Easter a fact.
By Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee.

1.-THE Lord is rsen," said the apostles one
to another and in these few words was an
nounced to the world the greatest event of
all human history.
Long before this day Christ himself had
foretold that He would give to the world
this convincing sign of His divine mission
and so 1t was proved. This miracle sup
ports all the other supernatural events OF
Christs life recorded in the Gospels. II
He rose from the dead, then no objection
can be urged against His supernatural
birth, His healing of the sick the cleansing
of the lepers giving sight to the blind, the
raising of Lazarus or His ascension into
heaven.
The scientific tone of thought, atthe pres
ent time is strongly opposed to the bellef
in miracles of any kind whatsoever, but II
Christ's resurrection is true, this greater
miracle carries all lesser miracles OF the
Gospel with it. and God has provided that
the miracle of the resurrection as an his
torical fact should be more carefully but
tressed by historic proof of every kind than
any other event in human history

Temperance People Win Fight
at Buena Vista

r A safe majority went on record q
the POLLS in Buena Vista yesterda,
that that city shall remain in tn
temperance column and not licels
the sale of intoxicants, the "drys'
carrying both wards Of the city b,
majority of As. The vote casI
was 285, nearly the total vote2oI
the city. In the first ward there
were 151 votes polled, with IL ma.
jority for local option, and in the
second ward 1874 votes, with 81
majority.
Thus endeced a memorable cam.
paign. From the beginning obser-
want people expected that the TEN
perance cause weuld win out, but
they felt that this could be &C.
complished only by systematic and
the rough work. Both sides car
ried On a spirited campaign, but
without clash or personal hard
feelings, each side realizing that
this is a question about which
coed men may honestly differ.
The maj 1rity of the church people,
however. and the manufacturing
enterprises employing large forces
of hands, were lineG up on the
TEN perance side, the church peo-
pie because Of the moral issue in
volved, and the heads of the en-
terpises because of the additional
issue, no doubt, of the influence
affecting the reliability and eff
cheney Of their men. For these
reasons the leaders of TIE religious
and industrial life of the city unit
ed forces to hold the city in line
with local option in forbidding the
license srle Of liquors.
