to them sincerity and unimpaired intellectual vigor.
This being the case, must of necessity give
credit to their account of things of such nature
to be incapable of misapprehension.
Now, the resurrection of Jesus Christ of such
a nature that they could have been deceived con-
corning it, 1t is possible that single might
be betrayed by illusion; but who will believe that
many and in the same manner, could have been
beguiled by such illusion, and that among so
many there should not be with clearer sight or
better judgment to detect the mistake and correct
the others? Will you believe such mracle2
1t is possible that any one of the senses might
have been led into error; and let suppose, even
that they believed they saw what in fact did not
exist. Will any one assert that the Apostles one
and all heard and touched and felt what did not
exist? In that farewell to all physical certainty
which must rest upon the testimony of the senses
combined.
The principles thus far enunciated no one,
think, will impugn.
Let then briefly consider the narration of events
set forth by these men, whose sincerity, for the
moment, do not question and we shall see that
the facts too palpabe to be placed in the cate
CORY of events likely to mislead common sense and
ordinary intelligence
The disciples assert that He whose close friend
ship they had enjoyed without ntermssion for three
years manifested Himself, not to one only, but to
a multitude to Magdalen, to Peter, to two disciples
to all the Apostles, to five hundred assembled to-
gether. The places of the appartions mentioned

chamber, on the shore of the lake, on a mountain

the one asserting that Jesus Christ is risen,
and is therefore God the other denying the
rection and all its consequences.
The Apostles assert in ambiguous words that
Jesus Christ rose from the dead. By their words,
their character their deeds their lives must stand
fall their testimony. we accept not their words
must be ready to prove that they were either
unwlingly deceived or conscious deceivers. If
either be shown, then does Christianity crumble
into dust; for upon the testimony of these men
rests principally the belief in the resurrection of
Jesus Christ; for eff Christ be not risen from the
dead then is faith in vain" If the disciples
neither dupes hypocrites, then, according
to all laws of right reason their words with all their
consequences, must prevail.
Which position is the more favorable to the side
of doubt and unbelief? Were they in good faith or
they deceivers?-for upon the one subject they
cannot be clothed with double character. Were
they deceived, then they could not have desired to
deceive others. Were they imposters then they
themselves were not in good faith Thus either
they believed what they positively asserted, or
they knew full well that they proclaimed lie
The prevailing sentiment of unbelief to-day is
to regard the disciples as honest but misguided men,
in which case must suppose that they nothing
at all, or beheld something which resembled Jesus
Christ. Is this possible? Granted that they were
sincere men, prepared to accept their own
account of their dispositions, of their thoughts,
of their own words and deeds, of the places where
they were at different times.
To assert that all this too is only conjecture of
selfdeception would imply that they were mentally

Him. that of their number in the presence of all
of the others put his fingers into the wounds of the
crucifed hands. Is it possible to believe that this
is all a hallucination2
They were ignorant men, it is true; but when there
is question of facts palpabe to the senses, the
testimony of uneducated man is good that
of a philosopher. Certainly their preconceived
notions did not lead them to expect such event
the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We must credit the sincerity of their testimony
concerning themselves. Did the Magdaen give
evidence of expecting the resurrection, when she
accosted Him in the garden without recognition?
Is such evidence to be found in the conduct of the
two disciples the road to Emmaus, who spoke
to the Lord, knowing him not? Is it to be found
in the unbelieving attitude of the Apostles them
selves and especially of Thomas? Is there any pos
sible ground for a reasoning man to contend that
the Apostles though sincere, were deluded?
Belief consistently asserts its adherence to mys-
teries. If the disciples deceived, then must
unbelief become belief by inconsistency accepting
a truth which it cannot explain. Belief will not,
and unbelief cannot, afford to admit that the dis
cples deceived. Were they then hypocrites?
We accustomed to regard them saints
but let imagine the contrary. Let us suppose
that they led-lied to their consciences and to
the world, lied in order to overthrow the religion
in which they had been trained Let us suppose
that they fabricated system of idolatry. Can
YOU conceive of such unalloyed wckedness in igno-
rant men-men who taught the highest morality,
who preached and practised every virtue, who
demned every vice, who prescribed duties most
onerous and disagreeabe to human nature, who
taught with such simplicity, who narrated the most
wonderful events without marvel elaboration,

can we credit such evil of men
who reaped SO little reward from
their temerity, who suffered such
persecution, such fortunes, and
who finally gave their ife's blood
for their boldness?
Such great villainy as we have
conceived could not be wanting

to sweep away forever from the

MORE LIGHT AND LESS NoIsE.-A
member of the bar of York county.
Me-, who enjoys a good joke, relates
the following, and applies the moral to
himself. Several years ago he was
counsel in a case before the late Chief
Justice Peters, and during the progress
Of the trial became a little bit noisy,
as he sometimes does, when the Judge
looked up and said to him:
Mr. Hamilton. did you ever hear Of
the man who was lost in the woods
during q thunder Storm"
On being answered in the negative,
the Judge continued:
"a man in attempting to pass
through a piece of woods lost his way,
and while he was in that predicament
a fearful thunder storm came up. The
woods grew awfully dark. The roar
ing Of the wind and the crashing Of the
thunder was terrific. The man was
frightened, and started to pray, but.
not being used to that business, said:
20 Lord, give US a little more light
and a little less noise!"
There was a great wave Of merri-
ment in court, the sheriff raped for
order, and the counsel proceeded in a
we'll modulated tone Of voice.

The Farmer and the Auto.

Some years ago soon after the auto
mobiles began to be used throughout
the United States, an agent of a New
York house turned up at a village in
central New York. He explained to an
old farmer the virtues Of the new ma
chine, dwelling upon what a time saw
er 1t was, and withal how fashionable
1t would be for the farmer to be able
to ride down to the village in one Of
the new tangled machines whenever
he wanted to.
Why" said the salesman, when
ever you go to the postoffice, bank or
store, everybody will stop and stare at
Farmer Wilson, and pretty soon you
will be the most talked Of man in the
whole country"
The farmer thought he needed
COW more than an auto, but finally
agreed to let the agent bring one OF
the machines over. When the agent
returned with it some days later the
farmer took him in charge and carried
him out to the lot and showed him a
fine Jersey cow.
That's what 1 bought with the
money 1 saved UP for you." said the
farmer. And without waiting for the
agent to recover from his surprise he
went on: Il lowed I needed the COW
morn I did the machine, and there,
amt she a beaut?"
When the agent recovered his breath
he said:
You'll look funny riding that cow
to town. won't your
"Ya-as," drawled the old farmer;
but I'd look a darned sight funnier
trying to milk an automobile"

boys behavior than the old commo-
dore showed he possessed when he
thus spoke; and no naval officer
could hope to win a finer epitaph.
We might meet today to do honor
to the mighty dead. Remember that
our words of admiration are but as
sounding brass and tinkling cymbals,
IL we do not by steady preparation
and by the cultivation Of soul and
mind and body, fit themselves so that
In time of need we shall be prepared
to emulate their deeds. Let every
midshipman who passes through this
institution remember, as he looks
upon the tomb Of John Paul Jones,
that, while no courage can atone for
the lack of that efficiency which
comes only through careful prepara-
ton in advance, through careful
training Of the men, and careful fit-
ting out engines of war, yet that none
Of these things can avail unless In
the moment Of crisis the heart rises
level with the crisis. The navy whose
captains will not surrender, are sure
in the long run to whip the navy
whose captains will surrender, unless
the inequality Of skill or force Is pro-
digious. The courage which never
yields cannot take the place Of the
possession of good ships and good
weapons, and the ability skilfully to
use these ships and these weapons;
but its presence will often atone for
many other shortcomings. and IL with
1t are combined the other military
qualities, the fortunate owner be-
comes literally invincible.
Addresses were delivered by Am

The audience rose and remained
standing while the body-bearers, Sc
lected from among the petty officers
Of the United States and French war
ships lifted the casket and bore 1t
from the armory. Just outside 1t was
placed upon a truck, drawn by long
lines Of sailors, and the procession
moved slowly towards Bancroft Hall.
The casket was followed by the
French and American naval officers
and the president and Admiral Sands.
When the casket had been placed be-

Clark said a brief prayer and the GER

ONLY THE GUILTY RUN.-The late
Edward Atkinson of Brookline used to
tell the following at his own expense:
In his boyhood he was one of a num-
ber of boys who used to play ball on
the Common, which was then against
the law. At regular intervals old
Erastus Clapp, the constable, would
bear down upon the trespassers and
put them to flight. The boys used to
have great fun with this rather chol-
eric old manifestations" Clapp the
boys dubbed him.
One day after Mr.. Atkinson had
grown up into a prosperous and res
pected business man, while passing
along Boston street in company with
a friend he recognized in a bent and
wizened old man the likeness of his old
acquaintance Constable Capp. Mr..
Atkinson Immediately addressed the
old fellow.
Don't you remember me, Mr..
Clapp?" he asked.
The old man leaned on his stick
and surveyed Mr.. Atkinson coldly.
Nav" he finally answered. and star
ted to hobble on.
why, I'm Eddie Atkinson, whom
you used to chase off the Common
years ago."
Clapp glared at him suspiciously, and
finally put an end to the interview,
much to the amusement of Mr.. Atkin-
sons friend, by saying sharply:
We'll, sir, no honest boy ever had
cause to run from me!"-Boston Her

INTRODUCING A LEcTURER.-Carl
Schurz in campaigning dozen years
ago, was making speeches in the west
and Eugene Field was detailed by a
Chicago paper to accompany him. In
a small town in Michigan, says the
New York Sun, no one had been selec-
ted to introduce the speaker. Schurz
and Field walked up on the platform.
and were greeted with a loud cheer.
Schurz asked the newspaper man to
introduce him, and Field. ambling to
the front of the PLATFORM said in a very
husky voice:
Ladies and shentlemens, l regred
dot haf such sore throat dot can
not address dis evening. l am very
sorry alretty for dis disappointment.
Howefer l am more dan pleased to tell
you dot haf with me my young your
nalistic friendt, Mr.. Eugene Field, Of
Chicago. und he will now speak to you
about steel rails"
When Field began this Introduction,
Schurz was puzzled. and when he con-
cluded it the speaker of the evening
looked angry. Despite Mr.. Schurz' s
preliminary explanation that he really
was Mr.. Schurz, the people who heard
him on that that occasion have been
divided in opinion as to whether the
speaker was Schurz or Field.

Influx From Europe.
Growth of Population.

The condition of things in many of
the governments of Europe cOntribut-
ed to increase the number of inhabi-
tants of South Carolina. Religious
persecution drove some of the best
men, with their families, from their
native land, to the New World. With
great propriety it may be said that
God opened up America that the OPP
pressed of every creed might find a
home in it's wilds-that the downtrod-
den might be free. 1t Is worthy OF
note that North America offered its ex-
tensive forests as an asylum to the
prosecuted Protestants of Europe.
About the year 1871. the Scotch-Irish
began to pour into South Carolina in
large numbers. The history of these
immigrants is intensely interesting.
and is intimately interviewer with the
history of South Carolina. Scotch
Irish is used in contra distinction to

But Scotch Irish had another signi-

came from Scotland and settled in Ire
land. Still, again, Scotch-1rish means
a class of persons, who at a very early
period were called Covenanters. The
history of these Scotch Irish or Cow
enanters is the most thrilling chapter
in the history of the world. Their

BIRDS THAT CAN TALK.
Species with Thick, Rounded Tongues
Are the Best.

People used to think that it was nee,
essary to cut the nerve of birds
tongues in order to make takers OF
them. But it is well understood now
that such cruelty is quite unnecessary.
The on account of the size of
It's tongue, "a a%rticulate words quite
well. Ravens and jays (Which repeat
single words after people, are favorite
pets with the peasants of the Thur
ingian forests in Germany.
In order to speak distinctly birds
must have thick, rounded tongues, and
the muscle must be loose. Parrots
tongues answer these requirements
best, hence they are the best takers.
Next to them come ravens, jackdaws
and jays. The hooded crow and the
carrion crow can also be taught to
speak.
The red and blue macaw is the finest
and most expensive variety of talking
parrot, as well as one Of the largest
varieties.

FISH FOSSIL FOUND
IN THE MOORE NINE.

Wednesday afternoon a Post repre-
sentative was SHOWN a fine petrifed
specimen which was taken from the
air shaft being sunk at the Moore coal
mine on Beaver creek, says the Sheri-
dan Post. The specimen had beer
sent tc the university at Laramie and
there named and classified as "a
section of a ganoid fish (Clastes Gun.
eatus) one of the four orders of fishes
in the classification of Agassiz. The
popularity of the fish is in its scales,
which are angular in shape, in oblique
rows and covered with a bright, red.
dish purple enamel. The specimen
shown was in two pieces, together
forming a section of a fish about the
size of a mans hand, apparently com
ing from about the center of the fish.
Among fossil fishes the ganoid type
is extremely prevalent, but recent
ganoids are comparatively few, the
sturgeon being, perhaps, the most plen-
tiful. The specimen was picked up
on the dump, and the workmen do moi
know what particular part of the shaft
it came from, but a diligent search is
being made with the hope of finding
the remainder of the FISH.

False Prophet Rrouaht Death,

Just before the opening of the Kafir
rebellion in South Africa, so years ago
the soothsayers babe the tribes kill
their cattle and destroy their crops of
grain. The spirits Of their ancestors
were to arise and help them to ex-
terminate every white man in the
country. The advice was solemnly &C.
cepted. When the day Of the great up
rising arrived many of the rebels
were already starving. But there
came no ghostly herds of cattle out
OF the earth, 10 crops not sown with
hands. Grim, terrible famine swept
over the land, and in the months
which followed, although the author
tiles did everything in their power to
mitigate its horrors, 10000 victims of
q false prophet starved to death.
