Rev. O. c. McGehee. pastor Court Street Methodist Episcopal Church. That which I would offer to my fei- low men as my message on this Easter Day is. Christian Hope. This Is Pe- ters greeting to believers in the open ing words of his First Epistle. He thanked God for having begotten His disciples again to living hope by the resurrection. of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and unfadiRg. We learn from Peters words that Christian Hope has thxse characteristics: It has God for its at- thor. the grave of Christ as its place of growth, and an inheritance incorrupti- bie and unfailing as It's object. Such q hope as this Is eyer-f fiourishing. inex- haustfble, limit1ess, and Is therefore an

with Glad and Grateful Hearts.

Rev. W. M. Cox. pastor Dexter Av- enue Methodist Episcopal Church, South--History records no greater event than the resurrection oflodr Lord. The chronology of the world testifes It's certainty and importance. Frag- rant flowers and singing birds remind us that spring has rolled the ston4 from its wintry grave, but they also point to the greater resurrection of Him who removes the sting of death and the horror of the tomb. The Bible does not command us to celebrate this oc- casion and (so far as Methodists are coneerned) the church does not. but in the free will offerings of glad and grateful hearts.

Rev. John Bass Shelton, pastor Ad- ans Avenue Baptist Church--The word Easter. as translated in Acts xii, [. in the Authorized Version, is cor rectly translated in the Revised Ver- sion, Passover; However. that does not mean the pascha1 supper. but the fes- tival which 1t Introduces. Therefore, we say Easter Day, or Easter Sunday, but very improperly. However there Is no more beautiful nor sweeter ser- vice than one which celebrates or em- phasizes the resurrection of our Lord. Jesus Christ. and We are constantly do- ing this in two ways. i. Every Sab. bath as we gather in worship because the change of the Sabbath Day from Saturday to Sunday was made fin honor of the resurrection of Christ. Up to the day he rose from the grave his fol- lowers all observed Saturday as the Sabbath Day 2, We emphasize and celebrate his resurrection in baptism. Every time we lay person in the watery grave and raise him up out of that grave, we commemorate not only our own death to sin and resurrection to a new life, but also the burial of Jesus Christ and his resurrection The custom of late years practiced on the approach of Easter, to say the least of 1t, Is a shame. I mean the fad of having to have, in order to be in fashion, a new Easter hat and a new Easter dress The sin of extravagance thatsis so universally praeticed in this age Is very greats

ed the death inflicted on Him on Good Friday. and the world would not have remembered Him fifty years! There. fore. as St. Paul says: If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain. and your faith is also vain" and man would still be unredeemed. Men have tried, and men still try to prove that Christ was not God, but in vain: His resurrection Is history's testimony to His divinity. And this makes us real ize more fully the meaning of Chrisfs death on the cross, since 1t was the sac rihce of a God Man, out of pure love and mercy for most unworthy nortals. Hence this joyous Easter ratiies the work of the Savior, and gives to man a promise of future resurrection and a life of everlasting happiness in Heav- en.

The Manufacturers association the Parry outflt-at their late meet ing, decided to raise a fund of $1,- 5O0,vO0 to fight the labor unions. A resolution was also adopted in op- position to all illegal combinations either of capital or labor. As many of these manufacturers are also members of trusts and all are tariff beneficiaries, their resolving to op- pose illegal combinations of capital can hardly be serious, except for the purpose of appearing fair in their determination to fight the labor unions. TOT years these same man. ufacturers have been advising the workingmen to organize against tariff reform or their wages would be reduced, and now they propose to fight the unions for organizing to in- crease their wages and reduce their hours of labor.

CAN'T SING AND LOOK PRETTY.
That ls Why One Woman Has No
 Vocal Ambitions.

"Of course it's nice in some ways to Fave a beautiful voice, but I'm glad don't sing" said the pretty woman as she applauded perfunctorily after the soprano solo. Yes, I am fond of music, but that is sufficient. If I could be tempted to sing, what would happen to my good looks? l think 1t is not silly for a woman to wish to look we'll at all times.
 "A woman never looks pretty or beautiful when she sings. She invari. ably twists her mouth to one side and makes her face appear crooked. I have keenly observed the last ten singers I have heard, and every one of them opened her mouth on a bias. I haven't the slightest idea why they do it, unless the muscles of one side of the face are stronger than those on the other, and in the effort to sing the stronger muscles do the most work. I suppose men do the same thing, but generally they wear mustaches to cover their mouths.
 If one shuts ones eyes a song al. ways is enjoyed more, for there Is something disturbing about pretty woman deliberately making herself a fright by stretching her mouth in song."

The Window of Refuge.

Scarcely single tourist who drives down the stately Prado, in Havana and turns oh into the fashionable Malecon along the sea knows the sig nificance of the ever open window which he notices in an ancient build lag on his left. For centuries it has been the custom to leave this window open day and night for the reception of stray infants, of these poor little unfortunates born under such circum- stances that their parents cannot claim them. They are left on the win dow sill, chiefly during the silent hours of the night. and when found are taken care of by various priests. who bring them up in the Catholic faith and usually urge them to become priests or nuns. Very few ever dis cover their rightful parents.

The Chattanooga, Tenn, Times is authority for the statement that Texas wants Senator Culberson nominated for president by the dem- ocratic convention" Doubtless there is a very strong feeling in Texas for the nomination of Senator Culber- son, but whether 1t Is widespread enough to insure him the support of the delegates from other states that will not be elected for a year to come, is a debatable question, says one writer. In these stirring times a month often upsets political calcu- lations and the events of year may entirely change the mind of demo- crats as to the policy of nominating a candidate that may now appear to be desirable. Senator Culberson is we'll fitted to fill any position and if the democracy should select him as their candidate there would be no doubt of his ability and his honesty of purpose in carrying forward the peoples wIn. But in case there is general demand from the southern states to name the candidate. nearly every state will present a favorite son. all of whom are also entitled to consideration, and the question will be who is the most available and who can best unite the party in the doubt full states?

President Cabrera of Guatemala, has not gotten used to being marked out for assassination and his recent experience is said to have made him extremely nervous.

 It is gratifying to note that the famine which has devastated some districts of China and which has pro- vided abnormal business for the un- dertaker, has finally been broken. The weather for the past few weeks has been favorable to good crops. The famine in Russia continues undimin- ished, and the hunger cry from mill lions of throats in the czar's empire is pathetic.-Hartford Times.
 The death of Joseph L. Stickney, the war correspondent, recalls the fact that of the men who were in command at the battle of Manila bay there are few aside from Dewey, Coughlan and Lamberton who are alive.

 The kaiser's spokesman who told the visiting British editors that they sometimes get things wrong about Germany" and then informed them that German emigration since the beginning of the nineties has not exceeded 30,000 a year." appears to be liable to the same charge.

 The scout cruiser Birmingham. launched at Quincy, Mass, is ac- knowledged to be less speedy than vessels of the same class in the Eng fish navy, fact that will cause many a patriot to regret that his country is content to bring up behind any foreign power.

 The historic plains of Abraham will be dedicated to a national park at the celebration next year of the 300th anniversary of the founding of Que bee, provided those most prominent in the commemoration are able to have their way. At present the plains are marred by rife factory, and instead of listening to the demand that they remove to another site, the owners of the plant demand more room. No more appropriate place, it would seem, for a rife factory. --Meriden Journal.
