DUE TO GIFT OF SPEECH.
Many and Various Are the "eenefits, !"
 Says Writer In Puck.

The gift of speech Is the last proof of divine favor, in virtue of which mankind has the rest of the animal kingdom faded, and stands in a class by himself. Some beasts are stronger than men, and some know more, but no beast can be such bore as a man, nor can any beast slop over, in the true sense of the term. These dis functions we owe to the gift of speech. The gift of speech, moreover, lays us under compulsion to read great many things which otherwise we would not, in order that when wo have nothing to say, we may never theless say something. Thus We pro- mote the publishing business. create . demand for wood-pulp, assist in the deforestation of the earths surface, stir up a new school of kickers. in. crease discomfort and contribute. at length, to progress and petulance. Our ancestors used to consider speech a means of concealing thought, but we have nothing to conceal.-Puck.

Parable with a Sting.

Bart Kennedy. the English novelist and sociologist, in the course of a bit ter attack on the senate, said in Washington: "The senate is true to the American people. Oh, yes; very true to them. Very true indeed. Whenever I think how true the senate is to the people the case of Mary Miles comes into my mind. Mary's husband was a soldier. A soldier out in India, fighting for his king. And one day a friend said to Mary: Mary, are your thoughts always true to Charlie, away out there. fighting the hill tribes?' Yes. indeed. they are. Mary answered. Whenever man kisses me I shut my eyes and try to think it's Charlie '"-Chicago Chron tcle.

The Coward In Us All,

One little sentence written by v. v. v. in the Sphere stabs one rather poignantly. q am a coward at heart" There are things that . man suspects about himself but does not say. says a writer in the London Chronicle. For example, you may see man grinning when he is accused of being a cynic. but one has not heard man saying calmly and seriously, q am a bit of a snob." Snobbism is not vice for the public confessional. You may ac. cuse a man of being Lothario" and he will be pleased. If you call him . coward-it is a challenge. Yet there is always the snapping point. And " V. V. shows his courage in confessine the universal failure of civilized man, T am a coward at heart"

The Question Answered
 By the Resurrection
By Rev. Reuben kidner.

tO1 the Ep.scopdl NHurcii.b
 = HE meaning of the resurrection H is that it confirms the belief in S the immortality of the soul. which all mankind everywhere have held. Socrates, just before the end. says to his friends: But that which I some time since argued at length. that when I have drunk the poison l shall no longer remain with you, but shall depart to some happy state of the blessed" On an ancient Greek tomb we read: Mother. leave thy grief. remembering the soul which Zeus has rendered immortal and un- decaying to me for all time, and has carried now into the starry skies" This is another Greek utterance: Dying. thou art not dead. thou art

gone to a happier country. And in the isles of the blest thou rejoicest, and thou shalt not hunger or thirst any more. Yea. and thy gods arc thy light, and glory is ever upon thee"
 Thoughts like these occupied the minds of the blest and wisest long before the Christian era. Intimations of immortality abound in all litera. lures. The resurrection is not bolt out of clear sky. It is rather a stage in a process of evolution. IL builds upon that which has gone be-
 fore. It adds to what is already known. It confirms what was sur
 missed. It gives form and shape to shadowy, but persistent and inde
 structible hopes and longings. The thought of the ages prepared the way for belief in the resurrection
