THE DAY OF RESURRECTION.

The Baptist Union topic for April ~
Easter. is found in John XII, 21-27; 4O-44
Easter is one of the most joyous of the
Christian festivals 1t speaks of those
who have in sadness been taken from
loved ones on earth. but 1t speaks also
or hope-yea. even of assurance of resur-
rectfon from the dead and reunion with
loved ones.
Blessed hope of Eastertide. first heard
Wnen the angels announced the fact that
christ was risen from the dead and never
to cease to be heard till earth and sea
snail give up their dead and those who
died In Christ, having risen, shall reign
win MN forever and forever!
In consideration of the fact that Christ
was divine as well as human and could
see and understand life beyond the grave,
what He had to say about the resurrec-
tlon becomes of infinite Importance
The Old Testament Scriptures. while
giving us some information upon the sub
Ject of the future, is not as definite and
comprehensive upon the subject as we
might wish, and yet even here we are lrot
without encouragement to our faith This
Is shown in Martha's reply to Christ's
statement concerning the resurrection. Il
KNOW she says. that He will rise again
at the resurrection in the last day" Evil
IDENTIFY therefore Martha had faith in a
resurrection at the last day, and this
was true of most of the Jews.
n Inc Pharlsees at least had derived frkS
Psalms. Daniel and Ezekiel-a belief in
both the immortality of the soul and the
resurrection of the body. And it is with
JOY that we hail the fact that Christ
abundantly corroborated their faith upon
these subjects.

THE DANGER OF IDLENEss.

The Epworth League topic for April -
Is found in Proverbs XIV, 30-31; Romans
xii, II. The first thought would be that
we of this age and nation are not open
to the charge of idleness. We are
usually represented as intensely active
We believe ourselves to be busy and fully
occupied. We seem to be ever on the
ger to us from idleness? Ought we not
rather to be eXhorted to slow down and
take matters more quietly and cultivate
little more the habit Of leinure, If not
of idleneSs?
Closer attention may show us that
while we are unduly active In some
things we may be entirely idle and mega
ligent in others. While cultivating one
field others have been neglected
1. There Is the matter of church at
tendance. A person may work so hard
all the week that when Sunday comes it
seems almost physician necessity to rest
labor. 1t is such hard work to get up in
time for morning service. Then If one
does go all tired = 1T the service does not
seem to do muoh good. The sermon is
mind is on business, and perhaps it is bet-
ter to stay at home and rest That is the
excuse made by many
2. The same is true in regard to the
y few of our young people have acquired
the habit of regular bible reading for de-
Votlonal purposes. If they are in the Sun
day SCHOOL they may or may not give
son. Outside of this the bible is not con-
suited from one weeks beginning to an
other by very many who are Christians
and members of the Sunday school What
therefore is our duty?
3. Read the things which aid IN tha
knowledge and love of God mrre than any
other literature.

dence while approaching the city. Then
they can the more readily propose
stopping at the same hotel, visiting
the same theater, or otherwise keep UP
the acquaintance,
The only safe way is to always be
cautious about taking strangers into
your confidence, telling them of your
private affairs, or your D,an5 and OBJ
jects in the city, and never to expose
your money needlessly to public view,
or to engage in any game for money
or any bet. -
Never loan money on the security Of
a strangers watch or other property;
never give change for large bank notes
on checks to oblige unknown parties,
and be shy of all strangers expressing
undue interest in your affairs, or pay
ing you any special attention.
The manner in which they operate
varies with circumstances They
watch an opportunity to speak or to

THE RESURRECTION.

The Internationa! Sunday school lesson
for April y is found III I. Corinthians, Xv.,
2O-2l, 50-5S: The golden text is the TWEEN
tieth verse. This lesson, from an epistle
has been chosen because Of its appro-
priateness to Easter. In this chapter
Paul shows the Importance of the doc
trine OF the resurrection. IF Christ hath
not been raised, then is our preaching
vain, your faith also is vain Unless
dead from whom we have parted are alive,
and none that we shall live In another
world. Now see how convincing and tri-
umphant is PauPs argument.
This IS the day when we, and all the
Church of Christ celebrate a great vic
tory. What do we call the day? Golden
text? Who wrote that? It was Paul writ
ing to his church at Corinth, to encour-
age and comfort them as to the dear ones
who had died. If Christ had not died
and risen again, it would be sad indeed
10 part with our loved ones. But he died
and rose. the victor over death and the
grave. Our songs, these lilies, all the
Easter joys, are to celebrate the victory
Christ won over death. We need not
fear death; Christ has been through it.
Hhe grave has no power over those he
saves.
But Christ's victory cost. He came to
earth and lived life of sorrow and toll,
without sin. He went about doing good;
he taught the people; he trained his dis
ciples, so patiently and carefully; he pray
suffered and died for us. And then came
the glorious day when God gave the seal
OF victory, and he rose from the dead.
Are we ready to Join Christ in this
struggle? to give ourselves to be his faith
full disciples, daily to be like Him, trust
ing His word? Are we ready to bear our
cross to suffer with Him? Then He will
let US have a share in His victory.

TRICKS FOR THE UNWARY,

Strangers in large cities are subject
to a species of imposition varying in
its details, but known by the general
title of confidence game" The name
explains the thing; which consists in
making the acquaintance Of persons
who appear unused to city ways and
then inducing them to visit some
gambling establishment, or engage in
some bet or game of hazard with APP
parent strangers, but real confederates
Of the sharper.
Sometimes the confidence man will
take his victim round to see the sights,
suddenly find he has only bank note
of large amount, but insists on pay
ing the joint expenses, only asking his
companion to change the note for him.
Or he with suddenly explain that it is
after banking hours, and he has a
check that ought to have been cashed.
and asks his companion to cash it for
him.
There are other lodges, and the
sharpers adopt many DISCUSSES, gar-
ing rustic, substantial farmer or coun-
try merchant gentleman of means

character they think most likely to
disarm suspicion. These men are Oft
en- we'll educated and gentlemanly.

BUT NOT FOR INVESTORS.

Missouri is determined to eliminate
turf-investment companies from the
state and suppress local poolrooms
The new racing bill recently passed
by the Missouri legislature permits of
wagering on speed contests, but re-
stricts the privilege to the grounds
where the races are conducted. The
new bill prohibits foreign bookmaking,
and surrounds the speculation conces-
sion with such safeguards as are in
tended to protect the public from the
Vaccinations of gamblers. To eVade
the law syndicates We're organized that
guaranteed a weekly per cent divi-
dend on an investment in their cor
porations, The investor paid his mon
ey and received a certificate which
represented so much capital stock on
which weekly dividends were paid.
The manipulators of the turf invest
nent companies always held the adj
vantage of the stockholders, for they
| could pay forced dividend without
making wager until the investors
capital was exhausted. The officials
could report a series of losses in spec
ulationS that never occurred and wipe
out the entire capital stock at any
time.
The sophistry Of the prospectus of
the companies was enough to condemn
the scheme with all honest speculat-
ors. The fact that they guaranteed to
pay the stockholders over 800 per cent
annually on the capital stock was
enough to condemn the visionary pre-
tensions of these turf Investments.
Such a bonanza is too good to admit
to public participation, and if conduct
ed on a gigantic scale would bankrupt
every racing association in the world.
Consider the stupendous assumption of
an income of $4,000 a year on an in
vestment of $1,000 earned in hazard
of betting on races. The history of
the average Spectator is that he fin
! ishes a bankrupt; but these investment
companies deceive their clientage with
| the delusion that they can tell which
horse in any kind Of a field at any
weight or distance is going to win.

NOTABLE DAYS OF THE WEEK.

April y is Easter, the festival of the
resurrection, or the Christian Passover.
The, early Christians differed in regard
to the, time of celebrating Easter The
Council Of Nice. In 325, however, adopted
the rule which makes Easter the first
Sunday after the full moon, which hap
pens upon or next after March 21; and
If the full moon happens on a Sunday,
Easter day is the Sunday thereafter. BY
this arrangement, Easter came. as early
as March y. or as late as April %. The

Ing OF Easter, saluted each. other with
the response was: Christ is risen in
deed" The Greek church still retains the
custom. In various countries different
sports, ceremonies and superstitions pre-
vail with the recurrence of Easter. At
Rome and in Catholic centers the day is
celebrated with great pomp. Since the
civil war In the United States some of
the Protestant churches vie with the
Catholics In decorations Of lilies and other
flowers. and lady members vie with each
other in new gowns and hats. In the
early days the Protestants did not honor
the day owing to the prominence given
to 1T by the Catholics, but that spirit of
Intolerance has largely disappeared. Even

CMrF Investments
Quick Money.

If the syndicate were operated hon
estly the stockholders would certainly
lose their money as inevitably as
though posted by individual members
of the companies.
The largest syndicate operating as a
turf investment company the e. J.
Arnold company, was the first to dis
continue business and ask for a re-
ceiVer. The bubble burst with the an
nouncement that the syndicate was in
solvent and the REDEMPTION of stock
certificates discontinued. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the liabilities of tho
company will aggregate 81, OOO.O ana
the assets 100000. Stockholders will
probably be held as legal partners and
have to share the pro rata loss of the
$500, 900.
The activity of the Missouri state
officials in suppressing this illegal and
visionary speculation will no doubt be
followed by interdicting the operations
of turf investment companies in other
states. Six turf investment companies
suspended payment and 10000 victims
stand to lose $780, 900. Owing to the
collapse of the get-rich-quick turf syn
dicates the st. Louis grand jury has
commenced a thorough investigation,
with view Of prosecuting the leaders
and promoters. The insolvency Of
these visionary investment companies
and the disappearance of over $780,
600 will be such a staggering blow to
small spectators that they will not
dabble soon with the sport.
! The desire to get money with some
people is so great that in their zeal
they forget to be strictly honest. The
greatest desideratum of life seems to
get money, and how you get it is not so
important, apparently, just so you get
1t. 1t is no wonder, then, that there are
clever traps set to catch the unsus-
pecting, who In their mad rush for
wealth do not always look where they
are going. Swindlers thrive because
the swindled do not like publicity and
therefore refrain from prosecution. rs
a rule the man who wants to take
short cut to wealth by means of gam
bling is not deserving of much sympa-
thy II he loses. Still there are many
innocent victims entrapped by enticing
bait who should have the protection Of
| the law.
