AT THE
BOYS REFORM SCHOOL

The assembly room at the Boys Reform
School on the Bladensburg pike is being
made ready for the great singing event of
the school year-that of Easter day. For
many years the effort of the trustees has
been to encourage musical work among the
boys.
The 200 and more boys are divided into
four families, each having a separate or
ganization with it's own building. including
school room. play room and dormitories. In
each of the four family school rooms is
piano AT least twice week all the four
families are gathered in the assembly hail.
where they sing in unison.
All this musical work has for years
been under the instruction of Organist Dom
aid B. Macleod, and the results, it is said,
have been very gratifying. The high stand
ard Of musical effort set by Leader Mac
Leod has been no higher than the stand
ard of hymnology set many years ago by
the board of trustees, to whom this method
of impressing the minds and hearts of the
boys in their charge has always seemed of
high Importance, on the theory that the
family of boys that not only sing, but loves
to sing, and sing well, is much more easily
controlled than that to which music is little
known.
Easter Sunday is to the boys the great

Special Correspondence of The Star.
BOSTON. March %. 1907.
Secretary William Shaw of the United
Society of Christian Endeavor has issued
the following statement:
1T is sometimes said that the earlier
years of Christian Endeavor were its years
of progress. In reality it has grown far
more rapidly and spread far more widely
over the earth during the last half of its
existence than during the first half. Nor
is there any indication that this momentum
is weakening; rather, it is increasing with
a still stronger impetus.
Editor Amos r. Wells editorial secre-
tsry of the United Society, has investigated
the record and reported the growth of the
second half of the history as compared
with the first. The United Society has
issued this report in substance follows:
Eighteen hundred and nnety-three is the
exact halfway point between the founding
of Christian Endeavor and the present.
AT that halfway point We find the
United States containing 81 $50 societies.
The figures now are more than twice as
great, namely, A 800 Canada then had
1852 societies, now il has more than twice
as many. namely, 4,30l. Alaska then had
., now II has 20. Mexico had p. now it
has six times as many-l33.
Central America had none, now 1t has
"a. South America had only 3, now it has
Jos. The West Indies then had oil now
they have 2s7. Cuba then had no societies,
now it has 10. Porto Rico had none now
1t has 3. Panama, of course, had none,
now it has 2.
In the Madeira Islands there is one So
cety, where in 1893 there were none; and
one society in Iceland, where before none

HOW TO FIX THE
DATE OF EASTER

There has been some debate here as to
how the date of Easter is determined.
Easter has been observed by the Christian
church since early times, in comment
Grafton Of the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. 1t is observed by the Roman Cath
Ollie, Greek. Episcopal and Lutheran
churches, and by other non-liturgical de-
nominations which do not generally observe
the church calendar. Easter is the Sunday
following the fourteenth day of the calendar
moon which falls upon or next after the
twenty-frst day of March. This is true
both of the old style and new, and the rule
has been followed though not universally,
from a very early day.
Gauss has computed a rule for determn-
ing the date of Easter, and IT is used quite
generally. First, take and from the
following table:

Prosperity and Luncheon Boxes.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Il do not know whether to attribute 1t to
the present prosperity or what, but have
lately noticed that few clerks, stenogra-
piers and persons similarly employed carry
luncheon boxes" said a business man who
rides to his office every morning in a car
filled with such workers. "A few wears
ago these boxes were numerous and the
practice of carrying them was almost uni
versal among the class of employees re-
ferred to. Corresponding in point of time
with their disappearance has been an enor-
nous increase in the number of luncheon
places. l have no doubt that warm. sub
stantial food. freshly cooked and properly
served, has displaced the dry, unsayory
little boxes of former DAYS"

The Son Of God Is not only the ideal for
man, but the ideal man-gentle, yet strong;
Just, yet loving; consumed with an abiding
passion Ito seek and to save the whole

man as God would have him be-and by
divine grace and power what he shall be.
In that picture is the dark shadow of suf-
fering, shame, death! Yes, but the bright

save to the uttermost all them who come

intercede for them"

Lite Continued.
By Rev. DR.. Teunis S. Hamlin.

Our thought of Easter and of resurrection
Is usually of life renewed. 1t should be of
life continued through the transition and
temporary observation that we call death
There is no reason to suppose that death
makes any change in the human spirit. We
sometimes comfort ourselves with believing
that it does. To speak only good of the
dead is our charitable maxim and practice
But this does not mean that we believe that
the sinner is by the article of death changed
into saint. There is no alchemy in dying
that transforms the base metal Of sensuous-
ness and selfishness into the pure gold of
holy love.
Nor, on the other hand, has death any
power to impair righteousness of life. Char
acter resides in the spirit. not In the flesh:
and 1t Is only the flesh that dies. And our
flesh is not we. 1t comes and goes while we
remain. The intellect, conscience, affec-
lions, will-these are we. Here indeed they
deal with the flesh. Through it sensations
come Of pain or pleasure But sensations
are not we. Let them be of pain. There

By general system of comfy among the
missions the territory which is now suffer-
ing from famine is allotted to the Southern
Presbyterians. Thus it comes about that
the only American missionaries actually at
work within this 10000 square miles belong
to single denomination This fact H.
Illustrates the immensely of China as a mis-
sion field. There are other denomina tons
working on the edges of the famine-North-
ern Presbyterians in Shantung, Northern
Methodists, Southern Baptists, Quakers,
Disciples and Presbyterians at Marking,
Yangchow and Chinkiang.
Within the affected zone there are three
Roman Catholic missions, but these are
manned by French priests. There are also
q few China inland missions, but the au-
thorities of this organization have taken
the position that their missionaries shall
not engage in relief work. except to care
for their own members and adherents.
Doughty Miss Read, at Antung, has ap-
parently cut communications between her
self and headquarters, for she, declining ITO
be bound by any such narrow regulations.
is working as manfully for all the needy
as the best male missionary concerned.
The Roman Catholics at first declined to
cooperate in general relief work. in which
no sectarian distinctions PROSECUTING are
permitted but later they accepted the
Shanghai committees terms.
The situation Is at present that the mis-
sionaries have to a great extent surren-
dered their regular religious work and have
become Organizers of relief and distributors
OF foodstuffs. No attempt is being made to
turn this work to the advantage of the mis-
sions. Indeed, most Of the missionaries are
standing up SO straight that they are bend
Ing over backward. for they refuse to let
Christians and inquirers share in the relief
funds that come from Shanghai. I heard a
viilager offer to join my companions church

He told her that such a step would simply
remove her present chances Of securing
