,O0O of the bookmak-
er's cash in his bank roll and re-
cord of having administered more
heart aches to the bookmaking fra
ternity than any other of the local
race followers, the new plunger has
decided to quit plunging for this sea-
son and give the "bookies' n chance
to recover.
The last six months have made for
King the reputation of being the
most daring pIunger on long shots
that has struck the Chicago race
track in years. The operations OF
John w. Gates and John \. Drake,
while in some instances heavier than
those of King. were nevertheless of
short duration, and therefore not
productive of wide comment as those
of PATSY" King, as he is Familiarity
called.
The sensations at all the tracks this
year were not caused by reversal in
form of certain favored horses on
the victories of outsiders. Most of
them were caused by the operations
of King and his followers, who won
thousands and thousands of dollars
daily on the most daring ventures.
Ten thousand dollars on one race
was a common bet with King this
summer. Three times that amount
has often been winning on one
horse.
\ quarter of a million dollars was
at one time in sight as the profits oil
his daring. but a few reverses of the
past three weeks cut that down. TIL,
| plunger retires with fatter banl
roll than any other bettor that ha,
tackled the races.
During the visit here of the Gates
Drake combination, King and the tive
big cogs in that crowd were frequent
ly together. Wild as were the storie:
of Gates plunging at Saratoga, it i:
nevertheless told of him that h,
stood by in amazement watching the
apparently reckless plunging of King
at Washington park during the sum
mer meet.
On one occasion Gates saw King be-
