Jesus Risen From the Dead.


Mystery of Edwin Brood" a
sensation of regret was felt by his
admirers that he had left a story
half told. Had the evangelists
laid down their pens before mar
rating the resurrection, it would
not have been passing sensation
Of regret, but the universal human
heart would have been torn asun-
der between faith and doubt.
There is so much upon the sacred
page to indicate Divinity, but the
glorious seal to it would be lack
ing. The unfinished Mystery of
Jesus Christ would have plunged
each succeeding generation of read
ers into grief and despair. The
lament of the disciples on the way
to Emmaus would have been the
worlds refrain. 1--WE thought it
had been He who should have re-
deemed us. But how can an un.
risen Savior save?"
With Joy and confdecce we turn
then to the fourfold narrative of
the resurrection. No unfinished
mystery is here. That last event
essential to the symmetry of the
Divine Person is told with incon-
testable truth. Each evangelist,
from his own point of view, mar
rates the sublime event independ-
entity of the rest. What one lacks,
the others supply. Each gives
some minor touch caught upon the
sensitive plate of his own individ-
uality. So from the four pencils
groweth the everything picture of
the soul-the rising Christ! From
the four Gospels the circumstan-
tial evidences of the resurrection
of Jesus may be CLEANED and ar
ranged as follows:
I. Reality of Jesus Death.
Insured by
(IJ Discipline of Roman soldiers.
- Malice of enemies.
60 Centurion's report.
Hence the temperance of Jesus
not the result Of recovery from
swoon.
II. Jesus Tomb Empty on Third
Day
Fact admitted by friend and
foe, Mistake impossible; one body
only in tomb,
(D Body not taken by enemies.
No object in removing it, or
could have refused story of resur-
rection by reproducing body.
(2) Body not taken by friends.
Proved by their transparent in
genousness.
CD Body could not have been
taken by any one.
(a) Because of discipline Of
Roman soldiers.
(b) Because of position of
grave clothes.
Q. E. D.-Christ arose of His
own will and power.
No event of human history is
more completely verified, more in
contestably authenticated, than
the resurrection of Jesus from the
tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, in
the garden near to Calvary. If
that circumstance, as related by
the evangelists, can be impeached,
then any page of history can be
impeached by the same methods.
In this circumstantial narrative
full of incidents that at first
glance seem trivial, but soon ap-
pear each in its proper place-an
irrefragable link in the mightiest
chain of evidence ever forged, it is
as if one hears the Masters voice
to His doubling disciples in each
generation: "Reach hither thy
finger, and behold My hands, and
reach hither thy hand, and thrust
it into My side, and be not faith
less, but believing"

The resurrection OF Jesus is the
confessed cornerstone Of the Chris
tan system. If He be not risen,
it is built upon a lie; faith is vain !;
apostles are false witnesses; spirit
ual resurrection Of the soul from
the deafness Of sin is an illusion;
the resurrection Of the body a
mockery; those who died in the
false hope are annihilated.

Faith in the resurrection of Je
sus is inseparable from the Scrip
lures. Cut off from them it with
ers as the branch severed from the
vine. No amount of watering
serves to keep it alive. Neglect
of the Bible, indifference to it, or
contempt oft, is the fruitful cause
of unbelief.

There was nothing preternatural
in the personal appearance of Te-
sus in the forty days after His res
direction. His countenance was
not like lightning nor His raiment
white as snow. He was mistaken
for a gardener, and later as a COM
mon traveller. There was sweet
"humanness" in His words as we'll.
He uttered Mary's name with a
familiar accent. He called the
disciples "My brethren" He ap-
pointed free-and-easy Galilee as
the place of rendezvous. Even the
salutation "All hailw which in
our version seems so majestic, is
really just the common and happy
greeting OF friends.

The New Football.

The next meeting of the Intercollegiate
football rules committee is due this
evening In view of Harvard's trans
ference of her representative from the
old committee to the newer body. this
meeting will mark crisis in the move
ment of reform" in the American col
lege game Upon the action of this COM
mittee will depend the outcome of what
writer in Public Opinion terms "the
great football secession Of 1905" That
there will be changes in football is indubi-
table the only question is, Which of
two possible courses will be followed?
Will there be amalgamation Of the old
committee and the new, or shall football
in the Eastern colleges. with no natural
cause for divided government, proceed
under bipartite control?
The protesting colleges now federated
under the nominal leadership of New
York University, after beginning their
campaign on lines that threatened to
plunge football into a chaos of ruin,
finally came to their senses, and under
the actual leadership of West Point sent
committee to report to and amalgamate
with the elder body. At the time WAL
TER CAMP, the father of American foot
ball" announced his willingness to well
come the representatives of the new
association; and it is still his wish to
get together all those who love the
game and know something about it; to
keep in football all those elements it now
has that are good and to cut out unspar-
ingly what is bad" One or two men,
bers of his committee, however, threaten
to block the proposed amalgamation.
The big" colleges play games with the
little" ones; these games are necessary
to the arrangement of satisfactory
schedule an integral part in the de-
velopment of the big teams for the
big" games. There is every argument
for, and no reasonable argument against,
the proposed amalgamation magnified

Harvard long elaboration is justific
by its results. The recommendations
of her committee ara excellent, both as
to the correction of the existing rules
and their enforcement on the field of
play Even the danger of extreme re-
action appears to have passed, and the
prospect is that moderation will prevail

technical legislation may be left with
safety to the experts of the amalgamated
rules committees it is proper to remcm-

judge Pryor on the Oslerian Limit.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrS-S'r; Dr.:
Osler has arbitrarily fixed certain period
sixty years-at which a man becomes old
and therefore incapable of effective action
in the conduct of life. The proposition as
sumes, correctly enough, that old age s such
a decay, if not paralysis. of the faculties as
renders a man impotent. and hence useless to
himself and to society. and involves, as a
postulate that at a specified time he is In
this sense and to this effect an old man.
The fallacy of this reasoning was long
since exposed. Time is no aeent-in reality
does nothing and is nothing is in fact only
compendious expression for all those causes
which operate in time. Unless some positive
cause be in action. no change takes place in
any lapse of time. Archbishop Whately's S
Annexation to "Bacon's Essays, Students
Edition. PIP. 22o-2As)
Whether. therefore, a man be old in the
sense of senity depends not upon the years
he has lived but upon the health and strength
of his faculties of body and mind. If these
be unmpaired and unaffected. he is not an
"old man"
To ascertain, then. whether man be COM
petent to the exigencieS of life we must look
not to his years, but to his actual condition.
And as that condition varies according to the
agencies which have operated upon it, we
observe that some men at eighty are really
Younger t. e. more efficient, than others at
fifty.
II is obvious, therefore, that in his proscrip-
ton OF the so-caed "old men DR.. Osler talks
simple nonsense.
His remark, too. is not only silly, but in
human inasmuch as it tends to Justify and
aeGravate that contempt for age which is
characteristic of the strenuous American life
of the present day. The student of history
will instruct him that from ancient Greece to
modern Japan communities have been pros
porous in proportion TO their respect for the
counsels of experience. ROGER A. PRYOR.

JEWELS, GIFT OF EMPRESS :
Miss Carl Wears the Decorations She Res

Miss Kate Carl, the woman who painted
the portrait Of the Empress Of China, gave
a lecture and tea at the Waldorf Astoria
Yesterday afternoon for the benefit of the
Young Womens Christian Association.
Miss Carl spoke on the Empress Of China
and the customs of Chinese women. Nine
young girls served tea in exquisite old
Chinese court gowns which had been pre-
sented to Miss Carl by the Empress.
Miss Carl wore for the first time in tho
United States the jewels which she received
from the Empress and other members OF
the Chinese royalty. Among these was the
decoration OF the Order OF the Double
Dragon. 1t was a dark red sash crossing
the breast and fastened at the left sds
with star studded with Jade and pearls
She wore also the decoration of a mandarin
of the second degree, which is chain
reaching nearly to the knees made of amber
and jade, and bearing decoration Of
jade and pearls, which are the imperial
stones.
There was also the flaming pearl of the
dynasty, the only one in the United States
1t is series of raised scrolls set with coral
and pearls and mounted with large pearl.
There was a scented wood bracelet SET
with pearls, and large pearl ring which

Law and the Police.

East Side delicatessen dealer charged
with assautng policeman, Recorder
GoFF smoke these words of good sense
and good law:
If the defendant had stands ontsld" Of his s'or"
the ofr,cer could have summoned him to court for
violation OF city ordinance and he could have
had the stands removed; hut under our law a

This defendant had right n be in his store.
and this officer had no right whatever TO follow
him into the store and arrest him The arrest was
wholly unjustinabe and the defendant was justihed
in having taken recourse to such force as he
deemed necessary to resis, an unlawful arrest
Police officers must act within the law. and the
mere fact tina, a man Is in uniform and wearing a
shield Of authorty's no warrant for HIM to act In
way that is arbitrary and against the law"
Not a few of the abuses and not a
little of the corruption within the Police
Department are due directly to the fact
that policemen are allowed frequently
to act outside the law, to substitute
their own judgment for the statutes of
the State, and to conduct themselves as
persons above the rules and restraints
laid down for the guidance and control
of other citizens We're the police al
wavs to act within their legal duties
and powers many reforms that now
seem unattainable would be accom-
plished automatically.
When it finally has been beaten into
the heads of the police that they are
the servants of the law and not the
masters of the citizens, a substantial
gain of decent administration will have
been made.
