| ing night.
ut must he true, Plato,
Thou reasonest well.
| Else whence this pleasing hope,
This fond desire, this longing for i'm
mortality?
'Tis the Divinity that stirS within us;
| IT'S God Himself that points out
hereafter,
And intimates immortality to man"
Whatever then, deepens, intensifies,
strengthens our faith in God-adds to the
Easter joy. 1t may be the sunrise or the
sunset. the glimmer of the stars at night. a
whisper of conscience-if it tells us of one
who Is our Father it tells us also that
1.-The eternal God is thy refuge, and under
meath are the everlasting arms
And whatever may be the form of ex-
preston the Christian Church may use to-
day after all it expresses nothing more
nor less than this.
We read today the matchless story of the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
The writings inscribed with the names of
Matthew Mark, Luke and John come to us
with beauty and power fresh as the
spring time.
No longer, however, DO we ask: Are they
true?" To our lips comes the wiser ques-
ton: What is the truth that they con-
tain?" Through nineteen centuries truth
has given to them a vital force.
Is it the truth of a miracle or a violation
of law or a resurrection of body?
Or is ii the truth, brought with overpow-
ering conviction that of Jesus was it
proven as of all the race: God created Him
to be immortal and made Him to be an
image Of His own eternity"
It is not necessary to believe in miracles
to accept the empty tomb.
Very early in the morning. long before
day, the women heard the voice: why
seek We the living among the dead?"
Deep into their hearts sunk the truth: He
Is not here. He is risen"
I believe it was a truth.
No tomb since the world began has i'm
prisoned a human soul. In the cave of the
Hittlte there may be left tuft of hair,
piece of bone mound of dust. but neither
Abraham, Isaac nor Jacob rested within its
rocky walls In the new tomb of Joseph
the broken body may have been laid but
Jesus broke alike the chains of death and
hell.
And as I believe that in every age God
reveals himself to his world. believe that
devout souls today hear what Mary heard
II ascend unto my Father and your Father
and unto my God and your God
Immortality comes back to the foundation
where Jesus placed it.
In days of evil report and of good report,
when men shouted bosannahs and when
they missed curses. Jesus steadily kept his
eye on the Divine. 1t was his Fathers
business which he did. 1t was His Fathers
children whom he blessed. 1t was the
Father to whom He looked in the garden
and on the cross. In the Fathers house
were many mansions
I come from my Father and your
Father. I go to my Father and your
Father"
For Him, for us, for the ages past and
for the unknown future "the eternal God Is
a refuge and underneath are the everlasting
arms"
Jew and Gentle, Catholic and Protestant,
religionists of the east and of the west may
meet today in this truth.

The Great Alphabetical Tangle.

From the New York Mail.
One reason why system of spelling
English which should be as thoroughly and
beautifully simple as the accepted orthog-
raphy of Spanish and Italian cannot readily
be adopted is that the current spelling of
the language has in a great measure de-
stroyed the phonetic sense. Very few know
what the normal phonetic value of a given
letter of the alphabet and particularly of
our overworked vowels, is. The distinction
between pure sounds, like that of 20 in
cot" or of short 81, and diphthognal
sounds like 90 in bone" and 'i'' in
kite" is not apprehended. Ordinarily
speaking, only those who have studied and
mastered stenography which cannot be
written successfully without good knowl-
edge of vocal sounds. understand pho
netics." The visual faculty is the only one
that is trained in connection with words.
The result of adopting a phonetic system,
without some previous instruction in the
science of utterance, would be to make peo-
pie spell worse than ever. since they would
not know what character to assign to
sound.
Again, in this country we have tremen-
dously wide range of provincial pronuncia-
lions of what should be the same sound. A

Mental Poise and Health.

From Success Magazine.
People who reach extreme old age are, as
q rule, pretty well balanced, physically and
mentally. A poised life is serene, and seren-
ity and harmony tend to longevity. The
mind that Is not well balanced is constantly
tangled and out of tune. There Is con-
slant Earring which racks the whole human
machinery.
There is discord in an unbalanced life,
and discord Is always destructive-deadly.
The well-poised. dignified life is not thrown
off Its center quickly The man who goes
all to pieces over tribes is one-slded. There
is momentum in poised, balanced nature
